Thought about going long with AAPL this week, but not sure how they stand with the investment community right now and they have to report great numbers to go up much from here.
So.....going to go with KHC this week. It is a Value Buy type play, or at least it is for me!
They report this week and expectations are so low, they have to beat it, or else we could see the company getting broken up
Kraft Heinz, KHC long. 

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 gets the hole shot on day one. architecto25 is second and Value Buy third. kadee74 is also beating the benchmark.

Really have the last place locked up this week!   Nothing like heyying so caught in qhicksand with no wa y out.

[Value Buy]

Hold your horses ModE95
I am falling at the opening and as far as I can tell they have not reported earnings this morning......

[ModE98]

Naa, VB, DIS is still sinking.....nobody, but noooobody going to save me this week.  Kadee is the only one GREEN today at 3:00 p.m.  DIS biggest RED number.

[Value Buy]

MOD, I am currently down another 2.91%, so if they are soft on earnings tonight, I will pass you on the way down to the basement tomorrow morning!

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 has reemerged as the leader. clarkrl2 is second and the benchmark third.

I guess I made a mistake with KHC this week. I was sure they were reporting earnings yesterday, but I see they are listed for today.
As of right now I do not see a report for earnings having been released, so I asume they report after the close today.
No pop or drop can be expected for me today.

[Value Buy]

and as we reach the 3/4 mark of the final day, the winners are showing a slight gain, and losers are mostly losers

[clarkrl2]

I'll likely be a little late with the update this week and it looks close. I'll try to get it sometime before 7:00pm Central.

Okay, I am not crazy.
Yesterday they WERE LISTED TO REPORT EARNINGS and failed to do so. Now I believe they originally were to report Thursday as I thought, and moved it to Friday, or at least the site I use to find reporting dates did this.
Now there is this. I might have dodged a gigantic drop this week.

Watch the stock get shorted Monday.......
