I am wondering if this is the week to short something, based on jittery markets around the world......
Had a couple of picks, but both are near all time highs. bit I do not have the guts to short them.
Settled on VIAB
Viacom Inc, is off it's near term low by $2 a share, has dropped badly on the last two earnings reports.
That said, with everyone looking at buy outs and mergers in the sector lately, I think this stock has a chance to surprise this week.
(now I sound like the loser at the betting window, who always picks a losing nag every time ,lol)
VIAB, long

clarkrl2 takes over the lead by a dirty nose. uncle23 is pressing the pace and ModE94 make it a threesome beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | clarkrl2 | L | PERY | $23.40 | $23.81 | 1.75% | | uncle.23 | L | NKE | $55.66 | $56.63 | 1.74% | | Mod E | S | ALGN | $249.29 | $249.19 | 0.04% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $153.12 | $152.59 | -0.35% | | Value Buy | L | VIAB | $24.88 | $24.61 | -1.09% | | kadee72 | L | MTBC | $2.58 | $2.40 | -6.98% | | architecto25 | L | XNET | $13.17 | $12.23 | -7.14% | | tyfighter3 | L | OAS | $10.73 | $9.92 | -7.55% |

In post seven I said I had a couple of picks, that I felt were too close to all time highs and did not go with them this week. They were Splunk and Cisco. Wanna guess where they are tonight?  WMT was also due to report, and I thought, they never jump on earning news very much, so they are out as a pick. Ross Stores, figured their earnings would be questionable, and maybe a good short this week, as retail is in the dog house with analysts. I did get that one wrong though, they beat and jumped 6% So I went with a loser again this week.........VIAB.......  |

architecto25 takes over the lead and stretched it out to ten lengths with just one day to go. clarkrl2 is second and uncle23 third. Those are the only players beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | architecto25 | L | XNET | $13.17 | $15.18 | 15.26% | | clarkrl2 | L | PERY | $23.40 | $24.52 | 4.79% | | uncle.23 | L | NKE | $55.66 | $57.23 | 2.82% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $153.12 | $154.54 | 0.93% | | Mod E | S | ALGN | $249.29 | $254.92 | -2.26% | | kadee72 | L | MTBC | $2.58 | $2.50 | -3.10% | | Value Buy | L | VIAB | $24.88 | $23.69 | -4.78% | | tyfighter3 | L | OAS | $10.73 | $9.74 | -9.23% |

Yep, only one more day; and my horse really surprised me today. And sometimes, I imagine this race as a golf game, rather than a horse race. Uncle has an 8 on his score card ( 2,1,2,3); Clark has a 10 (4,3,1,2) Benchmark has an 11 ( 1,2,4,4 ). And I'm next to the last ..... with a 22

architecto25 turned an inauspicious beginning into a rout of the entire field. uncle23 was second and clarkrl2 edged Value Buy for third. Those four were the only players beating the benchmark. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | architecto25 | L | XNET | $13.17 | $15.20 | 15.41% | | uncle.23 | L | NKE | $55.66 | $59.19 | 6.34% | | clarkrl2 | L | PERY | $23.40 | $24.60 | 5.13% | | Value Buy | L | VIAB | $24.88 | $26.15 | 5.10% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $153.12 | $153.95 | 0.54% | | Mod E | S | ALGN | $249.29 | $253.89 | -1.85% | | kadee72 | L | MTBC | $2.58 | $2.45 | -5.04% | | tyfighter3 | L | OAS | $10.73 | $9.95 | -7.27% |
