Stay safe Mod!  It's gone to a Cat 4 if you haven't been watching.

Kadee…..the path now forecast to stay at sea (but close) with high wind and heavy rain as it passes by,  Going to be bad for Carolinas again if it decided to land there.  Still time for another change...we'll see how it goes Tuesday.   Hurricanes make strange moves at times.

Mod, they are saying they still don't know for sure...some hurricanes do strange things...so don't breathe too easy yet.

My grandson is in N.C....been texting with him for him to get prepared, in case.  He's inland quite a ways, but you never know.

From my long term buy screen. The chart looks OK. schrts.co/XexPHTUb

If Hurricane Dorian cuts our power for a few days, will be off the net until restored.  Looks like Tuedsday when the storm nears Orlando and may be the time.  Or late Monday.  We are ready for the ride.

[clarkrl2]

ModE96 my prayers are with you. Stay safe my friend.

[ModE98]

Looks like heavy rain the next several days, and a day of heavy wind for perhaps 24 hours as Dorian passes.  We have backup power (limited to main areas and emergency light in room) from generators.  Electric line power may be out for several days (probably 2/3) as power restore trucks are ready after storm passes.  Thanks for prayers and well wishes.

Good Morning!
Hope everyone enjoyed Labor Day weekend!
Going with LULU LEMON this week.
They report later in the week, and I am not sure how the report will be, especially for quarters going forward from here, so my feelings are mixed. This has been a pretty solid stock lately.
I will go long this week.
LULU, long

Orlando came out nicely as Hurricane Dorian passed at sea, just moderate wind and rain.  No loss of power, so obviously able to stay connected.  Hurricane season still with us for two more months, so hoping no more head directly for Florida.  All is good now.

Good to hear Mod.  My friend's house over in Mims made it thru ok too.  Think her house got more than you did.

CONGRATS to Vakue Buy for a great Win

Wanna hear a funny story? My wife knows I play the game every week, but never gets involved in the picks.
My wife last week told me to play Lands End, ticker, LE 
I asked her why?
Last weekend we were watching quite a bit of the Weather channel covering the advancing hurricane.
She said all the reporters are wearing Lands End jackets with their Lands End label, and that is great promotion for Lands End.
I checked the stock symbol out and it was in low or mid $7 a share range. It was to report this week expecting ten cents a share profit.
I spent a couple of hours trying to come up with a pick Monday evening and settled on LULU, but I even admitted here, I was not sold on it as a winner. I chose it because I knew they had gotten into men's clothing line and it was reported very profitable for them and retail has been a big winner the last two weeks.
I told the wife Lands End is too closely tied in with Sears, and with as many store closings as Sears has had this year I felt their earnings and sales might be down.......
Anyway, the stock price rose slightly Tuesday and Wednesday, then Thursday before the opening they reported giant profit numbers and jumped considerably, and the stock rise also carried over on Friday.
Long story short, opened Tuesday at I believe at $7.33 a share and closed today at $11.28 a share......
Not sure if people watching the storm might have gone in and bought a few shares, based on the wardrobe choice but my wife insists this did it! 

P.S. this was a $21 stock last December......wonder if I should play it next week........probably not....

[Value Buy]

Just noticed the top four positions were all stocks over a $100 a share price point this week and all were positive for the week.

Good picks and mod, IFF had a heck of a week for you!  After ULTA cratered last week I was not sure IFF would put the pedal to the medal this week!
