I always scan Steve's picks for the famous top line ALL CAPS picks
(not sure of the statistics behind those, but in my personal rolodex, they do VERY well).Didn't see any today, but I did take note of several top line double-digit bombs...including a 30-1 and 15-1.....hmmm....I will take those under advisement!!! ![]() |
