Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Ohene]

you talking about ebay?

hes talking about coca cola. coca cola was very oversold for a bit thats why it was on my watchlist. Friday gave all these stocks a good pop though

 

[Ohene]

gonna do the knowledge on Dean Foods. I know it has divested some of its portfolio in its past; the more it drops the more likely itll become a takeover target especially in an industry that has seen considerable consolidation this year.

damn I missed out on coke. I may have to cop anyways

Edit: Just looked at the previous trends... That shyt moved like a dinosaur. I need my stocks to be about that action! I'll pass.

lol a lot of Dow Jones stocks are like that breh. Outside of Tech/Pharma at least

Mcdonalds is another stock thats been oversold

Coca Cola will eventually do something to reignite growth though. It still only sells beverages if I'm not mistaken but imagine if they got into the snack food space and stuck it to Pepsi



Mondelez, Diamond Foods, Smuckers and General Mills come to mind

no coca cola

say word. Ill be watching that IPO very very closely. seems like a desperation move on their part.

I got my eye on VRX right now...Thinking of puts for the short term. It's at a pivotal place right now with 125, , 121, 115 and 108 being key prices

down 17% sincee . bid and ask spreads were too wide to capitalize but shyt was textbook

Lets see if DF can close above 15.50

coke has a decent dividend as well

Intercept Pharmaceuticals announcing some news on their drug that treats fatty liver disease on Aug 11.

The last time they had some positive news months ago the stock tripled. They could be poised for another breakout. But they were supposed to announce something in July and pushed it back. That scared some people away.

What did I tell you guys.....up 40% after hours.

 

[Ohene]

of course DF goes back up before I can get in on it

Damn it. I gotta get back in this thread. Missed out on this one.

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Damn it. I gotta get back in this thread. Missed out on this one.

if you want some similar names to Intercept check out Arrowhead Research and Merrimack Pharma.

Arrowhead is supposed to announce some positive news in the third quarter for their method of silencing disease-causing genes. Announcing earnings today. Not sure if they'll say anything juicy or not.

Merrimack has a pancreatic cancer drug in phase 3. A lot of insider buying as well. They get approval it could soar.


Like a lot of these biotechs these are risky. Define how much risk you are willing to take. To be honest I'd rather straddle these names to hedge myself. But I see big moves in them one way or the other.

just on the eyeball test JASO seems due for a positive correction and with earnings coming...
do some dd to determine if you are comfortable going long if need be
It normally has good upside volatility (~10%) but lately has been dragging, I expect it to return to form (preceded by a glorious run) with any positive news

happy hunting and stay capt'n Kirk smooth
