ELTP - Financials were good?
But, what does it really matter if it goes up $.25 or down $.25 this afternoon? This afternoon's price only matters to those looking to get in or out before the news.
What matters is approval or not. IMO that should radically adjust the price either way.
SARA $1.30 - Am holding. If she continues to go up, I'd like to say its because I'm smart, but we all know I blew that cover a while ago.
Am holding onto her until Tuesday because that's the earliest that I can sell her as I bought with funds from another stock. So, she'll settle then. Was hoping she'd make a move, just not that fast. Now if only her sister would follow (DARA).
Will hope she keeps on rolling until Tuesday, if not, then hope she's at least a little bit up still.
Will slowly exit as many as I can, to get back to mostly ALL cash, so I can start to day trade more.
Ok. As a website developer, I'm just always amazed at how a lot of these companies don't update their Press Releases, or put up links to their conferences/presentations a few days before, or the day of the event. I'll go to their site to find a link so i can listen to the presentation and nothing will be there and I'll have to find it elsewhere.
You would think so, on days like today especially. But they may not have web site peeps in house. So they may use an outside company, as such sometimes web site peeps are busy doing other things for other clients (or out to lunch).
I have no idea if their internal IT staff handles it or not. Just a thought. I would think that they have it all setup so that they can post immediately and have notified people ahead of time to be ready at a moments notice.
Sites can be setup so that CHTP staffers can login to use a content management system to post press releases themselves, or they may just send the info to the developer to update.
I've developed all different types. Whatever the customer wants :)
BOL to all.
SARA $1.15 - HOLDING above 50DMA (1.12), little volume though.
SARA broke through 50DMA two days ago, hugged it and stayed above yesterday in a Doji kinda way and is slightly above today. Still looking good for overall trend up and that round bottom that she had and is firming up. Damn, now that I look at it, it might be her left buttock and another two months before the right buttock is formed. I need to take my meds, i'm seeing things. :)
Conference on Feb 18/19. No idea how that will help the stock, but exposure is always good.
delete message...take it back :)
i'm a cubs fan. too long of history of ..oh well everyone knows.
not to mention the fact, that it may sell on the news too. so who knows. just seemed like worth the shot to me is all. may end up even.
NOOOO . Take it back. Please...please...please
One doesn't have to take a whole website down to update it. Just have to upload a few pages.
My guess is too much traffic is hitting their server which isn't designed to handle so much, with people looking for info, etc.
Bear Raid is my theory, gonna give it a ride see where it goes. It spiked up fast in the AM, then dropped like a brick. Not sure if halt did that, or ...it halted 3x, was very very confusing.
Am thinking ...news leaked, price goes up, MM's drop it for bear raid, shorts start to cover, Panic selling or stop losses, yada, yada. Cats and Dogs falling from the sky.
No idea if I'm right. If it tanks, i'm in trouble cuz its not settled $. So will have to wait a few days.
If its approved and pops up hard, will try and sell some covered calls then at some point.
Bought 500 more...around $4.66
Sold CBLI for $5 gain :) to use $. Should have listened to myself and waited, so I wouldn't have to use unsettled cash.
Was planning on selling CBLI today anyway, and was looking to sell 1 or 2 others. Market has just been booming so much, can't see it continuing like this for much longer. Needs some days to chill.
Am thinking so. Spike hard and fast, then halted. Then dropped huge and looks to be halted again.
Just bought
Shares: +500.000 Price: $4.237 Amount: -$2,126.45
I think its been halted again now too.

i may buy more
CHTP - Correction - Halted due to volatility and not news. Had a huge fast surge up, then surge down right after.

Hmmmmm
CHTP - Halted - news coming. I had just clicked buy at $4.95 when it was halted I guess seconds before. funny stuff.
i was only going to buy 300 shares. no biggie either way.
I find these types of posts interesting. Thank you.
MARKETS CLOSED MONDAY - REMINDER
All major U.S. stock markets will be closed on Monday February 17, 2014, in observance of President's Day.
CHTP $5.05 - Watching for possible entry if it falls to $4.90 or lower. If not, will probably leave it alone.
Today is supposed to be PDUFA day.
A lot of bad weather on East Coast. FDA web site states employees are on 2 hour delay to start work. So today would normally be a 'nervous' day for CHTP holders, but could be even more so do to weather and Monday the markets are closed for Presidents Day.
So watching...to see if something goofy happens before news breaks.
Also, may look into selling my first covered calls if I do buy CHTP. Am looking into calls out of the money and a month or two out.
hesse,
>>>CMXI - another Sheff. anytime stock trading below where Sheff bought it, would seem to be deal.
Heads up FYI: I have been watching CMXI as well...its tanking this AM, found a tweet or two from Jason Napadono re: CMXI...
@JNapodano
-Big seller in $CMXI this morning. Probably inside info on a financing. They have cash until March, so expect a raise VERY soon.
-After the $CMXI financing, do yourself a favor and pick up the shares. Go long into the Stroke trial data in May + top-line acceleration.
-$CMXI top-line is going to "hockey stick" in the coming quarters as both Angel and AutoloGel take off.

We got about a 1/2 inch today only. Have mounds and mounds outside for kids to play king of the hill upon and sled though.
Been the coldest and snowiest Winter that i can remember (combo of both that is). Have had most sub 0 days since record-keeping they say, and I think 5 foot of snow for season.
All this leads to me getting a lot of texts from my brother in Cali saying its 70 today. wanker.
RGDX - My dog and computer sold 2,000 @ $1.47. Whenever he whines to go out, something always seems to move (in either direction).
So placed a small trailing loss for 2,000 shares.
RESPONSE GENETICS INC COM 2,000.000 +$2,932.13 +$2,785.97 +$146.16
$146 profit.
Holding 5,000 shares from $1.39.
Yeah, been thinking about it, but would need another position to get moving to use those funds.
Also, it seems to like deep sea diving, thought maybe i'd wait until it hits a bunch of rocks and stumbles bounces along them for a while.
PIP Or not! Ned Wrong. I failed to check volume today. Hard to move on total volume of 20k so far. Pffft.
I actually saw it on your listing and took a look at the chart quickly today and liked it. But no available cash at moment.
I think we have to be more proactive and set tighter stops. Trust our instincts and charts and give it a go, and if it breaks the other way. Get out quick.
If history is a guide, more wins then losses, so should equal more $$ then losses that way.
Thoughts? Too many distractions in life? Fear? I always try and think myself...why?
Yeah, $heff just bought it.
>>> 7. ELTP and SARA... and IGXT and DARA when they bottom.
...And I thought you were a good guy :)
(kidding)
>>> CMXI - another Sheff. anytime stock trading below where Sheff bought it, would seem to be deal.
Yes, that's a theory that i like to play as well (for the few times it happens)
DARA - What the heck is wrong with her today? She just turned GREEN? I'm not used to that, LOL.
FYI: DARA bounced off the low of FEB 6/7. Let's see if she can hold that and make a turn up ...eventually.
PIP : Looks very good to me for a short term pop on the 15 Min chart. Short term POP meaning - now until Noon.
IMO - It may move up fast $.10.
Thank you for detailing your moves. It helps me to understand. Much appreciated.
Flipping a few times before May 29th, sounds about right.
Yup, was aware that earnings are supposed to be on 2/12/14 but the earnings date are always taken with a grain of salt, as many don't release on supposed time, etc.
My point was more of a Hmmmm, i wonder why i didn't see the earnings part in any of the stocktwits feeds, or other news feeds. I guess ADCOM info just trumped it, or I just missed it.
ETRM Reported Earnings Yesterday???
I didn't see this posted anywhere on any of my feeds (tweets, news, etc.)
Also they have an ATM in which they have used 13.5M of 20M available. That can squash any good news like yesterday also. Hmmmmmmmm. Have to rethink. Hmmm rethinking hurts...
link: http://www.streetinsider.com/Earnings/EnteroMedics,+Inc.+(ETRM)+Reports+Q4+Loss+of+$0.11/9156497.html
EnteroMedics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETRM) reported Q4 EPS of ($0.11), versus ($0.17) reported last year. Revenue for the quarter came in at $0 , versus $0 reported last year.

"As we announced early today, the U.S. FDA has scheduled an Advisory Panel meeting for May 29, 2014 to review our PMA application for approval of the Maestro System," said Greg S. Lea, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "Our primary focus remains on the regulatory process for VBLOC Therapy and preparing for a positive approval decision by FDA shortly after the Advisory Panel meeting."
DARA - Yesterday's offering announcement
Seems odd to me that warrants are for below current price. Offering closes Feb 18.
In theory, reverse split is done, offering is done (err - announcement done that is). For those like me, that are in it, and hit badly (-30%) the next week may be a bottom area, and for those looking to get in, you might want to watch for an entry.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (nyse mkt:LTS), acted as the sole placement agent in connection with the Offerings.
Workshop: You gave it a try, was worth finding out how it was. You were probably looking for more of the "power" info and advanced tips, and they probably did basics and looked for your $$$.
Some are probably better than others and maybe even 1 or 2 legit in that they are trying to find entry level traders for themselves, but most are probably looking to sell something or get your account in some way is my guess.

OT: My wife wanted to go to a timeshare presentation years ago, to get whatever free gift they were giving. I kept telling her how they were, and I told her I'd only go, if I can tell her repeatedly afterwards "I told you So." Was all promotion and rah rah cheering. They'd even pop balloons and all cheer when someone made a sale. Like I give a crap if the guy next to me buys a timeshare??? Was amazing how they played with emotions. Then when you finally turn them down for the 1,000 time, they ushered us quickly down 2-3 dingy hallways with unfinished drywall and out the back door with the paperwork for the free whatever it was.
20 years later, I still get to say "I told you so." Amazing that I'm still married...LOL.
Doing Ok with portfolio. Seemingly on the border of some POPS, but they just aren't ready, or won't go.
Was a flat day to slightly positive overall, and one head-scratcher, ETRM.
CBLI Up 5%, hanging/dangling feet at $.73 - was hoping for pop to $.80 as trade. May exit here on down market day, take small profit.
KIPS getting jiggy
RGDX trending up moving snail like until news/catalysts
SARA seduced me into moving in (always want the ones you can't have)
DARA did an offering - seems to be at same priceish as current price and warrants below? I have to review more
ETRM - Just goes to show you that there's a lot of psychology in stocks. ETRM finally announces an ADCOM, and there's sell on the news. I get that. It had been down a lot recently, so people looking to get out that were down at the higher price, or others looking to get some profits. But this is good news, with potential for better news in an approved PDUFA. I wouldn't think that it would be RED for the day and close lower then the last 3 trading sessions. I bought in yesterday thinking that the selling was near done and over the next few days it will start a slow move up. IMO the ADCOM date is too far (May) and traders don't want to keep their money tied up that long as one reason.
-----------------------------------------
FEB Goal: $6,052 : Feb Realized : $464.10
Only two closed trades in Feb so far:
MSTX: +476, IPCI: -$12
awesome. let's hope this settles here and makes a move over the next few days after people sell and others see opportunity. That's my hope at least.
cool. at least now I know it's not where your dog poops :) unless your dog is always like the Octopus that can pick the Superbowl winners.
Not knocking it, what works for you is great. Was just referring to anyone that makes a post like that and without any other info. It just can't be taken seriously.
Best of luck to us all.
It does what many do, and sold on the news. It had been down a lot recently so people looking to get some money back that they lost is one possible reason.
Many people were expecting the ADCOM news to come a month or two ago.
Looks like some support here at $2.15ish. We'll see if that holds.
What does your secret source say now?
Watchlists??? What is on your watchlists peeps?
Anyone have any they think are solid? We're always looking for ones (mostly big boards, and not too many OTC's). We lean to bios only because they've been good to us, but will take any sector.
