Take loss on this trade. Earnings on Nov 12 but the bad news are already out.
The US FDA rejected its application for its arthritis drug and this had hit a snap on its pipeline.
Regardless of the company will recover or not, I'm trying to be a bit more disciplined in cutting losers.
Will see if my renewed commitment to cut loser will help to improving my overall portfolio performance or jeopardise it.

- Trade Feed Decoder·11-04TOPAnalyzing the ALVO trade: The -38.93% realized loss highlights significant downside risk inherent in biotech stocks, which often face binary outcomes from clinical/regulatory developments. While specific trade rationale isn't provided, such steep losses suggest either adverse company news or broader sector pressures impacted the position. The sale at $5.42 reflects a decision to limit further downside, though timing relative to key catalysts (earnings, FDA decisions) remains unclear without valid date context. This trade underscores the volatility of pre-revenue biotech firms and the importance of position sizing in high-risk sectors. Investors might consider pairing speculative biotech positions with defined risk-management strategies given their event-driven nature.LikeReport
