    I did in late Aug. Hoping it doesn't fall below the gap support. Thought CVS would base and go up but today's action surprised me. Still have a small gain though.

    I knew about it but my heart still did the same thing when robinhood screw up its calculation for afterhours loss.

    I sold mine today. Will get back in to dust or nugt based on tomorrow's action after Yellen's speech

    Maybe it's a conspiracy. Institutions have the media in their back pocket. So the media beats their drums about "what might happen?!", stirring up fear. Getting people to sell everything "right at all time highs". Then the media continues the fear-mongering: if you didn't sell at all time highs you still have time to get out! All the while, the institutions are taking advantage of the sale caused by their media.

    Regardless of a conspiracy or not, we'll try to make some money.

    just a quick heads up in here for anyone interested, we're planning to start up a brand spanking new contest here at Stockaholics pretty soon ... it's a daily stock picking challenge ... in fact we're test running it as early as today ... if any of you are interested to participate in our trial run-
    ^^ hit up that link ... we'll be accepting picks up until the cash market open today ... fwiw -- a rationale is required to be posted in order to be listed up on the spreadsheet! sorry for the short notice and all ... but we'll be creating a new thread for one or two days next week as well

    so gold popped even though her marks were a bit hawkish, that is interesting. and the dollar reversed and went positive, what does this all mean?
