Between cancer treatments (for my wife) and some serious IT issues I didn’t manage a post last week, and have a bit of a conundrum this week as the post I’d ideally like to have published today would have involved too many charts and and an likely indigestibly large quantity of numbers for a single post.

I genuinely hope some of my subscribers are benefiting from my short picks.

The latest, taking place right now, is Ford.

Easy Peasy
This week has sucked for the bears so far, but one standout among the shorts was EZCorp, which lost about a quarter of its value today (just like WWE did last week).
