Long RDN (Radian Group - Insurance)
I like the charts with both weekly and daily bars. It has a low PE and low PEG as well. I own some as a long term investment but it looks set up well for the short term as well. finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=rdn

           CPH       (long)        Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc.

This stock closed Friday at $2.02 per share. Clark, that's the symbol for the blanket

on my horse, but on BigCharts, they've automatically added a couple of symbols before.

Such as:    CA:CPH   I think that's for Canada

and then     TSE: CPH  which I think might be Toronto Stock Exchange.

My horse said: "he'll accept whatever prefixes works on your horse track."

         ( 7pm./ Mon./ Tex.time/ 16 Aug.2021)

          Clark, I didn't mean to create much difficulty.

          I hope it really wasn't. If so, I certainly won't

          "stumpel" into this confusion again.

          This looked as if it might be an interesting chart.

          Arch.

           (Noon/ Fri./Tex.time/ 20 Aug.2021)

           My horse just asked me: "who is winning this week?"

           He said: " I can't read the name on my blanket;

           I have too much wind in my eyes"...….LOL.

[clarkrl2]

kadee76 takes the early lead. The benchmark is second and clarkrl2 third. I used the Toronto exchange for architecto25's pick because their time zone matches well with the American exchanges.

There has been one good thing about this week....I got some super good buys & may get a couple more if tomorrow is as bad as the last 2 days have been.

I like it quite a bit.

architecto25 had the best run down the stretch to make this week's contest a no doubter. djAdvocate rallied for second and ModE98 is third.

congrats to arch, and if he could dignify my question with a response, I would appreciate it.

[ModE98]

CONGRATS to arch & dj for W & P this week.

[architecto25]

djA…… about your question?

I use bigcharts a lot.... click on graphs ( anywhere from only 1 day to maybe

5 years...Just remember, I'm a chartist. As I remember, it was a relatively new

chart, and the trend was "upward". It's performance really sort of surprised

me to. Those bigcharts also show trend lines. I've been fooling with the

stock market since college days. Not continuous; usually just how much

free time I have .

thanks, KD.  this is the first time I have managed to make the top 3 in at least 3 months.

been a busy and difficult year, but I hope to have a bit more time going forward.  I think Arch is talking about this site.  I use it quite a bit, too.  but it really doesn't answer my question since there are like 50,000 stocks covered at this site:
