Watching the GME situation with great amusement. I have a few shares so if it spikes great but if not I'm not out anything. It finally gave me the impetus to fix my portfolio though.

There's some weird stuff going on with the trading. Why are all the trades exact multiples of 100 within seconds of each other?

I am guessing today is make or break for reddit with GME. It either pushes the roof or it crashes down to sub $50.

It's totally crashing. They act like they own all the stock when in reality most of it is owned by institutions. There is literally no reason why Blackrock can't unload way more shares than all of WSB simultaneously killing and pocketing any rally.

Why are you guys all gambling on FDA approval? There are like a thousand things that could go wrong with Phase 3...

I'm a neurologist, not a gastroenterologist, but I got in for a few reasons. They're going for 510(k) since they're already CE approved in Europe. Should go through pretty quickly since it's non-invasive. The phase III trial is probably a red herring. Unless I'm missing something there's only one Endra trial on clinicaltrials.gov which is a feasibility study lasting through 2022. Based on what I read this morning the technology does work and their IP/patents will end up worth a lot more than the specific device itself. There's a lot of interest in bedside imaging for a variety of specialties. Neurology is starting to get in on ultrasound for diagnosis and prognosis of neuromuscular disorders and there's new research in ultrasound monitoring of intracranial pressure in ICU patients.

Goddamit, I'm buying 50 shares of NDRA in the morning, aren't I? I can't tell when the thread is memeing or serious anymore lol

Ah well. Guess I can use some of the Aphria call I sold today for a hefty markup.

I looked up their studies and their pilot device had an R2 of 0.61 when compared to MRI. This is better than conventional ultrasound and pretty good for a first round. Haven't been able to find any follow up studies though.

So I read about NDRA and I'm going to buy - but what type of increase are we looking at when it does get FDA approval? What have similar types of things shown?

Current price target is $5-6 this year. However, as a physician I think it's going to get much higher over several years if they're able to license their tech for other diseases. They will probably get bought out.

They have a noninvasive liver imaging procedure for treating cirrhosis under review by the FDA, which is due to finish soon. Since their partner in the trial has a very high success rate, and there are a lot of heavy drinkers in the US, we are confident that this will make NDRAs number go up.

Very high success rate = 100% FDA approval for over 100 products since the 90s.

The GameStop situation was a bit unique though, in that people didn't invest in it because of nostalgia or w/e, they did it because they knew hedge funds had shorted the stock and got the idea that if they pumped the stock the hedge funds would have to pay through their nose, thereby "shooting the stock to the moon"

TBF GME did in fact shoot from $8 to $453.

I’m currently making more than my day job swing trading but

a) market conditions blah blah disclaimer
b) I’m happy taking profits with small swings of 3-5% because I’m working with decently large position sizes
c) I wouldn’t be as comfortable doing this without being very secure with my day job

This. I make about $1000/week just by screening penny stocks on volume, buying the dip just after 10 AM, and selling the 1045 bounce.

I understand the words in this sentence but I don't understand the strategy here. Screening for what?

Not gonna start doing this just curious what you mean.

My basic screener is Price < 5, Volume > 1 M, Relative Volume > 3, Price 20% > 20 Day SMA, Price(Now) > Open or Change > 2%. You can do this for free on FinViz but I pay for premium Stockrover to have some more technical information and faster ticker updates. Sort by volume descending and the top 2-5 hits will generally be what people are flocking into for that morning. I'll buy 500-1000 shares depending on news for a stock and initial price. This screener has picked up EYES, OCGN, and XTNT in their initial runs and made me a nice chunk of change. Mostly I just get out at 20-50 cents/share profit for a few hundred dollars a day and never look back once I sell.

DapperDraculaDeer posted:

But what do you do if the stock price keeps falling?

I generally sell at 10% less than what I paid. This usually doesn't happen because stocks where change < 2% are automatically screened out and selling before noon gets me out at profit. I also don't bet on every stock that shows up.

Maybe its just me, but operating under the assumption that stocks will always go back up seems like a recipe for disaster.

Also Im gonna try this.

Just screen it for awhile. You'll see that most of these stocks will end up 5-10% in the green around 1030-1100. You will need to follow day trader rules as well. One quick rule is not to buy anything if there's less than 5 screened stocks as this usually means the whole market is down. Another quick rule is to check news for a stock, if there's news it's likely to pop up quickly. I like Stock Rover because it has a news tracker.

There's not much risk in my method because I don't buy on margin and I only buy a few hundred shares so downsides are limited.

I don't really want to pile on, I've done the same thing with futures from time to time and believe this has probably worked (you have to sit out a lot but markets seem to get on daily clock for weeks at a stretch) but you were just in indexes 16 weeks ago. That's not a lot of weeks.

Oh yeah this isn't some kind of master stock strategy. I originally responded to someone asking how much money we're putting in. I just throw down like $500 in a day and if I make $100 I'm out. Sometimes I get really crazy and bet on 2 things at once!

Checking out AREC. Popped up this morning on the news that they can purify and reclaim neodymium from magnet waste. They just did a direct offering at their 52 week high to raise capital. Currently under $3, would suspect a substantial price increase or buyout over the next 1-2 years given the current shortages in rare earth minerals concurrent with pushing for electric vehicles.

It's the latest in a long line of questionable neurological drugs that put me in an ethical quandary. Ocrelizumab is the only drug with FDA approval for primary progressive multiple sclerosis and barely alters the disease course at a price tag of around 150k/year. Riluzole barely does anything for ALS and used to cost thousands per month though the cost has come down in recent years. Also there's really no good way to formally diagnose Alzheimer's so I can look forward to fighting with both patients and insurers for a drug that doesn't do anything.

Hey this is interesting to me actually because it happens that my GF takes Ocrevus. In Switzerland at least it seem to be the go to drug for people diagnosed with MS. Could you elaborate on why you say it barely alters the disease? Since taking this my GF hasn't had any new lesions, it's been a couple years now but it might also be dumb luck because we think she doesn't have a very bad version of MS.

In stock news I'm up 4.66$ on $GOON, to the moon!!

Ocrevus is great for relapsing remitting MS which is what your girlfriend has. It barely did anything for primary progressive MS yet I'm forced to prescribe it or face a malpractice lawsuit.

The FinViz options I checked were

Average Volume: Over 1M
Relative Volume: Over 3

Technical tab
20-Day Simple Moving Average: Price 20% Above SMA20
Change: Up
Change from Open: Up 2%

I use current volume for finviz although I moved away from the free version since it updates too slowly.
