Who knows on pharm stocks. It's at $8 now. Results expected sometime this month. I'm curious to see if it falls due to "sell on the news."

I almost put 2k in it.

My friend who originally got me into the stock told me earlier in the week that options showed a move to 9 by the middle of the month. He seems to think that some type of deal will be done with Pfizer/Merck within the next 3-4 months. All the data has been very positive thus far.

Any other pharm specs you're looking at?


Timing wasn't on my side with this one.

I have a small amount of a company call Cytokinetics (CYTK). They have developed muscle contractility drugs that treat ALS and heart failure and are in stage 2 trials. It actually has been down over 15% the last week so it may be a time to take a look at it.

They are typically risky stocks.

Why would someone be afraid of risk if they are investing in stocks? That's the point.......

Biotechs are riskier stocks. If you invest in them then you shoul understand that.

Been researching this one heavily. I want it bad, but man is it risky.

Thinking of jumping in soon, but not as confident about this one. Don't want to blow my earnings, but damn Afrezza is a game changer.

Studies were released today and the news was great. The drug controlled A1C better than injected insulin or oral medication.

Just took a position here. If they meet expectations their GAAP EPS will jump 30% year over year. This combined with the support from google looks promising. I'm in at 6.68.

Honestly I would keep looking at it. It went down steadily all day and may continue to bounce around for a while. I am very optimistic there will be a deal in place with a major pharm company by the end of the year and that is where you can make some money.
