X marks the spot this week.
US Steel, long.
I was going with Freeport, but they are up 4% in early pre-hour trading, and I do not want to be taken out on the early trade on Monday.....
X, long.

Market looks weak to start the week. Hope this afternoon is not a omen of things to come. It's time for at least a little bull run!  |

Going to be a tough race this week. Our leaders are running fast and loose. Catch up may prove impossible.

Hope it holds up. You are at 20%, and I am always amazed how you come out at the end of the week! You are an amazing stock picker.  On the other hand, I had no idea a tariff notice would come out this week, and got lucky. So far. Two days to go........ China and India could file a stay order and I could drop 20% tomorrow....... |

After reading this post today, I want to apologize to everyone for stating it the way I did. I was not insinuating I had the game won when I posted this. I would hope I would never be that arrogant. I was happy because I recently bought 200 shares of it, and I finally picked a winner for myself in real life, even though I expected it to take a year or longer to make the correction I expected. Sorry about that. All of you are great stock pickers with different styles, and I have learned a lot about stocks from all of you! TY |

I "believe" we are in a little bull phase in the market. Expect some resistance about 17130 Dow. A good breakthrough of that number would be a nice move for bulls. (Just wanted to test my reading of DOW chart.... so it's "see how it goes" for me.) Hope the bull run lasts a few weeks.
