Last week’s shortlist of stocks I was watching for good weekly gains was relatively short with only 79 names and I called the post “Bits of Optimism”. This week, the list contains 224 stocks and it reflects “more optimism” on my part. However, today’s open looks like it’s going to be a bit rough - especially on the energy stocks and there are a bunch in here. I cannot emphasize strongly enough that you need to do a lot of homework these days and keep a very close watch on everything in your portfolio.
