Sticking with OPK (Long) again. Looks like it may get some traction. But this turbulent market is unpredictable, to say the least.

Long MLNX (Mellanox Technologies Inc. - Semiconductors) From the revised earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. Same pick as last two weeks. As explained last week I'm trying to find a stock with some momentum and stick with it until it loses momentum or becomes overbought. The weekly chart still looks OK but the daily chart shows weakness. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MLNX&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p53039548298

It is so hard to pick Long or Short in a volatile market environment  I try to stay positive, bullish side, but it is hard to do currently. This market gives one the creeps.  |

No, evidently a lot of folks are getting out of stocks & buying gold. Week before last it was hard for NUGT to stay in the 20's! I have increased my bottom lead considerably....no on can catch me down there now!

Turned out to be a good day for OPK. Close, nice and green. Now a nice " follow through" tomorrow would be great.  Hope February closes with a strong positive note and March will solidify a green trend. |

Hope there is not an afternoon sell-off in the last hour or so. Be nice to remain positive going into next week. Big traders often do not want to caught with a lot of shares if they feel a downturn coming, so need a reasonable close today.
