OK, I deviated from the norm and picked a good one. Now back to the mediocre.
I am going with PAYX, Long. Paychex is a payroll company who will handle the payroll for your company. They have gotten beaten up this past week, but I suspect they may recover.

I have to go with one of my holdings this week, and go straight up against Ombud.
JPM, long.
No reason other than I have to start hoping at least one of my holdings will actually be positive for me this week.........

Yahoo didn't have some of the opening prices so I used bigcharts instead. I'll try to check the historical prices tomorrow.
Disinfranchised Investor takes the early lead. architecto25 is second and kadee66, Value Buy, and Ombud were in a dead heat for third.

Clark, for what's it worth, I usually check numbers often. I use Scottrade or BigCharts .
Today, I came up with the identical numbers as you just posted.
5:40am Tue....& I meant that post for your entire list; not just my #'s.
Good morning, everyone. Cage the bears; Let the bulls run....!!!

Thank you everyone! Whomever said that these are the "golden" years must not have had to pay the Dr. bills. But I can't complain since I'm in a lot better health than a lot of folks I know that are younger than me and many of you in our game too!
My stock picking is more dumb luck than anything else and paying attention to what if going on around me and current news.
Completely different subject....I'm wondering just how big the field down the road from me is in acres. They grew cabbage on it and have been hauling loads into the market in town for packing & shipping to parts of the eastern US. They have been hauling it for about 6 weeks now. They have slowed down some this past 2 weeks, but are still hauling a LOT every day. That field must be some where between 500-1000 acres for that much cabbage to come out of there! And if you are ever close to that kind of operation....a head of cabbage that has fallen off a trailer on it's way to the market is referred to around here as...ROAD KILL!  |

I am now at even for the week. Can we close trading early today so I can savor the break even point before we drop 300 points this afternoon?
