[Value Buy]

Zumiez
ZUMZ long this week.

I picked this horse a year ago.
I was kicked in the head by it.
Evidently I am still crazy.
ZUMZ long.

[architecto25]

Just a suggestion:  Let's just give Uncle23's horse (CPXX) his collar of roses ... and let him run
with it all week.   CPXX last I looked is already up 71%. .... Let's all have a fun week...

      But the rules are:  The opening quote is the starting price.....
      That puts a whole new light on my earlier thoughts.
      ............ UNC., I'm sorry about that.....

For Uncle......

At least, KO was good for the first 7-8 minutes, before it swooned.  This may not be a good market day, looking bad, may get worse.

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 jumps out to the early lead with a double digit gain. Value Buy is second and uncle23 third (I hope you had some real life shares). Those were the only players beating the benchmark.
