ok, i am breaking my rule.  there are no good commodities this week.

i am taking AXXA long.

special situation: this stock is worth about 30 cents, by my reckoning.

edit: i changed from UUP last night.  UUP is +.7% on opening, AXXA is -5%.
i think i should stick with my commodities strategy.

lovely spot, clark.
we finally got some movement today.
YAAAY!!!

[kadee79]

Just a word of advice Clark...pick a brown fly.  Years ago, did some fly fishing in Mo. at Bennet Springs...I caught the most & the biggest & I always chose the brown flies.  My first hubby didn't like to admit that I beat him every time while we were there.
