Spiderman in the lead, WOW got the best fill of the year, real deal in second, and in third is Blygh.
Yes as SD said which I deleted or edited by mistake IRA and SD are stopped out.

LOL working on grid table, plugin I downloaded to make things easier trying to find where to import it, have a tut for it and it looks nothing like what I'm looking at on my screen😞



STAY Persistent RD! You'll get it!

Here's the charts :

I had to take a look on a 2 min chart- for EXAS- Talk about accumulating shares at a discount! since it had been in a steady base for several weeks, this was the initial reaction to news of a merger- but the sharp recovery would seem to show that someone expects better price appreciation-
This article- published before the higher close- thought differently- www.investopedia.com/exact-sciences-stock-breaks-down-after-merger-agreement-4707067?utm_campaign=quote-yahoo&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=referral&yptr=yahoo

When you see a positive reaction like this, I would think it goes higher and breaks out from the base high. 2 cents.

[realdeal]

Realdeal surges into the lead 17.53%. in second place Spiderman 6.96% and in third SD's stopped out horse -.96%

[sd]

Your limit sell certainly looks in Play!

Sd,

What a day of volatility, thanks FED🙄. We shall see may hit the sell limit tomorrow if the selling starts to really intensify, we were due for a pullback for sometime.

Some Stops in my holdings were hit today. Expect more to follow tomorrow if we see a further push lower. Today's reaction to the Fed seems a reason to be cautious and lock in some higher stops to protect profits.

SD,

I wanted to buy puts with BYND in real life but the premiums where way up there in price. I've been watching and trading in and out a few times since 6/14 CLDR. I got back in the other day in the low 6's and sold in AH that same day at 7.30. 😏🥂

Enjoy your weekend

That was a really good short call! Big gap open CLDR Friday- but low close....I had gone back long as the market reacted positively in June to the Fed's announcement of "support"-locked in some of that move with those tightened stops - and now that the Fed has disappointed, and trade/tariffs etc the market reaction may give a more substantial pullback--5% ? opportunity to repurchase lower- Seasonally weak time for the markets- through September- so this pullback may have some legs ....May consider some defensive utilities and possibly Reits long -if they hold the uptrend- Have to look at a small exposure to short focused etfs...in the trading acct.
Edited correction- My raised stops executed and filled essentially at a wash-out- but saved me from net losses.
