Ty, in case you don't go back to look...I made an attempt at explaining what I do in last weeks game thread.
And just to add to that explanation.... OPK, I can't figure out what the CEO is doing there. He has been buying for a very long time and at first was suspected of just trying to drive up the stock price....but he just keeps on and on and on. I'm sorta wondering if he wants to solely own the company ? |

kadee.....Agree, Dr. Frost's continuous buying of OPK stock is a bit confusing, He has an enormous holding. His steady insider buying is what originally attracted me to the company. There's a reason for the action, but doubt if he wants to take it private. Believe the stock has excellent potential to grow fast. Of course, not being an insider, it is just outside guess work based on news releases and filings. In an event it would be a long term holding (at least 3 to 5 yrs.) for any major payoff (IMO).

Hmmm, FEYE remains negative (in red again today). Looks as if it needs another BIG security breach to move upwards. Oh well, so it goes; knew it was "iffy" when picked, a stock that could go either way. Traders chose the lower direction.  Look out below! |

Ombud, FEYE is going to sink deeper in the red and is glued to the bottom rung. Should have played it short. Would have been a good call. Dratted chart!! Should have paid more attention that the stock was quite a bit overvalued. Win some, lose some.
