GRPN …..long to recover

BLNK, long....I need this to go up so I can what I have IRL!

[djAdvocate]

i still like the Uraniums, but they had a huge day Friday, and are due for a little retrenchment.

i will take BA Short. special situation play. Alaska Airlines would be another one in this same 737 blowout play. but i like BA better because it has no real support until it hits 180. and that is about 15% below where it is now.

the holiday gave me the chance to reflect, and.....

Uranium stocks are on fire in Australia today.  so, i am going to stick with the sector, but move to CA:CVV, long.

this was my biggest winner ever a few years back- my first 10-bagger (1000%).  let's see what it does in 2024.
