Stock Challengers, we have officially crossed the halfway point for this month’s Stock Challenge! And with numerous players tripling their returns since the start of the month, things are beginning to heat up.

Today, member ‘lindi’ narrowly overtook first place with a return of 131.72%, pushing ‘SOBARS’ (131.29% return) into second place. Meanwhile, member ‘SoloFF’ (120.33% return) maintained their position in third.

Despite picking completely different stocks, Lindi and SOBARS are in virtual deadlock with only a fraction of a percentage separating them. Will we see another head-to-head battle like we did in December 2019 between members ‘Robert Kellerman’ and ‘Micronta’? We’ll have to wait until next week to find out…

Nass Valley Gateway CFO and Director Michael Semler stated, “We are excited about the Nass Valley Gardens branded pet product line as a revenue driver for 2021 being that the majority of households we sell into are already pet-owners.
