Today’s Watchlist
Solid trade in $EARS today, though I probably should scaled in more. Market was wacky and most my watches were all down right at the open and I don’t chase so I didn’t have many options to trade. Though that being said if there was ever a day to chase shorts today would have been it. $SUNE, wow what a gift! While I have gotten annoyed with small profits so far in 2016 it is encouraging to see stuff like this from a guy like Nate @investorslive:
Trading is about preserving what you have in times like this and if you’re not careful or chasing a loss trade after trade it starts to compile faster than you know. I’m a broken record in this market because I know these are the times that separate the ones that trade long term vs the ones that had just been getting lucky dip buying and it working out. This is when plans and stops matters. – Nate @investorslive
I’m green EVERY trading day in 2016, I have not SMASHED or NAILED anything, but after reading Nate’s quote I’m pretty happy with my trading so far.

Auris Medical Holding AG (EARS) -NasdaqGM
Though I think it fails I don’t wait it right at $7 on a Friday, ideally $7.50 for a starter then add to a winner.
MeetMe, Inc. (MEET) -NasdaqCM
Good looking setup, though it held $4 all day today in a UGLY market. Considering it didnt crack $4, I’d like to get short, but only higher.
Target: $4.25
SunEdison, Inc. (SUNE) -NYSE
Destroyed on huge volume, this has to be the biggest POS “real” stock I can remember. Would like to short pops though I’m not sure if I’m that brave, it probably goes to zero soon, but it is also down from $30. Probably just a watch out of curiosity.
Relypsa, Inc. (RLYP) -NasdaqGS
I remember being short biased on this back in the low $20’s then it ran to $30. Reality seems to have set back in, will short a pop to $22. But its Friday so I will not be that aggressive.
General Steel Holdings, Inc. (GSI) -NYSE / Lucas Energy, Inc. (LEI) -NYSE MKT
Same thing for both of these, both I was short, both I took small profits, both had I held would have been HUGE! Both I’ll watch for pops for the ultimate unwind.
Today’s Watchlist
Again nothing great today, I have a lunch meeting so I have to leave around 11. Going to be VERY picky on trades.

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (AVXL) -NasdaqCM
Of course this is on watch, I should have bought the freaking thing at when it reclaimed $13 yesterday!!
@OddStockTrader @swedepilot Prediction, $AVXL closes on HOD's or thereabouts…
— Timothy C. Bohen (@tbohen) November 3, 2015
$AVXL SMH…. tbohen: I'm thinking pulls to $13 everyone piles in and it goes back up.
09:11:00 am tbohen: with risk on $12.50's
— Timothy C. Bohen (@tbohen) November 3, 2015
Target: Can’t get myself to buy it, still waiting for backside.
Emerge Energy Services LP (EMES) -NYSE
Looks like I missed out at this point, if it has a weak bounce I’ll look to still short, but if it washes out hard in right away, hell I might try and buy it.
XOMA Corporation (XOMA) -NasdaqGM
Its in slow grind mode, watching for a para.
Relypsa, Inc. (RLYP) -NasdaqGS
Wow I remember shorting this last week in the $15’s. Pretty sure this thing is a total carcass, but it goes up everyday. Watching for para, but if it keeps grind no way I’ll short.
Fluidigm Corporation (FLDM) -NasdaqGS
Same slow grinding, watching for Para.
Cytokinetics, Incorporated (CYTK) -NasdaqCM
Watching for fading back towards $10.00
Today’s Watchlist
Good day yesterday, though I executed on my plans, I was very late on a lot of entries. Left a lot of money on the table. Big list today, will try and focus on only the most liquid of them.

Exact Sciences Corporation (EXAS) -NasdaqCM
Hoping for a squeeze back up to $8’s, terrible miss by me on this yesterday after the morning spike. Should have gotten some in the mid $9’s.
Target: $8+
Applied DNA Sciences Inc. (APDN) -NasdaqCM
Not really my type of play but will be watching for a bounce.
Target: Mid $3’s with a stop on $3.
SunEdison, Inc. (SUNE) -NYSE
Nevermind, rumors of a big hedge fund stake fizzled out.
Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NYMX) -NasdaqCM
Target: High $3’s
Vital Therapies, Inc. (VTL) -NasdaqGS
Another miss yesterday, but this one was tough, very spiky all day then fell apart right at the close.
Target: $9.00
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (AVXL) -NasdaqCM
I’m pretty confident this ends up a killer short at some point, but I’m in no rush. Seems “everybody” is short and they are ringing the Nasdaq bell this afternoon I think. Will watch but this is probably more a play for next week once all the uplisting hype fades.
Relypsa, Inc. (RLYP) -NasdaqGS
Made decent money on this yesterday, though it never refused to crack $16, held for what felt like an eternity. I had a play to enter in the $17’s but did not execute because of watching GPRO and TWTR, reminder to focus on the junk not the real stuff even if they are moving. Ended up shorting in the mid $16’s and tried to hold all day.
Target: Pops to set risk, no rush.
Today’s Watchlist
Hmmm, another day with nothing too interesting. Debating taking the day off.

Twitter, Inc. (TWTR) -NYSE
Long bias will look for pulls.
Target: VWAP
Vital Therapies, Inc. (VTL) -NasdaqGS
Glad I cut this a few days ago, just watching to see if it gets crazy.
Target: $10?
LifeLock, Inc. (LOCK) -NYSE
Will look to short squeezes.
Target: Big para
Relypsa, Inc. (RLYP) -NasdaqGS
Fought this yesterday, annoying because it was a perfect “weak open, red to green” ABCD style setup.
Target: $17.00
