Long BBRG (Bravo Brio Restuarants - Hospitality) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. WTW was overbought. Most of the stocks including BBRG seemed to be overvalued. It's hard to short a market with this much momentum. Here's the weekly chart. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BBRG&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p87453192049 |

Why didn't one of us take an obvious pick and go short on SNAP this week?
It was an obvious one......

After hours trading I was down almost 5% but looks like I am clawing my way back.
Do not know what will happen in actual trading. ULTA beat big on earnings and revenue, but talked down the first quarter numbers setting it up for a possible sell off.
Or maybe a little bump for the day.....I can only hope.

Yes, siree,...you'all a great race. CONGRATULATONS to Uncle (win), Kadee (place), & Value Buy's (show).
Uncle, my horse really wanted, I think, to see you with the collar of roses, but by the time we crossed the finish line, most of the rose petals had wilted badly & fallen off ....... LOL
And always THANKS to Clark for keeping it totally organized & fun. |

Congrats to Uncle & VB! What a week it was! As to you as well! I love how some of your picks are so far out of my coverage area and pop bigtime. Always makes me think I have to look outside my comfort zone for a few investment ideas. Still not sure if they are safe enough to take a chance on...... TY |
