My wife's cold sore is non existent after taking V for a year now. So many things to test V for.
Had to refill Rx from Cigna and it now required prior authorization. Last year, it didn't require it.
No biggie, called the doc and said i need PA, and it was done. Took 2 days. Cigna sent me a letter a week later saying i am approved for another year.
Went to walmart, paid $9 for 90 day supply.
PA isn't as bad as I thought it might be.
FYI, Walmart has generic synthroid 90 day supply for $10 cash. No insurance is needed.
with insurance it was $30 for 3 month, i asked them what the cash price was and they said $10 for 3 month. I said, duh.. do cash!

Welcome back, I've missed ya! I always appreciated the hard work you done for us for yearssssssssssss. Enjoy today's 2 news.
Congratulations. Epanova failed.
After the trial, I was betting STRENGTH TRIAL was going to be used to kill our PPS. Now the trial is the only thing left.

Assuming we win the generic case and the year is 2029. TEVA is about to make generics in AUG of 2029. We get a new indication in April of 2029. Does that delay the TEVA launch by 3 years?
You can click "next 10" and it shows the next 10 messages in full. It did not work previously as it said you had to be a paid member. All of a sudden, it started to work.
all of a sudden i can read 10 postings in a row? on a free account?
I am pretty sure some sells are people like me who were forced to sell due to option being exercised automatically.
I got assigned 50k shares @ 22.00. I had to get rid of this in the premarked which took 8 separate transactions. Took awhile but managed to sell around 25.75 avg. sold as high as 26.65s all the way to 25.00.
Will probably buy back in 3 days once it settles, or add to my leaps.
Even with that huge win (around 200k), I am still down big today... arghhh.
as I type, it is 22.16. WOW.
I just picked up my 90 day supply again for $9 using insurance and the savings card. It works with insurance for sure.
thanks. as far as selling this week, this is what i always think to myself (kinda my motto at stocktwits), If BP is going to buy us out, is it above the current stock price?
answer is obviously yes, hence i feel very comfortable in holding this till the end, which i hope is pretty soon (as in 1st half of 2020).
In hindsight it worked out well, it could of been a disaster. Your style is much better suited in the long run, which i will strive to achieve. I admire you and your conviction. Love your twits, esp the friday end of day one
Simple strategy that worked for me constantly for AMRN in building up shares.
when we shoot up rapidly, i sell off some (most i ever sold was 20k out of 100k+ shares) and then wait. Surely enough it goes back down.
On the down down days like Oppenheimer $7 target or ADcom announcement, i would buy Calls (mostly leaps) and some shorter term calls or do credit put spreads. Surely enough, it goes back up and it usually doubles or even triples. Then i sell the calls and convert to shares. If it goes up from there, great! my shares are very happy.
For example:
When we shot up to 24 and change right after 16-0 votes, i sold 20k shares and waited. surely enough, dumb oppenheimer caused it to go down big. I bought bought back 20k shares, and then bought 1000 contracts of last friday's 22 strike at 70 cents. sold half at $2, and other half is converted into 50k shares. I will sell those for it seems like 27s to possible more, making 8 fold possibly. then slowly i add to my base shares on morning dips that always occurs.
this has allowed me to roughly double my share count so far in a year from 70k to 140k shares.
On the following days when ADCOM was announced, i was fortunate to pick up 1000 calls for 2021 $15 calls at 6.50, and that is now well over double as well. (i posted all of these trades in stocktwits live) if you feel like checking up on me.
That said, I will stop doing this as I found out last friday i coulda been xxxxed had we received CRL and i was on hook for 50k shares exercised at 22. Of course i was 99.9% sure we would receive good news, but after discussing with many people, it isn't necessary to take that big of a risk with a portfolio this size. Maybe i grew up too poor and am too gready. but having multi million is kinda changing me now.
From here and on, i will just hold the leaps and shares as i think big dip days are over.
God bless!
Yes, i got email today.

It is their policy that they follow OCC rules and regulation.
OCC policy is that they automatically exercise all contracts in the money.
Yea, imagine if we got CRL and we tanked to $5. I would be on the hook for a lot of money. Lessen learned. Do not carry till end of the contract day incase of a halt.
thanks~! in hindsight i shouldn't have sold the other half. could of should of.
I hadn't thought of that.. wow. I need to thank him i guess???? HaHaHa!
Of note, DEC 12 option got exercised automatically since it was in the money. Just got an email from broker regarding it (huge relief)
I was worried they might xxxx me over it, but they exercised it for me.
AS it turned out, halt was great or I would of sold it at end of Friday for a lesser gain.

Wow, you are awesome. How are you JT?
Kevin, yea i talked to them. they said they will have to wait for instructions for the option clearing house, but they said it was in the money so it should be safe.. but they won't say for sure.
WTF? i told them about the contra thing you said, they have no idea what that is.. wow! time to look for new broker or get ready for lawsuit after checking with other brokers.
im talking to the broker, they put me on hold for longgggggggggggg time.. checking with their bossesssss i guess.
today, i had 1000 call options 22 strike. bought at 70 cents sold half at $2.
What will happen to my other 500 call options if market doesn't reopen?
never had stock halted on a friday when i had options that expire the same day.
It is in the money... anyone?
Tha k you very much.
Chase and goldman in on the deal. Expect coverage from them as well. Good time to add if you have any that is
thank you Sam!!!!
As always thanks!
Ahhhhhh...haven't done that in awhile lol. Moving out of CA to WA last few days. Kinda semi retiring... btw...unlike others I quite enjoy your Monday BO chats. Thanks.
All time high and way more to go. Thanks all.
How one can be wrong so many times over..... dunce hat on the corner
Wow. Sam, thank you! Wowwowoowwoowowo!
Thank you yet again. I appreciate it.
I'm thinking 135 per ADA.
Thanks for the good write up. I suspect buyout chatter will start once FDA approves this. We are near the bottom. Even the last hit piece was a temporary blip. Only thing that worries me is that by the time we get approved, we will have nothing solved on the tariff with China (along with 25% on all items) and Mexico (same 25% by October).
Even knowing this, I know this is going much much higher in couple of years.
Cheers!
ahhh.. lets hope we pass end of may!
This particular study was post hoc, just comparing reduceit population, without the usage of vascepa. They found 19 percent more cvd events for the group with higher trigs vs lower trigs on reduceit population verifying that reduceit data is solid.
