I have two stocks I am looking at this week. WBA, Walgreen's Boots Alliance and PLAY, Dave and Buster's WBA has pretty much disappointed the last few quarters and not sure they will not do it again this week. PLAY has been trending down, but if you ever visit one of their restaurants/entertainment centers, they seem to have a good democraphic spending lots of money. I own WBA and want a good quarterly report, so I think I will go with WBA this week. WBA, long.

Hey VB, we went to a Dave & Buster's up in Va. when my grandson graduated from high school up there. That place was fun & the food was pretty good too. We all ordered different & shared...there were 6 of us. But the noise level is out of this world.

Hey VB, we went to a Dave & Buster's up in Va. when my grandson graduated from high school up there. That place was fun & the food was pretty good too. We all ordered different & shared...there were 6 of us. But the noise level is out of this world. Yes, We visited our Grandaughter's family in Arlington Virginia at Christmas and GGS (5 yrs old) said he wanted dinner at Dave and Buster's! Packed to the door. Sort of an adult Chucky Cheese, but they seem to have been able to merge the children with the adults for a good night out, rather than a mob riot or shooting at Chucky Cheese. Fort Myers has one opening next week. They are having trouble hiring 230 people that they need to run the place. Anyway, we own almost 200 hundred shares of Kellogg's and Walgreens, and were hit with the double whammy this week. Kellogg's selling Keebler for 1.4 Million when they paid 4 million for it a few years ago, and now WBA announced another bad qtr. I am not only going to the bottom of the contest two weeks in a row, but have been hit in the pocletbook personnally this week. This on a day when the markets were on fire yesterday.

Architecto's pick is only one green this afternoon and will be moving UP. Can he beat the BenchMark though?? The QQQ is acting tough. !0 min to go.

Hey VB, looks like kadee wants your Thursday close position and help you out of the hole, provided WBA stays far enough up in the green.
Clark's VLO is making the big move toward the top, if he can beat out BenchMark.

CONGRATS to clarkrl and architecto for Place & Show this week! What a tough BenchMark to contend with again. It almost seems that QQQ would be a good pick.
