SEVERAL contestants up double-digits after the first day.

I think that's a record: 3 full trading days into the year and someone is up 40% already.

Yes, Baley, you are up 28% YTD. And you're also in third place.

Let's see, this week:

Silver is doing better than about 50% of the contestants.
Multiple stocks have made 15% moves this week alone.
One stock traded in a 70% range...today!

And once again, Baley declares "It's XON" and has a HALO of a week.
