I had a little trouble discovering information on this company;

not public just yet.

      [ & Kadee, to answer your question. I have been watching

       the graph on NETE ]

[ModE98]

BLNK now at $28.00!!   Kadee, that was a great find.  Some of us sold much too soon.  Hope you are holding some and enjoying the run.

I have sold all of mine at various times...except for 20 shares.  I have no idea why I held on to those 20.

ETA...I sold my few of KNDI too soon last week too.  Oh well, I made money on all the sales.

kadee75 leads on the opening day of this week's two stage challenge. ModE97 is second and architecto25 third. All players are beating the benchmark in what is a fairly rare occurrence.

This contest that you run is so great, Clark.

Would you do me a big favor.... How can I get rid of Microsoft. Recently they have made my

life miserable. I've used Yahoo for years. And I have many other sites that I use. Microsoft

wants complete control of my system. Tonight I had to totally turn off my computer to get

rid of them..... They froze everything on my screen. So I just cut my system totally off.

I UNPLUGGED MY COMPUTER AT THE WALL FOR SOMETIME.

I wonder if Bill Gates really knows what his computer employees are doing.

GOOD NIGHT.

[clarkrl2]

architecto25, I can't imagine what's causing your computer to freeze but I can tell you at my work place we have a lot of internet based platforms that Internet Explorer and  Microsoft Edge are not compatible with. Most of us use Google Chrome as our browser but there are other browsers you could try as well. 

[clarkrl2]

architecto25 has the lead on day two. ModE97 is second and uncle23 third. Everyone is still beating the benchmark but I can feel the hot breath of the Qs on my back.

Official!!!
Due to inconsistent data between charting sites and Yahoo I will wait until Saturday morning when Yahoo historical data updates to determine if I need to adjust the Nov. 21 Monday open for QRTEA. These are the results if there is no adjustment.
Unofficial: architecto25 is posted in first. uncle23 second and clarkrl2 third. These results are unofficial please hold your tickets.

[kadee79]

Well, if my ticket won't get me anything else...guess I'll hold it!
I still want KNDI to go lower...and it might yet.  It will be a buy/hold if it goes low enough for me.

No rush Clark.  Mine likely won't change any way!
