Long PERY (Perry Ellis Int. - Textiles)

I bought shares of this a while back from the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions. It is no longer showing up on the screen but I still own the shares. I thought the chart of ADS, which has been my pick for the past few weeks, was too overbought. The chart of PERY does not look that great but I am making the switch. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=PERY&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p14064763022

Where do we go this week?
Looks like we open up to DOW 26,000 at the opening........Many stocks will be hitting another all time high at the opening. Will probably see a lot of gap up openings.

Will go with Bank of NY Mellon this week.
BK, long. 
I really have no idea where stocks will wind up at the end of this week. All the markets indices are crazy high right now.
Does anyone have a good short idea this week?

architecto25 is off to a good start on a difficult day. ModE94 went short and is the only other player beating the benchmark.

Congrats to Arch & Clark!  It was quite a day today...up/down/up/down & finally up a bit.

[clarkrl2]

I noticed the benchmark's third place finish from week two was not showing up on the statistics so I have corrected that. If anyone notices anything else that looks out of place let me know and I will look into that as well.

CONGRATULATIONS to kadee, architecto, and clarkrl for this week's Win, Place and Show; plus beating BenchMark!!!
