Can I have URNZ at the opne on monday or does it not Q on volume?
If not, I'll take THLD on momentum - I'll take the open although it might gap up and then I'll get a terrible entry.

Just curious.... How does CAH qualify for this contest? Is that a typo that it's @ 67.35?

[englishman26]

I think the only typo was by Tekbubble when he selected that stock!

[Svenwulf]

The under $5 thing is discouraging.. let's just keep it above $2.

[tekbubble]

Hghhmmmm. must've forgot the rules.

[reef]

I was thinking you must have posted inthe wrong thread, lol. :mrgreen:

[tekbubble]

There are so many challenges, sometimes I do get mixed up.

[NATHAN LLOYD]

I'm banging my head for not shorting EZM earlier this afternoon when I sold GG and SU.

Man...good pick englishman26 you are on fire!

[englishman26]

Sssttt!

Well three days up in a row, I'll be selling in the morning and it'll probably have a down day tomorrow. So only issue is if it goes down enough to let Chronic's pick catch up!

[englishman26]

Well I didn't sell URNZ in the end. I was waiting all day for it to start going down and it never happened. Market seemed stable so it's all good. I'l re-assess on monday but I've had a good run so I'm happy even if there's a big possibility of this going much higher.

Have a great weekend peeps!
