Long DAC (Danaos Corporation - Shipping)
From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward earnings estimate revisions. Since they are based in Greece this is a high risk pick.

Well, my horse has had 3 good days; but I think he's getting very tired .... and
his spot the next 2 days may put him a lot lower in the race .....Good morning, everyone.
.....& I forgot: "Clark, you get a blue ribbon for your excellent race track management."

AAPL down big again this morning, headed to the rear of the pack.  Some comeback in late trading.... There's always some hope of survival! |

Amazing moves! One day to go! Sure thought AAPL was in real trouble, but more than halved the early loss in afternoon.

Strange....traders that disliked AAPL yesterday are loving it this morning. They may be fickle and change their minds this afternoon. Never know in this crazy market.  |
