    Anybody wanna tell me what they think is going on here?…(note volume as well as small pullback followed by quick rise)

  2. In less than 2 months the stock price has doubled. Impressive!
     
  3. Pharmaceutical stock...ugggh, they can move like penny stocks.
    You can do all the analysis you want, but you will still step on a land mine, inevitably, and hurt your account.

    You can't count on being a market millionaire by gambling, betting, investing, on Pharma stocks.
    Way too many unknown, uncontrollable, variables and elements.
    You have to structure the trade, the game, to the best of your knowledge and advantage and understanding.

    Couldn’t help myself. Bought small. We’ll see
    No discipline. Same old story.
    Still, looks interesting to me, if not extended
     
  5. i traded cprx back in 2019 and made money on it. recently added it back to my watch list because my scanner pick it up again.

    I like the way the pullback after a big gain was very shallow and quickly found support on pretty impressive volume
     
  7. They are currently scoring on every number you'd like them to score on. Rising analyst estimates, rising earnings, beating earnings estimates, increasing revenues, stock price moving up, etc. Stocks with these characteristics have outperformed in years past. I currently have no position.

    Yeah that was the other thing I looked at the fundamentals and growth is pretty hot. Based on the volume in the last couple of days the institutions seem to be real interested

    Those experienced traders are looking at price and volume very closely.
    They are still holding to their long position.

    When there is price exhaustion, they will take some profit.

    There are also many newbies who waited
    and waited and waited
    and waited and waited
    for cprx to go higher / to break new high (see the high volume).
    Then finally they decided to buy cprx at a very poor price.

    Just say it. Lol
    I recognize that it may be extended which is why I bought small. I’m going to try to be patient with this one. May add, on a pullback. Longer time frame than usual, which I’ve been thinking fits my personality better, anyway, I may end up drifting towards more position trades going forward.
