  • stairm01: $PIRS Bullish engulfing candle today on volume. Stock has picked up some volume as of 7/29 and presently climbing the upper BB for the last 2 weeks. I saw it pull back yesterday and told myself, "Self, watch for a green move in the morning. " I did watch today, and watched, and watched, and watched. And finally at $5.80 I had enough. Why do stocks to this to us humans?

  • stairm01: $PIRS Dan's Bases and Entries tutorial helped me look at charts a little different, as does many things Dan points out. Looking at $PIRS since mid April, it consolidated in a slight upward trend, then ran 20% on volume. Consolidated and pulled back,, then ran up 20% on volume. Now consolidating again.
  • stairm01: $PIRS and $DAN Both showing signs of moving higher off of a bottom pattern. Just crossed the 50 dma and have higher than normal volume for multiple days. Institutional buying? I'm long stock both.
  • petros06: Note: $PIRS announces earnings 8/10, unconfirmed@stairm01 $PIRS $DAN
  • stairm01: @petros06 $PIRS $DAN Yep, thanks. I've been in stock accumulating for a while at lower prices, so have a profit I'm carrying through earnings.
  • spmeyers: $PIRS remember this one? broke long downtrend recently and now looks ready to challenge 200-day m.a. again
  • stairm01: $PIRS Could be starting phase 3 of a VS. Was not a Dan VS, but this stock looks to be moving off the bottom.
  • stairm01: $PIRS Started a position today. Looks like buying with volume into the close and on a 3 month chart it is going to move and close above the 20 dma which it hasn't done for a while. Key will be for it to move on higher above the 20. Close/tight stop.
  • barbjim12: $PIRS Bouncing off bottom Can't find any info on move. Want to pile in after starter position. Any thoughts?
  • Reif99: @barbjim12 $PIRS Doesn't take much money (relatively speaking) to move that stock - it's pretty thinly traded (again, relatively speaking). Doesn't have to have any news to have a little move like that. If you bought here you'd definitely be buying against the trend. I'd have to ask myself why I thought today was different than June 1st, 6th, 8th, or 18th.
  • petros06: 20 and 50 day MAs are in a downtrend@barbjim12 $PIRS
  • stairm01: @barbjim12 $PIRS My thoughts, hope you got a starter position down here versus when I bought my first around Feb. 15 at $9:00. I added along the way getting faked out many times thinking the stock was finally going to move higher. I finally dumbed my only big loser last week at $5.21. Should've done it along time ago, but ignored all of those signals. It's amazing the relief you get when you finally get rid of a stock that you broke all rules on. Hope it all works out for you, but I moved on.
  • stairm01: $PIRS Just beginning a big move intra day. HIGH volume. Looks good on the 3 month chart with a high volume day. Long stock.
  • CoyoteDuster: Stopped out of $PIRS, $GOOG, $AMZN, $AAPL have been dropping since about 11:00
  • champ: @CoyoteDuster $PIRS $GOOG $AMZN $AAPL ---- Day traders are at work...taking profits.
  • Junior1: @champ $PIRS $GOOG $AMZN $AAPL Daytraders selling now, have losses?!
  • champ: @Junior1 $PIRS $GOOG $AMZN $AAPL ---- Swings from Friday and other traders...most all retail day traders have bad #timing this morning and can't hold. Others are trading size....institutions...like $GS and other paid traders....machines are trading large size and harvesting profits on small moves. There is another world out there...and they are trying to take your $$$...be aware because that is whats going on. The big players... are paid profession traders....and it is happening RHRN....they suck you in and then they sell.
  • stairm01: $PIRS Finding some footing this morning after a 14 day slide. There use to be someone in the forum that would watch these kind of slides and start buying after 10-12 down days counting on a rebound. I don't remember who it was.
  • stairm01: $PIRS Finally getting some legs under it after 9 down days and a capitulation day on Friday. Long stock.
  • meched54: $PIRS reported earnings down maybe over sold?
  • woodman: @meched54 $PIRS - I haven't seen anything about the company's statements (in conjunction with earnings and progress updates today) that would reasonably cause this drop. For now, bouncing off old double top resistance (10/5 and 11/27) - i.e. new support. Not very heartening, but that's all I got.
  • justinp: $PIRS I'm in this for a longer-term hold so just watching but looks like a nicely defined risk if it bounces off the 50 sma.
  • petros06: $PIRS up .34 in pre-market to $9.20. Add to position? any thoughts?
  • traderbren: @petros06 $PIRS - wait to see if it holds the pre=mkt move. You want to see it move and stay above $9.31-ish on Volume before adding.
  • petros06: thx@traderbren $PIRS
  • KemoSabe: $PIRS - The offering of in excess of 5.5 million shares yesterday has been soaked up and the stock is still being accumulated. Somebody still likes this stock. I am one of them.
  • woodman: @KemoSabe $PIRS - I was one of them soaking it up yesterday. Nice gift. :-)
  • debeers: $PIRS-thought you might want to know---------NPIn health care stocks news, Pieris Pharmaceuticals (PIRS) shares fell 11% in pre-market trading after the company said Wednesday it plans to raise $44 million in gross proceeds from an underwritten public offering of 5.5 million of its own shares at a price of $8.00 per share, a 15.3% discount to Tuesday's closing price.
  • woodman: $PIRS - fyi, I posted a bunch of stuff on PIRS last evening -- about the offering as well as a recent pact with $SGEN.
  • thehook1: $QURE & $IO movin up stops...making up for $PIRS :(
  • justinp: $PIRS Recovering through the day after it's drop.
  • Bob E: @rachel $COTD $GRUB $SNAP $TWTR $SPX $DJI $MDY $IWM $NDX $XBI $IMGN $BLUE $PIRS $NKTR $EXEL $HQY $RHT $WB $ANET $IPGP $ISRG Good Morning, I have not received yesterday's strategy session in my mailbox. Was one sent out? Thanks
  • jeffslm: $PIRS - So much for tombstone doji
  • woodman: @jeffslm $PIRS - I added a little to mine this morning. I didn't think it was in a great spot to be buying or adding, so I kept the add small. That was about 4% ago, so I guess I should have taken a bigger bite.
  • jeffslm: @woodman $PIRS - Unfortunately I sold mine based on commentary, $10 seems to be the magnet but I hope to have a chance to reload lower. So it goes...
  • woodman: @jeffslm $PIRS - yeah, I wouldn't chase here. I hate chasing which is why I added only a little this morning. Wait for to come back in.
  • Kid2old: $PIRS Stopped out at 8.83 on half of my position on Monday, average price around 8.00. Today’s stop on the remainder at about 9.23 which I placed about an hour ago.
  • mharps: @Kid2old $PIRS am long March 1 7.50's I am sort of inclined to give it another day or two to see if it hits 10-i do see declining volume-we'll see
  • jeffslm: @woodman $PIRS - Agreed on not chasing at this point.
  • DrScience: $PIRS announces Public stock offering. no size disclosed... yet.
  • woodman: @DrScience $PIRS - ¡Hay Caramba!
  • DrScience: @woodman $PIRS ¿Adónde fue mi dinero?
  • woodman: @DrScience $PIRS - En el inodoro.
  • woodman: @DrScience $PIRS - fwiw, I will be adding to PIRS at some point. I added a tiny bit today but didn't trust it because it felt like chasing. No, I didn't know a secondary was coming, but I hate chasing which kept me from going overboard. So, I have PIRS cash to add more, lower. Glass half-full (if not more).
  • woodman: @DrScience $PIRS - 5.5M shares Secondary price range $8.00-$8.50
  • woodman: $PIRS - it is raising cash with this secondary to advance PRS-343 which is their prized asset. https://www.pieris.com/news-and-events/press-releases/detail/584/pieris-pharmaceuticals-announces-public-offering-of-common Also this (announced 2/9): Pieris, Seattle Genetics pen $1.2B biobucks pact for next-gen cancer drugs http://us20.chatzy.com/13006826078402
  • Gary: ...
    $PIRS – getting extended...but obviously under accumulation. 3 above-average volume days.
    Forexpro’s stocks: Great post on Sunday. Didn’t see it until today. Will cover some of these today, and look at the rest tomorrow.

    $ABBV &nd ...
  • woodman: $PIRS - flying this morning.
  • captron: @woodman $PIRS It came up on my scan using Minervini's template looking for VCP stocks.
  • woodman: @captron $PIRS - nice, thanks. I'm kicking myself for not adding on Friday. But I've been a little gun shy in the current environment.
  • traderbren: @woodman $PIRS - looking good. Long, but looking to add to my initial position.
  • justinp: $PIRS Stopped out. Nice quick run. May reload tomorrow depending.
  • rachel: ...
    5. $PIRS – gap, run...and reverse. This is a “tombstone doji” on high volume.
    6. $NKTR – Holding above $70...but note the decline. 30% in less than 2 weeks.
    7. $EXEL – set alert
    8. $HQY – breakout. Resistance ...
  • KemoSabe: $PIRS - On the move this morning after striking a deal with Seattle Genetics.
  • KemoSabe: $PIRS - I mentioned this one earlier today. One that Dan spoke about in the past. It is hitting a new high today on double the average volume. This is not Tom, Dick and Harry buying all this stock.
  • KemoSabe: $PIRS - Full disclosure. Been in this stock since Dan mentioned it. I have a stop just below $8.00.
  • woodman: @KemoSabe $PIRS - I have some PIRS as well. Best of luck. :-)
  • DAN: @KemoSabe $PIRS Nice job, KemoSabe. 8-)
  • KemoSabe: $PIRS - Even in this downdraft, $PIRS holding strong.
  • jeffslm: $pirs - Strong stock in weak market. One to keep on the radar.
  • spmeyers: @jeffslm $pirs agree
  • antfarm: $PIRS Stopped out @ 7.40.
  • DragonFly: $PIRS stopped out
  • issues: @DragonFly $PIRS my stop was missed by one cent ! Wow. Stop $7.50, low $7.51. Close. I added to CVGI (better chart!)
  • traderbren: $PIRS - getting closer to popping the top.
  • DragonFly: $PIRS - breaking out
  • DAN: $PIRS breakout. (as noted by dragonfly at 10:05). If you are taking action on this, I'd recommend keeping a stop around $7.65. If PIRS falls below today's low, the breakout is likely a bear trap. Since this is biotech, it could go to the moon, or to heaven's basement. Biotech is always risky...so keep that in mind. --Dan
  • antfarm: $PIRS Bought a pint size starter position yesterday at $7.70 Added some at $8.15.
  • infocus: $PIRS Bought starter position @7.96
  • issues: @infocus $PIRS Good move. I think you are "IN FOCUS!" So am I. I followed you and bought with a stop at $7.29 just in case I goofed! This is one of Dan Fitzpatrick's picks. I like the bounce off the 20 day and both 20 day and 50 are moving up. Thanks for the tip! I'll treat you to a bear, err a beer!
  • infocus: @issues $PIRS No bear, please! ;>) Hope it works out well for you. If so, I might join you for a beer - where are you?
  • justinp: $PIRS Squeezing close to ATH.
  • woodman: @justinp $PIRS I passed on PIRS about two years even though I took it in a biotech picking contest on Twitter. Now looking at it again.
  • Gary: ...
    $PIRS – Squeezing.  Biotech company has no earnings…but revenue is growing.  Treats iron deficiency, inflammatory diseases and cancer.
    Price Alerts:

    $THO – Fakeout.  Not buyable now.  Wait for new high… ...
  • shoredriver: @Gary $GLD $AEM $NEM $SPX $DJI $NDX $TREX $SUM $LOPE $CARA $BLUE $INTU $PIRS $THO $PRAH $CZR $CTRL $TWTR $GWPH $FAST $NAV $YELP #Notes WOW....notes look great....Rachel better look out......@Dan thanks for finally firing up some focus on the pot stocks...
  • indigo1948: @judysteiner - take a look at some Biotech - news of possible interest in $JUNO has some issues moving - obviously they are very volatile - $JUNO, $BLUE, $SUPN and $PIRS.
  • mepcc1: $PIRS - @Dan - @anyone - is this one part of Dan's Growth List - vaguely seem to think it was but not sure? Consolidating at recent high level with support just below 50dma.
  • pookie: @mepcc1 $PIRS As Dr. Science would say, here let me check that for you, http://stockmarketmentor.com/growth-stocklist/, no, not at this time. lol
  • mepcc1: @pookie $PIRS - Thanks - that is the one place I did not think to check - brain already weekend time!
  • bsnceo: $PIRS Sec. 13(d) filings show some big sellers of shares including some apparently acquired by exercise of options
  • JBed: $PIRS at HOD.
  • mgoodw: @DAN $PIRS $ONCE any thoughts on getting into these at this point?
  • spmeyers: @mgoodw $PIRS $ONCE stay away from ONCE; lots of overhead above; better charts abound
  • DAN: @mgoodw $PIRS $ONCE I closed PIRS just this morning b/c it was obviously going into Phase 2, and I didn't have so much profit in it that I was willing to just sit back and let it fall. I'll watch it...but I think it's got to rest for a while now. ONCE -- Not my trade. It's rallied quite a bit since the December selloff. Not for me -- it's got a lot of supply overhead. Just my opinion, but I think it's going to have trouble here. I've learned that I make more money buying uptrending stocks that are coming out of sound bases than I do buying these oversold snapbacks.
  • mgoodw: @DAN $PIRS $ONCE Thank you!
  • Vehid: started small positions in $HMNY and $PIRS with tight stops
  • sleepy2076: @Dan $pirs I’m looking to start a position but it seems the stock is pretty high now, is it too late?
  • mharps: @sleepy2076 $pirs time frame dependent it seems to me-I'm holding mine
  • mgoodw: @CHOFF $PIRS Hi Choff! Can you please explain what you mean by "in thirds?" Do you mean 1/3 of the stock price? Thanks!
  • spmeyers: @sleepy2076 $pirs risky to get in now; if you do, keep tight stop
  • rachel: ...
    7. $PIRS – common squeeze pattern. More buying interest.
    8. $NBIX – pushing out of base.
    9. $WYN – uptrending volatility squeeze breakout.
    10. $EDU – Buy stop at $95
    11. $FND – good upside momentum on this recent IPO.
    ...
  • indigo1948: $PIRS - took a starter position today.
  • DAN: @indigo1948 $PIRS I closed my position this morning, but only because I had a really good profit in it from yesterday, and didn't know how far this reversal will go. Still don't know. But I always err on the side of protecting quick profits. I'm looking for the stock to continue higher (discussed this last night)...but I'll wait for it to find some support before re-initiating a position. --Dan
  • DAN: @DAN $PIRS By the way, I'm back in with a small position. My stop is just below $7.00. I'm being a bit more reserved than usual because of where we are in the calendar. Even though I don't manage money professionally, I do hold myself to annual performance goals, and am in protection mode this week.
  • indigo1948: @DAN $PIRS - have my stop at $7.00 also - not expecting big swings the rest of this week.
  • DAN: $PIRS -- nice breakout in this biotech name. $7 is current resistance now. $6.50 is breakout level. Stop would go below $6.50, which should be used to determine position size.
  • AlexH: @DAN hi Dan, would you please comment on $PIRS when you have a chance? not sure where or how we submit our requests, i hope this is the right method?
  • AlexH: $PIRS anyone or thoughts on this, looking like a coil spring?
