Crystallex (symbol: KRY) had a run this week, which prompted me to take profits on Wednesday on one quarter of my position in that stock.
Arch Coal (symbol: ACI) is now banging on all cylinders. Today it’s up 14 cents and I have a 14% gain since I bought and recommended here on The Proficient Investor.
Online retailer BlueFly (symbol: BFLY) is up 3 cents today at $1.05 and I recommended this stock at a bargain at $1.00.
Quiksilver (symbol: ZQK) is up 18 cents in intraday trading at $12.92. Analysts have written this stock off but that’s what we like here at The Proficient Investor. Though they have given lower guidance, I think their partnership with Rossignol is going to pay off later in the year and you have a bargain of a stock right now.
In other sectors, CNXT is up 3 cents at $1.48, AANI is up 2 cents at $.58, AMTD continues to climb and is up 9 cents today at $16.28 after confusing reports from several analysts covering the firm. Deutsche Bank rated AMTD started at hold while others earlier in the week set perform and outperform ratings.
Overall it’s a positive close to the week and I like the action on the floor today.
