TIGR...    LONG

[kadee79]

I'm going to stick with last week's pick...in hopes that it will keep going up.

BLNK, long

[djAdvocate]

i am looking at three MSTR, TDOC, and a penny stock that used to be called Cyberpunk, it is now called Sol Strategies.

TDOC is the most conservative of the three, so i will take that one long, if i don't get back to this thread.

The stock has been on life support but they announced a strategic change where they intend to end their 24/7 news and focus on digital and streaming platforms. weekly bars

well done, clark and KD.
no confidence in TDOC going forward.
monday is a holiday, yes?
we have an extra day?

edit: TDOC is flirting with $10.
a rising tide floats all boats, i guess?

Congrats to Clark & DJ!
