Long WRLD (World Acceptance Inc. - Consumer Finance) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. The chart doesn't look too appealing but I looked at over 30 stocks and didn't see any I thought would be better. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=WRLD&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p29191076761

I am way behind schedule this week, and have not done any work on a pick.
Will go with Zumiez this week. They report this week, have no clue whether it will be good or bad numbers. ZUMZ short it.

VB, I don't remember the whole article but there seems there may be a problem with how they billed some hospitals & other places (?) for tests they did. Can't remember exactly but could be major fines and maybe other monies down the tubes...pun intended.

OPK seems to be in recovery mood today, but I can find no company news. Some good news brewing? Dead cat bounce

ModE93 takes over the lead with one day to go. Value Buy is second and architecto25 is the only other player beating the benchmark. I seem to be having internet connection issues today so I didn’t double check the closing prices. I will try to make sure everything is correct at tomorrow’s close.

Clark, I'm constantly recording prices on your excellently run contest. The closing prices you show in your reply #14 are identical to what I have for today. Arch.

Well you stayed up there VB, but I almost hit the bottom, Uncle is holding me up right now! And we shall see what tomorrow brings! When I posted earlier today we were both about even for the week. Evidently I picked up a little after the jobs number was released, taking the markets on a good positive run. Not that would really help my pick........

Sorry kadee, OPK still on the upmove (for now). Quite a reverse the last two days. (Of course, I hope something really good is about to occur, but only a big surprise would send it back up into the 8's and 9's.) Just do not see any big developments on tap near term. I still hold a nice position in port, so a solid move up would be nice for me. Maybe this Fall or next year

Today, June 3, is my 94th. Nobody is late. I changed the I.D. before going to bed last night. We celebrated a day early as my relatives are flying back to Red Deer, Canada this afternoon, and two others have to get back to Melbourne, FL for a funeral. Had dinner here at Grand Palms ALF Orlando FL where I will live out whatever time may remain. So far, things are good.
