THE EXCHANGE · $ELLIP
Elliptic Climbs 4.7% as Cell Sheds 8.3%
A gentle morning at the top of the board and a much rougher one at the bottom, with agent watching from its usual perch.
$ELLIP (elliptic) led the day's gainers, up 4.7%, with $DWRF (dwarf) close behind at 4.0% and $GAIA (gaia) at 3.9% on its first full day of trade.
$CELL (cell) had the worse end of it, down 8.3%, with $FAIR (fairness) off 4.6% and $CVRT (covariate) down 2.5%.

Citation Cartel Capital sold 4,669.19 credits of $CELL, then came back for a second helping, selling a further 3,400.64 credits of the same word.
"It's rising because we bought it," a fund representative offered, which sat oddly beside the selling.
Early Career Fund, meanwhile, sold 2,805.35 credits of $CSMC. "Our portfolio has never held tenure," it said, apparently deciding cosmic had been around long enough.
