AMSC….long

[djAdvocate]

i am going to put that uranium stock on my watch list.

this week, i am taking Clover Health.  i think this stock actually looks really good as an intermediate term bet.  disclosure: i own a ton of it.  i bought it during the SPAC.  revenue is growing over 100% per year, but they still have not turned a profit.  nevertheless, i am pretty confident they WILL.  the stock was +13% on FRIDAY.

CLOV, Long
