- DBones808: @mradams0621 $LGND your chance to get in this has arrived
- Pokersmith: @DBones808 $LGND Pretty sharp/steep pullback, don't you think?
- TraderinTraining: Too short? $LGND has significant short interest (41%, 10 days) , yet the fundamentals look strong. It looks extended but perhaps the party will continue. Life is too short.
- scottto_2: $LGND - Unbuyable
- tartan: I combined IBD with Scot and came up with a winner this morning $LGND It is #10 in IBD's Fifty Using the 10 minute chart I got in first thing this morning and just got out for a NICE 8 point trade
- tartan: @wanda1616 I got in and out of $LGND this morning for an 8 point trade Instead of selling half I sold the whole thing
- scottrades: @tartan $LGND #10 BOOM! I love seeing your progress. Well done my friend.
- mradams0621: @tartan $LGND Nice trade. Thanks for sharing. Looks like it's trying to even higher now lol. Damned if you do, damned it you don't.
- tartan: $LGND evidently did not mind me selling out @ 189 this morning She went on and had a GREAT day
- champ: $LGND....I and others posted about this,.....and #Alerts hit this stock today,...this was set-up on an Alert-Watch-List, waiting for Action,...no pre-planned-set-up == No-Profits.
- mradams0621: $LGND @tartan My daily log includes your trade posts earlier today on $LGND. Note says- WOW, that's a money maker pattern on the hourly chart with a break above $190. Woulda coulda shoulda trade. No position. Bummer, missed a good one. Thanks for sharing but give me a "buy buy buy" call out next time. That was a pound the table trade.

The swings took some profits off, as expected but they are now getting right back-in at a lower price.

- Herb: $LGND a Corona virus picks & shovels stock? "Ligand’s Captisol technology has enabled several ground-breaking medicines, and we are now seeing partners increase their orders in support of clinical studies of the antiviral drug remdesivir, which is being actively assessed for the treatment of the new strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19," said John Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Ligand. "We have invested significantly in the Captisol technology and supply chain over the years to enable the development and manufacture of important medicines that address significant medical needs. We stand ready to fulfill additional future orders of Captisol for use in formulating remdesivir, as needed."
- shrholder: @DAN - can you help with regard to $LGND - bought late yesterday just above VWAP when things were looking reasonable for a tight stop... unfortunately after mkt closed news that they sold something came out and it looks like the market does not like it... this low vol stock is looking like it may take a several dollar drop at the open... Suggestions on how to play it are appreciated...
- DAN: @shrholder $LGND Sorry, shrholder. Just saw your post. I'd sell LGND if it falls to a new intraday low. Current low is $107.87. If it falls below that level, I think you've got to just cry Uncle and get out. But if it holds up, then hang onto it...while keeping your stop just below $107.87. I'd then be looking to sell into any strength over the next several days. The stock really looks like it's under pressure, and you don't want to be trading the "hope" strategy. Sorry this happened to you. :-\
- shrholder: @DAN $LGND Thanks Dan - believe me I am crying uncle... sold 1/2 already planning to sell the rest soon... its not worth the distraction I have from it. Probably will take a bit to "make it back" but the pain will make me remember to just avoid all low volume stocks. they really are just not worth it as I have never had luck over my many years trading them.
- shrholder: @DAN $LGND glad I sold it all before it broke that low... (hard to believe I said I'm glad I took a $11.75 avg loss) but now with it down $15 plus it just reconfirms the (your) saying - that your first loss is your best loss (even though it's painful)! good trading wishes to all...

Most of them are small with small profit/loss. I wonder if you could give me some quick suggestion as which ones to drop and which ones to add?
- optionswealth: @genki $TAL $ALRM $TBK $ETSY $LVS $ABT $NOW $LGND $HRC $VNOM Etsy is on the long term hold list. Take it from there on this one and it is also important to know your time frame for holding. What type of trader are you. $TAL is just resting. it is in the winners circle (going from lower left to upper right) and sitting on the 8 day ema.
- issues: @optionswealth $TAL $ALRM $TBK $ETSY $LVS $ABT $NOW $LGND $HRC $VNOM You've got some good stocks. Why not just hold them for the long term?

It has the makings of a Phase 2 move out of that squeeze. The stock looks like it would have a lot of churning to do before it would move higher than $180. --Dan

- optionswealth: @issues $LGND You could drive a semi through the options and no open interest. The MACD looks good and the chart has some room to get back to its ATH.
- issues: Like the song, "I get by with a little help from my SMM friends." Thanks for inputing. I value all your posts. Today I sold (finally) $OLED and bought $LGND $MNST $WMT $CASA!! Hurray! I'm going to make some dough!

- BioHazMD: $LGND Those who took their eyes off $LGND after earnings may want to refer back. It is close to breaking out.
- justinp: @woodman $AUPH Right, along with $LGND and $SRPT I'm being patient but trusting to stops.....
- danyhage44: $LGND Dropping today post earnings. Feels good that I sold ahead of earnings. Saved the aggravation.
- justinp: $LGND I'd be very interested in anyone's view on this heavily shorted stock. Down after earnings but recovered substantially.
- tigerjohn8: @justinp $LGND todays action stopped me out. reluctant to reenter.
- gmj: @justinp $LGND I set a stop at 108.85 earlier and I will raise if possible by the end of the day.
- issues: @tigerjohn8 $LGND This reminds of the chart of $ESPR. Whip saw to the point of psychotic behavior.
- justinp: @issues $LGND $ESPR Thanks all.
- DAN: @danyhage44 $AAOI $LGND -- by the way, danyhage44. Don't ignore LGND. They report after the bell. Always risky to own a stock over earnings...but 27% of the float is short. So any kind of upside surprise could push this stock out of a 6 month base. ( Happy to hear you are making money...and learning to manage risk rather than be a gunslinger).
- danyhage44: @DAN $AAOI $LGND Thanks for the feedback. I sold LGND before the close today. Did not want to hold over earnings. Trying to be disciplined :)). I think that is a great advice you give to everyone and I am sticking to it. I appreciate the feedback on all this. Thanks
- bwcarnation1: $LGND no covering today. I sold.
- tilman: $LGND Dan, when trading a short squeeze like LGND how loose/tight should one place a stop?
- JBed: $LGND @Dan, could this be the beginning of the short squeeze?
- tigerjohn8: @JBed $LGND $CZR sorry @JBed, I'm not Dan, but I am wondering if in a short squeeze we should expect to see outstanding short interest decline . It would be nice to know if a stock is rising and may soon trigger short squeeze or whether the short squeeze is on. I'm hold both $LGND and $CZR hoping for short squeezes. Unfortunately I only have ETrade to see short interest and it is frequently different than the numbers Dan or other will report Right now Etrade is saying for $CRZ that "Short Interest as % of Float 22.44% " CRZ is up but the short interest is staying the same. Maybe Etrade only calculates this occasionally. Hmmmm.
- Obsxllc: $LGND my apologies....
- spmeyers: @Obsxllc $LGND looks like it has room to run still
- Kurt1: $LGND is anybody else in this stock?
- JBed: @Kurt1 $LGND I'm in from yesterday.

- rokey: @Kurt1 $LGND I am, long calls.
- tigerjohn8: $LGND When was it @Dan said $LGND going above 10 might trigger short squeeze??? I bought small position. should be interesting
- JBed: @tigerjohn8 $LGND Yes, waiting for the fun to begin!
- danyhage44: $LGND Just took a position in LGND. Was waiting for confirmation. Any feedback is welcome.
- spmeyers: @danyhage44 $LGND volume could be better but it's not bad
- Junior1: @rokey $LGND Options look thinly traded with huge B/A spreads.
- DAN: @tigerjohn8 $LGND 28% of float is short. 22 days to cover. Should be VERY interesting. (Nothing is a sure thing. The shorts are there for a reason. We're just looking at the dynamics of the stock -- no guarantees).
- tigerjohn8: @DAN $LGND UNDERSTOOD. No guarantees. Ergo small position
- bigbartabs: @DAN $LGND ... shorts... I must not understand short trading. When a stock is in an obvious move upward move like this (as are many other short squeezes like this)... who would stay short? Do you think the bulk of short traders that get themselves into big squeezes like this are just not with the program, retail traders not knowing what they are doing? I can't imagine being a big money manager and letting these big losses mount, with more risk building every day.. Whomever it is, they must not be technical chart traders... or very poor at it. Thoughts?
- arrow: @bigbartabs $LGND $STRP - Look at Straight Path, end of March 3.4 million shares short, as of April 13 still 2.8 million shares short. Those shorts are at prices down in the 30's. Think that's just retail?
- danyhage44: $LGND It looks like this stock is about to break resistance of $110
- JBed: @danyhage44 $LGND ER is on May 9. Dan mentioned this in last night's session - huge short interest.
