Going out on a huge limb...will be quite a fall if it breaks....


NUGT, long....gold

[architecto25]

Limited time tonight;

  IOVA    (long)       Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc.

I think it closed last wk. at $16.35

[Value Buy]

Tsla, short it.
Enough said!
(I see everyone went long this week!)

Wondering if I should have shorted BA or CMG this week, but TSLA, SHORT!

[ModE98]

I claim the bottom for today.  If tomorrow's earnings report is negative, it's for the week.   Unless, Clarzk will allow my horse to go short at this late hour  

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 is out of the gate first in this week's race. architecto25 is second and Value Buy third. uncle23 and clarkrl2 are also beating the benchmark.

[kadee79]

Surprise...but will it hold?  Remains to be seen.

[kadee79]

Clark, wonder if you could double check something for me, please.  MSN said that NUGT opened at 17.93 today.  I know you use yahoo, so they may be different....just curious.

[ModE98]

Sure looks like there are many changes in store today!  Dow way up!  400+ (still 35 min. to go), but appears like a very strong close today.

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 continues to lead the way at the end of day two. architecto25 is the only other player beating the benchmark. kadee74 I looked at the open for NUGT on Yahoo's historical data and they still have $17.98. I also checked Stockcharts and they had 17.98 as well.

[kadee79]

Dang, I typed something while ago...wonder where it went.


Thank you Clark for checking.  MSN is often different than other sources.  I appreciate it.

[Value Buy]

Well, that was a bad day for me with TSLA.
At least the actual portfolio was well rewarded yesterday!

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 is still leading with two days to go. ModE95 is second and architecto25 is the only other player beating the benchmark.

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 has a double digit gain going into the final day. architecto25 is a strong second with ModE95 lurking ominously in third. Those are the only players beating the benchmark.

[ModE98]

Kadee has hit "pay dirt" going for the gold

[Value Buy]

What was it I said last week about going short this week?

Regardless, I do not see Tesla as anything but a broken company

[kadee79]

Thank you Mod...but will it hold tomorrow? 

[clarkrl2]

kadee74 mined the gold medal in this week's contest. architecto25 rallied but had to settle for silver and ModE95 had a solid performance to earn the bronze. Those were the only players beating the benchmark.
