RELATED TICKERS: OSK
Following up on Brian D. Pacampara's article, 4-Start Stocks Poised to Pop: Oshkosh Truck, I am continuing to hold my long term bull pick on OSK.

RELATED TICKERS: OSK
I turned on my computer this morning, as I do every morning. Went through my morning ritual:
* Check email
* Check RSS news feeds - saw a headline about OSK posting losses and cuting jobs - knew right away it wasn't going to be good
* Check my portfolio... WHAT!? OSK down 31%! That can't be right...
Unfortunately it was, OSK is getting "slaughtered" by the street today. I still am bullish long term on OSK, but it's going to be a painful ride for a while.
