  • sgiseller: $CARA Nice breakout, FINALLY
  • DrScience: $TLRY reports after the bell today. The stock opened near Friday's high and has sold off along with $ACB and $CGC which reported their quarterly results this morning. All these stocks are HTB, so a little good news from Tilray could help squeeze new shorts out of their positions. Also, watch $CARA, $ARNA, and $CRBP for earnings-related and pin-action moves tomorrow.
  • sgiseller: @Dan @Bridget $CARA looks like it is ripe for a break out, haveing based for a few months, is it wishful thinking on my part or ???
  • DAN: @sgiseller $CARA I don't see that at all. Maybe sometime in the future, but I think you're using your imagination too much...in my opinion.
  • sgiseller: @DAN $CARA Thanks Dan, Guilty as charged
  • spmeyers: $CARA coming out of a long base; 50-day is heading toward a bullish crossover of the 200 day
  • sgiseller: $CARA -28% on a phase 2 mixed trial results
  • bsafriet: $CARA Held through the sell-off this morning and now marginally down for the day. Has put in a higher low on the daily chart which is being tested RHRN. If this holds, provides an opportunity to enter/add. Long stock and call options.
  • sgiseller: $CARA just broke abv the 50 day, earnings Nov 5th
  • lostsheep: $CARA watch this one
  • bRobert: @lostsheep $CARA Tight consolidation Long term spec
  • bRobert: $CARA Another good spec in tightening consolidation Long term hold
  • phgruver: $CARA has been trading in a channel since 7/25. Earnings, on 8/7, were better than expected, and the stock has continued to grind sideways. The BB's have narrowed to about 8%, and may become tighter, as the trading range narrows. Right now, the channel is between $22.30 and $24, but to be a breakout, the price would have to clear $24.70, with volume. This pattern reminds me of how $TNDM looked two weeks ago, before it broke out....
  • bRobert: @phgruver $CARA $TNDM CARA doing nothing wrong. It has been a very Poor environment for . small caps /healthcare this will change
  • efrain007: @phgruver $CARA $TNDM Nice set up, one to watch for sure.
  • phgruver: Another worth watching, $CARA. Earnings are behind, and were better than expected. While its been trading sideways since mid July, the price is back above the 50DMA, and the moving averages are all in the right order. Last Thursday it hit an interim high of $24.73, about 4% above the current price. If it can break through that level, that clears the way back to the 52 week high of $27.55.
  • phgruver: @Tango Pre-market, the indexes are all up. At 9:20am, $DIA +1.18%, $IWM 1.12%, $QQQ 1.42% and $IWM 1.67%. What that means is that there is a general lift in stocks. Almost everything will open up. You need to be working from a watch list of stocks that are near good entries, that you know enough about to trade without guessing. I'm looking at $CVS, $PAYS $CARA and $SMH. I'm already in all of these and I'm looking to either add or take profits.
  • lostsheep: @phgruver $DIA $IWM $QQQ $CVS $PAYS $CARA $SMH Raymond James upgraded numerous chip stocks. Should be healthy for the $SMH
  • Tango: @phgruver $DIA $IWM $QQQ $CVS $PAYS $CARA $SMH Ok, excellent advice... I felt sort of "deer in the headlights" this morning.
  • bRobert: $CROX . Spec hold . c&h . $30+ . Short squeeze candidate $CARA . Long term hold . $DVA . gap filled . Watching for bounce . $72
  • Dale: any opinions on starting a position in $CARA?
  • bRobert: @Dale $CARA Start small Add with confirmation of your thesis on pb/bounces Higher lows WEEKLY chart breakout. pullback/retest Early hope for resumption of breakout phase 3
  • bRobert: $CARA nh $29 short term close WEEKLY target $36 with back filling Trailing stops
  • bRobert: $CARA printed nh. $28/$36 WEEKLY targets Long term hold
  • bRobert: $CARA continuation. Short term extended $36 long term $SRPT $Blue small add
  • bRobert: $CARA $24+ next Top of range.
  • bRobert: $BTAI . $18+ WEEKLY target . . with successful breakout from long consolidation. $CARA .nh . $28 . high base $DOVA . Flag $20 . with trigger
  • bRobert: $BTAI . Very tight congestion will be relieved soon. Long $CARA . nh . Long term spec hold
  • phgruver: $CARA was up another 4%, today, closing at $22.37. It broke out of an 8% squeeze, last Thursday, on below average volume, but has continued to run. Avg. vol., for this issue, is only 756K, so it is thinly traded, but if institutions take notice, it could go up in a hurry! (With a market cap. of 889M, it could also become a take over target....)
  • lostsheep: $CARA - another stock that may finally be breaking to a new range. The 20.8 area has been problematic for this stock since 10/18. above the recent high of 21.93 should clear the way for higher prices.
  • phgruver: @lostsheep $CARA $CARA's primary drug, Korsuva, is used to tread "itchiness" in patients on dialysis. The announced a successful phase 3 trial, using an injectable version of the drug, back on May 27. Now, teaming up with Enteris BioPharma, they've introduced an oral tablet, and are moving into phase 2 trials with it. Indications, so far, are positive, and the trial is widely expected to be successful. This is definitely one to watch.
  • lostsheep: @phgruver $CARA Thanks for the insight!

  • efrain007: @bRobert $CARA $VRA I was just looking for a day trade but at the moment doesn't look like they will gap/run
  • Kasey: $ACB, $CARA, $CRBP, $HEXO, $NTEC, $PYX, $MJ, $TCNNF, $CNTTF, $APHA, $TLRY, $GWPH, $OGRMF, $CGC, $NBEV @scottrades, What a "Value Add" by Dan, to have @ScotTrades. Great weekly videos and also, lately increasing tweets re: pertinent info intraday. Thank you.

There are no shortages of stocks with great chart set ups offering good entries and very favorable risk rewards. Keep track of this group and patiently wait to see if better opportunity presents itself. eg HMOS . Be selective especially in a market probing the top of a range.
  • lostsheep: $CARA - maybe not todays trade but marking time. If today's price action holds its the 3rd inside day on declining volume banging its head off the 200 daily.ema. Yesterdays high of 16.82 just above the current price. Short interest still showing 16%.. earning's still in the distance 3/14 and short term support in the 16 area. Jeffries assumed buy on 2/6 with a price target of 22.
  • bRobert: @lostsheep $CARA Well defined trade $20+ with flag trigger
  • spmeyers: $CARA low volume pullback to breakout zone from Friday; see break of long downtrend line on 1 -yr chart; taking starter position with tight stop
  • bRobert: @spmeyers $CARA nice
  • petros06: $CARA, possible bo of squeeze
  • phgruver: @petros06 $CARA First sign of life in this one, in a while.... It still needs to get above $16.45 for it to be a breakout. Lots of resistance from Oct. and Nov just overhead. I've got a small tracking position, but I'm not expecting much.
  • bRobert: $CARA squeeze . oozing . Unique opioid agonist . works on kappa receptor outside the brain. Treats pruritus (itching) . and pain without the dangerous opioid side effects.
  • bRobert: @lostsheep $CARA Long $CARA spec . Will add with positive priceaction
  • lostsheep: $CARA- tight squeeze 15% short interest. Earnings not till march. shame its below the 200 to possibly cap the move
  • woodman: @champ $CGC $POTN $NBEV $CRON $MSRT $TLRY $CANN $ACBFF $AMMJ $NEPT $CGA #Weed #Pot #positive #invest--- #Still-climbing -- Here is the rest of my list of #cannabis stocks.

  • kus123: @bRobert $IBB $TLRY $AMGN $VRTX $BIIB $REGN $CELG $CARA Thanks for you post. How do I know stock is Speculative or not?
  • bRobert: @kus123 $IBB $TLRY $AMGN $VRTX $BIIB $REGN $CELG $CARA The large cap names have strong revenues/earnings. Large cah reserves and strong institutional support. Some like $AMGN even pay a 2.5% dividend. Many of the specs have never had positive earnings, are dependent on cash infusions for survival, and many also have a small stock float that is more subject to whipsaw action. Many are dependent upon the development of only a handful of unproven drugs at best. Biotech and drug companies in general have headline risk based on medical study results as well as legislative changes to a smaller degree. You have much greater safety in an ETF that contains manybig players with great cash flows and and a better instinct for survival.

    $IBB . I'm a bit puzzled by the choice of biotech stocks reviewed in the strategy session. These are SPEC stocks. I own a few of them , but they .are not representative of the $IBB .I do not i ...
  • bRobert: $CARA Keep your eye on the flag. $32 target Long term hold
  • bRobert: $CARA Fantastic spec stock. 100% return in 4 months. . Targets $27/$32 Global healthcare conference presentation 10/3 may give stock a little nudge, Unique narcotic analgesic with great safety profile. Potential game changer
  • bRobert: $CARA slow motion breakout. Short squeeze $32 target Long term hold
  • bRobert: $CARA Triggered c&h yesterday on high volume Target 1 $27 WEEKLY target $32+ Long term hold. I will continue to add to this name on pullback bounces. Short squeeze potential 19% short 9d to cover. in this small cap with a unique potential game changing narcotic analgesic with a low potential for abuse and life threatening side effects. Atypical for this class of drug.
  • TraderG: @bRobert $CARA -- Sorry --if you have time --what is a C& H?
  • barbjim12: @TraderG $CARA cup and handle pattern
  • phgruver: @TraderG $CARA Actually, $CARA is a pretty good example of a C&H. It hit a high of $22.15 on 7/12, and then began an orderly pullback. It hit a low of $17.26 on 7/30 ( a 22% retracement) before beginning the recovery. On 9/13, it reached a hig ...
  • TraderG: @bRobert $CARA -Got it --thanks folks!!
  • bRobert: $CARA Don't forget the WEEKLY c&h Target $32+
  • DAN: @bRobert $CARA When you get a chance (no hurry), would you lay out your measurements for the target? I don't disagree with you, but I think it would be helpful to other members to see how you're making that assessment. (I like $CARA)
  • bRobert: @DAN $CARA I'm at my day job. I pop in during breaks. Brevity in posts betr than none.
  • bRobert: $HIIQ Look at the 5min chart multi day. This nicely shows this move unfold. Breakout from long sideways consolidation/squeeze. Use of VWAP to get a better entry. This is a long term hold for me. I was using this time frame for the best entry points for adds. Not a day trade for me although this would have been a healthy one with a $6 move Worked similarly with $CARA over several days.
  • DAN: @bRobert $CARA Agreed. You're doing great, bRobert. Keep it up. I love your posts, buddy.
  • bRobert: $CARA WEEKLY breakout $32+
  • ATX17: @bRobert $CARA Looks similar to the slope up in $CLF
  • bRobert: $CARA VERY strong. Long . will get longer $27/$32
  • phgruver: $CARA is almost at an ATH. I say "almost" because it took a jump-n-dump the week of 6/26/17, but if you factor that short, parabolic move out, this is the highest high since IPO.
  • bRobert: $CARA shorts. 9d to cover. I see a lot of pain in their future. I used to read palms and tell fortunes.
  • Motorman: @bRobert $CARA Polishing the crystal ball😅
  • bRobert: @Motorman $CARA Polished it with some water and a chamois. It really has help clean up my trades The future has much more clarity. I feel like Biff in Back to the Future.
  • 1993dean: Dan or anybody 2 charts $IBM and $CARA Thank you
  • bRobert: @1993dean $IBM $CARA What do you think about them? Look at the daily and weekly charts. Take a shot at it. No one will bite
  • phgruver: @1993dean $IBM $CARA I haven't been following $CARA, but the chart does look pretty good. Worth further study.

    I am a long term (LT) investor in $IBM. It's my largest single position, so I'm also a cheer leader. That said, while the chart looks c ...
  • bRobert: $CARA . Beautiful high base setup on both the daily/weekly. Printing nh's . WEEKLY target $32. Daily target $27. . Short interest is 15% . 9d to cover. Doesn't hurt. Long term hold

  • bRobert: @michaelH $CARA #bRobert I have a $32 target. and a long term view. You could add in scales if you like.
  • michaelH: @bRobert $CARA #bRobert I'm finding it tough to get an entry, and thought this pull back on the daily to the breakout level would work. Already have a 1/3 pos at 20.30
  • bRobert: $CARA Alert >22 Target $32 Long term hold
  • bRobert: $CARA flag. $32 target shorts 9d to cover. This could get VERY frisky with a move >$22 flag trigger
  • bRobert: $CARA flag waiting to fire off. Target $32 Long

  • lostsheep: $CARA off to the races on an upgrade from Jefferies
