At the moment … I don't think I'll enter a horse for this week's contest

I've been totally distracted the last 3 days because of some personal events.

Not bad distractions ….. but fun and interesting.

Arch.

               Noon. (Fri.) 11 Oct. 2019 Texas time

               I've been in the grandstands (watching the races) most of

               the week. All you guys are doing great.

               About 15 minutes ago: 

                    NYSE  advances  2345

                             declines      581

                               (source: BigCharts)

               I think the bulls are out-running the bears.

               But the day's not over...… huh?

Delta Airlines, ticker symbol DAL
Really not sure which way to go this week, could go either way.
Will go long on DAL.

The way the markets are acting lately, maybe it is time to start shorting things here on a regular basis....

kadee74 is out of the gate first in this week's contest. The benchmark is second and ModE96 third.

DPZ was down about 5% in the morning, DAL, was up about 1 1/4% too. I hate these markets!
The last half hour of trading was really bad........except for DPZ

[ModE98]

Now DOWN is today's DPZ direction......so have to fully agree with kadee, "what a difference a day makes"
Pickin' the good ones for a week is tough.  Never know what's going to occur day-to-day.  

[clarkrl2]

ModE96 still leads after day three. Value Buy picked up some ground in second and the benchmark is third.

Crazy markets.  Up/down and all around these days, very volatile.  WILD and FUZZY

[clarkrl2]

ModE96 is sailing along with one day to go. The benchmark is second and kadee74 leads the rest of the pack in a contentious battle for third.

Wow, I hadn't checked late today...had no idea mine had come up that far late.

Yes Mod, this market is super duper crazy.  They should quit listening to DT & what he does or doesn't do...

[architecto25]

Kadee, ….. I just now added an addendum to my post  #5.

                   you might ck. if my spelling is correct...….. LOL

           

[ModE98]

Kadee. looks like that nasty BenchMark is not going to let you move up and uncle is making a move.  The final half-hour moves will tell the tale.

[ModE98]

Kadee...............arch is "right on", no sweat.  Think you will keep Show....but, Clark's final numbers will be the rule.

[clarkrl2]

ModE96 wins this week's trophy. kadee74 rallies for second and the benchmark hangs on to third.
