  • unlikeyou1: $VNDA looks promising, could someone give it a second look? It appears it built a base for awhile (albeit, a volatile one). @dan @scotttrades
  • audrina0904: Stocks running on my watch list for better entries $CHGG $TWLO $TNDM $VNDA $PYPL $PLNT
  • debeers:
    $VNDA-Long Form
    $VNDA=Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on the development and commercialization of therapies to address unmet medical needs. Its product portfolio includes HETLIOZ (tasimelteon), Fanap ...
  • debeers: $ADBE/$AMZN/$BA/$CYBR/$MSFT/$VNDA- Tech has been the most punished and it will respond the fastest. $AMZN- I think this is by far the most diversified of the internet marketing machines and medium sized businesses have it as a lifeline, not an impediment.
  • debeers: @bRobert $IBB $LABU $UNH --So glad to see you again! Only have one in the biotech group: $VNDA
  • audrina0904: $VNDA - Still in buy range...stop around 21.60, or tighter around 22.30 if your risk appetite is smaller
  • audrina0904: @Aragorn $vnda $NVDA - This is hilarious! It didn't even occur to me that they were so close as I had completely written off $NVDA some time ago...Honest mistake and yes, spot on on $NVDA....BUT $VNDA, that thing is a roller..
  • audrina0904: $VNDA - Acting very well again today, no serious early panic selling...RS line breaking into new highs...exactly what I like to see.
  • CHOFF: @audrina0904 $VNDA - Exactly what I'd like to see is the ascent as steep as the descent. Fat chance eah;)
  • audrina0904: @CHOFF $VNDA - LOL are you referring to $NVDA and not $VNDA?
  • CHOFF: @audrina0904 $VNDA $NVDA Ha - yep, inverses abound...even the ticker symbols;) My eyes are seeing what they want vs what is.
  • audrina0904: $vnda - still looking very good
  • Aragorn: @audrina0904 $vnda Why is it looking good. looks like a short to me off he declining 8ema n a 15 minute chart out side 15 now inside 15 setting up for continuation down IMO. It is important to look on multiple time frames. Of course this is my opinion based on my opinion take it for what it s worth. One more thing, I am open to be wrong and reverse my short term opinion which is all this is.
  • Pcdentist: @audrina0904 $vnda If stays above VWAP
  • audrina0904: @Aragorn $vnda - this is just my opinion...but I think you are getting too cute in the analysis. We broke out in this name a few days ago on huge volume, it’s now creating a higher consolidation in a nasty market on very much declining volume. With a stop a couple points below, I see high upside.
  • Aragorn: @audrina0904 $vnda later I looked I thought you were talking about $NVDA that is what my Dyslexic mind saw My analysis on NVDA was flawless by the way, but not on VNDA so I apologize. That said I am looking at ti now we have an outside day rising 8ema support and no reason to shy away from it long term as the weekly chart and monthly are clearly in an uptrend. On any weakness look for it to hold and take some more. Good luck.
  • audrina0904: $vnda Stock to watch
  • traderbren: $VNDA - NP, but just came across it. Looks constructive based on today's hammer. Thinly traded.
  • numbers:
  • Bridget: $RAX - should have bought this one when my alert went off yesterday, nice move $NOMD - solid move out of this base $GES - gap and hold above the 200MA $YRD - good buy point $CDE - shot across the bow $WMT & COST - not looking good $DFT - same here $DG & $DLTR - could turn into great buying opportunities once the dust settles $HPQ - big reversal, bullish move $XOM - in a squeeze $VNDA - cup pattern on the weekly IP, WRK KS PKG - all breaking out on news of price hike $HZN - ipo, new all time high $ON - nice uptrend $PII - 50, 200 and lower BB all right below the current price $BSX - in a squeeze $ATVI - I like this right here, buy calls or covered calls
  • janner0814: $PTCT Interesting spike move. Still have vivid memories of $VNDA (which is doing better AFTER I got rid of it... lol ). Mr. Market tried to shake me out of $SN; however, I just ignored the noise and went out for a run. Made up some of yesterday's lost ground (yes... I see that shooting star... lol)
  • janner0814: Used this momo to cut some risk in $FANG (BUPS); still long the covered stock. $VNDA (I'm not waiting for my stop to fire; don't want to be assigned for now). Feel "lighter" :-)
  • janner0814: @jan2138 Thanks! I've got a couple of stocks that have lately been higher maintenance $VNDA $FANG. So $VGR was a gift coming off a lower channel. Funny how it works. After my purchase of $VGR, I might have made some of the my best trades in the past two weeks. So I have $VGR & you to thank for the blessing, calm & sanity. If and when $VGR hits OHR, I might be writing calls against it for added income. Just gotta make sure I don't get called out on part of my long term position, e.g. $MU :-( and a few others.... Thanks again! ;-)
  • janner0814: @NapoleonSolo $VNDA Yes a real Stinker, need to soak this in some $CLX that would've even more putrid, if I didn't have a short call on it... even then it's still a loss. If it climbs, I'll see if I can sell a few more calls against stock.
  • NapoleonSolo: $VNDA more toxic waste in the biotech sector ...down over 20 % on release.....stock cut in half in ~6 weeks
  • dockurland: $VNDA--I have been long this for a while. It has been running with some rumors of a buyout. Wondering about others opinions on the chart for the last few days. Today especially.

  • ccrown4: $CERS @woodman Good Morning. I think @Scott $M has been hitting it rich with the Bakers play. I got in late but happy I got in. Others in their bag are $HALO, $VNDA, and XOMA. Are you in any of these? Have a good day.

  • erdruido: $VNDA - FDA Approves HETLIOZ# (tasimelteon) for the Treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. At +10% might have a little more to go.
  • scottto: $VNDA - PDUFA - This is baked in, I have to think. I'm thinking a sell-the-news event perhaps. Nice option premiums however. Feb $13 calls selling for about $1.60. Nice 15% pop for 2 weeks work. Plus would give an immediate cost basis of $11.40 if you wanted a reduced cost basis for the long term trades.
  • GOOSE: The fate of all in Bulls, no money to play until expiration. No trades yesterday, and only one today. $VNDA BTO $VNDA STOCK @ 13.14 1/10 POSITION. Couldn't even MAMBO it. Thank you Trisha, looks like a good stock to MAMBO. HONK, HONK.
  • GOOSE: $VNDA @ scotto You used to be one of my best sources, for my COMBO M trades, with your " contrary trade" plays. You called it something else, but I don't remember what it was. Haven't seen such a post in a while. You don't expect me to do my own research, do you? ; >) @GOOSE

  • mtnman: $VNDA -Lazard raises price target to 17, Jefferies raises target to 7. Hmmmm....closed at 5.50 yesterday - wish I had some.
  • CallaLilly: Good morning. All of this good news ... and perhaps a new Rembrandt found. I'm seeing lots of upgrades, things are just better. An eye on $VNDA (well, it is a biotech but it had jumped on success from about 1.00 to about 16.00 on success - in a gap - and settled around 11. Now with a 20. target this morning.) - it may move well today.
  • CallaLilly: $VNDA, $VVUS, $DNDN, HGSI - very nice. $SVA %^%&$*()() as usual. $ZIOP, a little one, is nice. They're getting attention, they really really are.
  • CallaLilly: $VNDA - naughty, naughty biotech. I bought today, placed a proper stop and as it flooded down, I realized (don't laugh, there is such a thing) it was toying with its two day support or low. I removed that stop so fast and lickety split it went up.
    ...
  • shifty: Short interest, 59 Min Traders - @Dan said not to short stocks with a high short interest. What "percent of float" or "days to cover" is considered too high to short? Took the short on the $VNDA gap up (17.88% short interest, 5.6 days to cover). 17.88% seems high...looks like I got away with breaking the rule this time.
  • CallaLilly: $VNDA - nice upgrade to 28. target - big reward, not moving of course. $SKS - sold out yesterday ... down with market, expectations. Just thinking too many things are trending dulling, downward. I think Suzie's note last night about sometimes stepping away was totally on target ... thanks for the reminder.
  • ntheway: Lilly- when this $VNDA makes an upturn, would you jump in a bit? Sks is up too far to chase? Let me know what you think
  • CallaLilly: ntheway - I started $VNDA, having much more patience for pharma than other sectors (building a basket, hoping for ten or so longs for the longer - event/trials - run because of such strong potential). $SKS and $MEA (sigh) are up and I only buy on dow ...
  • jb130: Market is higher? Nasdaq down 30 at time of the post and dow is now down 60 Good thing I don't care about the "market" $VNDA annoyed me today. Saw it yesterday on volume spike but did not like the overhead gap. Market of stocks not a stock market I guess
