X
US Steel
The stock is way down this year, and report this week. With the lousy Chinese economy, probably going to more steel here at home, and Union contract negotiations going nowhere, it should not be an easy earnings call this week.
I noticed it closed up On Friday, which probably means I am going in the wrong direction, but so be it.
X, short
P.S. I have been having so much fun in retirement the last few months, I do not know if I will continue on this winter in the weekly picks.
Simply letting you know if I am not around as much, it's just that life is getting in the way.

In relative years, life is short; so enjoy what fun and relaxation you can, while you can. I can tell you, if you are fortunate enough to reach 90, you will slow down, and perhaps way down. In that 65-70, up to 85 or so period, definitely take as much time as available to
relax and "smell the roses", you will never regret it. Really enjoy your free years while you are able.

Wow.
Ten percent up, and now five percent down.
Talk about a swing from Monday.
Twenty five percent swing from the opening price and Wednesday's close.
This market is hard to get correct right now.

The bulls have been carrying this market a lot longer than I expected; but I think the bears are about to take it back. Here's a link to a point & figure chart of the Dow Industrials. If it works, we're now getting some zeros to the downside. www.stockcharts.com/freecharts/gallery.html?$induI just clicked on the link above; it worked for me..... have a good market day...!!! |
