Well, Good move by the Donald to give hope to the markets that something will get worked out regarding tariff's - Might allow us to see something of a market rally further into December- Santa can leave the coal home! Nice to see that almost everything is higher from the Friday close!!!

Tiarra for the win (again) -Blygh 2nd - Ira third

[sd]

From the look of the charts, Tiarra got the perfect short entry- a price high open, low close; followed by 3 big red bars and gap down selling- with today's close very near the low!Big Gain! Congrats Tiarra!
and Blygh made steady $$$$ this week with his Long pick as well- that held up in this turmoil! 2 great picks!
Btw- note that the stodgy old utilities sector -XLU is up approx 20% from it's Feb low and up a respectable +10% from it's 2018 open! And- it also pays dividends!

Congrats Tiarra! Two wins away from that magic 10 =)

I'll go with UNG "long" and put in a sell limit at 40

Blyth I was stopped out for a -9.22% loss on Thursday.

Corrected

Next week long AU, stop at 10

Congrats again Tiarra. Wow, what a hot hand. Picking the right stocks, going the right direction, within a very short time frame. Getting all three of those right week after week is very impressive!

The S&P chart looks to me like it could very well be due for a rally. I'd hate to take a short position here and get whacked. So AU is a different beast. Not at all like the horses I've been riding this year. Hoping the change will do me good. -ira
