Looks like the price wants to stay above $22 today. They have an hour to change that, though.
Any thoughts on how the election affects Amarin share price next week?
I have some 11/9 21 and 21.5 calls expiring Friday, and thinking of selling Monday or Tuesday, as I worry that whatever the outcome there will be a lot of noise put out Tuesday evening that may rattle markets Wednesday. I don't think the noise will lat, but it could affect prices and drop my calls out of the money...
Just curious if anyone else is giving this any thought.
staccani, part of the beauty of the med diet is that she understands that fear is not the best long term motivator. That's why she entices, saying, "Come in, have a glass of red wine while I fix a nice pasta dish with olive oil and garlic, some aubergine, a few anchovies in the sauce..."
Of course, she then tries to dissuade you from the tiramisu, and she has her ways...
I've seen it. Seems actionable. I think this handle may be the instigator:
amarin fraud twit
Account created in Feb 2017 (what was going on in 2017 to instigate creation of this? When did the ITC action commence?) No tweets until today, except one retweet of an SEC antifraud message in April 2017...
Looking at the retweeters, lots of folks from Italy. Is there a competitor in an Italian BP or DS that might appreciate this? Just trying to think about who has motive. And the retweeters are an eclectic bunch. REtweeters *look* real, and if so are easily addressed through legal means, but who knows. So many tweet-bots these days, and 20 months is a lot of time to create--or buy--a bot army...
I think it's definitely actionable as it stands. Plus I wonder if it was done by a short or someone trying to impact price or damage Amarin.
No selective memories, but took most of my expanded AMRN net worth and transferred it to calls the first few days after 9/24. My original cost basis, counting everything, was almost exactly $4. But I used AMRN $$ to buy more AMRN, which then doubled or more again in most cases...until yesterday and today.
Nobody told me calls could go down lol
Kiwi,
I was up over 1400% briefly yesterday morning. Now up about 917%.
That's from the beginning of September; haven't checked it against my cost basis, but it's likely roughly half that.
I've been pretty aggressive with calls; the action this week has made that more interesting. I sense some opportunity, but clearly risk is part of the risk/reward equation.
Sounds like an interesting wine, Nuke. Made a few myself over the years, but never prickly pear...
Chas, I know Dr. Easterbrook, and he's a good guy. But he's not a climatologist, and IIRC his speculation regarding the causes and where we'd be now are way off from reality.
I know folks that do serious atmospheric science, and they're of all political stripes. Probably Libertarian as much as anything. They'd largely agree that most of the cause is not man-made, but they'd also share that the man-made stuff is what we can do something about--and what's putting us out of the relative equilibrium we've been in for most of human history.
It's not simply an anomaly that 17 of the 18 warmest years in recorded history have all occurred since the year 2000. Friends at Taylor Shellfish, one of the larger growers of oysters in the US, now raise their much, I think most, of their seedstock (that's what the oyster larvae are called in the industry) in Hawaii, where upwelling currents reduce the acidication effects felt in many other areas as a consequesnce of climate change. The small change in acidification affects the ability of the larvae to develop viable shells; much more pH change will affect every shellfish's ability to have a shell, as they will simply dissolve in the more acidic water.
Almost all the scientists working in the field in the area of climate science agree on the reality. Of the few who do not, most are employed by companies or think-tanks wedded to change not having a significant human component.
Trying; I did an EFT last night, but looks like it won't clear until this afternoon. Find myself in the odd spot of hoping the price drops a bit more tomorrow
Hawk, it struck me as bizarre, too. So bizarre I'm thinking of tapping a HELOC a little to pick up more calls first thing tomorrow. Have some 11/9 22s that suddenly dropped from $2.50 to $1.10 or so, then closed at $1.20. I have a lot of 11/23 22s that at first were holding up. At first I was mad at the games, and a bit confused, but then thought through what I know, and more good news coming out today, and decided that the 11/9 22s look like a steal. Tried to sell some of the 11/23s to get a 3:1 swap, but then I found myself chasing the bid down a rabbit hole, and canceled rather than give shares away with the games they were playing.
Hence the idea of tapping the HELOC. Borrow a couple Gs, nothing too much, buy the 11/9 22s tomorrow and sell in a week. I'll sleep on it tonight, but likely buy something; the disconnect between price and value--and impending catalysts--is too great to pass on at the moment.
But hard to overcome the thought I must be missing something.
Jt,
Euglena are a class of single-cell protozoans that have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, like plants, but also move around--they have flagellae--and consume food made by other beings, like animals. They produce a significant amount of 'fish oil'-type oils, but have traditionally been difficult to grow, as they need a pretty pure environment.
Reading up on the Euglena company, what started as a college research effort seems to have grown into a company that has found a way to economically grow euglenas (euglenae?) to harvest and fraction out into commodoties, including spirulina-type 'superfood' powder as an ingredient in health food smoothies, and oil fractions, including EPA.
Don't know if it will be viable over time or not, but intriguing if they can make it work. Worth paying attention to, imo...
The Euglena Company
Thanks, BB, for bringing this to the Board's attention.
Okay, that worked, if that's what you tried to share on the earlier post, BB. Great stuff; thanks.
BB, I see a lot of different bits of info, but none about Vascepa or Amarin. Am I missing something?
Well, at least 2/3 are tied to V.Not sure about Miller, and too lazy at the moment to research it. Bhatt and Ballantyne alone are sufficient to make me very happy!
Mateo,
I know enough about the fish oil business to know who would know the answers. There is not a supply problem. Read Sonam Kapoor's posts to get a feel for this.
There may be a short-term ramping up issue near term, but companies like Nissui are already ramping up--and started ahead of top-line reporting, which was among the strongest bullish indicators I saw, and when I relaxed a bit ahead of readout.
Laissez les bon temps roulez!
Kiwi,
I think I understand what you said here, but assuming things hasn't always led to accurate interpretations in the past...
Very impressive, North. Only nine of 45 pickers are above water. Looks like only Rocketeer jhas a meaningful shot at you, and that's unlikely with two weeks to go.
That's a great find, Kiwi. Also good to know that you're the source of Zumantu's twitter wisdom...
Electric bikes are becoming ubiquitous in the Seattle area these days. Most are power-assist, meaning you have to pedal a bit to get the motor to kick in and assist, and are rated either at 20mph or 28mph, meaning they won't assist if you're going faster than that.
My friend with a Bosch 28mph model can easily cruise up Seattle hills (e.g., Dexter by Queen Anne, for those familiar with Seattle) at 15+mph, passing the pretty boys in spandex--and she's 64 (but in phenomenal shape. She rides about 12 mile RT d3x/week to work; the other days she needs her car).
I have a three year old 20mph 'Freway' which is a collector's edition--the company is out of business, though the bikes are great. The company was started by a couple of Chinese grad students at Berkeley, I believe. Once they were out of grad school they went on to software jobs that were presumably more lucrative...
Here's a pic:

Btw, SK: you might check and see what your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy covers. It's pretty surprising how broad the coverage can be. For example, I caddied as a kid, and the caddies used to drive the carts from the shed where they were charged up to the area outside the pro shop every morning. I was among them, at 14. One day I hit a Cadillac, causing $700 in damage (in 1971; so not cheap then), and it was covered by my parents' HO policy. The CC changed who could drive the carts after that. Longer story for another time...
It's a great defensive battle.
Now bottom of the 16th and still going....
Jesse,
Do you know a good ENT in the Seattle area? I just snorted hot coffee through my nose, and fear I may have done some damage.
TIA
