Well, there’s more to life then just red and green triangles, so I just wanted to know if anything interesting happened with you guys this past weekend.
Here’s how my weekend went…
Basically, I got thoroughly whooped at soccer. My body is sore from HEAD TO TOE, especially in between. I got smashed, not just in my ego, but in my boys. We lost 4-3, but it felt like we lost 12-3. I scored a nice goal, juked out 4 players… hahahaha, suckers. Then this big dude tripped me. On the next play, I kicked his foot, on purpose, then said sorry. We were down again, about 3-1, so I decided to get aggressive. Well, that was a mistake- as I was striking in the inside, the pass was intercepted, and kicked… and the ball made contact with, um, my balls. Lol! Anyway, I was hurting too much to be mad at anyone, plus yelling at anyone in soprano would have just discredited me even more, so I just watched as the Spanish speaking players dominated the rest of the game. So yeah, we lost to the townies, but, I will be back! I’m recruiting my Italian friends and we are going to take these guys out, Godfather style. That’s where I learned how to play REAL soccer, in Italy, where my skill level is equivalent to an 80-year-old Italian lady with one leg. Soccer, I mean, “football”, is their religion.
Okay, back to the market…

This is a bear rally alright… MPEL, OSTK, CAL making huge runs. Anyone else know of any ugly stocks that are rallying? Anyone have a screen for stocks near 52-lows, that are making a bounce? If so, let me know, I wanna post about that.
Solars in play! LDK up $6 after hours… check YGE, CSIQ
and JASO.
I’m long CSIQ from $26
Did you get my ping on LDK earlier?
Dude, I got that! I’m getting long LDK over 29 for a squeeze, and JASO. Solars have been consolidating this bottom, while FSLR has been dropping. A bounce in solars will lift all solar stocks. This is a good play for the week.
CSIQ, SOLF most likely to run with LDK.
*edit: TSL, too. looks like it’s on the bottom half of a long-term channel.
I now can upload some of my content. Here’s a link to last week’s IBD100 (not this week’s list).
IBD 100, August 4th List
You are on an island surrounded by thousands of miles of water, so it’s quite possible no one ever told you.
I hope this will not come as too much of a shock:
Soccer is “ghey.”

Haha… jake, you funny… actually, soccer-shorts are gay. I’m more of a basketball guy, play about 2x a week. But lately, my friends are getting back into soccer. When you live in Hawaii, it just makes sense to play outside during the day, play music and cards at night, and head for the beach on the weekends.
I used to live in Italy, Gio. Where did you play?

Don’t laugh but what is your opinion of Q? TMS?
BlueDog… I ran with the Italians in Follonica, it’s near the sea, somewhere in Tuscany. When I go to Italy, I usually stay in Vicenza, which is about 5 miles from Venice. What part of Italy did you live in?
Locutus… Q heading above $4. Set it then forget it. We are in a bear market, but you gotta respect these bear-market-rallies! I’m getting long some retailers tomorrow as a hedge.
Gio,
I live in San Diego now, but I used to live in Bella Napoli. I had a house on the beach, vespa, you name it. LoL.

Bluedog… Scuzza mi, but you’ll see…that’s amore! I take it you speak Italian. Italy is one of my favorite countries to visit… it’s one huge museum. Have you been to Siena in Tuscany where they have the village horse races? I don’t know why, but that town was memorable for me. I also stayed in a cottage up in Chianti in the middle of a large vineyard… imagine that- drinking chianti IN Chianti. Bello! I haven’t been to Napoli yet, but that gives me a reason to go back.
Italy’s awesome. Are you guys actually Eyetalians, or were you just doing the old EM Forester routine out there?

Oh, and Gio, believe me, there are plenty of non-ghey “outdoor sports,” like surfing, for instance. Watch out for those sharks though, it seems they’ve been getting more aggressive recently.
There’s also rugby, of course, which combines the aerobic benefits of soccer with the pure unadulterated joys of pounding the shit out of someone a la “kill the man with the ball.”
It’s decidedly un-gay, and the antithesis to it’s fey little Commonwealth cousin, “futbol.”
And my gosh, the Pacific Islanders are mad for it (and quite good, as a group), so you’ve no excuse for not giving it a whirl.

Rugby?! Too much chaos. You’re right though… a lot of the Pacific Islanders like that sport. I don’t know y. I prefer football (tackle, american, u know). There’s too many homos at Kapiolani Park to play pick-up rugby. Look out for Colt Brennan, our QB that’s heading for the NFL!
And, no I am not Italian. but I love italian food, and I love to travel. And I have the Capone familia on speed dial.
btw, there are no waves right now. Picks up in about 2 months. my board is collecting dust.
It’s famiglia.
Gheys don’t like rugby, as a rule. They are soccer fans. No worries.
Colt Brennan did well on his first outing, if I recall correctly. He was not drafted til what? The Seventh round or something? But I heard he did okay, I just can’t remember for whom. Atlanta maybe?
It would be too “twee” if it were Indianapolis, of course.
For the most part, all due respect to June Jones (whose gone stateside), the “Rainbow Warriors” live up to their unfortunate San Fran Parade-like name.

… that will be one of the great oxymorons of my time.
157 passer rating off 9/10 passing… 2 tds …. in about 1 quarter of play. That’s more than pretty good. That’s stupid good! He’s really fighting for that spot, and from an investor’s point of view, he’s a hidden gem…
“Gheys don’t like rugby, as a rule.”
are you sure about yourself?
Oh yeah, Chiao! Lol.
