(picks for this week copied over from the end of last week's thread)

Jordan
I'll go with HMIN again next week

MoMoney4Me
I'll take a position in MRVC long for next week. Earnings out on next Thursday. Charts looks good and guidance may prove to be conservative.

Albert0373
I'll take PACT please; maybe something might happen before Chinese New Years next weekend =]

John Law
XPRT

bwhited
This week sucked. So I'll take GDI since it will recover.
Sounds like a good buying oppurtunity to me!

[lazylazybonebone]

LVLT please

[bigzip]

ACHN

[aiki14]

FINL short, cause Jim said so. And I didn't like the comments made to the analysts during the Merrill Lynch walk through, the drift from core athletic to casual is questionable, the previous reliance on a Nike driven client base, the name Finish Line doesn't ring out casual, They've broken down through several resistance levels recently, yadda yadda.

[krazykowboy]

Agilent Technologies (A)

[eveairsky]

I'd like to pick Costco - COST - for this week as a test of the power of Barron's.

[englishman26]

HMIN is a good pick for next week. Has 10% in it, i thnk. Lvlt too.


I'll have to go with BQI then.

[Great White]

Sonic Innovations: SNCI

This had to have been an interesting day for you both. I had it in both directions, nice amplitude on the swings. Meanwhile I argue with that knucklehead for a week, and the for the first time in a year I take a Cramer pick( a short), that he trashes, and it goes up, on a down day. ouch

very nice call on that bottom sven...
you playing this for a daytrade, channel trade (~60), or longer?

[Svenwulf]

bahroor: in and out with some mad money while i was fighting in the fig leafs. only caught about 5%, but that'll do for a days work.

ALWAYS BETTER TO BE LUCKY THAN GOOD, but the idea was to game the red kite gamers after the delayed redemptions. add some positive pin action from aa, and book the gain.

[aiki14]

Man it just keeps getting worse, this has the potential to be my worst pick ever. This is worse than bobbing for lobster. Another good day trading though, I held MED through the night last night and it slid as I expected, Couldn't cover all my shares at the end today so I still have 18% in the game, bet we see 8.60 at some time tomorrow.

[Thierry Martin]

Not a great week so far...
