CTL (Short), Company is bargaining with unions and workers are due to vote. Might be strike ahead (who knows the outcome)? I'm guessing at potential trouble ahead.

STML, long...clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
We are back from vacation. Going to be a LOT of farmers along the Mississippi & all rivers/creeks draining into it from middle Ill. south, that may have trouble getting into their fields this year.
We left I-57 at Salem, Ill. to head north into Decatur on Ill. Hwy 51. There were several miles that it was "death grip on the steering wheel" as I drove through flooded areas...the water had been over the road, debris on the road, water to the very edge of the pavement and waves slapping onto the pavement....had to drive in the middle in a couple of places due to water rising. They had guys stationed at both ends watching to see if they would close it again....it had been closed earlier. This was all 'bottom' farming ground that normally doesn't get flooded nearly this bad.
Just some "think about it" info as you make choices on your investments in coming months.

MDXG (long) MiMedx Group, Inc. I'm picking this same stock as I did last week. Mainly because my "SOFT4" graph is still very positive. .... Many years ago, I studied a weekly graph (six months), and applied a 4 wk. moving average to it. Even calculated the actual angle of the line. SOFT 4 ( Strength of Trend / 4 weeks). ...... but it's not perfect all the time...... LOL
MDXG closed Friday at $14.86 per share.

Thank you Mod. So we get home & I get sick, that's the pits cause there is bookoo work to do in the yard/gardens right now. Nothing major, just running a low grade temp...probably got exposed to something during the trip being around so many strange folks.

Kadee, I know that Clark will remind us that this is a market contest site; but the week hasn't really got underway yet ... LOL
Since I grew up in West Texas; here's a short favorite joke for you:
A tourist drove up to a gas filling station to get some gas one morning in a West Texas town. The station attendant started filling his car. The tourist looked up and said: "Well, it certainly looks like maybe some rain today". The man filling his car replied: " I sure hope so; I've seen rain; but my 20 yr. old son never has" ......
LOL.........

Really rough day! I do think there is more to come, but not sure it will be tomorrow since a special counsel was named today.
