Only a six horse race this week.
We should all have a clear track to the finish line, unless we get a lot of "rain"

[ModE98]

Where's Ombud??  She's always good competition. 

[ModE98]

Wow, VB, NFLX up 26.77 (3.93%)!  Keep that up and you have absolutely no competition this week.

Oops, closing a bit higher as last buys are cleared......yikes!  Wednesday may be the BIG day as they do the 7-1 split.

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy takes the early lead. kadee66 is second and ModE92 third. Those were the only players beating the benchmark. Uncle23’s ONVO had a YahooFinance quote that made no sense so I used the quote from TradeKing. I will check the historical opens tomorrow.

Player	L or S	Symbol	$ Open	$ Close	% Close
Value Buy	L	NFLX	$686.69	$707.61	3.05%
kadee66	L	COT	$10.28	$10.47	1.85%
Mod E	L	R	$90.61	$91.79	1.30%

clarkrl2	L	MOH	$70.36	$69.78	-0.82%

[architecto25]

ModE92, thank you sir,... for correcting Post 10. I had just sent a message to someone that I thought would
appreciate being advised of the error.
Just curious ... how did that happen ?

[ModE98]

architecto, saw the error when I checked the thread, and just made the correction for clarkrl.  He probably did it as you closed just ahead of him near the bottom.  He just had you in mind when posting the list comments, no doubt.   Well, you at least had a few minutes of fame.

Yes, looks good today, but if they do not say good things about future revenue, on the quarterly call, we could see a $100 a share drop on Thursday.
A $700 a share stock price is ridiculous.
Then again if forward guidance is good, who knows how high is high?

[clarkrl2]

Thanks ModE92, I was having issues with the message board and YahooFinance. I’ll try to make sure I correct my spread sheet for tomorrow.

[ModE98]

Looks like we are going to have some position changes/swings today if the early running holds.  Whoom/Boom.

Appears that architecto has found another fast horse, at least for today....thinks its tail is on fire, or....?

architecto, believe clarkrl was just a day ahead of himself on yesterday's original ranking post comments.

Seems like another wild week is on the way!

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 takes over the lead on day two. uncle23 is second and kadee66 third. Five of six are beating the benchmark.

Player	L or S	Symbol	$ Open	$ Close	% Close
architecto25	L	RDUS	$73.77	$79.90	8.31%
uncle.23	L	ONVO	$3.85	$4.12	7.01%
kadee66	L	COT	$10.28	$10.57	2.82%

BenchMark	L	QQQ	$108.57	$110.26	1.56%
Mod E	L	R	$90.61	$91.46	0.94%

[Value Buy]

After two pretty good days, the QQQ'S are only up 1.56%.

[ModE98]

R took the day off. 

[architecto25]

ModE92, ..... my horse, RDUS, told me he's taking the day off to keep R company.

[ModE98]

Beginning to wonder if R really wants to run.  Doesn't appear like he is remotely interested anymore.  Monday's short spurt wore him out.

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 takes over the lead as the race moves past halfway. architecto25 is the only other player beating the benchmark. Value Buy's NFLX has an adjusted open to reflect the 7:1 stock split.

Player	L or S	Symbol	$ Open	$ Close	% Close
clarkrl2	L	MOH	$70.36	$73.13	3.94%
architecto25	L	RDUS	$73.77	$75.38	2.18%
BenchMark	L	QQQ	$108.57	$110.38	1.67%
uncle.23	L	ONVO	$3.85	$3.89	1.04%
kadee66	L	COT	$10.28	$10.33	0.49%
Value Buy	L	NFLX	$98.10	$98.13	0.03%
Mod E	L	R	$90.61	$90.25	-0.40%

[ModE98]

Wild day again.  Good move up for MOH, clarkrl2!

R needs some new oats and fresh cool water.

[ModE98]

VB's NFLX is soaring at noon.... KABOOM!  If this holds up, we should have a new leader tonight.
The horse must have a jet pack on the saddle.  Good news has a direct effect on stocks.

[Value Buy]

See what happens when they register more subscriptions than expected?
Love the quarterly report and guidance.
Still......very lucky pick.
I forgot NFLX was splitting the stock Wednesday, which sometimes stocks that split, drop in price for a few days.
I see it was reported Tuesday, that they have disappointed 3 out of the last 4 YOY quarters, so there was a better than 50% chance they would disappoint again.

Throw in Janet Yellen reporting Wednesday to Congress, and Greeks rioting in the evening in front of their Parliament, and I still get the big bump.
I got so lucky this week.
NOW, IF I ONLY OWNED THIS STOCK.......

[ModE98]

"NOW, IF I ONLY OWNED THIS STOCK......." 
I'm sure most of us feel that way at the moment.

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy takes over the lead with one day to go. architecto25 is second and clarkrl2 third. Those are the only players beating the benchmark.

Player	L or S	Symbol	$ Open	$ Close	% Close
Value Buy	L	NFLX	$98.10	$115.81	18.05%
architecto25	L	RDUS	$73.77	$77.64	5.25%
clarkrl2	L	MOH	$70.36	$72.71	3.34%
BenchMark	L	QQQ	$108.57	$111.94	3.10%
kadee66	L	COT	$10.28	$10.52	2.33%

Mod E	L	R	$90.61	$91.13	0.57%

[Value Buy]

Today it is GOOGLE"S turn to scream ahead.
What is going on with Nasdaq stocks these days?
Especially health, internet, new age companies.

[ModE98]

And no one picked Google, what a shame.
The markets remain a mysterious enigma.

[architecto25]

Value Buy,... be sure you don't run out of JP4 (jet fuel) in that JATO (Jet auxilliary take off) this Friday afternoon. You 
picked a real winner. I still vividly recall landing a jet one day with only 15 gallons left (long story why).

I'm involved in a major move; therefore, I might not walk a horse to the starting gates next 2-3 weeks. That note is
for Clark ..... who does a fantastic job managing these contests ....!
