Thursday's Stock Earnings (February 26th)

BIOC, INC.

    On Thursday my stock earnings plummeted, I purchased 5554 shares of Biocept, INC. at $4.52 per share. Shortly after the share price decreased to $3.68, I knew from previous research that BIOC was a fluctuating stock so I decided to wait it out and watch the stock price rise and fall. Friday the stock closed at $3.75, my market value for Biocept, INC. fell $4,278.58 in one day. The 20% decrease in BIOC's share price was due to an article posted in the wall street journal "Has Biocept reached an inflection point". This article affected the stock and caused the share price to plummet.

Due to the fact that it is a 3x bull share every time the whole industry decreases/increases each share of GASL decreases/increases 3x the amount of the industry.
