GWPH — FDA has fast
GWPH — FDA has fast tracked Sativex for treating cancer pain. Great news for the company, not for our short. We shorted it from a range whose internal resistance is 70.55-71.50. The stock opened pre-market at 70.50, rose to 72.30, and has since pulled back as low as 69.29.
Opening under 68.95 would suggest this type of news was discounted already by last week”s rally, and that its knee-jerk reaction up will melt away intraday. Opening above 69.50 might still be at risk, but I would rather not be exposed to another updraft intraday that could prove to be much more substantial.
Check this post”s comments thread into and out of the open for my updated observation. And a Trade Alert will be sent automatically if I cover.
SECTOR — Today”s news on GW is probably more significant for the rest of the sector. It broadens what I noted last week, that Morgan Stanley”s opinion on GW reinforces the investment sector”s interest in the industry. FDA has just reinforced the industry”s legitimacy, to the degree that its actions can do that. The sector”s April 15 low is looking increasingly better.
