I'll take NMX for next week it will be interesting to see how it behaves...

[bahroor]

Short NMX please
I want in at 90 :lol:

[TonyM]

Short NMX please
I want in at 90 :lol:

I was willing to settle for $100, I think the century mark would be a psychological barrier.

I'll go with EFUT short again; if the company does not know why it is trading at the current level, I would expect it to return to a realistic valuation as soon as the traders are done playing with it...might not be this week, but since there is no penalty for losing, I'll risk it.:lol:

[MoMoney4Me]

I'll be sitting the next 2 weeks out.

Taking the family to Disney World for the holidays. It's an annual trip for wifey and I, but the markets been good to me this year, so I'm flying the kids and grandkids in Friday after Thanksgiving to join us for a week.
Hope you all have a great holiday next week and have much to be thankful for too.

Good luck to you all and I'll be back Dec. 4th.

:D

On Wednesday, Gen. John Abizaid, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East, testified before Congress and said that the use of military advisor teams embedded with Iraqi police forces needs to be expanded. This is very positive news for DynCorp since its largest contract with the U.S. government is for training police forces in Iraq. DynCorp is also in the running for three huge Army contracts (scheduled to be rewarded in 2007) to provide food and shelter to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I believe DynCorp has more than 30% price appreciation potential in the short term, and shares could move even higher in the longer term based on the catalysts cited.

A lot of takeover hype in steel. I'll go with X.

Reminder - a brief rationale for your pick (like the ones above) makes the contest more fun!

LMRA yet again.

Back in october they said they were doing their final test on their high data transfer nanotechnology that, in the way they made it sound in the PR, seems world changing in they way we transfer data and that ANYONE is going to have to upgrade to this technology to keep up.

they said this test was going to happen mid november and render this product fully operational and fully marketable.

It's been straight uphill since the beginning of October, and nearly past it's 52 week high... may be time for it to slide

[Jordan]

I'll try ERS, the sell off should be just about over and I think it will get back up to 11 this week for a 10% gain.

[sealatte]

REV revlon.. something is cooking in the house. based on last few days of trading and price move up..

i say .25 to .50 cent gain..

but i'll take anything postive

[Empire]

ASPV- it's late. haha.

[Svenwulf]

SIM long, please.
i am also interested in steel stock strength. i might be late to the party, but this little mexican producer had an interesting chart friday, on very good volume. exposure to emerging market, a decent balance sheet (have some difficulty with one specific division) and a lot of merger talk in the sector. this stock has had a nice move already, and future guidance is a lil different south of the border. also the merger angle imo is a bit played out- with a 3b market cap sim maybe too small?!? from my other screens wyy was interesting.

[TheChartGuru]

I'll take HDTV

The Guru has spoken

[chinaman711]
