    They killed earnings, over $9 a share vs $5.85 estimate.

    The stock is trading at a Forward PE of 16, and that is before this mornings earnings news. The CEO was on CNBC today talking about their pipeline for 2022 and stated that the back half of the year is going to be stronger than the front half. I would expect lots of analyst estimate increases today.
    They've got $47 a share in cash

    What am i missing?

    I bought it today pre market at $152.50.

    You missed the mountain thing.

    The chart looks like a nice very tall beautiful mountain.

    The climbers reached a peak of 499 in Aug 2021.
    They used ropes to climb up at amazing speed.
    Then they just skidded down the slope rapidly to 146.
    Now they are going down to the base camp which is at 74.

    I have never heard of any CEOs saying anything bad about
    their companies.
    They say great things or very great things about their companies.


    SARs virus disappeared suddenly.
    Covid 19 virus will disappear suddenly too.

    i didnt miss it, i just went against it. I'm not even calling this a trade, in my journal, because it wasn't a disciplined process driven decision. (I REALIZE THAT).
    But the fundamentals tell me its a buy.

    Covid 19 aint going anywhere anytime soon (i wish you were right). But i think MRNA goes way beyond Covid in the future. Its all about the technology

    This might just be a trade, based on the market we are in right now i dont want to hold this stuff long term, but for now i am in, we'll see.

    it has the potential to go down to the base camp.

    personally, I wouldn't short it as the downtrend started very long ago ( 7 months ago).

    anyway, as usual, do your own analysis as different traders have different trading styles.

    probably a decent move. coming from someone who gave up on options because they constantly kicked my ass...so it would be proper to inverse my opinion...you're likely to get creamed haha.

    Lol every time I sell calls I’m sorry I don’t know why I did it but I did it I may buy them back I really believe the stock is way undervalued.

    But as I always say it’s what we don’t know that can hurt us, not what we already know.

    What I should’ve done was just sold puts I could’ve sold the May 135s for 10 bucks. But water under the bridge

    Bought back the calls, lost half a point.
    I like the stock. I’ll hold it.
