🥈 Elaine Martin - Director at RICK (link)

The stock has been on a steady decline this year (down 35%) and Elaine made her 3rd largest purchase ever (and largest since early 2022).

• Overall: 178% returns with a 67% win rate (6/9 trades)

• 1-year: 265% returns with a 86% win rate (6/7 trades)

Purchase Data (this week)

• Total Amount Purchased: $21,426.7

• Purchase Price: $63.77

• Current Price: $59.76 (-6%)

Rating

• Rating: 7

• Why: The positives are that the stock is down 35% this year, it’s Elaine’s 3rd largest purchase, and her returns and win rates are stellar. However, it’s still only a $21k purchase and her two best returns (by a large margin) are from the 2020 crash (two trades with 550% and 680% one-year returns).

🥉 Samuel Shimer - Direct at HGBL (link)

Sam made his 6th purchase of HGBL and first since May of 2022.
