(deleted sentence)
I will see you on that call,  and raise with CHK

Looks like oil is on a roll and if it does not collapse this week, both choices should duke it out evenly this week.
Not, that either will be the winner

Anyone catch WMT earnings this morning?
The December retail report last week has to be way way off from the real number. Markets might be in for a huge upswing if the revised number is anywhere near a plus 4% from a negative number
(even Under Armour said sales were great)

Ok guys...if there is a stock you want to short IRL....just give me the symbol & I'll pick it for the contest...guarantee it will go down, WAY down!

[Value Buy]

Well my pick is down today, but not WAY DOWN!
Evidently I should look at the list for most shorted stocks on the exchanges before picking one

[Value Buy]

Looks like we have two leaders on the move today!

[clarkrl2]

ModE95 has a short lead with one day to go. uncle23 is pressing the pace and the only other player beating the benchmark.
