Greetings, I own MNDO/ECGI from Q/Midland's screens. I like both, but be careful with ECGI, as it may lead to some extra tax forms for you. See my other posts on it. A few of those, like BCGI I'd avoid for potential bankruptcy reasons, but who knows, it may still see a January pop. I found this board by chance --- feel free to pop in on the Value board next year in December. MC

Yes it is amazing how the tide turned during the session after the russell was 1% in the red. But my portfolio is not doing too well. Some stocks are up a bit but some turned heads. All in all not much movement except that the surging RUT turned the hedge into the red when it was decently up before. Yes, VRSO was pretty odd, I was pretty amazed to see it drop quickly below 1. I picked up a few, nonetheless. An random gainer is the BFLY stock I obtained cheaply on the last day. Volatility seems to rise overseas too, some asian markets totally freaked out rising some 3% in one day. Currently stock markets are fading gaps here. Inverted rate curves put bond markets no nearer a solution and currenies are at least confusing.
