Long AMCX (AMC Networks - Media) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. They reported earnings last week with a big beat on earnings but a small miss on revenues. I'll give it at least one more week. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=AMCX&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p57464434522

I am going all in this week. SNAP, long. It is near it's terrible bottom since going public, and I am hoping they threw the kitchen sink into last quarter's first public earnings report when they had a simply horrible quarter. Part of the problem is they also just got out of the lock up period for the big shots........... Still, it is a long shot. SNAP, Long.

It sure was the wrong way...but Revlon has been going down, down for awhile now and a lot depends on how the economy is doing for cosmetics to sell. When the economy is good, they don't usually sell as well as when it's going down. But like you said Mod, still 4 more days this week....who knows. And I said I was going out on a limb with it...I think my limb might break though!

Almost went with Red Robin Gourmet burgers this week. I would have shorted it, because I do not think it was worth $50 a share. Up 11% today I guess BEING DOWN 6% this week on SNAP is almost a win for me after all

Thanks clarkrl.......that was the sound of my back being crushed as a went over the head of my horse on the track, as he broke both front legs and he crushed me with his body has he landed on me. From first to worst in about a half hour It was fun while it lasted. (down over 16% in after hours trading) Tried to post earlier but the board crashed under my weight hitting the dirt track.

I've made some headway, but not nearly enough. Really, really went the wrong way this week!

Hey! I am up 5% off the low! What do I win? (Wondering if anyone would notice today if I went back and changed my original post to short it because it is a piece of you know what)
