A short week. Should be low on volume. ;). So, I'll make a play similar to the last 2 weeks, and short LOW, which reports on Monday I think. Housing and retail continue to take a drubbing.

Good luck all !

Thierry, after lask weeks numbers which were in the single digits, I was wondering if you knew what the lowest % was that ever won? Don't go through any trouble, I'll spend some time searching through the threads.

These folks are on an health investors road trip across the US right now, so they should be getting analyst exposure.
They have a ttm PE of ~28, and PEG ratio of <1.
They announce earnings at 8:00pm EST Tuesday. That may give the market time to react to an upside surprise in this short week. Their earnings have exceeded estimates for nine straight quarters.

The weekly chart looks like this:

2158

Note that this is a weekly chart - making the bar width match the WSC time frame.

Problems?

With the Premier of China expressing concern for their dollar reserves, and with almost everyone waiting for the bubble to burst in China, externals could overwhelm what, imo, are pretty good growth fundamentals.
