A BIOTECH UPDATE

I booked positions in $QQQ, $EBIO, $SINA and $QRVO this morning. In the process of buying $ORIG, $TWTR, $SOHU, $EXPE, and $CHK. Probably going to take the loss in $MTCH here because it trades like ass.

In After Hours with Option Addict we’re going to hit the biotech sector today. The group is poised to breakout and has been strong since we analyzed the start of this rotation back on the last week of April.

Here’s my sentiment chart I posted back then:

    Wouldn’t want to chase here but $NVAX still my top pick on a pullback.

    Great call w the IBB chart and still looks to be ton of upside left. I don’t have a big position there but I have taken cues from IBB/ IWM for my now large portion of SPY longs.

    broke the string of outflows from equities, but only $1.2B inflows. Outflows from mutual funds continue to the tune of $4.9B Average Joe still isn’t on this train.

    Summer rate hike is off the table with those abysmal job numbers. It’s all about the price of gasoline going forward…that being said, $50 will likely be the top of the range in crude for the foreseeable future.

    I put some money to work after the report. Bot CHK, OGXI and RLYP shares. Top large cap biotech idea: CELG.

    Hoping for a call from the margin desk this afternoon to tell me the YOLO weekly FIT 15 weekly calls are now in the money and I need to sell or pony up more $$ to pay for shares.

    GLTA — off to the lake.

    Looks similar to the oct 2 NFP day when the Yen nosedived, stocks dropped for ~1 hour then drove higher rest of the day…not saying it will happen here, but something to consider.
