Huge (relative) volume pushed price below $5 (250k or so, more than double previous high so far today).

People are theorizing on the message boards that today's early morning drop was a coordinated short attack.  I don't think so.  I think a lot of people want to own the CYDY stock overnight in case there is positive news.  It seems like any after hours news is slanted toward the good this early in the unblinding process.  But they are afraid of owning the stock for the whole day because they don't want to be victimized by it plummeting like it did June 29th.  A lot of these owners probably lost money that day.  So they will buy the stock at the end of each trading day and then sell it right after opening the next day.  Rinse and repeat.  I'd bet my bottom dollar that the stock price will rise again today during the last hour or two before close.

Good point. itolizumab just was approved in India after a 30 patient trial. Looks like it will be studied in the US, but no EUA. 

Good results would absolutely accelerate a potential phase 3. With the right support you can fill a 400 patient trial in a month.

Itolizumab (brand Alzumab) made by Biocon, an Indian company, and licensed to Equillium.

Not to be confused with livilimab (brand Isilra), made by Biocad, a Russian company, who is selling the stuff, or at least trying to, around the world.

They claim effectiveness, but haven't gone through as rigorous a process as FDA (as least I don't think).

I think both are IL-6 blockers, not CCR5.

I'll ask, were we aware that LL is being trialed with remdesivir?

Not to my knowledge

 
You guys are nuts. I said it earlier, the price action right now means nothing. It's either going to the moon or getting crushed. I don't see much middle ground, so these movements are meh. 

 
Seems like a noon EST release is the only option until close, and I'm going to guess as we approach close without a note we see more slides.

Plus, isn't there a usually scheduled large volume selloff (avoiding "short" as it offends folks) in about 30 minutes?

I'm struggling today and resorted to this...

Limit order at 4.91 filled.  Placed sell order at 5.01 the filled.  Put a new limit order to buy at 4.91.

Unlikely scenario, but if we rocket to the moon and don't touch $4.90 with a low of $4.91 today, I'll have something to complain about.

Always set your limits one penny higher.  Learned that lesson previously on this stock.  My $4.91 filled.  Yesterday my $5.05 didn't and I missed some profit.

 
Outside of that one trade, today has been the suck.  Everything up early in the day I didn't sell is down and everything down earlier I didn't buy is up.  Also passed on a small BZQ and TZA profit and now I'm underwater on that.

 
I feel like I'm in this bizarro world where I expect ####ty news on the trials, but I wont sell my shares.  Any other stock other than this one and I'd be out.  Like a bad girlfriend I can't drop.

If the stock had gone to $6 instead of $5 today, would you be feeling this way now? It's pure sentiment.

I simply wouldn't be able to live with myself if this thing rocketed to $20. With that, I'm calculating my finances as if this was zero.

'Insanity is knowing that what you're doing is completely idiotic, but still, somehow, you just can't stop it.' — Elizabeth Wurtzel

This is why a run-up to $8 would be nice.  It would provide a huge gain and give the ability to get out before the binary event.  Although, I might convince myself that the run-up is due to insider trading like I did during the June 20th-29th run-up.

Has nothing to do with today, I'd say this feeling is driven by the emotional damage from the short attack + the understanding acquired over time that these guys constantly #### up and miss.  The likelyhood of them getting a hit in their first at bat on COVID is slim in my view.

You hit the nail on the head with your second sentence, thats why I'm still in (and why I'm mentally writing the bulk of it off...for sure my accumulated profit)

 
And then I read quotes like this:

It's all in the science. Covid 19 is just a feather in the hat when you combine all the other indications. Simple facts are sometimes the best. It works and has been working for years in trials and now we see critical patients who have survived when all else had failed. The first lives have been saved. Millions will have the same results in the years to come. CYDY is one of those stocks to stuff in the drawer for your kids to pull out and look at what it was that paid for their advanced education.

And it makes me want to sell so bad. 

How can anyone with all of the information we have, be this wildly optimistic? I feel like I'm part of the dumb money and it makes me want to run.

They're all the same. You aren't pulling anything material from now until data off of them.

When I read them I get scared; amazingly it's the bulls that scare me and the bears that make me feel comfortable.

Yahoo is the most chaotic but the easiest format to read a lot quickly.  It has lots of stupid posts with gifs and irrelevant stuff but the format allows you to go through it quickly.   Investor's Hangout doesn't allow any shorts or negative opinions.  So it's like you're at Bible Camp and can't talk bad about God.  Investor's Hub has longs and shorts.  All three message boards can have good stuff but it's like sifting through trash.  Both IHub and IHangout are super slow to go through because you have to click on each post.

Every jump in price is well deserved and valid.

Every drop is a short attack and is an anomaly that doesn't mean anything.

The person that wrote that is one of the two most optimistic, that I've seen, on that board.  The other talks of 4 digit SP... not 3 or 2.   :loco:

Here's how one can be wildly optimistic: we see NVAX rocket from $7 to $140 (today's price) in under 6 months. Not the same multiple, but look at MRNA or INO. What caused those stocks to yield a 10 bagger or a 20 bagger within 6 months? A small handful of promising results and hype. The biotech bubble is irrational and we are trying to capitalize on it. Plus, consider that some folks in this forum (me included) are at a cost basis of zero or even better so any bigger wins from here are just gravy. When you can afford to let it ride and the prospect of a 20-bagger hangs on a conference call and a shout-out from our dear leader, it's easy to be optimistic. My million dollar number is about $125. Don't laugh, it could happen. I wrote an email to my brother in February 2019: "Looks like a lot of action happening on NVAX which I know nothing about except that it makes a flu vaccine and it sounds as though some kind of results or ruling is coming up. More put action than call action. I'm probably just going to watch it, but thought you might know more about it than me." He didn't. Then I watched it go from $4 to $140.

At $140, they'd be worth Gilead, just to put that into perspective. 

 
I think regardless we're at crunch time. Whether it goes to a buck or over $10, I'd like to thank @chet! This stock has moved from under 30 cents to $10 in less than 8 months, he got us in at the absolute bottom!! I'll follow him blindly any day of the week. 

We're mostly football guys here, and I think most of us have left a decent chunk on to gamble with. Hopefully we make bank and have hopes for a good Covid treatment at the same time! If not, it was one fun ride!
