Yield10 Bioscience Inc (YTEN) was the stock du jour, more specifically the hard-to-borrow (HTB) du jour, doing 140,000 trades and $241MM in volume … the bookie didn’t have borrow at first but I got some eventually at 8.73 cents per share ($873 per 10,000). They waited till right at the close to break it and I was there and caught it, but foolishly covered into the closing bell only to watch it fall to $6.68 low after hours (ugh).

AYTU also active with 185,000 trades and IB had some shares so I played that one there. INO did over 300,000 trades and I played it terribly, again with an IB borrow … had a wonderful entry at the open, but got faked out (inexplicably) and got pissed off and my re-entry was bottom tick, but thankfully they took it all the way down to $13 so it wasn’t a total disaster for me (14.55 to 13.30 ave all out).

I also got a good play on NAKD (114 to 83.9 ave all out), borrow was 4.17. Lastly I played AVDL, 12.59 to 11.78, but I screwed up my sizing and made about a third of what I should have there, borrow was 3.69. The usual day of mistakes and missed opportunities, but I’m new at this game, you know, only been trading 25 years now.
