To Loretta:
Let me know where I can email you the real chart of FRT
Ben,
Don’t know how I can give you that privately, but why would there be a “real” chart?
Because I am not sure that you can visualize correctly, in the 1st reply I gave you, the pattern that made me chose FRT as a Buy.
I was asked to post a comment about why I picked Short BBI. With all the hype around Netflix, I tried to pick the company that would suffer most. Just lucky I guess.
