Interesting that this is flying today.  SwingtradeBot's Superconductivity Stocks page was the most visited page yesterday BY FAR due to Google searches from people.  I did a little investigation yesterday and saw the news of the physicists' new superconductivity discovery & thought "meh, must not mean much for the stocks since they're not moving".  Then this morning AMSC was up 100% at one point in pre-market trading on the same news -- crazy!

I shorted this right at the open today and have already moved my stop to break-even 10 minutes later.  Let's see how much of yesterday's gap it can close.

Just covered for a quick 24% gain 🎉. I’ll look to re-short over the next few days if it bounces

Thanks.  That was the easiest (quickest) money I've made in quite a while.  If only they were all so easy!

Good feeling though once in a while Mike!  Keep scouting for the next one.  I'm having one today with AAOI.
