Unbelievable to me that they called a trading halt for volatility before there was any volatility. A new MS drug is a huge thing, and I'm sorry but I'd bet anything that halt was manipulated. A normal approval on a major pharma drug used to drive huge surges.
Congrats anyway to the guys who scored. Those gains aren't common anymore. |

Is anyone looking at starting to build up a position in Intel? They seem like they're an important company for the country and the yield is looking pretty decent at these prices. Thinking of adding 100 a month until I'd get to 1-2k shares.

View Quote Okay, not being a downer, but something else occurs that may be germane. I typed this out on a post here a good while back, but it's probably been forgotten. One of my best friends here has been with a major pharma his whole life. He makes great money, and refuses to give me specific tips (which is frustrating ), but he has explained some of the intricacies of the drug trade to me. There are two types of drug introductions/approvals. The first is original, groundbreaking R&D and it's attendant clinical trials. If it produces a break-through drug the upside can be enormous. The second is a drug developed overseas that has been in use there for some period of time, seeking approval for use in the US. If it has a good track record the approval is somewhat more likely, and the market response will be good but normally not overwhelming. They also frequently go to smaller distributors, for reasons I honestly don't remember. Maybe smaller margins? Dunno. But based on the bolded portions above, I think that may explain the (great, don't get me wrong) but muted response today. Not pushing either way, but it's worth the DD to check. I'm not great on pharma, but I'll do my best to figure it out. |

Not nearly as hard as I thought. Original formula called ublituximab. Looks like a good drug, tomorrow's pricing action will hinge heavily on that projected market share and discount rate for the drug.
"Ublituximab, an agent designed to target a unique epitope on CD20-expressing B-cells, was approved based on results from the phase 3 ULTIMATE 1 and 2 trials (NCT03277261; NCT03277248). These trials, which featured 1094 patients with relapsing MS across 10 countries, showed the superior efficacy and safety of ublituximab in comparison with teriflunomide (Aubagio; Sanofi), a relatively newer agent that received FDA approval in 2009. Both trials were conducted under a special protocol assessment established with the FDA." |

SENS said 'we'll ship some in 6 months', and didn't raise profit expectations |

Per a post on reddit, there will be a test vehicle with Mavin lidar inside. This is coming from Microvision in an email response. I hope it is truly integrated into the design and not slapped on it.

IR confirmed “there will be a test vehicle with MicroVision’s advanced lidar at the MicroVision booth. Additional information about that vehicle has not been publicly announced.” Jeff also said the current plan is there will not be a MicroVision management webcast while at CES. He also said it is a busy time meeting with the investment community this month and arranging meetings at CES and that he will be at the MicroVision booth from January 5 to 7. I believe there was speculation the vehicle could be a Mini. I don't think there is anything confirming Mavin will be inside the vehicle though. |

A day after the FDA approval of its multiple sclerosis therapy ublituximab, the shares of TG Therapeutics (NASDAQ:TGTX) added ~27% on Thursday to reach a ten-month high as the management and analysts commented on its upcoming launch.
The CD20-directed antibody branded as Briumvi will be available for adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) from Q1 2023 at an annualized maintenance price of $59K or ~9.8K per vial Adam Waldman, Chief Commercialization Officer of TG Therapeutics (TGTX) said Thursday. “With this approval now in hand, TGTX transitions to a commercial launch execution story,” JP Morgan analyst Eric Joseph and the team wrote with an Overweight rating and $21 per share target on the stock. The analysts expected TG Therapeutics (TGTX) to issue Briumvi at a list price of about $71K annually, in line with currently available anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Given its convenience and value to healthcare providers and patients due to faster infusion, Joseph and the analysts don’t think that TG Therapeutics (TGTX) adequately reflects the commercial potential of Briumvi, even with conservative market share estimates. Meanwhile, citing a survey of 40 MS doctors, Bank of America sees hurdles to commercial launch and argues that the drug’s convenience factor is insufficient to persuade prescribers. On pricing, the analysts led by Alec W. Stranahan noted that discounts of more than 20-30% are required to have a meaningful impact. The analysts argued that amid a superior profile for Roche’s (OTCQX:RHHBY) (OTCQX:RHHBF) rival MS therapy Ocrevus, the company would struggle to switch patients to the new therapy. They reiterated the Underperform rating on the stock yet raised the per share target to $6 from $5. |

On-line article about Lidar, which amazingly mentions MVIS and actually carries quite a long Sumit quote.
“The industry is inching forward on the autonomous vehicle front and not exactly leaping forward as many of us hoped,” said CEO MicroVision Sumit Sharma. “Lidar and autonomous vehicles are no doubt tied together.” Manufacturers on the path to Level 5 autonomy will come to rely on lidar, but right now the automotive market is making the transition from Level 2 to Level 3 autonomy in the coming year. With increased adoption of EVs, he said, car companies are searching for new means of differentiation. “Safety is emerging as the next source of differentiated capabilities, and lidar will play a key role in allowing OEMs to build new safety, proprietary features.” Sounds like he's frustrated with the rate of adoption, but he shouldn't be. As I keep saying, at the point the insurance lobby starts arm-twisting Congress, it will stop being about differentiation...and become all about legislation. |
