Louetta, Looking at this chart it wouldn't seem as if you could have pocketed a nice pile of change, but the YTD numbers say otherwise. I, in real life sold off my CNC after 3 terrible days. Preserved a good portion of gains.

Looking at that chart it almost looks like a buy. It was over 100 last September. What do I know. When I sold my shares, after all, somebody was buying them.

AMBA's unstoppable.

[billyjoe]

The first half of the trading year is over. Shortly I'll be posting the play money totals for the 6 contestants. We each started with $10,000 in each of 10 different stocks. Phoenix and Six-feet-Four have kept all their picks through thick and thin. On the other hand, billy has only 4 left, Mimo, also 4. Louetta keeps 7 and Riverbabe, 8.

Apology to Riverbabe as her fine pick of AVGO was lost in the last report of leaders. AVGO is up YTD 31.99%

Report coming up shortly.

The above from May 3. RUSL is now almost down to a point where I could consider buying it again.
