ca:FMC (FMC.V?) long

this is a uranium junior that has been beaten down from it's old high of 50 cents.  all of the market forces favor non-Russian uranium right now.  FMI see my metals and mining thread. 

[ModE98]

Stick with WOOF (long).

[uncle23]

EQIX.....long

[kadee79]

MULN, long....  Hoping this goes up as I have a few (very few) shares IRL!

djAvocate I found two symbols for Forum Energy Metals Corp. that will work on Yahoo. The FMC.V and FDCFF both of which seem to be showing trading data from 9:30 am to 4 pm on Yahoo data. If you want to use the FMC.V that is OK with me.

ETA: Since the US markets are closed the end date of the contest is Apr. 14. I do not know if the Canadian exchanges are closed for Good Friday or not.

Long MGPI (MGP Ingredients - Food and Beverage)
This has been a hot stock of late and I like it long term. weekly bars

[Value Buy]

Short week this week......hard to figure out a pick.

Was thinking JPM, as they report, but they also might suggest their stock/bond trading business is trending downward, so rising interest rates will not be their big story. 
Will go with Bed Bath and Beyond Inc, as they also report this week. Think they might have some message that might propel them upward in a short trading week.
Traded down almost 2% Friday and another 1% this morning, and do not know if this suggests a down week this week or not.

BBBY, long 

Thinking there are some great shorts to pick out there this week.

Congratulations to Mod E and Clarkrl2 on a good week!

Myself, I will probably go long on an energy pick next week, guarenteeing a collapse in that sector's momentum......
