From uncle23

Clark...and friends

[ModE98]

POT (Short).  PotashCorp.  Earnings disappointment.

[Value Buy]

Chesapeake Energy Corp, CHK, long SCRATCH THIS!


Going to change my pick and go with the herd this week.
Alibaba Limited Holdings reports this week.
I see it mimicking Amazon onward and upward. It is up 100% this year and might be a stretch, but after last week's numbers of the cloud group, there is no limit.
BABA, long.

[clarkrl2]

Long PERY (Perry Ellis - Textiles)

From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. The elder bar on the weekly chart is still blue.

[tyfighter3]

CLR long

[kadee79]

REV, long....Revlon

[Value Buy]

kadee72, I looked at REV earlier today, and could not decide whether to play it this week, because I could not tell if it would break out, or go down.......I am thinking of changing my pick, but having trouble finding the correct steed.
Good luck!

       CIFS      (long)     China Internet Nationwide Financial Sevices

This stock closed at $40.14 on Friday.

Beijing; began trading on Nasdaq Aug. 2017

52 wk. low/high    $10.81/ $41.8785 

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 jumps out to the early lead. Value Buy is a half-length back and tyfighter3 makes it three wide going into the clubhouse turn. Those are the only players beating the benchmark.

VB, looks like your pic was better than mine, at least on day 1.

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy had changed his pick from CHK to BABA so I have revised the day one standings and ModE94 leads with tyfighter3 second and Value Buy third.

[clarkrl2]

tyfighter3 if you are confused by the change in ticker symbol for Value Buy, he changed his pick about an hour before the open yesterday morning. I had already fill in the spread sheet earlier and did not notice the change until it was pointed out after I had posted the results. There is a time stamp on Value Buy's edit that clearly shows it was made before the market open.

[tyfighter3]

I was confused about Mod in first place. LOL as your post # 11 said. I'm sure Arch was. LOL

[clarkrl2]

It was a long night on Sunday and another long night on Monday. Apologies to day one leader architecto25.

[Value Buy]

clarkrl2

I would also like to say what a wonderful job you do here for us on the race. We know it takes a heck of a lot of work to do it, and you do not need me making it harder on you !

[architecto25]

Clark, you never need to apologize to me .... what I mostly would like to keep saying is sort of like

this .... " Thanks for all your effort .... we all certainly appreciate it" .......Arch.

[clarkrl2]

tyfighter3 is the new leader with two days to go. Value Buy is second and the only other player beating the benchmark.

[Value Buy]

LOL, Looks like most of us are heading in the wrong direction as of right now. Mod does show a slight gain on his short!
My pick had a beat on revenue of 61% , and a beat on Earnings per share, but turned south on net profit falling from 62% to horrors, 57%, even though net income doubled over the quarter.....
Thankfully I did avoid the debacle of Chesapeake this week, so I am happy anyway.

[kadee79]

Mine went to the basement early today, but made a fair come back, just not enough for the race though....still a loss on the day.

[clarkrl2]

tyfighter3 romps home with this week's trophy. Value Buy is second and the only other player beating the benchmark.
