Yesterday In Review

Bit of a scatter gun approach yesterday with all the Biotechs in play. I took smaller than normal positions (.25% Risk vs. .5%) in GPCR, WVE, OCUL, FULC & IBIO. This is a lot for me. All on 1 min ORB except IBIO which was on U&R (and was a mistake I shouldn’t have taken this, it was just a pump). Trimmed GPCR early at around $90, Took 60% off WVE later in day. Kept full position in OCUL and cut FULC toward EOD.

This is a lot of trades for me to take but Biotech was going. I could have approached it with more precision but I felt all were good and it’s difficult to know what’s really going to work in these moments. I stopped out on remaining runner in GAP. Retail showed some weakness yesterday.

Really nice day all round with WVE & GPCR doing the leg work. RBRK also had a nice day 2.

Market Awareness

Still Bullish nothing has changed. FED Tomorrow, until then we just look at the individual names… I don’t see a huge amount of high quality picks today. A lot of average catalysts/earnings with reactions that look like they’ll fade to me. Yesterday was great so I’m not looking to press the accelerator here today.

Today’s Picks

YOU: Announced that Medicare are going to integrate YOU Clear systems in January to identify Medicare Fraud and check identities. This is a core target from US government and seems to me to be significant from a narrative point of view. No $ amount disclosed but has high short interest and a big base.

X-Ray YOU: Industry Group: Software - Application, Market Cap: 4.34B, Float: 88.69M Short Interest 19.18%, Days to Cover: 10.71, Exchange: NYSE

TROX: Announced coordinated non-binding Letters of Support/Interest from two government export credit agencies—Export Finance Australia (EFA) and Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM)—for up to $600 million in limited or non-recourse financing to develop a rare earth elements (REE) supply chain. The financing would support mine extensions, infrastructure, and a cracking/leaching facility in Western Australia to produce mixed rare earth carbonate containing light and heavy rare earths.

High Short Interest, Reasonable weekly chart. Rare Earth Minerals Theme. So-so catalyst but could run today. Not a name I’m familiar with previously.

X-Ray TROX: Industry Group: Chemicals, Market Cap: 594.57M, Float: 116.83M Short Interest 18.02%, Days to Cover: 5.25, Exchange: NYSE
