What the heck is going on with Revlon this week?
I do not see any news on it, but Kadee picked another runaway winner this week.
I am surprised at the amount of volume in this stock. thought it traded at a much higher volume.
Are stock shorts getting squeezed?

[clarkrl2]

It's an old analogy....skirts go up & makeup sells, happens when the economy is going down. When skirts get longer, makeup will level off and who wants to wear makeup in 100º temperatures we've had this summer anyway. School is back in, girls are buying.
Ya have to look at some of these things from a female perspective.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 has a late week rally for this week's blue ribbon. kadee72 coasts home for second and Value Buy closed strong for third. clarkrl2 and ModE94 also finished above the benchmark.
