ONVO....long

note to Clark....i'll be riding this stock for the next 4 weeks..

[ModE98]

Long AEO (American Eagle Outfitters - Specialty Retail)

From the revised earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. Last week's pick BCOR was overbought on the daily and weekly chart. AEO may be at a resistance level but investors seem to still favor these established dividend paying stocks. Finviz has the mean analyst target at around 17.60 which would be a little under 15 PE using the current year estimates. Every other stock I looked at that I liked seemed to be more of a boom or bust type pick.

EPD long

[kadee79]

Haven't looked at anything, have no clue.

How about a super duper long shot....DUST, long....gold

[ModE98]

Happy Fourth of July to all!  We have another day off and the markets open Tuesday. Enjoy the day.

I should short X this week after the move last week, but I will go with Walgreens Boots Alliance this week.
WBA, long.

[ModE98]

What an unpleasant market day!  Yuk!  Red ink splattered everywhere.  Wish I had sold a few Friday (but that's hindsight).  Oh well, hope this sell down is short lived.

Well, the market closes in about 40 minutes & the bulls are "stampeding". I just looked at the 
point and figure chart for the Dow. ..... comment is: "triple top breakout on 7/8/16".
Wonder if they are going to change that thought in the next hour .........

   Also a good indicator for today ( ref: Bigcharts )
           NYSE    advances      2711
                      declines         370
           and the bigee:
                      52 wk. highs       324
                                 lows           9
