I've decided I don't like all the ups and downs and time commitment to active management.   I'm looking for a couple of old man, dividend plays in the Roth with some ETFs.  Brokerage may get a couple growth names that I can look at quarterly.   Best of luck to those who can do this successfully.

Imo all the stop losses are what the shorts are taking advantage of. They know people have them set and are using it for their gain. Don’t blame people at all but it sucks short term. 

 

[arrow1]

Put in a limit buy for $5.05 after missing the earlier drop. Just got it. 

5.10 here

I'll recommend VIG again.

 

[BassNBrew]

You might get another chance to do this again.  Today

Thanks for the heads up. Nibble at 5.03. 4.70-90 seems to be the time to back up the truck

Yep, they get the ball rolling and it starts a chain reaction.  And since the stop losses happen instantaneously, it's easy to know that the stock has bottomed out when it doesn't go down further for just a minute.

The scary thing about cydy is that its hard as hell to sell on the way down, i've put in a limit order about .10 below current bid a few times and it doesnt fill any meaningful quantity while price continues to tank.

 

[CR69]

Guys you can't expect news from a company every day or even every week. What other company does that?

The CEO has stated multiple times they're waiting for the hospital to confirm results before they can unblind the study. 

If you can't handle this stuff you shouldn't be buying OTC stocks imo. 

 

[Tecumseh]

Got my avg down in the 6's. I'll be adding as I divest some of my other garbage. New garbage >>>>> old garbage.

 

[beef]

I've been staring at DFS long enough.  Getting back in on this mid 47 range.  

 

[Sand]

Man I should have bought more SE and SPOT.  

I did just buy more CYDY at 5.  Now I'm back up to what I had plus a decent bit if cash from my sale in the 9s.

Yes the no buyers thing at points is kind of scary. 

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

In for more at $5.02

Come on, -15% in a day is going to get people talking. Unrealistic to expect otherwise.

TSN Tyson Foods in the 57s.  I had bought in this range previously and sold half in the 60s.  It's one of those stocks that's still down 30% from the crash.  I don't see the demand for chicken going away.

 

[sporthenry]

Started a small short in TSLA. Smarter folks than I have lost money doing it but honestly, how much higher can it go? Puts too expensive. But if it goes up 30% from here, its market cap would be higher than WMT. At some point, folks will have to rotate out into companies that make money. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Just bought back the VBI Vaccine I sold at 4.20 this morning for 3.67.  Wish I had flipped it all instead of 2/3s.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Gonna guess Chet is #notselling.  At this point in the short term its covid fda results or bust

Chet was in for the pump, not the dump.  

He’s probably sold everything by now laughing on his yacht. 

 

[General Malaise]

Buy the rumor sell the news....or something.  

Chet will show up.

 

[stbugs]

It’s easy to get down due to one stock, even if up because you think about the gains you lost. However, if I take a step back and look at my stocks I’m extremely happy with the results. I bought 25 stocks from last May through this April and 14 of them are up 90% or more based on cost basis (including multiple purchases). Best is 451% up. I didn’t count AMZN as we’ve owned that longer.

Great trial results would be awesome but this has been a heck of a year regardless.

 

[Nugget]

I'll recommend VIG again.

I'm adding some VIG and VUG.  I just don't understand SPACs and shipping plays.

What’s the bottom if the covid results are a flop or at least not extraordinary?

Why is VIG a good pick.  It's lagging QQQ significantly and only tossing off a 1.88% dividend.

 

[JerseyToughGuys]

sentiment is a funny thing 

 

[BassNBrew]

Probably zero unless they can sell millions of vials they've committed to as jello shots in Florida.

 

[BassNBrew]

Dumped the shares at $5.03 at $5.26 for a 4.5% gain.

I don't know but I'm out at that point as quickly as possible, regardless of price.

They are surviving on a shoestring.

I know everyone says "i was never in it for covid", but for me at least the company has essentially tied their science to being able to solve covid...if it doesnt work for covid they created an enormous amount of uncertainty for this investor that it will solve anything else (other than monkey butts).

No idea but I'm hoping to find out in a couple decades.

Sorta.

And we’re pretty confident on this covid thing? I’ve been gone for a while so I missed a lot. 

 

[Ignoratio Elenchi]

They were at .30 to 1.00 before the covid connection. So, without it, somewhere about there.. right?

I think fairly or not, a failure to successfully treat COVID will negatively impact the perception of its likelihood to successfully treat those other things, so I'd guess it would drop lower.

Why do you hate monkey butts?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Of course there's some covid expectation built into the current price. If they can't treat covid, we're back to waiting for HIV or cancer approval at lower levels.  But there's no reason to tie the ability to treat covid to the ability to treat anything else. You don't go to the oncologist for chemo because you caught the flu.

Agreed.  The 2 most promising indications are HIV (which seems like they are nearly complete) and triple negative breast cancer.  Having all the other potential indications is just a bonus.

My concern is short-term cash flow.  I would really like to see them get an agreement from a financial institution rather than create more shares.

 

[djmich]

Why do you hate monkey butts?

I love 'em, the market doesnt (based on todays price action for yesterdays press release)

 

[sporthenry]

Reopening trade seems to be catching a bid based off my P&L. Wonder if folks are getting ahead of the government's magical therapeutic announcement.

Is the MOA not comparable.

 

[ghostguy123]

Talking about CYDY share price if the Covid results flop and talking about HIV and Cancer are two different conversations.

If Covid flops the share price is gonna tank hard 

Frankly I think we all missed our golden opportunity to sell at 10 and many of us would have if not for that unfortunate short attack.

 

[The General]

Nice late afternoon push up here.

The dude asked for old man dividend plays. VIG is full of them. QQQ, not so much.

1.88% isn't old man dividend plays.  Todem's list is full of stocks that pay better than that.

 

[BassNBrew]

The Blmn dance is getting thinner but still effective.  In at $9.90 out at $10.23.

 

[BassNBrew]

Gonna hold some TZA overnight.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wasn't CYDY at around $3 before the COVID steam really picked up?

It launched up to 3.43 on 3/27 which I think was long before they tied it into COVID treatment, no?

 

[Don't Noonan]

VIG is an excellent ETF made up of companies that consistently grow their dividends.  Great track record.  You want to own companies that grow their dividend rather than those that just pay a high dividend.

Yeah I've been watching the same thing this afternoon. I'm still betting on them pushing that hydroxychloroquine study and if that's the case, the market is going to tank hard imo. 

 

[Sand]

Stocks go down for reasons other than short attacks

IMO, this is the most likely explanation.

Big late day updraft in that one.  Turned green.

I lowered my limit sell to 23 today so i will be too.
