Acting like fundamentals are antiquated thinking is how you miss selling in the froth before the market corrects. There is no “new” world order. Stocks aren’t going to all of a sudden always be worth twice as much in the future. That’s why I threw out my thoughts that I’d look at the June peak as a good out. Maybe it’s not the top but it’s extremely hard to time it and we already saw how fast the table can turn and June was a far different competitive landscape than today. Feel free to do whatever you want just my thoughts. I just remember saying I’d be happy with $9 a share buyout and getting chastised because it could go to $20. I should have listened to myself, would have made me twice as much.

I don’t care about the future, I care about right now. I’m not speaking to you directly but being conservative in 2020 likely cost a lot of people a lot of money. If this gets fda approval and hits the news nobody is going to stop and care or wonder about the market cap is. There will be a buying rush and eventually a chance to sell and take big profits. Obviously CD12 could tank and it bottoms out too, but hey that’s gambling. 
 

Nobody is chastising you here, you can obviously do as you please but it’s just a lot more of a conservative approach than a lot of us have.

$12 may be a stretch but I'm adding in a bit of FOMO. We'll see...

I think we get back to 7. Anything over that seems like a pipe dream but we shall see. The shorts covering alone should make for a good pump.

I definitely haven’t been conservative this year. I wouldn’t be up 100% YTD (not just a gambling account) if I was. Suggesting I’d do a limit order at $9 on a stock currently at $5 isn’t conservative either. I’m just reminding people of the last peak that got blasted by shorts. People are welcome to ride the froth, but not having an exit plan isn’t smart. I didn’t the first time and would have doubled my gain if I sold at my “happy” point during the summer froth. Still got out with almost $50k, but could have made $100k.

The exit plan is onto a yacht. 
 

Seriously I don’t care when/if anybody sells obviously. If it goes to 9 though, knowing that there is a good chance of approval for covid, I’m just not selling when it could conceivably hit 20 next year. If they get approval there is going to be a lot of wind in their sales and a lot of revenue coming in.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to be in a rush to sell if they get legitimized with any kind of approval here.

There will be a lot of attention on them.  We know other countries are going to want it just to start and they definitely will be a target for a buyout if nothing else.  Assuming they can get their BLA for HIV together, than they would have another indication it can be used for.  They can also aggressively pursue other trials.

 
Can someone provide a layman’s explanation on shorting? I’ve tried to google it and just don’t understand it.  Thanks.

A short borrows stock and sells it at market value.  He is betting that the stock will be valued lower in the future.  When it drops in price he buys it back at the lower value and returns it to the original owner, pocketing the delta.  In other words he borrows 10 shares at 100 a share ($1000) and sells it for $1000.  Then the stock drops to $80 and he buys 10 shares for $800 and gives the 10 shares back to the person he borrowed it from, keeping the $200 difference.  The caveat being that if the stock jumps to $120 he has to cover the difference

Maybe someone can explain it better, but basically I borrow your shares at $5.27 and sell them hoping to replace them later at a lower price.  I know they are "your shares", but  it's sort of like FF where you don't actually own the player, you own the rights to their FF statistical performance.

 
Has everyone who bought last December thought through whether selling and rebuying before Jan 1st would be smart for tax purposes?  It would potentially avoid some Biden-related taxes.  If the stock price falls, you would gain a short term capital loss to apply to your 2021 taxes.  If the stock price rises, it is probably because of getting an EUA and the stock would be safe to keep until December 2021.

 
So, how do you offer your shares for someone else to borrow? Is there some setting somewhere in Schwab that allows you to do this?

Right but if they go up in value, that’s when you are screwed. You have to then buy your own shares at 9-10 bucks a pop or whatever. Shorting seems like what a rail of coke must be like.

You don't have a choice.  You can "own" Kelce, but I have the right to "own" his stats too and whether I want to start or sit him regardless of what you do.

Depressing fun fact since we’re all bored: I’ve played fantasy football 10 years in a league with my friends. I’ve made the playoffs 8 times (4 make it each year) and I have lost in the semifinals 8 times. Then after today I have lost the loser bracket game...8 times. 8 fourth place finishes. 
 

I share this because I am astonished at the odds of it happening. Seems impossible.

We're not allowed to call it ownership anymore.

 
I wonder if they are manipulating the German market to prevent the stock dropping on the US market?  About 100,000 shares have traded on the German market.

The only person on this board who needs to worry about this is chet.

 
Are we expecting the patented CYDY quick pop and pullback today?  Pre market is just under $6.  History tells me this will go to $6.25 then burn down to $5.10
