Big benefit of Pfizer COVID drug I haven’t seen discussed: different resistance profile
New variants from spike vaccine selection pressure shouldn’t evade protease drug. And vice versa.
It’s a safety net that buys us time should scary variants arise that evade current vaccines
$CMRX Well… that was an interesting 8 hours. Glad to have just stuck through/allowed situation to develop.
Took a position in $XFOR on the drop today. Really will be last new bio position, unless exiting another.
Re-entered $CRIS today; trusting some of the macro developments f/market and sector. Done entering any new bio positions. $PDSB $APTO $AUTL $VINC $CMRX $FSTX $OCUL $OPTN $DTIL
Entered $CMRX, re-entered $DTIL, added to $AUTL & $APTO. Been scaling into $FNMA since <.83. Tracking for a $FTMX entry or $OCUL $VINC adds. Moving slow as don’t want to miss 4Q, but macro events still choppy.
@SeattleTechie40 Yesterday morning, exited/took profit in $EDIT, $ITOS, $CRIS, $CBIO
Exited/took loss in $CTMX
Reduced pos. in $PRTG $OCUL $AUTL $VINC (some gains/some losses).
Going to sit on my hands until all the recent turmoil settles down.

Going to sit w/more cash-on-hand while the next few weeks play out.
https://t.co/7asDeVXSf8 29 Sep a big date f/ $EDIT as they will have an oral presentation at RD2021 and subsequent Inv CC on patient safety assessments & a preliminary analysis of secondary endpoints to evaluate biological activity.
Top 3 lessons reinforced from the botched $FBRX swing:
1. Always have the risk/return ratio be a prime determinant for any bio
2. Employ a strategy at the onset that protects against early data
3. Don’t put too much faith in the presence of Tute’s(in this case,Orbimed & Point72)
Well, $FBRX was a kick in the head. Glad it was a small swing, but the timing was especially unfortunate as the previously telegraphed opp to book some profit and reduce exposure was eliminated w/this early release. Should’ve hedged instead.
https://t.co/rYExSrYqzA Great lvl of validation and good on $AUTL to put the sweat equity fwd f/publication of their prev. released AUTO1 results in JCO; excited f/pivotal data on FELIX & if mkt assesses value of advanced CAR-T approaches.
In terms of institutional holdings, $CBIO didn’t have the most encouraging 2Q21. Stalwarts (like Orbimed) head tight, though. (Personally, a swing pos.).
