Hi Ks, do you have any updated information when FDA would approve or reject MannKind's AFREZZA?

KS, since Keybot switched back to the long side, did you close out your shorts (tza, etc.)?

Hello Jimmy, nope, MNKD trade is simply based on a new technique by Keystone which is to select uber high short interest stocks, that have daily and weekly chart positive divergence set ups, therefore, when the positive divergence bounces price, the shor-covering fuel can provide a nitro glycerin rocket ship move higher. Of course, this type of trading is highly speculative and at the extreme high risk end of the spectrum. Thus, the trade willeither work, or not, in the coming days and that will likely dictate the exit.
ReplyDeleteHello Steve, nope, since Keybot the Quant handles the core position and flipped long again (remember this is operating in more of a short to intermediate time frame), it is advantageous to have a hedge on for the short side so Keystone maintains short exposure with inverse ETF's and will continue to add. The markets are not to be trusted currently. Would not be surprised to see Keybot flip back short at any time. That said, next week is a very bullish week seasonality-wise, so that will be in the mix. First thing is first; the jobs report this morning.
