$14.33 close on 11/3/15
Prominent trend line at 4.78/4.79
I've often wondered the same thing. I lost my wife at the young age of 32 in 1999 due to a brain tumor. She also had temp lobe epilepsy because of the tumor.
She was in a horrific car accident in the mid '80's and fractured her pelvis and also had her spleen removed. I understand a brain tumor does not = Alzheimer's but she is gone just the same. And maybe, since Avxl is barking up the same tree with the science for some cancers, maybe there is a connection.
I believe that to be factually wrong. Closed on Fri., 4/22, at $5.24. The reports came out of Australia that weekend. It gapped up on Mon., 4/25, and opened at $5.96. IMO, he spoke at $5.24.
Either way, it matters not to me. But, lets get the facts straight for anyone new coming on board.
Right.
I got you.
Thank you.
Is 15% the normal rate or does it vary depending on the demand?
Thank you.
Sensible.
Let's be green today, wink, wink!! LOL
Plausible with options expiring this week. For April, there is the added $10 call and put strike compared to the available March options. Maybe, "they" will let it go to $7.49 by the middle of April then. Barring any and all news of course.
Yes Sir. I'm good either way. I was just attempting to answer a query in a previous post.
I think the debate about Sat. is that there was no specific statement in the PR yesterday about the 12 week data. While it's true that the good Doctor has stated the data would be available by the end of the qtr., some feel that since there was no reference to it yesterday, it means we wait. I may be wrong about this, but I don't think the data HAS to be released at a conference.
For anyone:
Is my thinking correct, options for March expire on the 18th?
TIA
Nice synopsis!
Your puter must be hooked up to the same line that feeds straight into Wall St. as mine is. Lol
Thanks for the info, Millstone. I will digest. Good to know of the "low contract volume" effect. ;)
I'm trying to understand the relationship of options with the price of its underlying stock and the mechanisms involved. Please enlighten me if I am wrong:
if most options expire worthless, the buying of a $5 July call - wouldn't that give reason, ammunition, motivation for the seller of that option to keep the share price of that stock below $5? I am assuming the seller, (smart money since most expire worthless), may have the means to keep the price down. And I'm asking this under the premise that we, (a lot of the longs on this board who have been here awhile), desire for the price of the stock to continue up in a bullish fashion. ie - get really high, as soon as possible.
And/or is the thinking that since the call is so far out in July, market forces, news, what-have-you, should trump the fact that most options expire worthless? I understand the calls bought can be sold anytime before the cut-off date.
Thanks for your insights. Much respect!
I have an account with TD Ameritrade so I use the Think or swim platform. I found the FTR under the "studies" tab. After entering the "studies" tab, go to "add study", then to "all studies", then to "E-F" of course.
Hope that gets you there.
Thanks for your thoughts and Xena's also!!
Hey Fletch, I own a '69. Just a plain jane though. First car. Owned it since '84.
Been long here since early August.
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer... do you believe the close of 11/17 at 3.24 to the low of 11/18 at 3.87 is considered a gap? I have my thoughts but trying to hear opinions of others.
Thanks in advance.
No problem. I was curious myself with all the action. Didn't want to cut my "fun" short watching my account value fall. LOL
Glad now it was regular trading hours.
TD Ameritrade says regular hours. Nasdaq says nothing of closing early. Just trying to confirm hours. May I ask where you see 2 pm? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Bman!!
I think hooperg83 alluded to the events of today from a post on Dec. 17.
Looking at a weekly chart - starting in April of '12, downtrend rest of the year. Uptrend throughout '13. Downtrend in '14. Uptrend this year. If pattern holds, downtrend in '16 to a low around $1.50 by using a trend line under the lows in '12 and '14.
That would set up a nice uptrend in '17, the year of product rollout. We'll see!!
IMO
I don't believe it is.

The guy in question just said that his account was above the $25,000 PDT amount needed.
Ah yes, the psychology...

Or, something like that. Lol
Thanks for the response
Hey Board,
Been long AVXL since early August. Didn't start out as an investor, but I am now. LOL
Just trying to make some sense of the recent price action. On Tues., 11/3, looking at a 30 min. chart, the precipitous drop at roughly 10:30, - was that the big money/inst. test for retail to see how we would react and what our sentiment was?
I wonder. If you notice on Thurs., 11/5, the day some of our eggs began to get considerably smaller, the opening candles' high was practically the same as the close of said candle on 11/3 at 12.60 (I have just thought that was very peculiar and I like to try and see their movements).
So, big money/inst. notices the reaction is mainly bullish at that point on the 3rd and decides to put the screws to us on the 5th? They gave us a day in between to think everything was copacetic and that we were just waiting for the news on Sat. I personally thought we would have some pullback after the news so the big boys could get cheaper shares, but obviously not to this price.
Again, just trying to make some sense and maybe be better prepared next time. Maybe Xena, or anyone else, has some knowledge as to this being one of the "plays" out of the big boy playbook and this was a visual representation of it on the chart. Is this what a "fake-out/breakout" is??
I assume/understand they have other plays and I think if/when we have another run-up, they will use another play to try and separate the retail from their shares.
Thanks for all the shared knowledge on the board over the past few weeks. Some has been quite helpful while other things I wish I had never seen. ;)
TIA
