Will go with United Parcel Service this week.
UPS, long
Don't know where the markets are going to be this week, but they report and retail business has been showing signs of life, so maybe more product being shipped to customers this quarter than originally estimated.

Value Buy jumps out to the early lead in the big brown truck. Disinfranchised Investor is second and the benchmark holds third. I wasn't able to find quotes on Yahoo Finance for some of the symbols so I used Big Charts. I will check Yahoo historical quotes tomorrow for open prices. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | Value Buy | L | UPS | $94.50 | $95.12 | 0.66% | | D.

I am wondering how far Cat will go.
I am thinking it could have the inside track this week, unless metals do a gigantic about face the next two days.....

Value Buy CBB would have been a better pick this week than last but I think AEL is ready to give you a run for your money. You better get that big brown truck in overdrive because AEL is rocking like Carl Perkins.

CONGRATULATIONS to Clarkrl2 (Win) & Value Buy (Place). I have clicked onto the race a few times. My major move efforts were over late yesterday. Tough week. Had a bad back for several days. YUK. But 4 guys did the major work on Wednesday. Oh, to be young again...!!!! I will not walk a horse to the gates this week ..... perhaps next. |
