Just a reminder, I will likely be late posting results tomorrow. If you want to post a pick before I start the new thread for next week, go ahead and use this thread.

[djAdvocate]

i would hate to lose all of that gain back on a short cover.
i might live to regret that, though.

AGI, long

i have owned this one a long time.  for years, it outperformed the market, and now it is underperforming.  let's see if it can get back to it's winning ways!
