DNDN Update


IDMI failure pulled down DNDN as well yesterday.
DNDN must stay above EMA 9, otherwise, it will re-visit previous low of $15

Adam

Hold tight your seat belts, the price can swing both ways as May 15 is near

Morsid, kenttkw

Did you buy yesterday?
Otherwise stay on the side line

Fakir said...

Morning to you too

Biotech sector sentiment don't bode well after series of failures by other Biotech company.
FDA could have tightened the rules that cover every aspect, I'm not sure about DNDN potential on May 15

Overheard rumors that printing of DNDN pamphlet in progress whilst waiting for the official announcement from FDA

As I type pre market price lean towards $17

Fakir said...

10 day moving average at 16.87
Will the share price go below 16?

wilfee said...

cant say...i think today we might see some upward movement..if not we gotta do some serious searching for answers.

Fakir said...

Probably, smart money will take us down in AM and swing on the opposite direction in the afternoon

Fakir said...

The gap at 16.06 has to be filled today

FROM Investor Village DNDN Earnings CALL GOOD TIME for APPROVAL

We expect to hear a PR after market close tomorrow that says Dendreon announces FDA approval for Provenge; Dendreon will discuss the approval at a conference call to be held on May 10 at 11 a.m. Eastern. The PR may also contain the quarterly numbers or those numbers will be included in a separate PR on the same date.

Fakir said...

Take note
DJ & Nasdaq are due for correction

Get yourself prepared near low $16 for the next load

Are you familiar with candle sticks

Observed this morning BULLISH (DOJI) STAR

Definition

Bullish (Doji) Star Pattern is a short candlestick, a spinning top, a highwave or a doji, which gaps from a long black candlestick during a downtrend.

Recognition Criteria:

1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see a long black candlestick on the first day.
3. Then we see a short candlestick, a spinning top, a highwave or a doji, that gaps in the direction of the previous trend on second day.
4. The shadows of this short candlestick, spinning top, highwave or doji are not long.

Explanation:

Usually a star that follows a long black candlestick in a downtrend indicates a change in the market environment. Bears were in control during the downtrend but now a change is implied by the appearance of a star that shows that the bulls and the bears are in equilibrium. The downward energy is dissipating. Things are not favorable for continuation of a bear market.

Important Factors:

A confirmation of the reversal on the third day is required. This confirmation of the trend reversal may be in the form of a white candlestick, a large gap up or a higher close on the next trading day (third day).

Fakir said...

A continuation of blood letting on the street for the second consecutive day.

15 counters on my radar screen are all RED except Apple Computers + 0.45

The biggest loser DNDN - 0.91

wilfee said...

fakir

Yes.just went for a jog in the park..thanks for the explanation. It is true the rich are greedier (MM) :). I see a lot of red around too in my watchlists..what do you think of BPA, LNUX..

Fakir said...

Both look good on TA, but I do not know about fundamentals

Back to candle stick

If candle stick theory is accurate, then bottom is in place and we will not see low $16.

Confirmation of reversal is required, may be tomorrow. We shall see large tomorrow AM

I am waiting to pick below $17

Fakir said...

We shall see large "gap" tomorrow AM

wilfee said...

fakir
are you long in any other stock..

Fakir said...

NO
Already out last week
CVTX, ONSM, FMD
Other stocks on my radar screen
AAPL, AMD, BRCM, CYTR, DYN, MAS, NSTK, NVDA, ONT, PMTI & TZOO

Fakir said...

Resistance 17.30

Fakir said...

If the price close above $18.00 at the end of the day, there shall be a large "Gap" tomorrow AM market open.

It's very bullish

Candle stick theory

Usually a star that follows a long black candlestick in a downtrend indicates a change in the market environment. Bears were in control during the downtrend but now a change is implied by the appearance of a star that shows that the bulls and the bears are in equilibrium. The downward energy is dissipating. Things are not favorable for continuation of a bear market.

Fakir said...

Adam, are you still around?

wilfee said...

yes.. i am doing other house stuff..

wilfee said...

fakir ..you hanging in there..waiting is agonising..

Fakir said...

Adam

We meet again here tomorrow

Fakir said...

Continue this thread, I cannot post new thread, think there is some problem with the blog

Hi All

Bad news for DNDN
Share price plummeted almost 60% of yesterday closed price. I was quite fortunate sold my shares last 3 minutes b4 market close yesterday and hold 100 shares just in case.

I was not available today till 6 p.m

Hi Adam

Hope that you cleared your holding yesterday.

I observed the pre-market could be overdone. The "bears" will be on rampage.

Warren Buffet Quote

When there is blood on the street, where the sell off more than 50% of closed price, it's an opportunity to buy and sell later, after lunch, you could earn huge gains.

BUT, we can't follow him (deep pocket)as we cannot afford to do so.

I may sell my 100 shares on strength.

Fakir said...

No one expect the news to be released b4 May 15.

wilfee said...

fakir,
I did not sell, not expecting the news. They received an approvable letter, 6 months to provide the info. This would be a good time to buy now.

Fakir said...

ONT on the move today, CHECK

Fakir said...

Yes good time to buy, but we do not where the bottom is, probably day trade for today

Fakir said...

Adam

Fishing in cheap market just now

Unknown said...

Hello,
somewhat of a lurker here... just starting to get into stocks and this was somewhat of a nice lesson, abit a bit painful, but nonetheless a lesson in stocks. I wanted to thank you for the analysises posted here, and the refreshing comments.

I was wondering though, I've been trying to follow the news, but I haven't hear any specifics other than it was given an approval but with more information. I wasn't aware that there was a 6 month time period? And has dndn made a reply as of yet?

Thanks guys,
Ult

Fakir said...

Well come Robert

We shall hear reply from DNDN PR soon, may be after market close or day after

The bad news was released b4 the date line May 15 caught every one off guard.

One would be able to identify in the last 2 trading days (Monday & yesterday) when huge block "bid" snapped by invisible hand.

Unknown said...

Thanks for the welcome fakir.

I was also very surprised with the early announcement. I had expected that the annoucement would come Friday at earliest, or Tuesday as forecast. I was considering riding the speculation wave up until Friday and sell a couple of shares and then hold on tight for Tuesday.

Didn't expect to wake up this morning and get surprised.

So even with my little amount of shares I'm out, for now at least. I will wait out the drop for a bit and hopefully see when the bottom hits and maybe pick up a few shares to hold onto. Hopefully, the news on what the fda needs won't be too long in coming, and then hopefully it's not something that will be difficult to provide.

Ult

Unknown said...

Actually, as I'm looking at level 2, it's sitting somewhat at ~7.60, remember though I'm quite new to this, but I thought it would be farther down.

Ult

Fakir said...

Sell off more than 50% is overdone
Warren Buffet strategy, Buy when there are blood on the street and sell the next day. You will make huge gains in 2 days.

DNDN will go south after 3 or 4 days as investors will be digesting FDA requirements and DNDN official reply

wilfee said...

guys..
nice to have another voice in here. I am also waiting for the shakeout.

Fakir said...

By Adam Feuerstein

So, I'm sorry for being wrong on this one. It stings. But it's hardly a surprise. The Dendreon story has always been a high-risk one; that's something I made clear from the beginning. Unfortunately, the Provenge skeptics, including the short-sellers, were right -- at least for now.

Much is still unknown about Dendreon's next steps and what precisely the company needs to do to get Provenge back on track. If the FDA requires new data from the ongoing phase III trial, it could take18 months to three years before those data are ready.

Dendreon's management is in touch with the FDA to get clarification, says a source close to the company. So, until Dendreon says something beyond its rather skimpy statement Wednesday, the regulatory path for Provenge will remain opaque.


Meanwhile, I expect Dendreon shares to return to the single digits. The stock is down more than 50% to $7.42 in recent trading

18 months to 3 years
Can we wait that long?

Adam, what say you?

wilfee said...

that is a long time...i was ready for 6 months...need to get some clarifications from DNDN before acting

optder said...

Until there is specific news on what the fda wants it's a tough call when to get back in, or if to get back in. Worse case it's wait until the current study is done, that's 2010 from what I remember. Best case it's something that can be resolved within a few months.

A bit gunshy at this point, while I expected it to go down further than it is right now, I'm hesitant to pull the trigger just yet.

Of course when the specifics are released I'll either miss the rush to buy or be thankful I didn't.

Fakir said...

Cut loss 100 $17.20

Fakir said...

Typo error
$7.20

Fakir said...

Free Fall now
$5?

optder said...

Yep slow and agonizing. Was thinking to maybe get back in at 5, not rethinking.

Ult

Fakir said...

To fill the gap at 5.30 to 5.40
may be tomorrow

Fakir said...

Sell off continue today
pre market $5.60 now

DNDN conference call after market close.

Fakir said...

Pick for today

I will be looking at CYTR today
Break out yesterday and closed at 4.31
Resistance MA 50 4.45

Fakir said...

If 5.30 burst, that's it
We will see new low below $5

Fakir said...

Morsid, Adam & Robert

Are u around?

optder said...

I just got on, looks like it's following what we thought.

I'm pondering the conference call after hours. If it was good news you would probably expect them to announce as soon as you could. If it's bad news... or maybe they're waiting fda to approve...

I did say I would might jump back in if it was in the 5's, now I'm not so sure...

Ult

Fakir said...

Robert

We would be able to make some money just now if we day trade

Look like dead cat bounced or could be short covering

DNDN swing fast both way

optder said...

Not exactly sure what you mean... somewhat of a beginner still.

I'm guessing you meant it was in the low 5s a few mins ago, unloading now would make some money...

But then I'm somewhat ashamed to say I'm not even in the same ballpark as you guys are.

Fakir said...

Day trade

Experienced trader will buy and sell 3 to 4 rounds in a day

Example
Low of the day $5.17 for today

1st round in $5.25 out $5.60

2nd round
In $5.40 out $ 5.54

3rd round
In $5.46 out $5.78

Next round
example now price range $5.52 to $5.57

I may jump in at $5.52 but you must exit b4 market close
You wouldn't know what is going to happen next, after market close, there could be a bad news

We can't hold DNDN at this moment
Wait till the dust settled

optder said...

It does make sense, however at least in my position right now, the amounts I'm playing with probably isn't enough to make the difference.

Ult

Fakir said...

Robert

Do you subscribe Real time quote Total view Level II and real time chart?

It is a must for a day trader

optder said...

I do have access to the free arca web book, not totally sure about the other site.

You'll have to excuse me though, I'll have to admit I am quite new to this, dndn was one of the first stocks that I jumped on.

Thus far lets just say, trial by fire.

Ult

Fakir said...

MMs & traders are dumping now
Do not expect any good news from conference call

Fakir said...

Bed time for me
We talk again tomorrow

optder said...

Listening to the call, thus far pretty soothing music...

Ult

Fakir said...

DNDN sell off resumed
The destiny of DNDN up to Mr Market
Narrow trading range, 4.95 to 5.46

CYTR down 0.03 to 4.16

NVDA up 2.26
Nvidia (NVDA - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating) price target raised at Goldman to $35 from $33 after the company reported strong Q1 results showing continued market share gains and margin expansion. Remains a favorite in semi space but see limited upside left. Maintained Buy rating.

Fakir said...

DNDN High & Low

1st move
4.95 - 5.46 down to 5.15
2nd move
5.15 - 5.40 down to 5.29
3rd move
5.29 - ?

What would be the best entry for day trade?
Wait for the next consolidation

optder said...

Good... afternoon, doesn't look too bad actually. If it drops down into the low 5's I might consider picking up a small position to just sit on and wait.

Ult

Fakir said...

I missed the boat at 5.30 just now was ready push the button

Don't chase - short covering by MMs
yesterday high was 5.82, resistance

3rd move
5.29 to 5.81 and down to ?

I shall go in the next move

Fakir said...

Support 5.60, 5.40 $ 5.30
Good buy entry 4.40 to 4.43

optder said...

Fakir, when do you think it might drop to 4.40ish? That would indeed be a good entry point.

Ult

Fakir said...

Sorry typo error
Good buy entry should be 5.40 to 5.43
The wagon left us already
I believe the will come down after 3 pm

Fakir said...

Next buy entry 5.75 to 5.82
Please take note that the buy entry is the support

Fakir said...

Important

Position yourself (buy) on the first reversal day on the upside
DNDN rally pattern will last at least 2 to 3 days

optder said...

Again fakir forgive me for asking some questions.

"Next buy entry 5.75 to 5.82 Please take note that the buy entry is the support"

So the next potential low to get in you believe is at 5.75 to 5.82. I don't quite understand "buy entry is the support" do you mean that the next entry point will be where there is likely to be some support? thus creating the low?

"Important Position yourself (buy) on the first reversal day on the upside DNDN rally pattern will last at least 2 to 3 days"

"the first reversal day" the first day that the price has jumped? if that's the case then really today the price actually jumped a bit. If the rally is to last 2-3 days then today might be a good day to pick some up?

I may be looking at the stock somewhat differently, I'm not attentive currently enough to be day trading, and really the amount of stock I'm dealing with wouldn't make it worthwhile to. I'd like to pick some shares up because I believe that the science is there, and there might be partnership in the works, so I guess I'd be considered somewhat of a long?

Ult

Fakir said...

Robert

When the share price open low at 4.95 and close above yesterday closed price with good volumes, it's bullish

Closed price yesterday 5.54

Fakir said...

Yes, Buy entry is the support
First reversal day is good day to go long and enjoy the ride next 2 days

The support line keep changing so the buy entry
Don't go in now, wait after 3 pm or buy, 5.82 to 5.95

optder said...

Thank you Fakir.

In general from what I understand there tends to be a bump in the morning from some traders getting in, that tends to follow with a bit of a dip.

Towards the ends of the day though there seem to always be somewhat of a sell off towards the market close.

I guess the question is if the dip tomarrow morning is going to be lower than the dip towards the end of the day today..

Ult

Fakir said...

DNDN trading pattern

Uptrend & Downtrend

More often than not, DNDN after first reversal day on the uptrend, there shall be a Big Gap opening price the next trading day. Range from $0.50 to $2.00 above the closed price.
Example, price close $6.50 today – Monday morning open $7.00 to $7.50

Downtrend

Price closed $6.50 today – Monday morning open $5.50 to $6.00

BTW, looking at the buying momentum right now, we won't be able to get below $6.00

Fakir said...

Robert, do you GET THE PICTURE of the above?

optder said...

Yes fakir, I think I understand. Interesting though because for a while it looked like it was going to end on a strong note around ~6.46ish now it seems to have reversed itself. It seems like on fridays there tends to be a sell off towards the end of the day...

Ult

optder said...

so as long as we end in the green today, it is like to have a .50-2.00 gap in the am on monday, if we end in the red then the adverse.

With todays action is will almost certainly close in the green, giving the likely trend on monday.

Ult

Fakir said...

Yes, closed price yesterday $5.45
But 31 minutes to go, anything can happen

When you are not sure buy small
Practically, most of the stocks are of similar pattern, open with a big gap after the first reversal day

optder said...

got back in basically at the bell with a small position.

Ult

Fakir said...

Robert

Vested interest 6.07 small quantity
