Corbin Hosler offers a detailed breakdown of the Top 8 results from the Modern GP: Yokohama, and identifies several excellent opportunities for traders!

Grand Prix: Yokohama was this past weekend, attended by over 1,500 players battling for prizes and glory. Importantly, they did battle with Modern decks, which is good for Insiders. Modern is popular enough on the tournament level to drive prices and many of the cards in the set are old enough that it’s hard to track them down. They get expensive or hard to find. Ergo, it’s a good field to get action on, especially because many of the lower-tier decks still have good money rares in them that you can trade into. This week, we’ll look at the Grand Prix results and analyze them for Modern play and speculation.

For one share of Apple, you could score well over 5,000 shares of a junk medical-science company that may be on the verge of a huge patent. If your shares go up, they go UP. We look at penny stocks in Magic the same way; these are the gambits that you stock up on with hopes of big payoffs.
