TUESDAY NIGHT TICKLER

THE PIGS DAY WAS AN INTERESTING ONE. THE SUN CONTINUED TO WARM THE SNOW AND GENERATE PUDDLES OF RUNOFF INTO THE BARN YARD TODAY. SOME OF US ANIMALS ENJOY THE MUD AND SOME DON'T. LIFE IS LIKE THAT,  THOSE WHO SEE MUD AS AN ASSET, THEY MAKE BRICKS, THOSE WHO SEE IT AS A LIABILITY OR NUISANCE, THEY MAKE RUTS. THE PIGS SURE YOU HAVE THESE PERSONALITY TYPES WHERE YOU LIVE. THE PIGS ALWAYS HAD A CAN-DO ATTITUDE, HE HOPES IT RUBS OFF ON THE PIGS PICKS. REMEMBER YOU NEED PATIENCE BY THE CART LOAD IN THIS GAME, AND RATIONAL THOUGHT PROCESSES HELP A MIGHT TOO. THE PIG TRIES TO DESIGN HIS PICKS TO BE EARLY ENOUGH IN THE GAME AND LOW ENOUGH IN COST AND OTHER FACTORS TO BE OF BENEFIT FOR ALL READERS. SOME PIG PICKS TAKE A DAY OR TWO, SOME A WEEK OR TWO, AND SOME ARE LONGER TERM HOLDS WHILE THE FRUIT RIPENS. THE NAME OF THE PIGS GAME IS PROFIT, AND HE WANTS YOU TO BENEFIT

CONDOLENCES TO THE PEOPLE OF HAITI TONIGHT AFTER THEIR DISASTEROUS QUAKE A FEW HOURS AGO.

ONWARD AND UPWARD.................FIRST LETS REVIEW SOME PAST PIG PICKS

 THE PIG PICKED V.KEX IN THE NEW YEAR PORTFOLIO. NICE RAMP UP TODAY ON SOME SIGNIFICANT NEWS. V.KEX IS WELL PROPERTIED AND WELL MANAGED COMPANY. THEY ARE NOT KNOWN FOR PROMOTING VAPOR. ITS A LONG TERM PIG PICK. THE PIG WILL HOLD HIS FOR 6 MONTHS AND THEN REVIEW IT AT THAT TIME. THE PIG FEELS A .70 TO .80 CENT LEVEL COULD BE IN STORE BY THEN.

V.AAA IS ANOTHER PIG LONG TERM PICK. IT HAS HELD WELL AT THE .30 CENT OR ABOVE LEVEL. DECENT VOLUME AND A NICE BASE FORMING FOR THE NEXT LAUNCH ON EXPECTED GOOD NEWS. THE PIG IS HOLDING THIS ONE FOR A MULTI DOLLAR PAYOFF.

TROYMET....V.TYE HAD A BIT PULLBACK TODAY, AS WE EXPECTED. IT SHOULD CONSOLIDATE NICELY AT THESE LEVELS AND THEN RAMP ON NEWS. TARGETS NEAR TERM FOR THE PIG ARE IN THE .18 TO .20 CENT RANGE. IF THE NEWS IS EXTREMELY BULLISH, A RUN TO THE .30'S IS POSSIBLE. NOT BAD FOR A .04 CENT RECOMMENDATION.

V.CUX HAD A NICE DAY AND IS STARTING A MOVE. THE PIG EXPECTS THIS ONE TO DO WELL IN THE NEAR TERM. POSSIBLY A FOUR BAGGER IN THE COMING DAYS FOR PIG READERS.

WHITEMUD, V.WMK IS STILL AWAITING ITS ANNOUNCEMENT THAT IS A "COMPANY MAKER" WE ARE TOLD. DOWN TODAY. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE BUT NOT MANY TRADERS HAVE IT, MAYBE SOME TIRED OF WAITING SO THEY OPTED OUT. MUCH THE SAME FOR ATTOCHES V.ATT, THE PIG STILL HAS SHARES AND IS STILL WAITING FOR SOME DEVELOPMENTS. EXTREMELY LOW FLOAT AND LARGE UPSIDE MEANS THE PIG WILL HOLD FOR A WHILE YET.

LETS LOOK AT SOME PIG PICKS OF THE DAY............

V.GUL HAD A BIG JUMP TODAY AND RUMOURS SWIRLING OF A NEW NORTH SEA DRILLING TARGET. THIN TRADING UNTIL TODAY. THE PIGS SCANNERS PICKED UP ON 7 OF 10 SECTORS 2 OF THOSE BEING MID TO WEAK. BUT THE MOMENTUM VECTOR WAS OFF SCALE TODAY. MAYBE ITS GOT A FEW LEGS. THE PIG MIGHT TRY FOR SOME WEDNESDAY JUST FOR FUN.

V.CRO CAME UP ON 9 OF 10 SCANS TONIGHT. STRONG ON 6 OF THOSE AND MID STRENGTH ON 2 OTHERS. BIG NEWS OUT TODAY TO BOLSTER THESE NUMBERS. THE PIG SAYS THE SHARES OUT ARE BIT ALARMING. BUT THERE MAY BE A 75% MOVE IN HERE YET. STRONG ACCUMULATION IN ADVANCE TELLS HIM SO.

V.NKA ANOTHER STRONG SCANNER FOR TONIGHT . NO IDEA WHY THE NUMBERS RATE SO HIGH, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME BASIS FOR MOMENTUM THERE. CHART SHOWS SOME ACCUMULATION THERE SO WE LIKE. THE PIG SAYS KEEP A PIGS EYE ON IT.

Kingsport man, mad at neighbor for stomping snow from feet, arrested after allegedly displaying shotgun

A Kingsport man, angry with his neighbor for making noise while stomping snow from his feet, was arrested Saturday after allegedly brandishing a shotgun and making threats.

According to an incident report from the Kingsport Police Department, John C. Shepardson, 46, was arrested Saturday at approximately 7 a.m. Officers were called to 3996 Memorial Boulevard, Apartment No. 9, by Shepardson's neighbor.
The neighbor, identified as Michael C. Pickel, 39, stated he returned to the decking area of the apartment complex after starting his vehicle. Pickel said he was stomping snow from his feet when the door to Apartment No. 12 opened, and Shepardson exited with a shotgun.
According to the police report, Shepardson allegedly pointed the shotgun at Pickel and said, "You're going to get it, your day is going to come!"
The responding officer reports he walked to Apartment No. 12, and through a sliding glass door observed a shotgun sitting inside. According to the police report, before the officer could knock Shepardson came out of his apartment.
"I explained why I was there and (Shepardson) immediately stated, 'I never stepped outside my apartment with the shotgun, I've told him not to stomp his feet.'"
The report says Shepardson took issue with the stomping because it awakened someone else who was sleeping in his apartment.
Shepardson was arrested, charged with aggravated assault and taken to the city jail.
