Long XPH (Pharmaceuticals etf - Pharmaceuticals)

I don't have any good ideas this week. I'm trying to stay out of the cellar. stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=XPH&p=W&b=5&g=0&id=p30309267206

         APPS        (long)     Digital Turbine Inc.

This stock ( I've selected before ) closed Friday at $5.49.

I'm tired & exhausted from a long weekend; so rather than watch

the race from the stands, I'm going with one that's been good to me.

Clark runs a great contest, so as not to ignore the contest this week.,

I have selected a symbol.

[clarkrl2]

We have a meeting that could run a little long this afternoon. I may be later than usual with the update but I plan on doing it as soon as I can.

[clarkrl2]

clarkrl2 is out of the gate first in this weeks contest. ModE96 is a close second and the benchmark is third. I will double check the opens tomorrow on Yahoo historical.

Uncle23, what a surprise !!!!! I really thought you and I would be reversed

in our positions than we ended up today. I thought INO might be #1 all week.

And I've played around with APPS for a long time. And it being #1 ( after only

2 days is amazing. BUT THERE'S 3 MORE DAYS...……

ARCH.
