Here is my 2 cents worth

As I was taking a brake today I happen to see a quick clip on TV that said that there are 170 more companies offering a DIV. since the start of this year. My ? is, was this move produced by Bushes polices. MEA

Bleach should do the trick, also you need to remove all off the the mositure in the area. A dehumidfier is an oppition or you could place a few fans around the area and if possibale open windows for freash air to circulate. All talk to our sanation forman and see if there is a better way to cure your prob.

Hey MEA,

My sump pump crapped out and I took on a couple of inches of water in my basement. We have mold growing on one drywall and we can also see some on a coffee table and on some the kids' wooden train tracks.

This guy came in and said he could remove the mold for $4,000. That seems kind of high to me. I was thinking of going down there, kicking in the drywall and scrubbing with a bucket of bleach.

Any experience with this?

Good Day All

Life has been traveling at a high rate of speed for me lately. Have a list of todos that have been keeping me away. Still have a garage to shingle, and a front porch to apply sealer to be for the weather turns bad. Then there are the home projects to finish up. Front bedroom tore all the lath and plaster out and will be going back with sheetrock and a new bathroom where half of the old closet was. Yes, you guested, new windows and glass block are in the mix of this project.

Well let's start of with the Bottom Fish

ANN is up 21.27%
HPQ is up 15.80%
NUTR is up 16.83%
UTSI is down -6.37%
I sure picked the wrong one here

IIC made a post about S&P changes. Just oe note to add, HOGC is also in the mix about EVG. HOGC is purchasing all of EVG assets in the Kanas area. Has to do with there Coal Bed Meth.

Since IIC name is at hand. The word GREAT does apply, to our mini vac. Talk to a lot of people haven't seen in a while. Union members that have retired and family members that I just don't make the time to go see. Fishing sucked thou.

The only stock that I would like to Howl about today is B J. They have crossed the 100% level for me this week so I shall sell Half and send the other half out to pasture with my other 100% winners. So yes Spike the odds are low in finding a stock that will yield 100% but the rewards are a little sweeter. At this point in time we have FIVE more stocks that are above 50% and two of them are above 70% sso we will just have to wait and see if one of then get turned over to greener pastures or we eat crow for Christmas. MEA

PS BDOC is starting to move along with GIGM. HOT DAM 25% on this one this Morning

[IIC]

So how was your trip MEA???

[MEA_1956]

Just time enought to post a short update on my last week winners.

TOP DOGS

RRC ...up ..11.4%
AACE..up ....9.69%
POG ...up ....8.58%
TRGL ..up ....8.01%
AEOS.. up ....6.90%
KMI......up ....5.30%
LOW.....up ....5.40%
HD ......up ....3.97%
DLTR....up ....3.54%

BGY what was I thinking, at present I would've been up 332.23%. O WELL, win some, lose some.

I've never read CHAPTER 4 before, I shall put that on my list of reads. NOT!!! If I'm making a post that sounds like a brag, it's a brag. Ernie asighned this thread to me to do what ever I wanted to do with it. IF I FEEL LIKE BRAGING ON ONE HELL OF A WEEK, I SHALL. For I do feel that I have payed my due's in this world, and am intitled to this small space to vent. As I have stated in the past and will state in the furture, WELCOME TO THE HOWLING, place all of YOUR boastful comments here, for all to share in. ===> MEA

To Bad To Sad

As all of you well know life is short, so live it ot the fullest. There will be no post this week on the HOWLING, for I am OUT of here. GONE FISHING!!!!!! (drinking to). So, at this point in time, I AM GOING TO HOWL a little about some topices that have touched us all in this past year.

Let's start of by touching on the topic of ENERGY. I still think that the artical I read that stated OIL could very well be AT $100.00 per BARREL in three years is as close to reality as going to bed and seeing the sun rise in the morning. This is why I feel holding on to my current positions is not a risk.

KMI Closed @ $60.05 up 68.49%, also nice DIV. to make the pot sweeter.

POG Closed @ $25.08 up 33.37%, SPLIT CITY ( 4:5 4:5 2:1) NEXT?????

CWEI Closed @ $18.23 up 3.58%, Sold Half @ 100% and I'm working off there monies now.

RRC Closed @ $14.65 up 41.55%, Moving along according to plan.

TRGL Closed @ $7.87 up 37.11%, Moving along according to plan.

MILL.ob Closed @ .54 cents in @ .80 cents. They have some tys with PETD.

Bottom Fish is what I shall call these posts in the furture. Unjustifiable sell offs. Only recieved 4 entries so we will HOWL on these from time to time.

ANN up 15.92% from her Bottom
HPQ up 13.12% from her Bottom
NUTR up 15.36% from his Bottom
UTSI up 8.52% from the Bottom

Bottom Fish will run until Holloween and at that time the winner will be declared.

As long as we are typing about Bottom stocks I found some that we all have had a run into at one point in time.

TRCI is riding at 46% below where I sold it earlier this year.
TRMM is also down 32% below my sell point.
GIGM is 60% down @ this point in time.
Boy these are tempting entry points.

As I read about the misfortuns of BEL, Ernies friends are not alone, for I'm in the boat just two steps lower. Bels market cap is 97.2 mil. PESI, ( which I purchased about the same time) has a market cap of 72.9 mil. and also is in the red. At the present time I'm down 31.82% and feel as losey as the rest of you. I will report to you tho that PESI is on a small up tern at the present time and if my prayers get answered we shall be back in black in 2006.

Well That is all the time I have to share this week, for we leave in the morn. and I do need some sleep not like IIC. I do have a plan for your prob. about job interference tho IIC CLOCK IN AT 10:00 PM and work until 6:00 AM . that way you can watch the market all day. Done that for a few years. It will even turn a handsome face into an ugly one real quick. Anyway thats my excuse. ===> MEA

[MEA_1956]

And the winner by a blowout is BJ !!!!!!!!!

BJ..... up ::::21.69%

HD..... up :::14.37%

LOW... up :::10.51%

TRGL...up ::::10.45%

Just to mention a few, the rest, I prefer not to mention are in the read and that makes me sad. All tho there were some good gainers. ===> MEA

[spikefader]

MEA..great post. I actually think NUTR is one that was significantly oversold. I'm contemplating some call options now as a "bet" to finance my Vegas fund for my trip in October.

Just posted a bullish chart for NUTR in my thread, so grab those calls!

[MEA_1956]

Ok Ernie, We'll put in for NUTR. Myself I feel UTSI is another one in this bracket.

Great Day

Let's just start off from the top and see where we end up.

AACE;;; Nice day, Up $1.66 or 7.04%::::: As we drove through Colo. Springs my eyes feasted upon two Differnt AACE locations. As previously stated here on this wed site, they are every where and very accessable. The stores were located on Platte Ave. & the second AccademyAve. both with High Visibility.

AEOS;;; Nice day, Up $1.27 or 3.91%:::::: As I looked threw AEOS FLIER and see all their neat stuff it I have this thought. This thought, since my daughter has lost 26 pounds since she left for IRAQ is, Damm she is going to be the talk of the town when she slips these hip huggers on....... SOLD!!!

BJ ;;;;; Nice day, UP $1.77 or 7.57%:::::::: Were there any takers out there on this stock BJ since my last mention of it back in July. I do feel there is more to come from this Company, they are in focus and will keep a tight watch on there margens.

HD ;;;;; Nice day, UP $1.12 or 3.30%:::::::: We stopped in a HD store on vacation and purchased a new Shower Head and Extention for the Private Shower in the main Bedroom. We both just couldn't wait to try it out, so we shared the pleasure and boy was it a pleasure. ( Yesterday was LOW good day)

SYY;;;;; Nice day, Up $1.02 or 3.29%:::::::: In recent weeks this firm has suffered a sell off, BJ only said sales were flat and recieved a large hammer for being honest. I just seams to me all sales are flat at this time of year, who wants to go out and have a big supper in 90 degree weather. to me thats a no brainer. Myself I would rather meet Ernie at AC and drink GRAY GOOSE.

The IDEA crossed my mind the other day to post a port of stocks that I've been following which I call my BOTTOM HOLE stocks. These are stocks that are HAMMERED FLAT but I feel they will have a great come back IN THE SHORT TERM. I shall use ERNIE'S favorite # of 15% and we will see who will come out on top. If anyone has an enrty please don't hold back, send them to me and we will start a port and see who has a winner. This port could be called the Fishing Hole.

Well thats it for tonight and I hope to hear from you. I know someone is reading this port becuse its tally keeps going up. ===> MEA

AEOS

Some may say that the market is not the place to be and traded in their shares for cash. Others may say if you are not fully invested get the hell back on to the porch and take a few lessons from the big dogs. Myself, I try to stay fully invested, except when I'm on a mountain top in Colo. Before we left on vacation I cleaned out the house and sent a few stocks to the porch and sent a few down the road.

By By BGY hit the road. I took my profit and spent it on a train ticket and dinner, in the small town of Chama, New Mexico, to celebrate 25 years of marriage.

The next to go was TSO. Again took my profit and chashed it in on a river rafting experance. This money was also well spent, never had so much fun
in such a short time.

Also turned RDVN in although will probley pick some more of this one back up.

Loser to leave were CHS, EPIC, UTSI,
CHS & JILL, were purchased back in March, in hopes of 15%. Jill done me well in a short time but CHS nevered paned out.
EPIC, will be on my watch list and will be back in this one in the near furture.
UTSI, sold on the 26 of July and boy was that a good timming. Still think a person can make money on this one. It seams I always find myself fishing the bottom, I hopes of a turn around.

Tonights Howeling is on AEOS, glade I never sold this one, for It has been a blow out over last years earnings and even beat this qrts. EST. of Earning. Found myself entering into this stock back in Feb. @ $24.05 and it closed this week @ $32.04. This Clothing retailer has produced a profit of 33.17% during this time for me.

July sales has exceeded expection by 20.02%, which shows me that same store sales are in fine shape going into this years back to school season. Again I shall beat the drum for Internet sales, catalogs and fliers they are bosting AE sales each day.

AE has up their ant this qrt. to .47 cents a share verses last qrts. .40 cents a share, along with their 1 yr target price which has increased to $35.36, which is pleasing to me.

On Monday morning there will be some more of them dreaded reports released, so we will just have to wait and see if the street will be kind to this company.

Well time to hit the hay and my all hit their mark. ===> MEA

BJ

I've been looking into the fundamentals for B J over the weekend and am starting to like what I'm seeing. I was just woundering if anyone out there is willing to tell me what they think of there stores. Are they clean and well kept or torn and hagered looking. Do there prices compare well with Sams and Costco or am I reading this all wrong.

Any in put would sure be welcome for i'm in the dark on this one for there are no B J stores out here in the Cornpatch. My wife won't let me spend a weekend with Ernie, says that would cost to much, so I"ll never get to the east cost to check this one out.

Thanks in advance. ===> MEA
