- joelsg1: @Motorman $GPCR Keep an eye on $AMGN, overcoming an FDA black box warning today on osteoporosis drug Prolea, which has dual mechanism obesity drugs in mid-stage development with hopefully fewer side effects and less frequent dosing. Lower volume breakout above high declining shelf into E 2/6. LT Long with short covered calls.
- Motorman: @joelsg1 $GPCR $AMGN thanks
- woodman: @joelsg1 $GPCR $AMGN - AMGN also quitely abandoned its Prolia/Denosumab Phase 3 trial for Osteogenesis Imperfecta because of safety concerns about it causing high levels of calcium in the blood. See https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT02352753 I'm betting on $MREO (with $RARE, its partner on this drug) will own treatment for this indication with their Setrusumab (in Phase 3).
- woodman: $VKTX broke out last week, then sideways last few days. Now making a little flag. It is extended from the 50d and 200d with the 50 going to cross above the 200d soon. Shorter term, the 8dEMA has caught up again. It has oral and subq obesity drug cand ...
- joelsg1: @woodman $VKTX $LLY $AMGN $PFE You are kinda the expert around here :)
- woodman: @joelsg1 $VKTX $LLY $AMGN $PFE https://i.gifer.com/1VF5.gif
- joelsg1: @woodman $VKTX $LLY $AMGN $PFE More hair than I'd imagine.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $VKTX $LLY $AMGN $PFE - Am I not using my nose-hair scissors (that I told @bigbartabs about) enough?
- joelsg1: @woodman $GPCR Yep, still in this one. Hanging in despite lots of competition coming, particularly from a legacy holding $AMGN which I think is sandbagging their results in both injectable/pill forms.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $GPCR $AMGN - Also, $VKTX should have data for both oral and subq possibly as early as this Q for at least one of those, though I'd expect at least by 2Q for both.
- Onthemark: @pebbles $LLY $AMGN is making a nice cup and handle formation. $ISRG is breaking out today.
- pebbles: @Onthemark $LLY $AMGN $ISRG Thanks! I’ll start tracking.
- Henry: $AMGN Breaking out on a weekly chart
- joelsg1: @Henry $AMGN Legacy Lt holding for me since $47 and currently paying 3% divi. I've sold and rolled upside covered calls along the way to juice the return. I post alot of st momo trades here, which have worked very well in a rising market, but it's really hard to make large profits moving in and out even if you time them right. Better to do as Buffett does, buy great companies at fair prices and hold and if you must trade around the core pos., which I do.
- joelsg1: @woodman $GPCR $VKTX $XFOR $INZY $PDSB I wait with bated breath. Followed you into $VKTX for as I recall mixed results, but definitely think a pill is better than the injection, and duct tape across the mouth better yet. Btw, own $AMGN which has its own injectable but lasts at least 3 months per injection vs weekly for the others. Cheers.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $GPCR $VKTX $XFOR $INZY $PDSB $AMGN - Is Amgen's still phase 1?
- joelsg1: @woodman $GPCR $VKTX $XFOR $INZY $PDSB $AMGN In Phase 2 now.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $GPCR $VKTX $XFOR $INZY $PDSB $AMGN - That's good.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Breakout. Leerink to $318. Posted often, legacy holding since $47 with now lower yield divi, and they have their own weight loss drug among many others.
- oldtimer: using @Dan simple formula on TC2000 of above the 200ma, above the 50ma above the 21ma and above the 8ma in the Nasdaq 100 there are three stocks . .$ATVI, $AMGN, $SGEN per my screen. the DOW has one $AMGN, S&P has 16. $PKG, $WDC,$AIZ, $CF, $CBOE, $MOH, $MCK, $TXT, $WRK, $HAL, $ACGL, $XOM, $PSX, $ATVI, $AMGN, $REGN Slim Pickings
- Momentariness: @scottrades I looked through 600 charts and found 4 still breathing $AKAM, $AMGN, BJ, and TEVA
- scottrades: @Momentariness $AKAM $AMGN I've been following AKAM, nice breakout yesterday, lower open today. Would be interesting to see it hold up during this market volatility.
- joelsg1: $AMGN HOD-L.
- debeers: Might be a good time for discipline to triumph over wishin' and hopin' Have 8 stocks but all but 1 (my ittty bitty) all above the 21 day most at the 8 or above-$FDX above after earnings whic is up 12.50 $AMGN/ $ARDX/$AZO/$CEIX/$FDX/$LULU/$TXT/$X
- joelsg1: $NVDA $AMGN Both have large private equity-like investment funds which will power future growth, example Generate Biomedicines using AI for drug development now which will reduce trial costs and payoff later. Long both public companies. https://generatebiomedicines.com/news/series-c-financing-announcement
- woodman: @joelsg1 $NVDA $AMGN - Interesting, thanks. One I watch in the biotech/AI area, which seems to be involved in similar areas, is $QSI (np currently). https://ir.quantum-si.com/news-releases/news-release-details/quantum-si-and-biovista-partner-provide-ai-driven-deep#:~:text=This%20partnership%20combines%20Quantum%2DSi's,efficient%20protein%20drug%20target%20discovery. (As for $NVDA, I continue to hold it long term.)

- joelsg1: $AMGN Blasted up through 200d from E $30 in 3 days, nice balance to tech portfolio, $HZNP thyroid eye drug sales up 10% sequentially and on track acquisition this year, and they have an anti-obesity/diabetes/heart drug too, plus 9 others growing 10% plus. Long.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Strong E and move above 200d, Long.
- scottrades: Lots of Earnings to be aware of after the close: $AAPL $AMZN $COIN $FTNT $SQ $ABNB $DKNG $NET $OPEN $AMGN $TEAM $CRSR $MP $LTHM $FND $MCHP and more.
- joelsg1: $AMGN FTC weakness in $MSFT/$ATVI deal bodes well for $HZNP acquisition. Rolled up/out all short covered calls.
- joelsg1: $AMGN The FTC has filed its long awaited lawsuit to block the $HZNP deal, but waited until the last minute to do so. This to me is a positive. David Faber reported some settlement talks have occurred, thus waiting until the proverbial last minute to file indicates progress. The stock has marked a Head & Shoulders bottom which to me confirms around $250 on the weekly. Long.
- scottrades: Earnings after the close: $AMZN $INTC $SNAP $NET $FSLR $PINS $X $TMUS $GILD $AMGN $DXCM $SKX $COF $MDLZ $PFG $AYX $SAM $LHX $DLR $SWN $BJRI $AEM $SGEN $ACCD $FICO $IMAX $WY $RMD $ALSN $VRSN $KNSL $CINF $CAMP $CUBE $MHK $CC $CSL $APPF $SKYW $SLCA $HIG $SM $SNCY $ZYXI $OIS $COLM $GLPI $LPLA $AJG $BZH

DrScience: @scottrades $AMGN Here's what I wrote yesterday on OMM about the stock...
$AMGN Let's take a look at the chart.... The stock is in a volatility squeeze with Price is below the 20 DMA. It's also below the 8 EMA, but above the 21 EMA. Price is stuck i ... - woodman: @DrScience $AMGN - Nice post, Doc. Also of note to me is that this squeeze is happening somewhat (fairly?) extended above the 50d. I think a breakout to the upside (if to the upside) would tend to have more power if starting closer to the 50d. But the Market doesn't care what I say or think. It often gives an unkind hand gesture and does the unexpected. Market gods have a cruel sense of humor.
- DrScience: @woodman $AMGN Hand gesture. Not just to the bears, but to the bulls, and anyone else that just happens to be looking. 🤣
- joelsg1: @DrScience $AMGN LT, and I mean really LT holding for me, had sold upside covered calls against shares but took all those off with the buzz about anti obesity drug earlier this year. 2.7% divi and large cap. gains make this an easy hold.
- woodman: @DrScience $AMGN The Market is an equal opportunity soul and wallet crusher.
- scottrades: My notes: $SPY 390 Support $QQQ Support at the 50 Day $DIA Support at 334 $GDX Bumping against the 200 Day $XME Going sideways $SMH Good strength but ceiling overhead $IGV At the 50 Day $XLK Flag $TAN No real direction $XHB Above the 200 Day $IBB Support at the 21 EMA $BITO Some volume today $NFLX and chill with Harry and Megan? $CELH Mentioned in the COTD $DKS Coming out of a flag $CPRX Sideways $DE Testing the highs $LSCC Holding the 8EMA $NVDA Watch the 200 Day $ON Above the 8EMA but still a bit loose $AMD Support at 69 $KLAC Base $AMAT Holding the 200 Day $ACLS Near the highs $AMGN Flag

- woodman: @debeers @vcondry @Rockstar $LLY $NVO $AMGN - article on the 3 companies' new era weight loss drugs - https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/new-weight-loss-drugs-work-but-whos-paying/2022/11/09/ccea6bca-603b-11ed-a131-e900e4a6336b_story.html
- joelsg1: @debeers $LLY Prefer $AMGN and in , they have an approved drug for safety Otezla which has same weight loss effect, and apparently causes beaucoup burping. 2/3 cheaper than $LLY, double+ the divi, and steeper upward channel on chart as this plays catchup.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $LLY $AMGN https://www.investors.com/news/technology/amgen-stock-jumps-after-narrowing-race-in-obesity-treatment-with-novo-lilly/
- joelsg1: @woodman $LLY $AMGN Otezla being prescribed now for off-label weight loss use.

Rockstar: ...
So what do we do now. I was long the semis ($ON and $NVDA) on Monday, as mentioned in my missive on that day, and sold my positions on Tuesday. In hindsight it would have been a nice hold through yesterday's numbers, but I did not want to hold ... - jwstich: @Rockstar and @DAN $SPY $DIA $QQQ $IWM $ON $NVDA $SMH $XLV $AMGN $MRK $VRTX $MCK $XLE $CVX $XOM $DVN $OXY $XLF $GS $MET $AFL Do you still plan on combining SMM and OMM in some fashion? If so, when might this happen? I would be very much interested at looking at the combination. BTW, nice note this am Rocky.
- DAN: @jwstich $SPY $DIA $QQQ $IWM $ON $NVDA $SMH $XLV $AMGN $MRK $VRTX $MCK $XLE $CVX $XOM $DVN $OXY $XLF $GS $MET $AFL We are just working on the pricing now. I'm hoping that we can even get it done in time for Black Friday...and if not, then early December. It's a priority...there are just some complexities that are under the hood. Sorry for the delay.
- joelsg1: $PANW $TSLA Traveling all week with zero to poor internet. Did manage yesterday to open posted $PANW calls and spreads working out today with $ZM collaboration with Zoomtopia today. $AMGN also working with focus on their weight loss drug. Dwarfed by continued drop in $TSLA down 30% since 10/1, Musk polarizing tweets alienating his customers and Twitter overhang continues with thought he may have to sell shares to fund his vanity project. But numbers continue to rise, 54.5k China exports in Oct. and a bit lower than projected 17.2k domestic sales with price drop to meet subsidy in effect just last week. They also had a “ recall” for power steering disruption fixed by Over the air software update, no competitor can do that. Talk of buyback increasing with $20B free cash will support shares eventually, sooner than later. When it turns, and it will, happen fast.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $PANW $TSLA $ZM $AMGN - What Musk is doing to satisfy his ego and vanity is a tragedy for his shareholders. So self-destructive. But what's he care? He's the richest guy on the planet and essentially untouchable. There's a name for the kind of money he has, but I can't post it here.
- vcondry: @woodman $PANW $TSLA $ZM $AMGN " F U MONEY " I couldn't imagine the kind of freedom that brings to basically not take sh*t from anyone...he's lucky his company is in America or he would be the next Jack Ma ... I think we see a rebound at the 200 day @Scottrades posted earlier
- joelsg1: @woodman $PANW $TSLA $ZM $AMGN That name is "less". But still confident patience will be rewarded, lonely position now.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $PANW $TSLA $ZM $AMGN - "less" - LOL. Not what I was thinking, but true nevertheless. I hope he'll show some maturity (at 51), restraint, and self-correct his ways. I'd like to buy TSLA at some point. He doesn't make it easy for me to want to be involved with his ventures.

Rockstar: ...
I am looking at the $DIA and $IWM for longs. The sectors are $XLB,$XLE,$XLF,$XLV and I am eyeing the $SMH as well. I know that has more to do with the $QQQ's but that sector has shown some strength recently. The stocks I am looking at within thes ... -
Rockstar: ...
The $XLV is a sector I like as well with $MCK, $UNH,$VRTX,$AMGN and $LLY being my stocks to watch. Dan has had $LLY on the ATL and it is continuing its breakout. $VRTX reversed after earnings and is poised to make new highs. $UNH is pushing again ... - jpoko13: $AMGN break out gap and run
- joelsg1: $AMGN Still climbing despite Barclay's downgrade, but Day 3 of move. Long.
- vcondry: @cdmdave $MRNA when did they start selling alcohol? $MRNA $LLY $AMGN long ;-D
- joelsg1: $AMGN Up on MS target raise to $279, they have similar obesity drug to $LLY. Longtime hold.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Buying back 1/23 $270 covered calls for a buck, sold them in July for $7.85.
- vcondry: @joelsg1 $AMGN thats a solid risk reward
- debeers: $AMGN-positive lung cancer data according to Wells Fargo. winner stock
- sierramp: @debeers $AMGN I hope they have great success with this in upcoming trials.
- woodman: This is a list of #Gene editing/therapy #Car-T stocks (#Biotech subset). I haven't updated it in some time, so it's not an up-to-date/complete list, but it provides a number stocks that are acting very well and, if you've paid any attention to this area over the years, you'll certainly recognize many of them (including $NTLA which @Dan added to his list today).

- Pokersmith: @traderbren $XEL $NOC $SO $AMGN $LLY $CNC $EPD $WES #Weeklies Nice work, thx
- joelsg1: $AMGN Still working as an inverse $QQQ trade. Up on ex-divi today. Long longtime.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Still working, strong above 50d and now 20d ,but ex-divi 3.2% Monday.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Trimmed a little, used the $1.90 divi ex-Monday as my stop. This one has moved inversely to the Qs lately.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Day 3, still working, bumped to $244 20d and small pb. Long.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Back to 50d inflection up 1.4% but ex-divi 3.2% next Monday. Knocked down unfairly by IRS audit from 5 years ago which will take years to resolve. Long and selling covered calls.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Blasted through that 50d with now a small pb. Posted earlier about next Mon. ex-divi, but has moved essentially inverse to the $QQQ since Qs latest steady decline, except for the IRS news hit job which tanked the stock, and now moving back perhaps to the pre-hit level +$13. Problem is if the Qs rally, inverse move may continue, even though $AMGN is 1% of Qs.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Well now we know what stops this thing going up, a $10B+ dispute over back taxes and an IRS audit which will likely take years to resolve. Long shares longtime from way below and short upside covered calls, but paying close attention.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Long almost 2 year ceiling at $260, after double bottom bounce off 200w, and support at 20w. Daily straight up $30 from 200d retest 6 weeks ago. Still 3% divi. Something's got to give at $260. Long longtime from mid double digits and keep selling and lately rolling up/out covered calls to that ceiling. Extended but lately a freight train chugging higher.
- issues: @bud_ozborn $IBB Cramer has been talking up medical stocks. He says since they do well even with rate hikes. $IBB, $XLV etc. I took a gander at biotechs and am buying these two in the morning: $AMPH (good BO with vol) $PCRX. We own $VRTX and put in limit orders for $AMGN and $GLPG. These are all from IBD industry group 99. I am buying $XLV in the morning. Great chart BO!!
- steve71: @jpoko13 $HZNP $AMGN $ABBV $HZNP $MYOV $PCRX $REGN $VRTX The biotech fromula that has worked for a month is to pick companies with the following attributes: one or more FDA approved products, growing revenue, growing earnings, plenty of cash and a promising pipeline. The seven listed above mostly make the grade. It's better to pick stocks than to buy the $XBI. Buying small, cash burners with only spec drugs is the WRONG answer with rising interest rates.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled up/out covered $250 calls as this one keeps working, with a $1.94 per Q divi kicker.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled all May $245 short covered calls to July 250 for credit.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled up/out short covered 4/8 $142.50 calls to 5/20 $245s for even. Captures next divi.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled short $240 covered calls 1 week to $242.50.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled all Friday short $235 calls 1 week to $240. Long shares from way below.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Rolled up/out today's $232.50 short covered calls.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Continuing bounce off 50d, unlike $IBB. Long and selling upside otm weekly calls against long stock.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Still working, broke above 50w, volume late each day. Long.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Accelerating HOD-L.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Sold Mar. 245 calls covered by stock into this big move.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Lung cancer drug approved for wide use in Britain. Stock testing short term H&S on daily, but above 50w. Long and looking to add. 3.3% yield.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Up on old buyback news, bounced off 200d and above 50d and 50w convergence. Long.
- joelsg1: $AMGN E slight miss but saved by buyback and capital allocation announced on call. Long time long and normally would trim after big move, but ex $1.94 div 2/14 so trailing stop in and selling some upside calls for next week instead.
- joelsg1: @Lou $VIAC Thought about adding to LEAPs spreads but got busy with $AMGN and $COO today.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Sold next week's $230 covered calls against long term stock, E 2/7.
- joelsg1: $AMGN Back above 50w continuing nice run from "W" bottom, and now above 200d. E 2/7, ex-div 3.4% 2/14. Long time.
- bRobert: @joelsg1 $AMGN $REGN wedge WEEKLY still attractive Watching
- joelsg1: $AMGN HOD-L.
- joelsg1: $AMGN $BRK Don't just own $TSLA, these 2 Longs keep working as posted. But now 2 hours in, see reversal tweezer forming 15 min. chart on $TSLA.
- slp20: @joelsg1 $AMGN $BRK $TSLA Tesla appears to have filled yesterday AM gap. Is reversal tweezer a confirmation?
- joelsg1: @slp20 $AMGN $BRK $TSLA Learned tweezer from @Scottrades here, intraday reversal signal, might be good for intraday bounce.
- slp20: @joelsg1 $AMGN $BRK $TSLA Thank you :)
