Long SRI (Stoneridge Inc. - Auto Components) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. The chart for last week's pick BBRG still looked OK but I bought some shares of SRI and MIK last week so I decided between those two I wanted to go with SRI for the contest. Here's the weekly chart. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SRI&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p08042150152 |

X trended down last week, but was up in the aftermarket trading.
Think I will play it long this week.

Stock went down, then nicely up again, then down again. We shall see what the full week shall finally bring. I'm overdue for a flop.

My horse told me today that he prefers to be in the rear .... that way he can clearly watch and study the good racers techniques ..... therefore someday he just might be racing with the leaders ... LOL |

Strawberry farmers lost at least half of the plants in some areas, and blueberries on the bush were basically frozen. |
