Gotta get the mojo working  . Will go long with TPI (Tianyin Pharma - China) for this week. Just feel this is so far undervalued at the moment, that something is going to happen soon. Need some karma to embrace this one... so rolling 'dem bones, "papa need new shoes", "7 come 11", etal.....  |

Long XRTX
I've held a position's worth of this stock for awhile (though the recent drop has reduced it to 88% of my normal position, which, of course is about the same as saying I'm down 12% on it). Today I added another full position to the existing. It is pulled by one of my best value screens and I believe the recent drop was unwarranted, so I reached right out to grab that falling knife. I might as well play it here in the contest as well.
P/E 2.97
PEG NA
Price/Revenue 0.25
Price/Cash Flow 2.48
Price/Book (MRQ) 1.09
ROA 29.82%
ROE 47.54%
Current Ratio (MRQ) 2.39
Total Debt/Equity (MRQ) 0.00
NOTE: MRQ - Most Recent Quarter
Growth Rates
1 Year 3 Year 5 Year
Revenue 84.57% 19.80% 18.71%
EPS 888.01% 67.95% 25.31%
Short Interest Information
Current Month 1.32 Mil
Previous Month 1.59 Mil
Short Interest Ratio 4.70 Day
So, let's assume this starts off even on Monday (it printed a spinning top candlestick today on lower-than-usual volume, which should indicate that selling volume is drying up, and both sides are pulling equally) -- so, say it prints even on Monday morning opening and starts up. There are almost 5 days worth of shorts that ought to cover, which gives us the full required volume for a week. Add to that momentum players seeing the light, and all hell ought to break lose. I figure close on Friday somewhere north of 17 for a weekly gain of 28% (but I'm often wrong about things like that).
Zarathustra's Roundelay:
O man, take care!
What does the deep midnight declare?
"I was asleep—
From a deep dream I woke and swear:—
The world is deep,
Deeper than day had been aware.
Deep is its woe—
Joy—deeper yet than agony:
Woe implores: Go!
But all joy wants eternity—
Wants deep, wants deep eternity."
Which I think was just Nietzsche's way of saying "I hope this stock goes up." ;-)

Short CMG. On technicals and the fact that momo high flyers without fundamentals seem to be getting hit lately.

Congrats Mod E!
I am sticking with C long this week. Yes, I believe in C. If it can get over $5 and stay, the mutual funds will pick it up and push it higher.

Long MDF (Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. - Health Care Plans)
Like many health care companies they have a lot of cash. $1.04 for a stock priced at $4.54. The p/b looks a high at 3.03 but they have good earnings and the PE is only 7.69.

I'm going with Ford (F) Long this week. Earnings report on Friday morning, 28 January, could raise the stock price quite a bit, especially since the stock was beat up a bit last week.

Fear not. Mustang is the only horse that Ford has. A mustang is essentially a quarter-horse that is born wild. As the name implies, a quarter-horse is a sprinter -- good for the first quarter mile, but can't keep its wind for longer races. We go a mile and a quarter in this race (5 days -- 5 quarters), so Rovo's mount ought to be just about exhausted. Now if you ever hear that Ford is starting to manufacture a thorough-bred or an Arabian, that will be a completely different situation.

. Will go long with TPI (Tianyin Pharma - China) for this week. Just feel this is so far undervalued at the moment, that something is going to happen soon. Need some karma to embrace this one... so rolling 'dem bones, "papa need new shoes", "7 come 11", etal..... 
No biggie, just want to keep the record straight. 
At least a move up to tie the Benchmark 
I concentrated on trying to pick a winning stock the last three weeks; rovo beat me each time. I need to go back to the basics and to the real goal of the game (beating rovo). 
rovo - you need to tell your horse NOT to follow mine; I'm deliberately going the other way. DI & 97 - you too! I know I'm cheating, but jeez, I don't want to take all of you over to the dark side. 
Besides, I don't believe that one bit.
