Thanks. I'll ride ALGN long this week.

Very interesting results for our weekly picks versus defaults. It looks like we have a much harder time being traders than investors.

But recognizing that I could go with my default each week and do pretty well, I still try to pick a hot item each week. Apparently a slow learner. -ira

Congrats, IRA
