Current biotech gambling plays are SGYP and ABIO.

Hoping to get out at about 3 bucks for SGYP just before PDUFA date.

ABIO is a much longer hold, probably April-ish. Both have completed recent rounds of dilution so I am hoping I am safe on that front for a bit. 

Still hold 1000 shares of ATNM as a complete lotto ticket. 

 
Charts probably don't mean much for mania stocks, bu the ones for MGTI and  RIOT look they've had at least a short-term reversal.
There are still three crypto related threads on the 1st page here, though, so... ;)

Bought SGYP a couple weeks ago and holding through January hoping for a pop to 4. It’s been up a good 20% in just the last week or so. Interest is building.

Did you buy? I am holding the small piece I bought back in with. If it gets worse I will bail lol

No, I was glad when I saw it hit $4.55. Almost took a chunk there, but chickened out. That would have been a quick 10% scalp, but I'm sure I wouldn't have sold at the right time.  I've got the anti midas touch with stocks so I'm a bit hesitant to put anything into something like this that looks to me a bit like a poker machine at present.

What other banks do you like?

I think the big 4 are all interchangeable at this point. If the best one gets 20% in 2018, the worst will get 15%... if I was rating in order JPM, BAC, WFC, C. But that’s just throwing darts. Anyone who says different is full of ####.

There is a lot of value supposedly in regional banks, Ally was up like 50% this year, but I’m just messing with the big boys right now. Think a pullback could be in the cards (but the bull still isn’t dead), so I’m just parking funds where I’m confortable to ride a dip.

 
Funny you guys are talking about SGYP... if you go back to 2014, 2015 before they were FDA approved, I was in on that one for at least 8 or 9 months. 

My fear is that they’re like a MNKD and just gonna crumble... Gotta do some reading on them. I got in around $3.5, they had spiked almost to $10 and I think I ended up selling in the high $4’s IIRC.

Pay attention to Congress possibly pulling back the leveraged lending guidelines following the GAO ruling that the current guidance constituted a "rule" that required approval from the start. The big banks are generally having trouble competing with private equity and banks primarily Fed-regulated, but the regionals pretty much have no shot. Pullback on the guidance will allow them to get back in the game. It will only be good for them short term as they get the initial underwriting/syndication fees before the risk catches up on them and/or the market turns, so be quick on your feet.

I did not know about that, thanks... I’m basically already in head first, think the banks are the market drivers heading into 2018... perfect storm for them between taxes and a very friendly government for banking (for now).

They have a PDUFA date of January 24th. I will not hold longer than that. I am guessing there should be a decent runup to that date since that result is not baked in already. Their primary endpoint data from phase 3 was solid so I dont think there will be a lot of rejection fear holding it back. The issue will be fear of dilution and I would not be shocked to see that get announced right before approval date. 

That is why if I see this thing hit 3 bucks, my risk tolerance will be almost nil for any dip.

I....will be waiting to get back in. 

 
This woulda been a good one to know: Watt

"Charging at a distance" technology got FCC approval.  I wonder if there is still some room to go up.  This seems like a breakthrough.

You wanna put your balls between the base station and the phone?

 
Same question I asked in the retirement thread: do most of you maintain standing stop-loss orders on individual stocks in your account? I haven’t done that but feel a bit exposed and I might start. Thanks for your feedback.

At Schwab they let you set action based orders.  I just do mutual funds so I have things like 5% SNP bloodbath in a day = sell a #### ton. 

At this point my stop loss is my liver developing a taste for fine whiskey.

As far as i can tell i cant do a stop loss order that includes pre and post market trading so seems kind of pointless to me.

Which ones are you in?  I'm looking at Aurora on my screen.  I jumped into one a couple years ago and got completely burned so I just left the space.  But I think you might be onto something here.

I just sold CNAB. Almost a double. The tickers I watch are CANN, CNAB, CGRW, AMMJ, CBDS, GROW, OGRMF, APHQF, TWMJF, ACBFF.

The index fund that just started is MJX. I think CANN, CNAB and CGRW are in it.

They already ran 100%-300%+ .

I bought a thousand shares of IGC around Halloween for $0.41/EA, trading at $1.01 today. Was up over $1.30 earlier in the week, but I didn't sell any. Hoping for another pop or two in the coming months.

When it was halted, it had a price of $6 something.  My cost was $8.08 and then halted.  Apparently a few of the Canadian pot stocks were halted today - Cannabis Wheaton was halted.  I'm going to complete my order into the close here.  Tiny play.

I wish I'd been at work this week, I would have been following this more acutely. Likely would have sold a chunk of the position and tried to rebuy on the dip. As it was, it was already well on its way back to $1 by the time I got hip to the bounce, so I opted to just hold. 

 
What does everyone think about Apple.  My broker thinks it breaks 210 by June, it’s my biggest holding but  the most I have paid in the past is between 99-108.

Nobody seems to care about this battery slowdown thing. There is really nothing they can do to lose people.

I got in at $90 and $130 and while it seems high based on our entry point its P/E (18) is not as crazy as other techs and as a long term investment I have a hard time thinking when I need cash 10, 20, 30 years down the road it's not going to be alot higher.

 
About a month ago, I sold off my FCEL that I had bought in July. I was up $400 but then it fell back down and I cashed out a little above $200. Took that money and bought into AAPL today. Only have 5 shares but whatever. I still have my PLUG and am just waiting to break even on that... I could sell now for like a $10 loss but I'll be putting that money into AAPL as well. Last year was a good year with a 20.4% interest return. I was only able to add in $2,000 to my IRA but I did buy a house in 2017 so it works out more or less, no? If I sell/buy soon, I could get another 5 shares of AAPL to hold.

 
I pick up some good info here.  I'm more of a buy & hold for just a few stocks for pretty good chunks.   You guys amaze me with the buying & selling.  I don't have the time or knowledge to do it but sounds exciting when it comes to fruition.  Also some head slamming when it doesn't.   Nice year for the markets & thank you people for this thread.

Happy New Year.

I dunno about massacring it.  I have all of 300 little shares at $10.30 avg cost.  Thinking of adding some CANN to have a pair of high fliers (boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo).
