In response, short sellers have more than doubled their bets against DUST in 2017. Short interest is up 150% since the start of the year, and — at 5.41 million shares — is hovering just a chip-shot away from September’s record high levels. However, the shorts show no signs of backing down just yet, judging by the 10% increases in short interest during each of the past two reporting periods.
So with DUST looking due for a high-volatility directional breakout from its recent slumber, we’d stack the odds in favor of a downside breakout — with the caveat that high short interest could contribute to a breakout rally, in the event of a positive catalyst for DUST (or a negative catalyst for gold miners, if you’d rather). In any case, now is a cheap time to load up on short-term DUST options, based on Friday’s 30-day at-the-money implied volatility of 62.9%, in the 5th annual percentile. But if you do decide to speculate on DUST’s next big move, aim to limit your time frame to hours or days — not weeks or months.
Be thankful it was only a keyboard. My moment came with a bottle of orange juice that I forgot I had loosened the cap on… and set on the desk next to my laptop. When I picked it up to give it a shake, I shook it right into the keyboard on the laptop.
Psychedelic stripes on the screen were rapidly followed by the black death. I took the laptop apart, but the soaking and damage were too much.
NOTHING liquid sets on the desk near the laptop now.
In fact I think it applies to all of life. Every decision that is made has an influence on something else, either positive or negative. That’s up to the one or thing making the decision. IMO all we can individually do is try to make decisions based on what we feel will do the most good for the most of life…..and that is not always an easy road to follow. It is said “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions”, and each of us knows whether our good intentions are for the greater good or only for us.

Re to which he replied as he picked up the next sand dollar and threw it back in, “well it makes a difference to THIS one”.
That goes for a lot of things.
Activist for veterans, abused abandoned animals ” which Facebook helps get the word out saved not all but as many as they can” vaccine injury that their not alone, and much more.
yes you are correct blockchain would have been the correct term.
Riot Blockchain Inc
.
is a first mover as a
NASDAQ listed pure play focused on blockchain
technology.
Riot Blockchain intends to gain exposure to the
blockchain ecosystem through targeted investments in
the sector, with a primary focus on the Bitcoin and
Ethereum blockchains.
Formerly known as Venaxis Inc., Bioptix bought out BiOptix Diagnostics Inc. in 2016, which wasn’t the best move, according to chief executive Michael Beeghley, who said the company wasn’t in a big enough market and noted its significant cash burn.
“When I got on the board, they had made an acquisition that we decided as a board did not make sense, so we closed that down and then decided to change our focus,” he said in a phone interview. “We looked at the sector and said, ‘How can we participate in this, and how can our shareholders participate in this very exciting industry that’s like the beginning of the Internet?'”
Its first move under the new moniker is an investment in Coinsquare Ltd., a Canadian exchange for trading digital tokens such as bitcoin. Riot is paying a few million dollars for about a 12-per-cent interest in Coinsquare, and has warrants to increase its stake to 20 per cent, Mr. Beeghley said. Next, the CEO is looking to buy companies focused on bitcoin mining, blockchain and security software. He plans to fund the deals with a combination of cash on hand and stock.
“We’ve had a lot of success taking companies where we have closed down operations and identifying new sectors to invest,” said Mr. Beeghley, who became CEO of Bioptix in April. “The most recent is [Polarityte] – ticker symbol COOL – which we took public in March.”
Bioptix has already shuttered operations, and is selling its remaining patents and intellectual property to a private company in the diagnostics industry. It will receive an upfront payment as well as a royalty stream that will likely be as much as about $2.5-million, Mr. Beeghley said. Bioptix plans to change its ticker symbol to RIOT. Both the name and symbol change are subject to Nasdaq approval.
Others say geopolitical tensions and uncertainty around the world will keep a bid under gold prices. In a recent report, analysts at Citigroup said they are bullish on gold as they see safe-haven demand pushing prices above $1,400 an ounce ” “for sustained periods through 2020.
Â
“Event-driven bids for gold seem to be occurring more frequently and may be the new normal,” the analysts said. “In short, even as the rates and forex channel dominate the outlook for gold pricing, the yellow metal is increasingly being used by investors as a policy and tail risk hedge.”
Citi said gold prices are on track to hit $1,270 per ounce by the end of 2018 and then climb to around $1,370 in 2019.
Potential economic crisis, elections, military actions are some of the key global events that could prompt gold’s safe-haven allure among investors, the bank said
Sounds quite a bit like Bre X. Salting the samples is a pretty bad sin, I think. Good thing China is on the list of places I don’t invest. Don’t really trust the numbers coming from there or their gov. That’s probably why I don’t remember it.
Are you talking about RIOT? This RIOT that has nothing to do with bitcoin? Are we in a place now where anything associated with blockchain is perceived as Bitcoin????
Good on ya but a very dangerous game, although I can’t be critical, I keep holding garbage AKA – anything pm related

Regardless of what your principles are, NEVER violate or compromise them……and believe me, we each and all know if/when we DO compromise them. Do it often enough and pretty soon one has no more principles and no more conscience. Not how I want to live my remaining days, months, or years. Do Unto Others……
“I can’t control what others do but I can control what I do. And maybe in some small way I can influence others by making them see “it’s the principle of the thing” and we all do make a difference.”
Comment:
The above describes me. I love the USA and I will NEVER buy an imported car. I despise them. They took lots of work away from fellow Americans and lowered living standards.
If I’m in traffic and an imported car tries to get in front of me, it won’t happen. If an American car tries, like a Ford or Chevy, I hold the brake, and wave them in.
Two more women have accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of groping them during photo opportunities.
HuffPost reported Wednesday night that the two women, who remained anonymous, claimed the Minnesota senator touched them inappropriately during campaign events for his 2008 U.S. Senate run.
“My story is eerily similar to Lindsay Menz’s story,” the first woman said, referring to the woman who claimed last week that Franken grabbed her rear at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. “He grabbed my buttocks during a photo op.”
The first woman added that she had been motivated to share her story because she feels Franken is a “serial groper.”

For me it’s always been the principle of the thing rather than just about making money. I’ve been “counseling” a friend I’ve never met who has PTSD and is having difficulty coping with what other people are doing or saying that is causing her much distress. What I am suggesting to her is that she cannot control what others are doing or saying. All she can do is control what SHE is doing or saying. Others have to take responsibility for what they do or say but it is not within our power to change what someone else is saying or doing.
So that is why I say be right and sit tight. Maybe it will give others a glimpse at themselves and they will see that what they are doing not only affects them but it also affects many others too.
I read a story once about a guy walking down the beach which was littered with living sand dollars from a recent storm. He was picking them up and throwing them back into the ocean. He came to another guy who asked what he was doing. He said “throwing them back into the ocean”. The guy said “there are millions of them, you can’t possibly make a difference”, to which he replied as he picked up the next sand dollar and threw it back in, “well it makes a difference to THIS one”.
That’s how I have always viewed life. I can’t control what others do but I can control what I do. And maybe in some small way I can influence others by making them see “it’s the principle of the thing” and we all do make a difference.
