Long MGI (MoneyGram International - Financial) Last week I tried a new method and my pick was a complete flop. This week I'm giving it another try. There may be some resistance at about $7/sh. but if it gets past that I think it could have a good run. www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=mgi |

I sent Moon a message that I would be able to take over for ModE97 as administrator. He has done a great job making the board enjoyable. If anyone else would like to take over it would not offend me as I am still working full time.

Be sure to point out the dividends from this stock to her...also my pick last week....SPTN, another good dividend stock...and common products that most of us are quite familiar with & most of us use some of them nearly every day. What about VSTO?.... Vista Outdoor Inc is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of consumer products in the outdoor sports and recreation markets. The Company operates through two segments: Shooting Sports and Outdoor Products. The Company serves the outdoor sports and recreation markets through a diverse portfolio of nearly 40 well-recognized brands that provide consumers products, including sporting ammunition, golf rangefinders, hydration products, outdoor accessories, outdoor cooking solutions, and protective equipment for certain action sports. The Company serve a broad range of end consumers, including outdoor enthusiasts, hunters and recreational shooters, athletes, as well as law enforcement and military professionals. The Company’s products are sold through a wide variety of mass, specialty and independent retailers and distributors across North America and worldwide. The Company also sell products directly to consumers through the relevant brand's Website and third-party e-tail websites. That's the only "outdoor" type company I've had on my 'watch list' since I started my list. Not really my type of investement. |

thanks for these picks. I will pass them along, kd.

It looks like the stats page is all correctly set up for the new year but if you notice any anomalies let me know. It is usually an easy fix because I go in and find that I entered an incorrect cell value.
