  • woodman: $XBI $IBB - biotech continues to roll.
  • woodman: $XBI $IBB - current bio holdings: $ZBIO $CELC $BBIO $INSM $NKTR (and a small bit of $VKTX and $GPCR). Kicking myself for not buying $VRDN and $AXSM which were on my same shopping list (along with these others) months ago.
  • Motorman: @woodman $XBI $IBB $ZBIO $CELC $BBIO $INSM $NKTR $VKTX $GPCR $VRDN $AXSM IBD wrote a piece on $CELC Nov 10. Did not take a piece, now up 25% in 2 weeks. Missed it. More left in tank?
  • joelsg1: @woodman $XBI $IBB $ZBIO $CELC $BBIO $INSM $NKTR $VKTX $GPCR $VRDN $AXSM Awaiting clinical trial results for $AXSM Alzheimers and depression drugs due this Q-L.
  • woodman: @joelsg1 $XBI $IBB $ZBIO $CELC $BBIO $INSM $NKTR $VKTX $GPCR $VRDN $AXSM - I'm not fond of biotech binary events. Too many scars. Alzheimer's is a tough area, but I'll read up on it.
  • woodman: @Motorman $XBI $IBB $ZBIO $CELC $BBIO $INSM $NKTR $VKTX $GPCR $VRDN $AXSM - I don't think I saw the IBD article, but I bought CELC back right around then. I had it in the $50s, but didn't hang on, unfortunately. Bought it back in the mid $70s.
  • woodman: $XBI $IBB $XLV - biotech and healthcare are about all that's holding up.
  • Onthemark: Healthcare and Biotech inflows looking good $LLY, $MRK, $IBB, also like $ONDS, $GOOGL, $NRG, and lower volume $NVGS
  • woodman: Biotech - all of mine but one are green this morning. $XBI and $IBB holding up nicely.
  • bill52: $IBB $LABU continues to be impressive how well bio tech is performing despite all the negative talk on TV about the declining chances of a fed rate cut in Dec and overall market conditions. Given the rate sensitivity of this sector, its interesting to me that it doesn't seem to care. Just an observation......
  • woodman: @bill52 $IBB $LABU Lots of excitement due to shopping sprees by Big Pharma with patent expirations on the horizon or wanting assets in big therapeutic areas.
  • Onthemark: Holding $IBB as a less expensive option to owning shares in the top holdings consisting of $VRTX, $GILD, $AMGN, $REGN, $ALNY, $INSM
  • scottrades: ...

    There are a lot of Stock sectors working or close to a move. The Semis $SMH are back above the 8/21 complex. The Financials $XLF are just under the 50 Day MA. Healthcare $XLV is breaking up and out of consolidation. Biotech $IBB is close to a breako ...
  • traderbren: @scottrades $SMH $XLF $XLV $IBB $XLI $TAN $GOOGL $AAPL $NVDA $PLTR $IBM $GS $MS $F $NU - Well said, Scott.

  • scottrades: Nice close on $IBB

    I think Sam's note about the Hindenburg Omen is right on point because it's getting a lot of attention these days. He quotes Lowry Research:

  • joelsg1: @scottrades $TSLA $AAPL $GOOGL $AMZN $GS $JPM $MS $AVGO $CWRD $MDB $NU $IBB $XLV Typo on $CRWD which today announced E date delayed 1 week to 12/2 to avoid analyst/media dead period after Thanksgiving, don't know why they didn't catch this date anomaly before scheduling.

  • woodman: $BBIO #Biotech - back in with a BBIO starter, not big in case it keeps pulling back. I like the story and it was a mistake for me to sell this one back in Sept. I have only 3 biotechs currently: $INSM (held through earnings, so working out well), $NKTR, and BBIO. (I also note $VKTX has been on the move back, but I have no position in it. See $GPCR as well for the obesity med space.) Biotech doing very well. $XBI $IBB
  • SusanW: @texgecko $XBI $SPY I agree with you.I chose the $IBB which is doing equally well.
  • woodman: @ThomasP $XLV - $XBI and $IBB have been doing well.
  • ThomasP: @woodman $XLV $XBI $IBB Indeed ! But the other 2 are too extended for me; I might try $XLV this afternoon
  • woodman: $IBB $XBI - Biotech, already a suffering sector, is getting crushed on news of the braindrain as smart people are forced to resign from the FDA due to its takeover by anti-science leadership. At the same time, government funding that is vital to the discovery of important new drugs and biologics has been and continues to be taken away. The sector is untouchable except for shorts/fast traders.
  • joelsg1: @woodman $IBB $XBI Agree, except for $AMGN, the anti-tech. Smart guys, great pipeline 3.1% divi and they are playing the biosimilar game well. LT Long.
  • woodman: @marklesparkle $IBB $XBI - It's far worse than a shame. Lives are at risk, and we are already seeing it in real time with Measles outbreaks around the country due to disinformation casting doubt about vaccines and pushing Vitamin A as a purported substitute to treat and protect against Measles. Kids are now appearing in hospitals with both Measles and Vitamin A toxicity.
  • marklesparkle: @woodman $IBB $XBI Yes sir I saw Dr. Gottlieb on CNBC this morning
  • DavidK: @woodman $IBB $XBI coming from all the millions that illegally entered the country most likely . No one has stopped or prevented anyone from getting a vaccine if that’s what they want . I never understood if you are vaccinated and I am not then what are you concerned about ? I thought the vaccines worked .
  • woodman: @DavidK $IBB $XBI - Good point. Why should I care if Americans are dying due to disinformation from those leading healthcare in our country as long as I am good? Hmm, I have to think about why I care about that. Yeah, screw everyone else, including c ...
  • DavidK: @woodman $IBB $XBI my daughter had a rough pregnancy in 2020 . She had 3 Dr’s . One female doctor would not stop telling her to get the Covid vaccine . Daughter finally had her removed as one the Dr’s . Since there has been very credible ...
  • cgendro1: @woodman $IBB $XBI- I wish I could assume the "science is right!" Unfortunately, every institution in this country has been corrupted including the "science." Unfortunately, the grant process out of the NIH has corrupted much. As someone retired from the medical industry, I have seen way too much though certainly not all is bad.
  • woodman: @cgendro1 $IBB $XBI https://x.com/DrNeilStone/status/1855972406143115448
  • woodman: @DavidK $IBB $XBI $x - Sorry to hear about your health, and I hope you return to good health in the future if not already there. I hear what you are saying. You are correct that there is non-zero chance of severe side effects with the covid vaccine. From a Google Search Labs result (which may or may not be correct because AI is way too often inaccurate, unfortunately - that's a whole other discussion) - Rare, severe side effects: Hospitalization due to COVID-19 vaccine side effects has been very uncommon, occurring in only 0.3% of cases. Severe allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions have also been rare, occurring in approximately 0.6% of those vaccinated.The measles vaccine, which it what I had been discussing, works and is safe. Good visual as to efficacy here, fwiw: https://x.com/DrNeilStone/status/1855972406143115448 Measles in adults is very serioius.
  • DavidK: @woodman $IBB $XBI $x heart all good now since I had the ablation procedure in 2020 . Had it for 20 years plus and it was out of rhythm 20% of the time . Huge stroke issue . That watchman procedure claims to prevent blot clotting in the heart thus no ...
  • woodman: @DavidK $IBB $XBI $x - A buddy of mine has Afib. He's on medication, but I don't know what. I know he watches his condition closely. There's some monitoring he does with all his crazy tech gadgets, but I don't know the particulars. Perhaps you'd bene ...
  • DavidK: @woodman $IBB $XBI $x I bought like 5 new putters last year . Presently using an Evenroll mallet style . I do have an old Ping Anser I use to be deadly with . I had to back out of Member/ Member last week because of back issues . Did play this sat with son and some of his buddies. 39-35 so I was pleased considering haven’t been able to practice. We did have some swing oil that made it beetle on my back . Going to the pain Dr Wednesday. I have lumbar arthritis and Lunbar Stenosis. Basically nerve damage and shoots down leg . I told chiropractor I am too young to not play golf so somebody , somehow is gonna make it better .Younger brother has same issues . Mom had bad arthritis. Anyway I have always stayed in shape gym wise so hopefully Pain Dr can help .
  • Bert953: @DavidK $IBB $XBI $x Reminds me of the tale of Pablo and the bandito. A story I heard at a RE seminar years and years ago. Bottom line is Pablo is the person that gains from your loss, so they craft a narrative, truth being detrimental.

  • DavidK: @Bert953 $IBB $XBI $x 💯
  • bill52: $IBB $LABU biotech looking interesting for another move higher. must be anticipating that Sept rate cut. However, I'm not adding on these until i see how the volume and price are looking near the close. Looks good in the first hour but that doesn't tell the story. worth watching.
  • bill52: $IBB $LABU from my comment this morning, these looked interesting to add and the IBB is currently at a new high (by a buck or two), but the volume just isn't there for either of them. Will have to wait to Monday to see if more buyers show up with conviction. At least the charts are hanging in there.
  • shoredriver: @bill52 $IBB $LABU ...vol on $LABU is fine....
  • bigbartabs: @bill52 $IBB $LABU ... if and when I trade $LABU, I use $XBI for my trigger. It seems to be more correlated than $IBB

  • bill52: $IBB $LABU so far this morning another solid move staying above the 50ema. Biotech liking the prospect of no more rate increases (hopefully).
  • Onthemark: @bill52 $IBB $LABU Yes!, Long from below and added
  • bill52: $IBB $LABU Noteworthy. a couple bio tech ETF's I follow and as of today, both are trading above the 50ema. haven't seen this since back in the summer. certainly not out of the woods by any stretch but a positive development in a badly beaten down sector. maybe a green shoot. have a small position to keep it on the radar.
  • woodman: @DavidK $ARDX - Biotech - the entire sector, see $XBI $IBB - is a graveyard. Good individual biotech companies are being decimated along with the bad ones. My target pullback for ARDX has been 3.40-3.42 as a first stop; if that fails, 3.16 area.
  • traderbren: $IBB - looking constructive with the MA's stacked, the 50d crossing up through the 200d, and trying to clear the 20d overhead. NP as yet.

  • DAN: ...
    Good morning. Futures are up a bit this morning, but nothing to get excited about. There is no real change in anything. Energy and biotech are the places to be. The status of the charts of these two sectors is pretty different. While the energy ...
  • bigbartabs: @DAN $XLE $XOP $OIH $DJUSBT $IBB ... 2 airliners... Well, luckily in trading... we are all Superman, and can break out the emergency door... and fly over to the other airliner. The best part? We don't need Kryptonite. Just Keyboard.
  • wineinquirer: @scottrades $NBIX Weekly uncovers 4y wide consolidation w/"potential" 200 after >135. Member of $XBI, its 3x cousin $LABU, $IBB. Watch for earnings reaction next wk. Still in middle of consolidation box so don't jump. Keep eyes on long term.
  • scottrades: My notes: $SPY /$QQQ Chop City $TNA Day 2 $UUP Still in an uptrend. $TNX Near the highs $TAN Nice day 2 $DRIP Inverse Oil $SMH Holding the slope $ARKK Holding the higher low $IBB /$XBI Big volume $URA Don’t ignore the yellow cake $TSLA In for a cup of coffee $AAPL Not leading $AMZN at the 50 Day $NVDA Holding the Weekly low $AMD Day 2 $ON Big move, strong close, wish it was tighter. $WOLF This is the risk if you chase. $ENPH Took partials today. $SEDG Extended $ARRY Unable to break out yet. $CSIQ Downgraded, but holding the 21 EMA $SHLS Downgraded, shook it off. $RUN Dan mentioned today $CI Basing $HUM At the 50 Day $CALM A Bit wide but near some highs $CELH Let’s talk abou Buy Points $ANET Good volume into the close. $QSR Mentioned in the forum

Especially in this chop, you help me stay focused on risk. I appreciate when you say it’s ok to miss a stock that is going up to focus on risk management. This market has really messed with my head. Thanks for keeping us grounded. You Dan and Rocky do such a great job. But most importantly you care.

Stick to your pedagogy. It works for me. Tremendous value to the assemblage.
  • scottrades: ...
    When it’s really hard to get a sense of what sector is leading I tend to cycle through the ETFs and look for ones that meet my criteria for a potential trade. As you know I’ve been looking at $TAN, $XLE, $OIH, $SMH and $IBB and stocks wi ...
  • bigbartabs: @scottrades $SPY $TAN $XLE $OIH $SMH $IBB ... ditto. I'm as small as i've been in a long time. Essentially out. Here's why your words are so important for all of our traders here... I've beat the 4 indexes $DJI $SPX $NDX $RUT by a large margin, total assets, for 5 of the last 6 trading days... just by being out. I consider that a very easy way to trade. Like you... the time will come when we can do "life changing money". But the trick is... having the discipline and patience to wait for it... and not fritter away your money until then. This market has been truly a disaster for some time. But times will change.. as soon as the trigger occurs (and it will), for traders to feel the FOMO with this big down draft... "The opportunity". FWIW... all the best...
  • scottrades: @majida_perveen Sure, I posted like 10 ideas below. I think $IBB looks good. I think $MCK looks good. $BJ Looks good. $SHLS has clear support at the 21 EMA but it's an early entry.
  • scottrades: My video notes: $SPY/$QQQ Follow the Bouncing Ball $UUP Breaking out $TNX Still high. $ARKK Hammer? $TAN Channel? $XLE Steep fall $SMH Hammer? $XLY Holding the 50 Day $IBB Good volume. $IGV Watch for a rebound #Bitcoin 20K-ish $AAPL At the 50 Day $AMZN Same $TSLA Needs to hold the low $MSFT Same $ENPH Watching Solar $SHLS/$ARRY COTD $CSIQ Basing $FSLR Holding the 8EMA $MCK Sold this but still decent $CI Holding near the 21 EMA $COST Holding some MAs $BJ Still in an uptrend. $VRTX Another slope
  • Motorman: @woodman looks like $XBI and $IBB are at previous resistance with 50W just above. Holding $LABU
  • woodman: @Motorman $XBI $IBB $LABU - I have some $XBI but it could be some work to get through 96-100 level with that prior resistance. I want it to hold the 8dEMA.
