Whose primary endpoint is efficacy for the most serious of AZD patients. P3 is next, and the real issue is how Gottlieb greenlights it.
His arrogance is outstanding.
I'm long , bullish and will hold thru data. I agree that BP will be all over the results. Further agree that the next big catalysts, in terms of magnitude, is partnership/alliance with BP and/or FDA action.
It is unrealistic to think, however, that a multi-billion deal gets concluded, let alone negotiated over the week-end, no matter when the "look see" by BP first began.
We are beginning the next phase of NTRP's journey with all the catalysts, nay sayers, day traders, & shorts like "anal warts" AF, WonderWoman, & their ilk. But Longs, it's a nice place to be.
I'm in Cuba on May 1. Hope to be buying celebratory cigars or will otherwise be at the nearest rum dispenser.
Reminds me of when I tried cases: Both sides submit to jury & then begins agonizing wait coupled with "tea leave reading." But reading those leaves, I think in sum the news will be positive. A lot of nervous shorts today. Expect squeeze upon share price. Good luck.
More likely shorts covering/puckering up.
You have any thing to back That Up?
Agreed.
And if it wasn't a mistake?
Reminds me of some accomplished investor who,when asked how he was able to become successful, said: I always sold too early.
Positive data will blunt them. Market won't listen to them initially, tho of corse, once the new market pricing on the sp occurs, they'll regroup & attack. By then the attacks will occur on a 2 billion McDonald's.
When your compensation is stock, yesss.
Thursday after hours, even pre-market would be a good time for release as it gives another day of trading instead of going inactive for the weekend. Traders mean nothing even tho the sp moves artificially. The data is what it's all about. Peptobismol for any shorts holding into the release. For us, bad data means we suffer some losses. Good data will ruin shorts.
The folks at Ntrp watch this board. Today or tomorrow, but please don't make it this weekend when I'm in Cuba.
So which is it? Shorting, panic selling,or profit taking? The first isn't "dumping". Panic selling at these volumes isn't dumping, and profit taking isn't a dump either. Manipulation is a better phrase to describe what happened with the share price,and that's what shorts do. Manipulation occurs at high volumes all the time. Those with that belief have an agenda that itself is part of the manipulation. Which is ok because I've picked up 3k shares at prices I didn't believe we'd see again. Thank you shorts, mm & their friends. It all comes down to the science,not what the 100 day chart tells you.
"Technical analysis" of stock movement rite before a data release is what's absurd.
From your lips to Dr. Alcon's ears.
Agreed. This is so classic in the biotech space where the shorts seek their gains on talking the stock down by panic & innuendo. Another day or two of this creates its own trap for the shorts, because panic is irrelevant to the results. And manipulating the price down doesn't change the data, it creates buying opportunities. I like this 14 & 15 handle and won't pass it up.
Did the same. Another 1K @ 14.7.
Yes, I think u we're choosing the word "crash" to describe share movement. As run coach notes, double blind, placebo controlled. That's y no one has been able to credibly attack the science, at least from what l've seen discussed here and on other boards.
My take on this is: (1). SP action is unremarkable as the range of trading, both price and volume, is tight and narrow, (2) market manipulators are accumulating shares using a variety of tactics intended to scare/scam shareholders to dump so they can accumulate shares.
How do we know this? Just look at trading history and volume history over the last month. There's no large scale dump crashing share prices, even if others characterize down days as a "crash." The sell on the news theory has no application to the unique circumstances surrounding this stock. Mankind's greatest scourge just maybe, just might be resolved. How could any sane, rational investor (Not trader -Investor) sell before release of data?
My approach looks at this manipulation as what a perfect opportunity to buy, and buy I did, 1k at 16.95 and 1k at 16.75. The downside is there, but gosh, the upside. Given the action this week, price may go down & I say: Thanks, because no matter how you manipulate prices, you just can't manipulate data & that's what will actually cause the sp to finally trade outside of its range.
Crash doesn't describe a pull back from a high. lol.
Great, we'll get an even better price.
Means very little as data results are the next event. IRRELEVANT.
I agree, this is classic accumulation tactics. Picked up more at 16.95.
Yes, you guys are. So I wanted to voice the hopes your caution forbids.
What has impressed me about this Board is the knowledge shared by many of the posters. I'm ready in biotech to take the risk, but this one is more than just hype v risk. This one is about science thru DR. Alkon. If the data is demonstrable as being a new MOA towards the cure of AZD, the market dynamics of a bandwagon effect will run the SP up. What's nice is that the bandwagon effects will be sustainable thru the catalysts and the FDA bias towards AZD success. In other words, those extremely knowledgeable posters on this board may just be too cautious about their SP projections.
Tite trading range grinding up. People are holding for results.
U may be right. But I've seen the opposite happen more. But it's out of our hands now.
That,s my idle fantasy. CNBC announcing a halt in trading. Could.
And certainly idle speculation, but the market cap should go to 1.5 billion, very easily given the overall all AZD market. That's a 200 handle on SP. I can dream, can't I?
One important fact is left out by you. Catalysts. There's one coming up in two weeks or less which may upend all of AZ research. And people are probably saying it because its true. AS a catalyst gets closer stocks will rise, or fall, depending on the surrounding circumstances. In this case, a $7 to a $20 rise for a new MOA that could substantially end man's "living death" is not a warning flag. Its the market.
Its difficult to see "how the deck is stacked against retail" in NTRP in any significant manner different than other stocks. If anything, it is impressive how well this company has executed its corporate plan with an eye towards shareholder value. Only those insiders that took the risk of the private placement will, through warrants, get a cheaper price -- and they should. I see no red flags on this company's structure. They're well capitalized for the short term, aren't engaging in any dilution, and when they do it will be when all boats are rising. IMHO, this is a risk worth the chance.
Just the trading history since uplisting has been one of generally low volume, some spikes here and there, but pretty tame stuff in light of what's around the bend. I think it keeps trading tite this week, with little dips (love to see it go to a 17 handle again). Next week might be the same with a grind up. But we're all reading tea leaves now.
Agreed, but I should've time my upcoming trip to Cuba for another time. Leaving April 30 and returning May 5. Very reluctant to trade from there. Am locked in.
Less than 40K traded. Everybody's holding I guess.
Thanks SF. Here's the link to the post. The drum beat of interest picks up, even if volume is low today, as this 2015 article is reprinted today. http://www.healthnewswebsite.com/alzheimers/alzheimers_gene.html
Your earlier post said you were short at 19. Last week you said you shorted 20K shares at 21.00 (but only 1K shares sold at 21.) So are you short at all these prices?
Nice short. Closed at 19.45 and will probably open at 19.99. Squeezed yet?
Dangerous to short, especially at 19. GLTY, all shorts will need it, cause you just won't know when the data release comes. But will love the squeeze.
