RTIX (long) Rti Surgical Inc. This stock closed Friday at $5.85 per share. 52 wk. high/low $5.95/$2.50 Global Surgical implant company Founded August 2000 1,140 employees Headquartered in Alachua, Florida (that's about 50 miles SW of Jacksonville.) I've been watching this stock for awhile; not sure how good a pick it'll be for a week long contest. The weekly trend line has been on a nice steady rise for sometime. The 52 wk. low ($2.50) occurred on 11/4/2016, 8 months ago, and that's a nice 134% rise since then. But stocks do top out sometimes.... LOL. |

Kadee, ..... maybe we should give your horse the collar of red roses early today; then he could enjoy them over the 4th July holiday...... Just a thought... LOL Arch. |

uncle23 battles clarkrl2 for the early lead. kadee72 is third and ModE94 also has a nose in front of the benchmark. In this weeks oddly staged holiday special. The horses are led out of the paddocks into the starting gate for a quick sprint when their track positions are marked and they will return to their markers Wednesday morning to resume the contest. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close | | uncle.23 | L | VBIV | $4.34 | $4.40 | 1.38% | | clarkrl2 | L | TECD | $101.55 | $102.95 | 1.38% | | kadee72 | L | VUZI | $6.70 | $6.70 | 0.00% | | Mod E | L | ORCL | $50.05 | $49.36 | -1.38% | | BenchMark | L | QQQ | $138.25 | $136.19 | -1.49% | | architecto25 | L | RTIX | $5.90 | $5.70 | -3.39% |

Not to fast Arch, you see how it finished today. But if I'd stayed with last week's pic DNR, I'd be up about 9% for the day!  |

Risky for now, but will stick with a "long" call.
