Trading FDA, Clinical Trial Binary Events with Revised Bio Run-Up Strategy: $AMRN $CADX $EXAS

Written by Tyler Trimbath. When playing a bio run-up stock in a down market, it may be useful to adjust your strategy…

Several weeks ago I wrote an article on the bio run-up strategy explaining how a first-time investor should develop a strategy and stick with it.  At this point we are in a market that fluctuates every minute, but this does not necessarily mean abandoning what works for you since right now may be a good time to buy.

Adjusting your strategy to fit the market and continuing to make money is what needs to be done.  Some of my “rookie” suggestions include:

- focus on companies that have upcoming FDA decisions (1-2 months out) instead of the normal three to six months;

- keep searching for companies with less than a $500 million dollar market cap and single-digit stock prices; and

- downsizing my basket to three stocks, which will allow me to diversify my portfolio but still make it easy to keep track of each holding on a daily basis. 

This is my revised bio run-up plan as a new investor looking to make money trading binary events.  My holdings now include Cadence Pharma (NASDAQ:CADX), EXACT Sciences (NASDAQ:EXAS), and Amarin Corp. (NASDAQ:AMRN).
