long DAC (Danaos Corp - Shipping) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward revisions screen. It's based in Greece so a potentially high risk play. |

Under Armour Inc, UA, long.
It is just off it's yearly high, and currently in the $100 price point, and might break out on earnings this week. With the end of year success with the number one golfer in the game this year, I think they might beat earnings.
UA, long.

FPRX (long) Five Prime Therapeutics Inc.
This stock closed Friday at $31.65. Last 2 days ... big spikes. Company
announced a new worldwide license and collaboration agreement with
Bristol-Myers-Squibb. Profit takers now could make this a very poor
contest choice for a 5 day contest. .... Oh well, we'll see.

Sorry, kadee. I went with OPK as it is a holding of mine and have a feeling it is beginning a mild recovery trend.

Expacted that OPK might break out of the gate fast; but, will probably struggle to stay on lead as the week runs out (barring some unexpected surprise annoucement). Four more full laps to go to reach the final wire, much could change.

Mod, ..... well, I'm the only negative one today; and I'm not surprised .... after those 2 big spikes on
Thursday and Friday. But I'm very curious about what my horse will do the next 4 days.

It's going to be a mixed up mess by end of day. OPK dropping back in the pack, probably a lead change coming. Going to be an interesting close; but still 3 more laps will remain, with probably a wild finish to close out the week.  |

OPK is not racing...stopped to smell some flowers. Yawn. If this keeps up and gets back in the 8's Thu or Fri, will pick up a few more shares.
2:30 EDT: Picked up a few round lots...hit price.

congratulations to last week's winners. I was busy in the Great Smokie Mountains and touring down the Blue Ridge parkway, on the way to Florida.
Sure enjoyed that a lot more than my nag's run last week.
My real life portfolio struggled on a rather decent week too.
