CLOSE

(stock #'s in %)

Market down 62/12/9. Came back pretty well. Volume summer Friday normal. Oil steady over $96. Still sticking in our craw is ADP job numbers yesterday v. US gov numbers today. What the hell?! And South Sudan to celebrate their independence day tomorrow. Oil at stake. US sanctions may drop soon. I give George Clooney some dam credit here. Way to go George. O, and earnings season starts next week. O yea, and last shuttle launch ever. Unless they're going to sell rides. Only 2 have crashed. Um, no survivors.

RNNM up 31. That was one hell of a 3-day jump back. Might actually be for real. MDTL up 28. I think this is just an insider trading vehicle. Suck m in, spit m out. Not pumpin and dumpin. QTMM up 17. Double-plus since May. CSGH also up 17. IAUS up 12. COMV, CSKH up 11. COMV. COMV up 11. Did I mention COMV? LEDS up 8 after the terrible Q report. Go figure.

AFPW down 22. VVIT down 16. FEWP down 15. PEIX down 6, new low. CREE down 3. UBRG ended up down only 1. Yay. Yay for me. And the quick and patient had a good buying opportunity again.

And the clouds outside are moving from east to west which means either a high up north or a low down south. Or both. While we spin on at 1k MPH while lumbering through space at ~66k MPH (if I calculated right back in geometry class). (I'm going through having to do 2 1-hour bus rides this afternoon to buy new hightops at Walmart).

Happy weekend trails, pards.
