DBF --- keep doing what you do Brah. I try to weed through these dream chasers investing $500 at a time and these shite pharma stocks to read some valuable information such as yours, instead of blind speculation or a copy and paste from another board.

Bengals is just on edge because he has lost half of his original $300 investment.

I'm actually still up almost double on my initial 3k but ok...
There's plenty of valuable info in the sticky thread. You're welcome.

No need to be hateful brother. Many of us are "trading" bio/pharma. It's just for entertainment. Our "investments" our elsewhere.

Of course all long term and short term advices are welcome so please contribute to the thread.

Also in terms of the small trades ($500-$2000) with compound interest it can really be nice to see small gradual gains to your portfolio over time.

My personal goal is 3 trades with 5% gains per week (15% total)

Let's start with only $1000 x 1.15 (15% per week). Compounded. 52 weeks per year.

That's over a million my friends. Take out capital gains taxes, inevitable losses, etc and the million becomes quite the challenge, but even half is possible with dedication and research.

I've been doing well under this strategy and I think others can too.

Just something to think about

I just don't get the hate today...oh well, I'm done with it.

I tried your strategy today. It was a terrible attempt but I sold all of my position at $7.95 and bought back in at $7.90 which gave me FIVE more shares

ya undecided if ill participate in the threads anymore

people are way too sensitive with money (which was my concern when it started); you give anyone a wrong pick and theyll hold a vendetta with you forever ...

then we have others mocking bio/pharma when its at an all time high for volume (lol) while at that the same time believing theyre geniuses for clicking two buttons to buy AAPL or TSLA and holding it for 3 years (fricking lol)

ill just do me, ive been doing quite well these days and it seems you are too

where did I say 3 years? I said on sunday the setup was nice on tesla and wynn, and both did great this week. You guys are just salty as could be that your stock was -25%. It's whatever I'm here to have a little fun and share some actual knowledge not some speculation on small caps followed up with seeking alpha analysis, if you notice on my WYNN commentary, it was all my own, not some schmuck off a schmuck website like seeking alpha.

Anyways, you guys keep the threads alive, I'll stay out of it, but dont call me out on picking large caps that do well bc lol at you guys for risking $1000 on trash and being happy it goes up 15%, Id rather drop $100,000 on a large cap and watch it go up 15%/week too but thats not realistic, unless of course you followed me sunday and added wynn and tesla this week. I make bigger bets on safer names, guess that makes me stupid, Im sure your portfolios are littered with indexes and thats great but im over here giving you bull cases on individual names that even money managers at edward jones wont give you and you're ridiculing me as doing something so simple its not even worth acknowledging yet there's countless threads, one on the main page now actually, where people are thanking me for advice on a stock.

I hope AUPH goes for a 10 bagger for you guys!

I think you assume an awful lot with every post you write, and that's what's most annoying.

I'm trying to make money NOW. You'd laugh if you knew my yearly salary. You have capital and you use it well. I and many others just don't have that kind of cash available. That's part of the reason why Robinhood is so popular. I don't have to pay $7 on a $500 stock purchase. Also, RH is a hobby for most of us. It's fun.

My long term security comes from TRSL plus a little bit of Roth. I'm in AUPH to pay off my car, take a trip, and buy an engagement ring. worse case scenario: I sell at $5 and make 20% gains and move on to the next one.

Thanks for wishing us luck.

i think the point is that either strategy is profitable.

ive 'd you multiple times so your contributions are certainly not "stupid"

my index list is very small, i like to go all in and get out (as ive said several times). ive only recommended starting the buys at $500-$2000 and to increase as you go. I dont think itd be wise to tell anyone to drop 20k on a bio stock right out the gate esp if theyre just starting out.

what do you want me to say when someone posts

again if it was so simple to load the boat on V at $170 when I posted it on here, or PM in 2013 or WYNN in the 90s last month, then why didn't everyone and their mother do it? Free money is so hard to pass up for me. I dont speculate on things as you can see in my WYNN analysis, I gave my own take on future EBITDA, did any of you guys mention anything about AUPH other than some rumors you heard floating around the internet? What if it doesn't get through phase 3? Many biotechs get to phase 3 and flop, what happens then? Look this all got out of hand yesterday when Jim Morrison and I mentioned the secondary was awful and AUPH would be crashing shortly, true it will crash short term -25% today and probably lower as the 33% dilution kicks in but not all offerings are bad, Im bullish on tesla and they're gonna offer soon and it's going to solidify their cash position long term which this did for AUPH. Regardless, I hope you guys all hit a grand slam and make many multiples of your initial investment.

I'm sure at least ONE lurker is reading all this shite and having the time of his life...and maybe he even made $4 today on TSLA because of it!
(I'm kidding)

Just admit it's 100x harder for a large cap to move up 5% like tesla with no news than it is for a piece of junk like auph to do so? Tesla was up 5% on 2x normal volume today.....that's not normal, the chart was setup for a move into the offering he's gonna announce soon. There was no material news today, I'd say a 5% move without earnings in a $40b company is pretty damn amazing to be a part of

Please don't stop posting these weekly threads! I enjoy the read and suggestions. I use RH for fun and appreciate stocks that people are watching.

Others reading should understand the risk in these types of stocks and know you are giving suggestions based on positions you are taking... Keep it up. I do some research into the stocks other suggest in this thread for the last 3 weeks or so and im averaging 19% ROR on 9 trades. I go all in on each trade get out quick if I dont like what its doing and take gains early, as I have a similar view of the compound interest factor.

I just don't understand why the bait must be taken Every. Single. Time.

I clearly indicated that I was ready to put all this shite behind me by ending with a friendly comedic jab...yet here we go again!

I've really enjoyed this thread the past couple of weeks so I'm hoping a little disagreement won't put it to an end.

Yeah...just giving our insight into what the stock will do gets us vilified because we tell them they're about to lose a great percentage of their profits. Comes with the territory, I suppose, when people are so bullish and emotionally invested on a stock, they're blind by their daydreams of buyout offers. You even giving real world evidence of similar stock history that plummets is ignored.

I really only started posting my opinion on the price not being sustainable because I thought it could honestly help some of these guys here keep some of their gains. At the end of the day, it's their money to do whatever they please with and I couldn't care less if they decide to buy rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong with it, but don't act like you're "invested" in a volatile stock and then rage once the party is over.

bayoubengals, no offense, but your posts tell me that you do not have a lot of time in the market and on top of that inexperience, you are playing in the biotech arena. It'd be wise of you to exercise caution if you're going to get so emotionally invested in a stock like that. There's a lot of money to be made in biotech, but you need to be smart and know what you're doing or you're going to lose your arse. Remember that there's a difference between unrealized and realized gain. Until you have a buyer for your shares, consider your account to be play money and don't start dreaming of lottery buyout scenarios.

The stock market is a beautiful machine and there's lots of ways for people to make money. What's the old saying, "Bulls and bears make money; pigs get slaughtered" is especially relevant in biotech. What do you know about being a bull and then turning bearish for the ride down? Turn that 150% gain into 300%.
