Happy Easter – Free Video Lesson Discussing $DYAX Long Call and $CRMD $GBSN Crowded Trades

I love a nice long weekend !!

Figured I’d do a free video lesson for Easter !!

This video assumes you’re familiar with what we discuss regularly but hits upon some of the things we go over in Tandem Trader and Textbook Trading.

Nothing better than a forced day off because as much as I hate to admit it when the market is open and I’m away I’m anxious about what I am potentially missing  !! On the flip side … not many can say that about their jobs right?

I wanted to share with you a few thoughts via a trade recap video (which I do regularly for video lesson subscribers) talking about the good, the bad and most importantly the rationale behind EACH trade I took that day !!

This video lesson is going to dive into the DYAX call (I also posted it on twitter as you can see below) additionally the CRMD short plan now that the $8.50 shorts got squeezed out and starting to fizzle again and last but not least exactly what is a crowded trade ?? Everyone always ask – I dive into it with GBSN !!

Remember this – front side momentum trumps financials

Yes it’s likely everyone who does their due diligence on the trashy stocks will end up right and they’ll raise, convert warrants etc but to avoid getting squeezed out on the front side you cannot get TOO biased unless 1.) you have a solid borrow 2.) that’s your original game plan 3.) you have room to be wrong first

Most jump into a trade based on following others with a much shorter time frame in mind and end up getting smacked around and covering the top before the real trade comes in

Reach out if you have any questions !!

 

 

$DYAX I am watching all dips scaling in — thinking this has a huge red/green rip later and does $26-27 — just a thought starter for now

$DYAX for me using washouts as entries starting with .50+ stop and then only adds would be $25 breaks and HOLDS until then – cannot commit — Nathan Michaud (@InvestorsLive) April 2, 2015

$DYAX the trade I posted on twitter earlier at $24.70s starting to speed up now I’d expect a fast rip .30-.50 then trend up from there

— Nathan Michaud (@InvestorsLive) April 2, 2015

$DYAX lock in along the way — anything possible but nice trend so far — nice work — Nathan Michaud (@InvestorsLive) April 2, 2015

$DYAX trade idea unfolding here … there’s your .30-.50 speed up now we are nearing red/green test

— Nathan Michaud (@InvestorsLive) April 2, 2015

Sold 1/4 $DYAX well fucking done !! — Nathan Michaud (@InvestorsLive) April 2, 2015

$DYAX on HODs again I have sold 3/4s so far and plan to be patient w/ last 1/4 until close – great trade
