Mon 29 Jan
Week 5 2018                                                

Post time   . . the morning line  

                                                                                   @fc = "At Friday close DFLT = default pick

Rider	Horse	Open	Latest	G/L	%	Stop		Rank
1 Tiarra	AA	53.89				53
2   Ira	KODKsht	9.20
3Spiderman	ATVI	72.50
4    SD	PSTG	19.91				18.50	24.00?
5  RealDeal	SNAPSHT	13.54
6   Blygh	IVZ	38.26				36.00
7   Market	SPY	285.93
8	QQQ	170.52

Unsure if SD set a limit "I'll go Long PSTG- a recent position- It already looks extended- I'd like to target $24.00 with a stop-loss $18.80"  - sounds like a limit.

 Thanks to Ira's honesty, SD is the actual leader

[ira85]

Wouldn't you know it. My horse jumps out to the lead, but I actually entered to ride KODK short.

So make the adjustment and I'll say good bye to the lead. -ira

Thanks for your honesty

Ira alone at the finish line -
(Sympathies to Real Deal - smart enough to go short in a big down week but makes a gain)
 

[sd]

WOW! What a way to end the week! I'll wait for IRA'S blow out win # ! But Congrats IRA!

DOW Plummets 666 pts - That sounds biblical!
It was indeed a good time to tighten stops IMO,- While Jan was the Easy money- it looks like the market is showing it's forgotten side today!

[blygh]

This was what happens historically - folks fund their Roth IRAs early in Jan to have the whole year to grow. The new money drys up. Correction - I don't know why I went long when I guessed it would be down week.  Not having a good record lately - except as a contrary indicator.   Congrats Ira -

Jan was such an exceptionally strong month- Hard to think it would reverse this easily - Let's hope the Adage as -So Goes january- will set the tone for the rest of the year-holds true!

IOVA Long, stop at 11.00

Lucky guess to go short last week on a stinker that will probably go near zero.

IOVA is a completely different story. It held up well last week. -ira

[Spiderman]

Congrats IRA,
I'll ride ADP long this week.
GO PATS !!!
Spiderman

[sd]

Tough WEEK for those of us holding Long positions.

[realdeal]

Congrats IRA! SNAP will more than likely tank on earnings.

The only stock I really like long is a 3x ETF so forget that.

I'll go with RDUS (Short)

In TB12 we trust!
