  • Margi1983: @Margi1983 $VRTX . Dang.. Up 8% today on news of a collaboration with Editas Medicine for gene editing tech. Missed the entry. Will wait for a pullback.
  • Margi1983: $VRTX.Nice base since mid -November is now becoming a squeeze. Trying to break above the 50 ma. My guess is that @scottrades is watching this one
  • bill52: $CRSP $VRTX Just my opinion but I think this is truly ground breaking and fascinating stuff for how diseases will be dealt with in the future. CRSP and VRTX partnered for the first ever approval of two therapies in the UK and expect approvals in the US in December. I'm not a doctor but sounds like you treat the problem at the DNA source and not just the symptoms. Here's one of the articles in IBD. https://finance.yahoo.com/m/4ce79342-7898-39b9-9cba-3697eeac8c6e/crispr-surges-after-winning.html
  • DAN: @bill52 $CRSP $VRTX I agree with you, bill. CRISPR gene editing is really cutting edge and important stuff. It can do a lot of good.
  • scottrades: Earnings AMC: $AMD $DVN $SBUX $PINS $MSTR $PXD $SEDG $ELF $LUMN $SPCE $CZR $VFC $PAYC $EXAS $VRTX $SU $MOS $CWH $MTCH $SHLW $TEX $CHK $TRIN $ULCC $EA $AIG $ALIT $BXP $AZPN $SFM $INSP $PRU $WTI $AFL $ALL $AXS $FLS $FRSH $DENN $COLM $BHR $OLO $PRTS $TX $VMEO $TCS $EHC $EXEL
  • woodman: @scottrades $AMD $DVN $SBUX $PINS $MSTR $PXD $SEDG $ELF $LUMN $SPCE $CZR $VFC $PAYC $EXAS $VRTX $SU $MOS $CWH $MTCH $SHLW $TEX $CHK $TRIN $ULCC $EA $AIG $ALIT $BXP $AZPN $SFM $INSP $PRU $WTI $AFL $ALL $AXS $FLS $FRSH $DENN $COLM $BHR $OLO $PRTS $TX $VMEO $TCS $EHC $EXEL - Ugh, I hate earnings season.
  • woodman: @sgiseller $CRSP - Thanks for the info. I can't believe I let $VRTX get away. I held it for a good while.
  • woodman: $VRTX - I actually did well with it, selling and buying back at the right times, but with my last sale I failed to buy it back. Perfect W formation on the weekly. Now its going to the moon.
  • joelsg1: @woodman $VRTX I had 1 right time, 1 wrong time, but lost track as well.
  • woodman: $VRTX continues to move higher. Has been very strong.
  • steve71: $MCRB Not for the fainthearted. I will be out before the close on Weds. Money good so far. $VRTX Biotechs go up and down. Vertex goes up. (There, I've jinxed it.) $XERS Their drug delivery platform is working. Now they just onboard more and more drugs.
  • woodman: @steve71 $MCRB $VRTX $XERS - Nice work with $MCRB.I never got on board though looked at it a lot. $$ tied up elsewhere so I never really got in gear with it. I think your idea to sell before PDUFA is a good one. Seems that approval is very likely, but the stock still isn't moving as hard as one would hope/expect. I get a $CDTX vibe with it (though MCRB does have much greater institutional support than CDTX did/does). I also think there are some questions about rollout post-approval.
  • steve71: @steve71 $MCRB $VRTX $XERS Guess I can only reply to myself, As an only child that's not a problem. I have also seen the JPM concern about slow early sales. That doesn't make sense to me. 20,000 C. diff deaths in U.S. yearly. C. diff is hard to treat initially. Recurrent C. diff is even more difficult, maybe because of drug resistance from the first round. So if recurrence can be 90% prevented why wouldn't the ICU doc treat every single initial case with SER-109? My bet is that every single primary case gets treatment - a run rate of 150,000 to 200,000 yearly in the U.S. alone. So I am hoping for post approval weakness for another bite of the apple.
  • woodman: @steve71 $MCRB $VRTX $XERS - Makes sense. Often the post-approval dips turn out to be great opportunities. CDTX is still suffering from its post-approval migraine. (No position in CDTX currently.)

    $TMDX -- Stop at 54.20. 50-day MA holding.

  • sierramp: @woodman $ARDX $ETNB $PDSB $AMLX $ORMP $VKTX $DAWN $BMRN $CPRX $NWBO $SRPT $VRTX $XFOR #Biotech Thank you for this. Can't buy them using my usual process for evaluation but very, very interesting so attempting to come up with another way to evaluate. If you have time, would you share how they pass your test?
  • woodman: $VRTX seemingly finding support at the 200d. Low risk area if nothing else.
  • woodman: @sierramp $ARDX $ETNB $PDSB $AMLX $ORMP $VKTX $DAWN $BMRN $CPRX $NWBO $SRPT $VRTX $XFOR #Biotech - Catalysts (trial data due; FDA decisions due, etc.), important therapeutic areas and potential moats, interesting combos with established companies and institutions, strong interest by people I respect. Not all of these necessarily apply to each and every one, but some of these elements apply to each. Not an exhaustive list, but what instantly came to mind. Fwiw, I provided a small bit of color on most of these in a prior recent post here that you can search for. The chart is a factor, but to a more limited extent - less so than my ordinary trading MO.
  • sierramp: @woodman $VRTX I'm in on that thesis.
  • woodman: @sierramp $VRTX - I added fwiw.
  • pperlroth: @woodman $ARDX $ETNB $PDSB $AMLX $ORMP $VKTX $DAWN $BMRN $CPRX $NWBO $SRPT $VRTX $XFOR #Biotech These are great! Thank you for sharing as I often look to this industry as the payouts can be massive given potential takeovers AND potential FDA approvals for new drugs/therapies.

  • DAN: ...
    $VRTX - A bit volatile lately, though the 50--day moving average is holding up well. Recall that it was Monday where I decided to lower the stop to below $300 because I felt the stop at 308.39 was just way too tight. When the stop is so tight that ...
  • jpoko13: @DAN $LLY $VRTX $CPRX $ENPH $TMDX $SHOP $VRNA $SQ My stop on $SHOP was $36.90 and was triggered last Thursday when the stock's low was $36.56.

    Regarding the active trade ideas, I'll point your attention to Vertex Pharma ($VRTX). The suggested max stop is currently set at 308.39. I have a problem with that because it is just slightly above the 50-day moving average at 307. So I am loweri ...

I added a bit to my position today, which is still quite smal. $AMR -- Also a nice reversal here and never tested our $148.50 stop.

  • woodman: $VRTX - added to this on today's dip. I didn't chase anything today. If I missed it, I missed it. But I found things that I like that pulled back and bounced or broke out in an orderly fashion that I think will have legs past this week.
  • DAN: Adding Vertex Pharmaceuticals ($VRTX) to the active trade list.

    Basis: 308.39

    Stop: 287.00

    The stock appears to be forming a handle on a 3-month cup & handle pattern. This is an early entry, which means it is more speculative. The upside of th ...

    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 ...
  • Justhanging48: $VRTX looking for support
  • DAN: ...
    $VRTX -- institutional activity on Friday. Completely reversed the Thursday earnings rout. Still needs to tighten up, but this is in the later stages of a high base. WAtch how it reacts on pullbacks to the 50-day MA.

  • woodman: @jpoko13 $CORT - yeah mentioned it the other day but didn't pull the trigger unfortunately. Others on my list, some of which I do have, were $CPRX $HALO $NBIX $HAE $HRMY $VRTX. Also $ARDX and $ALNY.
  • 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 ...
  • debeers: @champ $VRTX #most - i'm not commenting on $VRTX. As far as holding through earnings-
    i couldn't disagree with you more.
    $BOOT, it is true, didn't work and what was interesting to me is that they actually did beat but their online sales fell and th ...
  • woodman: @debeers $VRTX $BOOT #most - Arrogance and always being right (Smartest Guy in the Room Syndrome) are just a couple of the many unsavory qualities often displayed in his posts. They are often tone deaf, and far too frequently are smug and rude. Mystifyingly, they also sometimes serve as a personal attack, such as when - without any justification - he attacked @bRobert who has been a treasure to, and is virtually universally loved, in this forum. Such posts have always left me scratching my head, and over the years it's taken a considerable level of restraint for me to fly above them without comment. In fact, I quite often don't read them at all, his smug and rude one to me last night excepted.
  • champ: @woodman $VRTX $HNST #most ....On holding a stock into earnings....as a Rule of Thumb...it is not the smartest thing to do, without a plan. $HNST...on this stock, my last Entry was at $2.85 and I posted that Entry on 10/25.....and I'm also holding a Core position at $3.66.....and on their next Earnings, my pre-plan was to hold into ER.
  • Francoise: @woodman $VRTX $BOOT #most i agree with you and @debeers and thank you both for your comments, boasting doesn t help nobody and being rude is awful. i thank you both for your contribution to the forum, i read all your posts and i m grateful for your teaching.
  • woodman: @Francoise $VRTX $BOOT #most - I'm so glad you've found our posts helpful to you. :-)
  • woodman: $VRTX has made back almost all of yesterday's spasm fretting over yesterday's amc report. While I absolutely don't fault anyone for selling before the report, because as a trader that's a prudent thing to do given that earnings are indeed a crapshoot ...
  • DAN: ...
    $VRTX -- Seems to be a crowd favorite, but this is still putting in a base along the 50dma.
    $CECE -- Up nearly 20% since we checked it below $10. I would be taking profits here.
    $TA -- Missed this one. Earnings on Tuesday.
    $SRPT -- Still squeezi ...
