STML, long....


Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, acquiring, developing and commercializing oncology therapeutics. The Company is developing approximately three clinical stage product candidates, including SL-401, SL-701 and SL-801. SL-401 is a targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3R) (CD123), present on a range of hematologic cancers. SL-401 consists of IL-3 recombinantly fused to a truncated diphtheria toxin payload. SL-701 is an immunotherapy designed to activate the immune system to attack tumors. SL-701 comprises various short synthetic peptides that correspond to epitopes of targets, including IL-13 receptor subunit alpha-2 (IL-13Ra2), ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EphA2) and survivin, present on brain cancer. SL-801 is an oral, small molecule that reversibly inhibits Exportin-1 (XPO1), also known as Chromosome Region Maintenance-1 (CRM-1), a nuclear transport protein.

Long CDW (CDW Corp. - Information Technology Services)

The chart looked better than that of last week's pick ISTR. Nothing I own has an impressive chart so after much indecision I decided to go with my other long term hold CDW.

        IOVA     (long)      Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc.

This stock closed Friday at $19.09

I'm throwing the horse blanket on the same horse I rode last week.

Stock made a 52 wk. high on Friday. And the big up gap that occurred

on 16 May looks as if it'll be still there for awhile.

The 5/10/15 day moving averages still pointing up; looking positive.

[clarkrl2]

It's beginning to look like I won't be able to post the opening day numbers until very, very late Monday night. I'm thinking possibly 9:00 PM Central time. 

[architecto25]

Clark, I'd be more than happy to post an "NOT-OFFICIAL" list of the opening

numbers about an hour after the official opening. And if there's any error, you

can easily correct it. Just say the word.

Arch.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 I would appreciate it if you could post the results after the close. I don't know exactly what I'll be doing at any particular time tomorrow but once again I've overcommitted myself. 

[architecto25]

O.K., Clark, I think I read you clearly.

Not too long after the close, I'll post the contest numbers for Monday's race.

Opening, Close, and the day's percentage.

[Value Buy]

I originally was going to go with Chevron this week, because they pay the dividend this week, and the stock always goes higher that week deleting my drip investment gain

But will go with RDFN, Redfin this week. They climbed Friday on a stock upgrade, and if I am not late on the stock rise, it might just carry through this week on lower mortgage rate anticipation to come in the following weeks.
RDFN, long

[ModE98]

What a start.   Luckily have four more days to recover.   Didn't do my homework well.  Oh well, somebody's has hold up the rear

[architecto25]

Here's my list of opening prices that I'll be using for the "end of race" finish percentages today.

Please let me know if you disagree with yours. We could just flip a coin to decide the correct one...LOL

QQQ 182.23/  EA 98.00 / EBAY 37.66  / STML 14.59 / CDW 105.90 / IOVA 19.29 / RDFN 18.15

We'll find out late today who has the most "horsepower"...…..

Well, my small calculator created these numbers.

And I hope and expect Clark to verify all numbers & make any

comments he wishes. There's 4 more race days.

[kadee79]

Looks like I have to bottom locked up this week!

[clarkrl2]

Due to arhitecto25's excellent performance I may have just become the Wally Pipp of stock picking contests.

Thank you architecto25. You are the best!!! 

[architecto25]

Clark, thanks for your comment, however, my crazy computer types in

double space (like it's now doing); then when I click on the button below,

it goes to single space. And I had lined up the rows before clicking; and

then the final form (as you can see) is rather crooked. Architects are not

known for crooked formats..... LOL

[Value Buy]

Monday was not a good day for a few of us. We opened at a gap type high and drifted downward the rest of the day. When I was checking yesterday afternoon, it looked like two of you opened correctly-normal opening and progressive increase on the day......
The markets are so skittish these days.

[ModE98]

Agree the markets are skittish.  Today seems to be another example.  Perhaps many fearing some near-by "correction" or even a major sell-off at these high prices.  I am beginning to believe many stocks are overvalued, yet it seems the beat goes on. 

One of these months "the worm will turn" and a series of big down days willl suddenly appear and upset the apple cart, setting up a genuine bear market of some length. 

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 leads the way and is the only player beating the benchmark. clarkrl2 is third.

[ModE98]

I get to claim the bottom rung on the ladder this week!  EA should have been shorted, that's for sure.   Will try to do better next week.

4:30 EDT........ Another troublesome day for the market prices....yo-yo effect, down/up/down.

[clarkrl2]

uncle23 had a nice gain on a difficult week to take first in this week's contest (uncle will be offering his pick for next week on an eBay auction). The benchmark was second and architecto25 third.
