Maybe this is a good trading vehicle..... I have been in MLNM four times at about 19 to 19 1/4 and out at about 19 3/4 this week. Two of these took only a few minutes Wednesday when it briefly hit 19 then jumped 19 3/4 to and only one took over a day. Very dependable stock with good support at 19 these days. Of course, if the market starts down it could go back to 18 or so and I could be down and holding. I still have a core holding of a few k share that I don't trade. I have done similarly with VRTX recently between 34 and 35 but today ended up with some holdings bought at 34 1/8 when it dropped to ~33 1/2 at the close. Still it may well recover tomorrow and seems to have support at 34-36. Another good drug stock these days that IS making money already is BCHE. I have day traded that too for a couple of weeks but got bought out yesterday on the stock I bought the day before during the rise after it announced some good news. Just missed getting back in today. IMHO, BCHE has a lot of promise for real earnings rather than just future promise and I may buy and hold some of this soon. I usually try to get about +1/2 to +1 on 1 k shares. It adds up but I sometimes miss sudden big jumps when I am out or get caught in a downdraft.
