I am like Kadee this week. Need  a good short pick or a good gold stock pick!
Unfortunately, not sure what it would be.
So.......TSLA, short
Mod, JACK reports this week. Might have good numbers. Just sayin....

And kadee, I did not see a gigantic thank you for lifting you out of the basement last week.
This looks like a wild week coming up, and we are in August doldrums. Hang on!

[ModE98]

VB, I'm stuck with PLAY, too late to change.   Probably in deep kimchi.  Yuck!  

[kadee79]

Mod...eeeewwww, kimchi stinks to high heaven!  Some exploded in the produce section back when I was working there & I had to clean it up...it was in glass jars too.

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 takes the early lead. architecto25 sandwiches himself between the two shorts and Value Buy is third. uncle23 is also beating the benchmark.

[kadee79]

But things can change in a heart beat...mine was in the green a good part of the day, enough to have put me at the bottom of the pile!  So we just don't know what will happen in the next 2 days.

[architecto25]

Kadee, you are absolutely correct; We don't know what the next 2 days will bring.

However, here's the golf scores for the first 3 days. I'm not putting names on any scores, except yours.

Kadee 3

All the rest: 11, 20, 13, 13, 11, 13        ( "you are a great golfer, huh" )

Arch.

[Value Buy]

It really shows I know nothing these days..........TSLA get hit with a letter warning about safety claims on one of their models and the stock goes up.........what is up is down and vice versa........

ModE96, I checked out JACK tonight. Up over 2% on the trading session then up 8% in after hours
trading  

[ModE98]

VB, should have stayed with JACK, but that's hindsight.  (sigh)

Perhaps PLAY may "come to life" today and Friday.    

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 is in the lead for the stretch run. architecto25 is a half length back in second and the benchmark is third.

[kadee79]

And earlier today, mine was down enough that it had totally wiped out my percentage....so who knows what tomorrow will bring.  It's crazy!9+

Congrats Arch!  What a week it has been! 

[architecto25]

Yes, Kadee, …… this week really surprised me. I've been expecting some folks to

short APPS. But it didn't happen this week.

            3am (Texas time)/ Sat. 10 August 2019...…..

            Just wondering why no one's already on this contest board today...

            OH YES.... JUST REMEMBERED; NO MARKET TODAY... LOL

[ModE98]

CONGRATS to architecto & kadee for this week's Win & Place.   And what a volatile week it was!
