Will continue with OPK (long) this week. Do not expect any big announcement, so probably will be just a pack member again. So be it!
I'm getting research lazy in the "late December" of my life. |

Looks like uncle has this fairly well wrapped. I think so! That would be hard to beat! Someone (not me since I was not here) Could have taken him out with LNKD short this week. Down over $60 a share on a $180 share price today. The stock market is a mess right now. No one is safe...... |

This is likely to be a very "choppy" year at best. Take care! 2:55 pm EST...........What a day, the big time traders may not want chance holding over the weekend; if so, possible selling in last hour.....we'll sse..... www.finviz.com/ Not too bad a close, a little buying in last 15 minutes. Hopefully positive sign to start next week, but who really knows....will see what develops over the weekend in this screwed up world. |

uncle.....I saw the jockey pulling up the reins at the last turn, so you may have to have a few words with him. Dirty rat, he is! Do you think "Ole" Blue may have paid him off? Nah, just a strong finisher in the stretch. Good running horse.
