The purchase price of $24.15 is only 0.5% below the 52-week high of $24.30, and the fund is trading near its yearly peak. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day win rate of 66.67% on 3 prior buys with an average 90-day return of +5.1%, though his specific trading history at EVT is mixed: 2 of 3 prior purchases at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day horizon, while his most recent EVT buy on 2024-05-17 resulted in a -3.9% 30-day loss.
