Really conflicted going with CHK again this week.
They report later in the week, and with this company it will be a crapshoot.
That said, looking at a year's length chart, it should recover this week. After all, how low can it go?
CHK, long.
There are a couple of retail stocks reporting this week, and they might show us how the last qtr retail sales were either better than thought, and might prove interesting for the market this week. Just a thought.

CHK long.

[clarkrl2]

Value Buy takes the early lead. clarkrl2 is second and the only other player beating the benchmark. There were a lot of gap ups today.

The retail stocks I referenced in post 6 were, GPS, JWN, TJX and LOW.

All report this week and I expect upside results. We will see.
Going to take a flyer on 100 shares of KHC and hold for the longterm.

I failed to check out BBY and DDS reporting this week. 
Retailers are reporting good sales or profits in the last qtr of the year.
Consumer Confidence came out the other day and was very strong.
This bodes well for the markets.
Now if we can just get NK and China to agree to some things, we will have a real nice year in the markets.

CONGRATS to Value Buy (Win) and architecto (Place) and beating BenchMark this week!

[architecto25]

I just got on here. Saw Mod's note first; What a surprise.

Now maybe I'll take some time this weekend and put on my

blindfold again; throw a dart for next week's symbol...… LOL.

Arch.

     8:30pm (Tex.time)

     Clark, please recheck your closing quote on TGLS.

     Bigcharts has it at $8.80; puts you as a Positive; and should

     kick your horse up to a better spot.

     I'll let you do the math..... have a good weekend.

[clarkrl2]

archittecto25, several sites I checked have TGLS closing at $8.80. I'll check Yahoo's historical data tomorrow and if they have $8.80 I'll change it but as of now they still are showing $8.55.

CNBC shows a closing price of $8.55, for the symbol but when I clicked on a one day chart it shows it at $8.80 at the close.
MSN Money shows it at $8.80
Not sure why the price varied........strange!

Value Buy, CONGRATULATIONS to you for your great week. That's what I've been told

is how the market should be "enjoyed".

And if I were Clark's horse, I'd be upset if I didn't get the higher number ($8.80). ……..LOL.

Arch.

[clarkrl2]

Yahoo historical data shows the close at 8.80. My broker Ally has the close at 8.80. Using contest rule #6 I am changing the close to 8.80.

Clark, excellent decision. Now the numbers on this week's race

have been documented; and now all racers will start next week's

race with clear thoughts...… even the horses.
