CIFS (long) China Internet Nationwide Financial Services Inc. Picking this one again; closed Friday at $38.95 New stock on the market; sort of acting like a "pump & ". And Clark, I guess you could say, "I'm changing your contest to a 10 day contest"... LOL |

Will go with BABA one more week. They have their annual "singles sales" on November 11th, so I am thinking the markets will buy the stock this week and sell on the news.......hopefully it does not tank on Friday by traders who sell on the presumption of an excellent news story coming out Saturday or Sunday before Monday's opening next week!
BABA, long.

kadee, OPK appears like one of those "wait until next year" things. Going to take more time.  11/9/17 - Bought 4000 today for a 1-3 yr hold, expecting a decent return with patience.  |

Mod, which is why I bought some of it today in RL. Not much, but also bought a few of another one. If nothing else, I can split them between my 2 grandkids later. A way to get them started investing and watching the market...maybe! |

I've had difficulty even emailing today; need to obviously delete lots of stuff on my computer. Mod, I tried to type an email to you shortly after the market closed; I had done the same numbers as Clark gave us.... I was going to tell you that my horse (with his computer and stuff ) was going to tell you THAT YOU HAD WON... great race. Let's do it again, .... soon. |
