Early Barchart 100
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/performance/percent-change/advances?timeFrame=today&viewName=main&screener=overall&orderBy=percentChange&orderDir=desc

Short interest rose today.

After getting pounded in the morning, the stock made a nice recovery in the afternoon.

Ligand bought out NOVN.

And you saw board member added another 200k shares, right?

Nice.

RBC raised their price target from $11 to $14. Needham price target is $10

I think the stock is worth $10+. I will hold it for a while. The only direct competitor, NOVN is undercapitalized. I estimate $10-$15m in sales next year... not including any milestone payments from Torii. I see the USA addressable market as closer to 1 million. I estimate about $1500 per patient.

Looks like the institutional short is covering.

The retailers who piled on are probably hoping it will dip back.

Pretty good trade setup and easy to roll up the stop.

And the buy in is after the pop back to $5 and not earlier. That was the sign of short covering or maybe a big buyer. But I feel like it was the big short from before taking profits.

Any buyers and this can see $6s in short order

I have to trade for income, so I will be taking profits and not holding overnight.

Even though I don't think a financing is going to happen, I just rather sleep easy and trade another day.

Next week the "analysts" will recommend the stock. Jefferies, HC Wainwright, Needham, RBC...

Shorts in control for now.

As you can see, with FDA approval they could get loan financing.

This is not guarantee of success, but someone is willing to loan out for rollout based on the approval.

As I said though, holding through FDA announcements is not worth it.

Well, it's never worked for me ... Trading after has been good for me. Well, except for holding overnights on ramps.

The market capitalization is less than one year's peak annual sales. Incredible.

Getting a little interesting here as it seems to be rounding and finding support at $5

Would like to see it catch and hold $5.10 bid.

Today is just another reason as to why buying and holding through FDA news is not worth it.

This company had good news (after years of delays) and still goes down.

I think this morning's news of debt financing is good for shareholders ...

But the risk to reward holding through is once again not positive. If it was poor news, you would expect it to drop 30-40%, so on positive news, you would expect more than a 30% rise.

Horrible to play through events .... Well, that's my experience.

Let's see if this can find support and bounce. That would make this interesting ...

Shorts dipped it when there was no buyers on the news.

Releasing positive news on a Friday afternoon can lead to a debacle like this.

Seems to have bottomed, may have to take a small position and see if it at least recovers to $7

Release good news after hours on Friday is odd, why not just hold it until Monday.

Usually only bad news comes out on Fridays.

FDA approval of YCANTH (cantharidin) topical solution for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum (molluscum) in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older.

This is obviously not IHubbers buying. Broke $7 this morning.

But it's giving up its gains almost every day, very frustrating

$2 million buys. Something, something

Ol Ernie just can't catch a break, bought at $2 today so of course it dropped below again.

One of these days Alice, zoom bang to da moon............. ohhh sorry wrong guy wrong show.

Right or wrong I bought some $2.35

Picked up some, what I hope, are cheapies - will know tomorrow I guess

The PDUFA was set up as May 24 2022 (only 40 days away), but this stock is keeping dropping. Not a serious concern, just wonder when it will be turning. I expect it will be around $15 in May.

Delay on approval..should be a short delay as FDA didn't have any issues with the drug only at one of the plants manufacturers

Great buy under $10 imo..FDA and company seem like they are working through the last few issues..insiders holding seems like..bought a few more today

Just read todays news - looking for a lil more drop to add.

I know I know - I'm a cheap lil guppie

Why the drop?

Here is good chance now to load up on some

This lil guppy wants to buy near where I bought last time - I don't think it goes that low but there I wait.

My bad I thought you were adding lil bits on the dips..

Wasn't paying attention, I figured SOMEONE would have given a heads up

Bought more on last dip below $10
Hope you were able to get some..

I have my spot to add but I really hope it doesn't hit, I'll adjust when I think the timing is right.

I hope you nibbled alot on those past dips!
Going higher FDA approval sometime early summer..new cash and market approved based on recent bounceback on share price

Nice turn around in the last couple of hours. Between the 13th and 17th of August. Insiders (CEO, CFO and Directors) bought $1.4 Million in shares. They know whats coming.

Looks like tomorrow I may be nibblin again if the profit takers knock it lower.

Right.. I just bought more on the 10 % profit taking.

Should have chomped on it instead of nibbles.

$6.65 avg so it's still pretty tasty

Nice nibbling
