6:50am (Tex. time) (Sun.) 8 Sept. 2019 Clark, I just got on here to briefly view some computer web sites; came over here. Saw your note #1 ( Ref. Uncle's note for IBM next 4 weeks.). That's great...... I thought that was going to be my effort. I had received an email from Uncle regarding his wish. I'll still look over your shoulder re: Uncle's IBM ( for 4 weeks.)….

Good morning. Think I will try Dave and Busters Inc, a restaurant/arcade play this week. They fell on earnings three months ago, report this week and if they beat estimates, might gain some of the loss in their stock price from the previous earnings report. PLAY, long

At 1 pm yesterday I was feeling pretty good with my pick. After the close I saw it crossing the streaming ticker of stock prices down some.......then some more, then some more. The fickle finger of fate got me I am in the basement this week!

VR - Considered staying with IFF; but, decided that URI might do better. One never knows how the new pick will do, so it's kind of a shot in the dark for a full week. Success or failure always depends on Friday close.

Well, it's been another strange day in the contest. Really things just do not make too much sense anymore. The market up, picks not very responsive except the short. Go figure. . At least, Clark's CDW ended showing life.

Well, it's been another strange day in the contest. Really things just do not make too much sense anymore. The market up, picks not very responsive except the short. Go figure. . I had checked earlier in the afternoon and just about everyone but me showed some progress. Markets are obnoxious right now. We are seeing some rotation out of great stocks into out of favor ones. WBA is an example. Traded below $50 in late August and pushed $58 a share this week, but dropped today. My oil stocks, cvx and xom have been in the dog house and this week moved forward while oi has slid for two days.
