Long WTW (Weight Watchers - Personal Services) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. I put in a limit order on Friday which hasn't filled. Oprah Winfrey joining the board of directors over a year ago was an interesting side note or side show depending on how you look at it. It was announced a week or two ago she has lost 40 lbs. so good for her. Here is the weekly chart. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=WTW&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p30506237394 |

Arch, here is a question for your architect mind....why do they always put the handicapped toilet to the back of public restrooms when often handicapped need to walk as short a distance as possible?

Kadee, .... probably less aisle space used (more privacy). Building codes (they vary with cities/states, etc.) cover lots of rules re: toilets/ fixture counts, etc., etc. Yep, we old Architects have a few stories about such problems. I can tell you a few. (1) Las Vegas high school (2) A large performing Arts Hall. But I'm sure Clark would rather we discuss this else where .... than his contest board ...... LOL ...... Perhaps all our problems will be solved in 2017 .... LOL. |

Have a eerie feeling that OPK was a lousy pick to start a new season. Oh well, did not have time to put in a few hours of research for other selections. Do not expect any positive news to come out this week. So, looking forward to be lost in pergatory by Friday.  |

clarkrl2 gave up some ground but continues to lead going into the final day. uncle23 is second and architecto25 has a whisker in front of tyfighter3 for third.

Made the bottom. so did a bit of "bottom-fishing" in OPK at the lows today. A bit of patience should pay off by end of March. I hope the "the Ides of March do not do me as bad as Julius" (A little bit of daring-do). Coming in on a wing and a prayer. |

uncle23 wins the first contest of the year. clarkrl2 slips to second and ModE93 is the only other player beating the benchmark. I will update the statistics tonight or tomorrow but I will have to update my spreadsheet first. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | uncle.23 | L | ONVO | $3.54 | $3.72 | 5.08% | | clarkrl2 | L | WTW | $11.56 | $11.94 | 3.29% | | Mod E | L | OPK | $9.16 | $9.38 | 2.40% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $119.31 | $121.93 | 2.20% | | architecto25 | L | GLP | $19.60 | $19.75 | 0.77% | | tyfighter3 | L | OAS | $15.50 | $15.58 | 0.52% | | kadee71 | L | DNR | $3.80 | $3.81 | 0.26% | | Value Buy | L | WBA | $83.10 | $83.10 | 0.00% |

Well, that was a bit of surprise on OPK, rallied up today. I'll stick with it for next week (or weeks, if appro.)
Glad I loaded the port at the lows earlier in the week. If the stock keeps going for a few months....woo, woo! (Good thing I can take the risk). Took some profits today in AZN and HRZN. Will buy back or replace on any correction within next few months.
