I'd like to pick ANAD long for the week of Feb. 2
This weeks pullback presents a prime opportunity to take a position. Having traded this one numerous times over the past 2 years I've seen it bounce back repeatedly from it's pullbacks. I think you'll see a nice run until it reports earnings on Feb.14th
Closed at $8.97 today.

I'd like to pick ZANE short please. I shorted this one today at 3.01 amidst the pumpers and im finished w/ it; but may continue to fall.

EVCC - Short
what a run.... check please.

ARBA short. Looking for a retracement off a 20% gain from last week.
Amnion
FNF long please
englishman26
I haven't played this game for ages! I'd like to pick HMIN (long). More of a long term play really but has a lot of momentum at this current time so could do 10 or 15% next week.

I'll stick with FTEK for next weeks contest. They deal with pollution controls for industrial furnaces and there's always room for growth in that field.
