As if anything could not get worse, will stick with OPK (Long) and suffer the consequences if it gets stuck in the rut.

kadee, I'm just a few months away from 95, so have probably lost my mind. Just getting too lazy for real research. Time is taking it's toll in the "late December" of my years. I'm now a senior member of the "over the hill gang".

Long ADS (Alliance Data Systems - Tech Services) From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. I've owned some shares for a few months but the stock is currently showing up on the screen. It's not a great looking chart but it's my best idea right now. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ADS&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p92528295999

The market really cratered today; but do any of you young folks remember the Monday, 19 Oct. 1987 ? Here's what that day was like. Just looking at the numbers, won't shock you much; look at the percentages. On Fri. 16 Oct. 1987, the Dow closed at 2246.74. On the Monday, late morning, I drove into Oldee's a brokerage office in I think Sugarland, TX., between me and Houston, & asked the manager, "What's the market doing?". He said "You don't know". I replied "No, I've been on the highway". he said as he pointed to one of their customer's computers in the lobby. "Pull it up"... I pulled up several stocks. & they had not even opened yet. The Dow that day closed at 1738.41 (down 508.88 down 22.62%) .... Yes, that was a huge drop. I had a friend at that time that was a trader on the floor of the Chicago Options exchange.... he told me several stories. Some of the traders just dropped their paperwork, and walked out. You'll have a good week ..... Watch the graphs; it'll all recover one of these days. Arch.

kadee, what a nervous market....yo yo. OPK down again too. Dratted computer program trading ruining everything. Short term individual traders do q lot of losing.... The long term investor goes with the flow with no worries, wxyz is the winner in the long term.
