OFF TOPIC............

...i will not be online much ...maybe on iphone...


selling my house....moving to a better neighborhood......will be very busy...

Change to CBRL (Short).  (Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.)  Strong earnings, and summer time is travel time, so should be a upbeat time for company growth; but, recent huge breakout appears ripe for a short correction of a point or two, so a temporary short may be in order.  And, hope for the market to have a down week in general.
May get a kick in the rear on this one as it's going against the tide.....probable result of poor judgement on my part.

I've been busy too, but with yard/garden work.

So let me first congratulate Mod, VB & Ty on last weeks finishes!

I have no idea so just a wild guess....REV, long...Revlon

[architecto25]

        FMSA     (long)     Fairmount Santrol Holdings, Inc.
I'm picking this one again; because he's perhaps not exhausted from last week's
effort. I was looking thru David Coletti's site tonight for a symbol, and this chart
caught my attention again. I expect the opening number will be very important
to where I'll be Friday.
Friday's close was at $6.65.

[Value Buy]

JM Smucker, SJM, Long.
Everyone loves Smucker's Products.
It is a long shot this week based on it's price. Trading well over $100 a share, but I expect them to beat expectations, and the markets are looking for winners this quarter to throw money at.
SJM, long.


Anyone want a long, long shot this week?
Valeant Pharmacueticals.
Here is one that has been killed, and could even go worse this week. 
Or skyrocket........
They report this week.
Just do not know which way to play it.

Valeant was down around 20%

I dnk about Mod, or Ty, but I played poorly last week.
I guess I did beat you, but I think you had the wrong week that you are congratulating us on

Pick the wrong direction due to a hunch and one can end up with egg on the face.  Seldom does it work out going against the trend.
Yet, one of these days, the market will suddenly and unexpectedly turn and catch most investors by surprise.

[architecto25]

Well, I'm really copying Clark's performance of last week ....... No.1 every day ..... but the exception, Maybe
is I stay No. 1 on Friday .... only time will tell. I've been surprised and happy with FMSA's times so far.
I watched Value Buy's gains on me today.

I think you are good.
My stock did better than I expected today.
It will probably lose a percent or two tomorrow.

Uncle.23 is busting a move!
Looks like architecto25 and uncle.23 are rounding into the final turn.
Could be a close one!

[clarkrl2]

Tight race near close.  CONGRATULATIONS to architecto for the Win, and uncle and VB for Place and Show.
With a nod to kadee for closing ahead of BenchMark.
