  • vitoB: $BAX another dtrade long
  • vitoB: @vitoB $BAX Out now
  • woodman: $NVO $ARDX $DVA $MDT $BAX - Interesting that Novo has "agreed to buy ocedurenone, a drug for uncontrolled hypertension with potential application in cardiovascular and kidney disease, from KBP Biosciences for up to $1.3 billion" when its Oz ...
  • MongosPawn: @woodman $NVO $ARDX $DVA $MDT $BAX Quite the rollercoaster ride today on $ARDX.
  • vitoB: @woodman $NVO $ARDX $DVA $MDT $BAX .. have been dtrading $BAX and lookin at $MDT. Just on oversold conditions basis. But do you know if the drug will reduce the need for dialysis equipment over time or enhance it ?
  • woodman: @vitoB $NVO $ARDX $DVA $MDT $BAX - That's a good question, I don't know, but I doubt it will put dialysis equipment makers out of business. Definitely worth looking into if Xphozah is approved. https://ir.ardelyx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/ardelyx-presents-new-data-analyses-kidney-week-2022-further https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ardelyx-presents-positive-data-further-supporting-efficacy-and-safety-of-xphozah-tenapanor-at-national-kidney-foundation-2022-spring-clinical-meetings-301519751.html https://www.kidney.org/news/nkf-and-ardelyx-inc-survey-finds-dialysis-patients-struggle-to-maintain-serum-phosphorus-levels "Hyperphosphatemia is a serious condition resulting in an abnormally elevated level of phosphorus in the blood that is estimated to affect more than 745,000 dialysis patients in major developed countries. The kidney is the organ responsible for regulating phosphorus levels, but when kidney function is significantly impaired, phosphorus is not adequately eliminated from the body. As a result, hyperphosphatemia is a nearly universal condition among people with CKD on dialysis with internationally recognized KDIGO treatment guidelines that recommend lowering elevated phosphate levels toward the normal range (2.5-4.5 mg/dL)."
  • bhaden1: @woodman $NVO $ARDX $DVA $MDT $BAX That is certainly positive news. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Long term, ARDX is a winner. Just the short term it may be bumpy.
  • vitoB: Lookin through all the medical devices companies for 59ers. $BAX and $MDT jump out
  • vitoB: @vitoB $BAX $MDT ..starter $BAX AT 31.50
  • vitoB: Out of $BAX 59er. Back into $CAVA at vwap with it
  • woodman: @vitoB $BAX $MDT - The likes of $DVA $BAX $MDT were all slammed by the continuing knee-jerk reaction and pumpers pumping with respect to lofty but uncertain/premature claims that Ozempic/GLP-1 agonists will be the panacea for CKD patients on dialysis (allowing them to get off dialysis). To me, it all seems based on premature data/investigation and some speculation that it will significantly impact patients and therefore impact the CKD/dialysis companies. It's part of the Ozempic et al. euphoria, but it remains to be seen what comes of all this.

  • DAN: ...
    $BAX - Is there any way to research why a stock like BAX had a key reversal day last Friday June 11th. It traded over 5 million shares. No news. Is this just institutions and active traders dumping the stock after it touched the 50 day moving av ...
  • tcardoso: $BAX coming out of a squeeze with MAs stacked below and volume coming in. Long term uptrend. Is 90 a good entry point or waith for phase 2 first?
  • Brian_M: @scott what do you think about $BAX. It seems like it is really starting to squeeze with the 50 and 200 below as support. Should also see the 50 cross over the 200 to the upside next week.
  • scottrades: @Brian_M $BAX It's holding at the Key Moving Averages, which is great. But it's not really giving me a buy signal right here.
  • Brian_M: $BAX breaking out of the wedge at support today and initial target is about $93
  • Brian_M: $BAX mentioned this last week and it is starting to pinch right near the support of the 50 and 200 day averages. If it pops out to the upside my target would be a retest of the $95 area. Currently long from $84.65 and will close it out on a close below the 50 day.
  • Brian_M: Stocks bouncing off good support today that I have new positions in during the sell off are $BAX and $SLP. They are also IBD growers if the fundamentalist would like to check them out.
  • CdrJake: $BAX @Dan If you were long BAX as I am, how would you handle the ugliness of the morning?
  • Henry: @CdrJake $BAX That's a kick below the belt. Forex accounting irregularities may have inflated forex gains for a number of years. Usually accounting irregularities mean sell. If I understood forex better I might have an opinion. For now I will stay long.
  • CdrJake: @Henry $BAX Any irregularities scare me. Actually . Since I was up 110%, long term I sold half my holdings, and will wait to see where it settles at the end of the first hour... will look yo get out of rest shortly. Gonna be more bad headlines coming along.
  • MtChet: @CdrJake $BAX - Now BAX is named in Opioid debacle. I'm out.
  • Henry: $BAX They will not stop with drug companies, hospitals and insurance plans will be next.
  • DAN: @CdrJake $BAX I wouldn't be long BAX, Jake. Holding over earnings is always a risk. Particularly a medical company. But you might want to consider putting a stop at $76.90. You're risking about $4 bucks to stay in the trade. If it were me, I'd j ...
  • Forexpro: @Henry $BAX

    Hi, Henry,

    It sounds as though the company's Treasury folks were setting the exchange rates at which overseas earnings would be converted - e.g. GBP/USD at 1.30 - then executing real trades and booking the resulting gains (I'm assuming ...
  • CdrJake: @DAN $BAX Thursday, October 24, 2019 07:41 Agree entirely, already out of half, and orders in to sell rest. Made over 100% on the trades long term, wasn't in the part of my trading account. Agree better use of the funds elsewhere. Although in long term account, am exiting like a trader, is already up over 2.5 since I sold first aliquot. Thank you for great response. Jake
  • Henry: @Forexpro $BAX So they took a revenue neutral transaction and claimed it was a profit? It doesn't sound as bad as falsifying sales. The stock is rebounding more than I would have thought. The 10Q is delayed indefinitely. I owned a stock, way it $BWLD ? that took a year to put out their delayed earnings. In 2018 $BAX had $1.6 bil of income, and $9mil of hedging gains. There real business is medical, not currency and I don't see people getting healthier. I would guess they would be a lower target on the list of a Single Payer health system.
  • CdrJake: @Forexpro @Henry $BAX One of my personal trading rules is, I dont trade stuff I don't understand. So another reason for me to get out of BAX, and be happy, even if it recovers later... cause I dont understand the Forex/exchange rate stuff . Gonna leave that to you, Forexpro. Out of 3/4ths of position, still some to go.
  • CdrJake: $LRCX making my day positive despite $BAX. By a factor of 10. "Don't worry, be happy!"
  • Forexpro: @Henry $BAX $BWLD

    Hi, Henry,

    You'll no doubt be proven right, longer-term. The near-term concern is that since the FX misstatements seem to have occurred over a number of years, and the accounting impact apparently influenced reported earnings, la ...
  • Henry: @Forexpro $BAX The class action lawyers are already "starting investigations" from TOS news "The income Baxter International reaped from foreign-currency transactions made up 4% of reported earnings per share last year and in 2017, and 3% in 2016, according to SVB Leerink . That proportion hit 15% in 2015"
  • capsguy: $BAX @Dan is this worthy to be in our 'growth stock list', if and when the stock crosses 89 on higher than average volume? Currently in a squeeze
  • capsguy: @capsguy $BAX Earnings 10/24
  • capsguy: @capsguy $BAX On second thoughts, I think @scotttrades mentioned this as a swing trade--make sense. Too extended form the major moving averages to possibly include on the GSL (maybe future move towards the 50dma). Apologize for 'thinking' my way through this and posting at the same time!
  • DAN: @capsguy $BAX Good stock. The only issue I have with it is that the sales numbers are pretty flat. Not increasing much -- just steady. And we're looking for rising/accelerating revenues because the market has a tough time estimating the fair value of a company that's growing exponentially.
  • capsguy: @DAN $BAX Got it; will remember to check out fundamentals for long term buys
  • scottrades: ...
    $BAX Earnings in 6 Days. Watch above 88.25
    $HAS Earnings coming up in 4 Days. No trade...yet.
    $DG Working up the 8 EMA.
    $TRU Earnings in 4 Days. Watch for a pop or drop.
    $PFSI Moving out of a high base. New Weekly High and good volume today.
  • Bridget: $BAX is at a good buy point within this squeeze after a bounce off the 50dMA

  • MtChet: @DAN $ZYXI - Thanks. I bought this stock about 5 years ago at $0.40 as a spec. I have traded around the position all the way up with tremendous success, thanks to you and SMM. I feel $ZYXI is an ideal takeover candidate for someone like $JNJ, $BAX, $ABT etc.
  • Henry: @woodman #MedicalDevices $BAX dunno but I see Baxter missed earnings yet got a couple upgrades and increased pt. Not a bad company for long term holders to start a position
  • woodman: @Henry $BAX #MedicalDevices - odd to see Medical Devices hit broadly across the board. Did the President say something about them today?
  • woodman: @Henry $BAX #MedicalDevices - 2 days ago the House voted to repeal the Medical Device tax. You'd think that would help these stocks. It did for one day.
  • Henry: @woodman $BAX #MedicalDevices Honestly, I thought they got rid of that last year. A tax on health care to pay for health care makes no sense.

  • Henry: @Wolf $BAX I don't see the halt http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/Trader.aspx?id=TradeHalts
  • Wolf: @Henry $BAX Fidelity had a headline "Baxter International Inc. (BAX) Resumed Trading DOW JONES & COMPANY, INC. 8:30 AM ET 1/2/2018". I assumed if it resumed, it must have been halted. Headline could be misleading.

  • Bridget: $BAX an uptrending stock that is currently in a squeeze. Watch this for a move higher but I think you can buy this here. Also has good IV for selling covered calls.
  • efrain007: $BAX new high
  • efrain007: $BAX nice chart.....reported earnings, gapped down, and now near day high and near all time high
  • JBed: @efrain007 $BAX This was on today's RevShark post. Wish I'd seen it earlier and grabbed some at the lows.
  • efrain007: @JBed $BAX Yup that's where I saw it too. If it can close at new high or near high I'll start a position.
  • Henry: $BAX is reportedly down 10 % in premarket. Both TOS and Nasdaq report only 10 shares were traded. Who the hell trades 10 shares at 7 am? Artificial shortages of common drugs has been going on for at least 40 years. I once joked with my head of pharmacy that we should start our own drug company called National Backorder dot com. http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170414/NEWS03/170419901/justice-department-crackdown-on-price-fixing-ensnares-baxter I hope the find the Shkreli behind this practice.
  • PhilHarmonic: @Henry $BAX I don't trust the after hours quotes. The situation you reported about the $BAX price quote is common for pre market and after hours. I don't understand why this is allowed to happen. Well we all know that the Markets are manipulated, to some extent.
  • bwcarnation1: @PhilHarmonic $BAX I don't think one can even trade less than 100 shares pre and post market
  • PhilHarmonic: @bwcarnation1 $BAX Something screwy is happening. This has been going on for a long time. I look at pre market quotes every day at http://www.nasdaq.com/. I notice it a lot with stocks that I own.

  • TunaHelper: @Trixie $HRL I think a lot of these defensives (incl. $KHC, $CPB, $TSN, maybe $DPS, maybe $BAX, etc.) have crazy multiples and could be great candidates for folks to rotate out of - making them shortable to your point.
  • Trixie: @TunaHelper $HRL $KHC $CPB $TSN $DPS $BAX interesting hadn't thought of the bear case on $DPS position owners blinders on.. I did notice that it failed to come out of the base and make a new high.. (depending if u use div adjusted or not) I had picked mine up after the move back to around the 200ma. We'll see if it was the right thing to do or not.. $MNST looks rather similar.. Some of the smaller beavies continue to work $FIZZ, $COT
  • Aragorn: Stocks making 52 week highs - $VMC $BAX $BXLT $BIN $COR $NOC $BITI $CL $LMT $CLX $FXY YCL Can be substituted for FXY . Weakening dollar watch for all these currencies that may get stronger another area to look at also VXX if we are going down this may start to move up ( think UVXY ) GLD up UUP down and USO should move up with a weakening dollar. No more trading this week have a good one

  • rtomczak: $BAX Hidden Ebola gem. At a great buy point. Supplies hospital with all the things it needs to treat and set up isolation wards. Think about it. POTUS says all hospitals need one. Off to the races. I am adding to my position.
  • rtomczak: @rtomczak $BAX And it beat 3rd Qtr EPS estimates.
  • moneyHoHo: @rtomczak $BAX=Baxter?
  • rtomczak: $BAX - Adding to long term holding today. A great company that has everything sick people use, and people are still going to be sick. Companies that make things people really need will come out of this sell off in good shape.
  • steve71: @rtomczak Baxter splits into two companies in mid-2015. One is pharma and the other is medical products. Split is a tax free distribution of biopharma shares to the $BAX holders. Revenue growth is 16%. Using PE of 16x for medical, and 18x for pharma, eventual sum of the parts valuation is 90. Of course, that looks a bit optimistic today!
  • steve71: $IBB Biotech index down, but the heavies performing. $BIIB, $GILD, $CELG, $BAX all (currently) green. Also $MDT and $ISIS, but for other reasons.
  • Kelly: @1Boston330 $ISIS so far, so good. Kicked $BAX to the curb and opened up room for a new position. Don't have large positions in any one of these stocks. Have a basket $GILD, $CELG, $ABT, $ISIS and some $XLV. I manage this by the total $ allocated to the sector.

  • RedLeaf1: @Poet $SBUX $DIS $BAX $LO $MO $RAI $HOT Hi Poet. I am a long term holder in all of these, even when it means some pain like $SBUX because I believe in the long term strength of the company, but I do watch the companies closely. Best wishes.
  • steve71: $BAX - Coming off the bottom of a month long horizontal channel. In 2015, splits into a biopharma company and a medical products company. A Kass call. His sum of the parts target is 90. 2.7% yield while waiting.
  • RedLeaf1: @steve71 $BAX I am long at $72 and expect to hold through the split.
  • rtomczak: $MFA, $OXLC, $PDLI, $PHK, and $RCS are the only #yieldhogs I am holding. May actually roll proceeds fro $WIN, $TICC, and $PSEC sales into these stronger holdings. Adding to $BAX and $TBT on these pull backs as well. $TBT will be the big winner as interest rates rise.
