Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc (ADXS)

[jaxstraw]

No surprise the stock cratered yesterday. In addition to a bull trap orchestrated masterfully by a fund or two, they got help from the ADXS management. Two PRs within few days and we now go back to low 20s.

I have been in and out of this stock for about a decade.
Way back when I was just about the only poster with a handful of others I truly believed this to be a long term hold investment.
Within a couple of years of watching it constantly being used as a teaders playground I decided it wasn't worth ever sitting on shares hoping for a big payday.
That doesn't mean I didn't see value in the platform or the science.
It just meant I wasn't going to sacrifice my money patiently waiting for it.
I would take a binary approach....invest and pull out if there were enough gains....and invest and hope that if it it while I waited for temporary gains it would be a lottery win.
But I wouldn't sit endlessly through the constant traders playground with this stock.
If I was out temporarily when the 'big news' hit I would have to deal with trying a different strategy to re-enter.
The 'big news' would be long term success...and that still would make it a desirable holding even after missing the initial price explosion.
So I enter and leave with the swings of the traders playground this has always been.
Why they have targeted this company for over a decade is a mystery to me but they have....and certain entities (I believe) have used this an ATM for years. While I don't think the company is complicit presently I have my suspicion of back in the Thomas Moore days and possibly though that regime is gone the practice of working this as traders is still here.
I hope to hot that payday someday....but I will never sit on any holdings here through a rise in share price on no news.
Take the profit.
