Can anyone tell me what's up with BLUE ? It was at 11 right until the close. Then all of a sudden it moved up to 11 1/2. Any thoughts ? Thanks, Chris

Great week folks, only took home a SEPR short because I didn't get as much beefcake as the other biotechs. SDLI was good for 9%, we even still held BIOI, PMTR, IMNY, INGN. We wait now for some of the best low priced stocks we chose in the last weeks to come back after a pullback like UTSI, TPTH, UAXS, ADTK, PKTR

After reading that post, I tried to figure out if you were being facetious or simply over-exuberant. In my opinion (and it is only that...an opinion) posts like that are an excellent example of how the uninitiated start to think things are very easy...then they get excited...then get sucked into paying for some "service"...etc. It's been brought up by other posters in the past, but it's never been more apparent that this thread exists to trumpet winners while the losers are forgotten.. When you put out a "watch list" of dozens and dozens of stocks, then call multiple "triggers" you are going to get some that work. And there will be many more that do NOT work. From what I hear from subscribers, the latter is totally forgotten about...never mentioned again. Any cursory glance at this thread confirms that. The TLGD example from last week is a great example....a long position that readers are urged to "not touch, it is doing great", then the next day it is the Nasdaq's largest percentage loser...after which there is not one mention of it on this thread. I am hearing that there are many, many other instances of this. I hope it is obvious to others that this thread exists to entice potential subscribers into paying for a costly service, and that this thread represents the part of that service that works out. It is truly the "tip of the iceberg." If you were at all interested in the trading success of readers of this thread who are NOT subscribers, there would be some sort of accountability. You would allow one to be able to evaluate your success BEFORE paying for some costly service, instead of culling the successes from the failures and joyfully posting only the former here for everyone to see. If you won't do that, there are others like me who will. "Gemmers, we are CHAMELEONS"...yes, indeed.
