Damn shame about ATHX...I really thought they had something there. Oh well. Down over 50% premarket.
Just wanted to say hi to the board...Ive started accumulation on this stock. But I was curious..how is the 20billion dollar market for Bezalip calculated? Thats pretty big.
Long 500 INTM options 7.50 Aug 2014
With Baker Brothers backing, this is as sure a thing as you're going to get. They went long 65million dollars and my guess is they will go longer upon approval, hence locking down a significant portion of the float.
$CERS Under the radar stock!!
Take a look at CERS
FDA approval (or denial) imminent (literally any day now)
Product is already approved and being used in Europe and Japan now for several years. The FDA allowed them to fore-go any phase 1,2,3 requirements and allowed them to use the accumulated data from their current database.
Baker Brother just grabbed 8.5million shares at a cost basis of 63million dollars. http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/cers/institutional-holdings
68% institutionally owned.
Virtually no insider sales within the last year.
If this gets approved (The end of Feb will put the decision in the 90day approval window) this wont be one of those stocks that goes up and flounders down (CHTP ehem ehem). It will continue to move.
A no brainer if I ever saw one.
I think it not be a bad idea to go to all cash at this point. VIX is up and with the FEDs saying they are going to ease up on QE buying, this might be the start of something very ugly. But wait long enough and some incredible deals might be had once the smoke clears.
Anyone watching GTXI?? Wow! 8 times normal volume and up 20% (to include after hours) with no news? huge buy after hours of 507,000 shares. Definitely put it on your radar for Monday.
Was that in the alert? I apologize. I didnt see it there. My mistake.
JAZZ .50 into 90 dollars or 10,000 into 1.8 million in less than 5 years. And it was recommended to me at .50 cents by a co-investor. No I didnt get into it but he did get about 10,000 shares that he still has to this day. Shoulda woulda coulda hell yes.
Just thank god you were not in ARIA. Some people lost their life savings in that nightmare.
Priceline..seems like a classic takedown before earnings and then BOOM! Just like they did Google.
IDRA HALO GTXI..all with alot insider buying within the last several months. Follow the insider buying!!
HALO will be bought out soon enough if you have patience
IDRA..long term but their psoriasis drug is a game changer
GTXI..issued out that their primary drug didn't meet primary endpoint set by the FDA for phase 3(but did meet EMEA endpoints)(so stock tanked) but did in fact have a large survival increase factor. Insiders bought hand over fist after it tanked, as in millions of shares, and they are moving forward with FDA and EMEA application. GTXI being the highest risk but also has the the highest potential. IDRA and HALO also have the Baker brothers fund behind them (one of the best biotech hedge funds in the business..they have the midas touch)

Hope this helps.
If it makes anyone feel any better my guess..... all margin calls have been made (forced)so I doubt that there will be THAT downward pressure on Monday. I have been margin called before on drops like this and it was an automatic forced cover. At least with TD ameritrade, my stock would have been sold at market with a drop like this, right out from under me. They wouldnt have even waited to give me a chance to cover on Monday. I have been in this business for a long time. I dont have a dime in this company, (I switched to the options dark side a long time ago) but my unbiased guess is this stock will recover quicker than many think here. Months..not years. Easy 4 bagger here.
On that note, ARIA has somewhat of a cult following. Your mistake was watching a stock go from 2 to 25 dollars and sticking with it. Of course, then you wouldnt have made the 100's of thousands of dollars or millions that some of you seem to have made and now lost. But all this time that you stayed in this stock , there were so many other stocks that you could have played, with the incredible profits made here over the last 2 years.
First of Im really sorry to hear about some of your losses here. Sounds like some of you had a substantial amount invested. I have been in this boat to some degree and one very very valuable lesson over the years is follow the inside money. Its one of many indicators I use buts its the main one. I read the filed secuity forms religously. If insiders have been selling within the last 3-6 months then I stay away....period. If they are buying then I dig deeper and start from there. Its the first rule I follow. I have always been an ARIA fan and its one stock I come back to in IHUB just to see hows its doing, and was shocked by the share price, since I hadnt looked at it in a few months. Rule number one: Follow what the insiders do. lotta rules after that but that is my first rule. Anyway, I hope you guys recover. I did.
Sheff, GTXI on a roll. Keeps going up every week about 17% for the last three weeks. Read my previous posts. This is a screaming buy at these levels. Float has been locked up and had a huge short interest. It will continue to go up.
where did everyone go?? Not a single post on this board all day. Wow..anyway, I ask again, does anyone have a link to the recent webcast they did? Thanks
Anyone have a link to the webcast? GTXI homepage said it would be available simultaneously but I cant find it anywhere.
That article just qouted other articles that misinterpreted the results. Insiders bought over 4 million shares since the drop, via direct market shares and trusts. Read the S13d's man!
This Amendment No. 4 is filed to amend certain items of the Schedule 13D filed by the reporting persons on March 16, 2011, as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1 also filed on March 16, 2011, (ii) Amendment No. 2 filed on March 2, 2012 and (iii) Amendment No. 3 filed on June 15, 2012 (as amended by the three amendments, the “ Schedule 13D ”).
This Amendment No. 4 reflects the purchase of 2,078,668 shares of GTx, Inc. common stock (“ GTx common stock ”) subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 3. These shares consist of 403,368 shares purchased by Jack W. Schuler on August 20, 21 and 22, 2013 (and reported on Forms 4 filed on August 22 and 26, 2013) and 1,675,300 shares purchased by the Schuler Family Foundation on August 19 and 20, 2013.
The are two 13D's. Just read them. They also havent posted their webcast yet from the conference yesterday but the minute they finished with their conference the stock shot up all day and ended up 23%. I get it, the Fool can be a good source of info but they were just regurgatating misinterpreted data. But hey, to each his own. Im not here to convince anyone....but this shoots past 5dollars in less than two weeks! lol (okay that might be somewhat exuburiant thinking) But seriously, you are going to let one small article from the Fool keep you out a stock that will see a short squeeze that will be the short squeeze of the year?
Im surprised no one is mentioning the huge insider buys. I dont mean the Form4's either. Read the 13d's closely.
this paragraph sticks out:
This Amendment No. 4 is filed to amend certain items of the Schedule 13D filed by the reporting persons on March 16, 2011, as amended by (i) Amendment No. 1 also filed on March 16, 2011, (ii) Amendment No. 2 filed on March 2, 2012 and (iii) Amendment No. 3 filed on June 15, 2012 (as amended by the three amendments, the “ Schedule 13D ”).

Schuler on August 20, 21 and 22, 2013 (and reported on Forms 4 filed on August 22 and 26, 2013) and 1,675,300 shares purchased by the Schuler Family Foundation on August 19 and 20, 2013.
Looks like Schuler picked up 1.6 million shares via a trust. Sly little devil that Schuler. Why is this not being mentioned? Essentially the insiders are locking down the float. With shortsqueeze.com showing a short% of 30% and an 8 day cover, this will be a battle that the shorts will lose. They will be covering for the rest of the week and probably next, as they get margin calls. just my 2 cents. If I read the form 13's wrong please let me know.
Sheff, ya gotta alert your guys to GTXI! Going much much higher. Its going to make ACAD look like chump change. They just did a conference presentation at Stifel Nicolaus 2013 Healthcare Conference and it shot up 23% yesterday on 4 times normal volume. The Enobosarm results were misunderstood and everyone bailed. The results were actually pretty good . Trust me, this goes much higher. 30% of the float is being caught short and insiders are locking down more than 70% of the float. With an 8 day short cover , and heavy hitters from the inside buying shares (read the S13D's and S4 very carefully. They have purchased close to 4 million shares in the last MONTH direct from the market.
GTXI..up big today
UPB....you still in for the USO and UCO options? Or did you get out with a decent gain?
UPB....you still in for the USO and UCO options? Or did you get out with a decent gain?
No worries, but as I stated, I meant to say UCO. Not USO. USO is fine also , but USO is not a double (2X) Ultra ETF..UCO is. if you are going to bet that oil is going to go up, which it is as I write this, why not get into an Ultra ETF? UCO is up in premarket almost 3%..USO is up 1.29%. UCO goes up twice as fast since its a Ultra Long 2X ETF. Best of luck and sorry for any confusion.
I have to apologize..my post were made in the morning (Im in Europe or theareabouts)so I was just getting my coffee in. I meant to post about UCO not USO. UCO is the one Im in..its Ultra 2X long Oil ETF. USO is not an Ultra ETF. However, if you are going to play the oil option play, UCO is a better play since its Ultra 2X long and will have twice the movement,. Again, I am long UCO.
Might want to hold off on the USO calls..man, the chart is coming back down quickly. Anyway, up to you..I just didnt want to give anyone bad advice.
Take a look at this chart, seriously USO is about to explode ..Im telling ya! http://www.cx-portal.com/wti/oil_en.html Oil up 3 dollars today....thats before the shit has even hit the fan.
He is pretty good..I will have to give him that. Im in 100 USO calls strike 39 expire October. Got in late (yesterday morning) so I paid a nice premium but it will be worth it.
Make sure you have the 1 min display option selected http://www.cx-portal.com/wti/oil_en.html Like I said..straight up. USO will open jump higher in premarket.
Deleted message
Im making no predictions on how high USO can go but that was an EXCELLENT choice UPB. You can track all oil prices here
http://www.cx-portal.com/wti/oil_en.html
One word...holysheeet!! Futures speculators are going to SQUEEZZZE this rock for every drop of water they can. Obama will most likely order a strike on Syria and hurricane season is upon us (usually also a good time for oil prices to spike) The WTI Crude oil price chart is literally going straight up. The beauty of this is you can track oil prices 24hours a day since its trades against other markets. Do not sell early on this one. Strike is supposed to happen in the next couple of days and if Egypt threatens the straight of Hormuz its going to get ugly.
Wow..he has been pretty busy buying up shares. Close to 400,000 thousand shares in the last week alone. hmmmmm
thanks.. I'll email them monday to see if I can get some clarification...disclosure..took a long position today .
Have a question for the board. I notice that on the website for this company as well as articles on several sites, there is no Phase 2 being listed anywhere for Rexista. A phase one is mentioned and then its Phase 3. asked this question on the latest seeking alpha article but no one answered. What am I missing? Is it because its a generic that a phase 2 isnt required? Are these FDA clinical trials? Or is this a typo?
Qoute from Zacks:
The data from the phase I study of Rexista oxycodone in comparison with Purdue Pharma LP’s OxyContin was positive. The data revealed that a single dose of 40 mg Rexista oxycodone was bio-comparable to 40 mg OxyContin. OxyContin is approved for the management of moderate to severe pain when a continuous, around-the-clock opioid analgesic is needed for an extended period of time.
Intellipharmaceutics intends to seek a Special Protocol Assessment from the FDA for assistance in conducting a pivotal phase III study on Rexista oxycodone. Intellipharmaceutics also has plans to look for a licensing partner for the phase III studies.
Additional phase I studies are expected by the fourth quarter of 2013, and Intellipharmaceutics expects to commence phase III studies by the first half of 2014.
Thanks
lotta lurkers on this board..dont worry the chatter will pick up soon. But for now I agree..its a dead board.
TGT Target..Bought 100 Aug 23 62.5 puts at .10 Will miss earnings on 21 Aug which leaves 2 extra days for the downslope.
Great looking company. I'm curious, are they going to have to do trials for Bezalip in the US (possibly a confirmatory phase 3?). Just wondering how long it would take them to get Bezalip to the US market. This looks like a minature JAZZ in the making. JAZZ had the same type of business model and look where they are now.
Came across this company while looking at the clinical trial.gov website. Is this company worth looking at? Yahoo shows it only having a several million share float with what appears to be some major catalysts coming up and huge insider buying. Can any old timers fill me in on this company? I cant seem to find a lot of info..weird, whats the catch? Looks too good to be true.
Thanks...( I missed ACAD. Bought at 5 but didnt hold long enough)
I have been searching and searching all social media sites but haven't come up with any further testimonies. But I will continue.
Reddit, twitter, facebook,..gotta be someone out there. I will post what I find.
Featured on Cramer today. http://www.thestreet.com/story/12001337/1/5-biotech-stocks-under-10-making-big-moves.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO
Things should get interesting. If anything play for some short term gains but could be huge in the long run:
My previous post yesterday:
15 billion dollar potential market for just one indication is alot of potential. Sheff, what are your thoughts on ATHX?
ATHX: Current price 1.69 Float 54.00M Short float: 1.9 %
Upcoming catalysts:
The first clinical trial is MultiStem for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) where results are expected 4th quarter of 2013, and the second clinical trial is MultiStem for Ischemic Stroke and results are expected the first half of 2014.
Did a little investigating and here are my findings. Not much but this stocks upside potential is ridiculous if the trials are successful.
Current trials
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=athersys
Study to Examine the Effects of MultiStem in Ischemic Stroke
Safety Study of AMI MultiStem® to Treat Heart Attacks
Safety Study of MultiStem® in Patients With Acute Leukemia, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, or Myelodysplasia
A Study To Investigate The Safety And Possible Clinical Benefit Of Multistem(r) In Patients With Moderate To Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Safety Study of Multipotent Progenitor Cells for Immunomodulation Therapy After Liver Transplantation
Potential monetization of their MULTISTEM system:
"Ischemic stroke represents a major unmet need - and annual market opportunity of more than $15 billion" on just the Stroke indication ALONE
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1305311-athersys-inc-has-blockbuster-potential
Did a little digging on trial patients results to see if I could dig up anything on the internet.
Sometimes if you dig deep enough you can find patients who have posted their improvements (or non improvements) when involved in trials. (I should be a detective) I did a Google search with the following string "who has been involved in clinical trial NCT01240915"
Here is what I came up with. Two posters on the site http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1950504 do seem to have been involved in the trial or know people that have.
One poster from Nov 2010 said " Interesting! My GP told me he had a patient who was in a stem cell drug trial and that it really worked on her UC!". Thats around the same time the trials started. Link is here: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=1950504
Another said: "I have UC and I'm currently involved with multistem trials in Miami, Fl. I was given 2 different infusions one in Nov 2012 (I think that was a placebo) then again in January 2013. Every one I've heard about has improved a lot including myself. My quality of life is a lot better I can eat fruits and vegetables and I have to lose weight. I don't know how long it lasts, they use adult stem cells and they are mixed with other things that are kind of creepy. The company is called Athersys they are in Ohio and Belgium. So far I believe this is the best and safest way to go." Link is here: http://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=2767751
I am now trying to find other posters that have been involved with the trial for Ischemic Stroke which is really the huge money maker in my opinion. Trial info can be found here: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01436487?term=athersys&rank=1
I will post my findings to see if I can find any patients enrolled in trial NCT01436487 for stroke victims.
This is a high risk stock but some of the things I like about it that fit my basic criteria for buying into a stock:
Fairly low float but not so low to stifle volume
Management seems well accredited
Low short position
High Institutional Ownership of over 40%
Accredited Management team
Hope you like my research
