Will stay with OPK (long), though Monday's earning report may still be a tad on the negative side. Earnings should begin to turn positive by mid-2016, so perhaps things may remain positive. We shall see.

And I concur, Happy Veterans Day!
Be sure and shake a veteran's hand all week, every week!!
This week I will go with El Poco Loco Holdings Inc.
This stock was a bull when issued, and jumped to over $41 a share in August of 2014.
Now trading in the low teens, $11.20's and change.
Has beat by a penny the last two quarters, and still fell in value.
Hoping it is bottoming out. We will see this week on earnings report.
Loco, long.

Based on after hours trading I just secured the basement for everyone again this week! It seems like a loco reaction considering it was an earnings beat and revenue miss. |
