For tyfighet3







Clarkrl2, will you put me in for the next 4 weeks with CLR long.

[uncle23]

ELMD......long

[ModE98]

DELL (Long),  Dell Technologies.

[clarkrl2]

Long ARCB (ArcBest - Trucking)
From the earnings beat MRQ with recent upward estimate revisions screen. The elder bar is still green on the weekly chart. schrts.co/aJHUeqwP 

[kadee79]

OPK, long....no idea, but on a up trend.

[architecto25]

        EHTH      (short)       eHealth Inc.

I'll probably regret this decision big time, however, I decided to do it.

I'm shorting the stock that had such a great move last week. Sometimes

the bulls get tired, and selling after nice bumps happen often. And it's

just for a 5 day period.

EHTH closed Friday at $55.30.

[Value Buy]

I wanted to go with CHK this week, but oil and NG are down quite a bit this morning in pre-market. I thought the polar vortex hitting the states this week would drive ng high on the spot market this week......and still might see a surge............

so, will go with Anthem Inc. this week and hope for a bad opening price drop based on the futures for the markets, and then get a price surge on earnings report later this week.
ANTM, long

uncle23 breaks out of the gate first. ModE95 is second and clarkrl2 third. tyfighter3 is also beating the benchmark. architecto25 pointed out his pick was a short.

Hi guys!

I'll be heading to the hospital again tomorrow morning (if they have a bed for me) for a heart procedure.  So not sure whether or not I'll be on the rest of the week.  Ya'al take care & I'll check in when I'm home again...no matter what day it is. 
And ya'al behave while I'm gone.

Oh.........Good luck and God Bless you!
Hurry back!

Best of luck to you, kadee.  I had a quadruple procedure back in 2003, took a while before back to normal.  Get it done and have a quick full recovery.

Thank you guys....and looky, I'm not on the bottom tonight! 

Mine is to correct a dangerous Aflutter, I don't have full blown Afib...but this "could" be worse the specialist told me today.

[architecto25]

Kadee, I just now logged in here.

Be a good patient; don't argue with the medical team.

I took the bottom spot on this contest just to keep you from worrying too much.

Arch.
