COW Long

i am actually bullish on the market for the next few weeks.  expect the market to rise 2%.

but i think COW might go up twice that.

[clarkrl2]

long CI (CIGNA Corp. - Healthcare Plans)
I bought some about three months ago. It seems to have at least some immunity to market selloffs. weekly bars 

[Value Buy]

After last week's terrible pick based on rising interest rates and market God's destroying me on what I thought was a lock to fall. 
So going elsewhere this week with Block Inc, ticker, SQ. Looks like it has fromed a base and moving up again, but what do I know?
SQ, long

I had picked five stocks to chose from this week and SQ seemed to be the one that I thought had a chance to climb.
Of the five, one other stock is only down 6% and change, beating this loser. The others are down more.........
