Short Align Technologies (ALGN) for 2/2 Earnings. The last of the lockdown stocks.
$SDC Down almost 70% over the past 3 months. Are we REALLY sure it can go much lower?
Can some explain why SDC is at $2 dollars while its competitor ALGN invisalign is at $500+ ?!
$SDC Falling Knife or Squeeze Coming? Should Apes Smile Together? Short float near 30%. YOLO calls for pennies!
You got to compare $SDC 🤏🍆🏌️ to $ALGN - it’s at $700 rn and SDC is SERIOUSLY undervalued here at $4 that is WHY PTs remain UNCHANGED at $11. On conference call CEO stated they’ve gone from “Disruptor” to “Challenger” and with $25.80 warrants that are unexecuted there’s only one way and that’s 🆙
u/loose-site, a big shiller of SDC and staple of r/shortsqueeze has finally deleted his account after earnings yesterday. Rest in debt, poor ape.
“Disruptor” to a “Challenger” $SDC v $ALGN. $26 in a year. MARK IT. Interesting wording.
$SDC 🤏🍆🏌️ literally $ALGN trades at $600 this is at $4 this is a NO BRAINER long.
Listening to the call - $SDC 🤏🍆🏌️ has GREAT potential as a long as I said before. Added more. I think in a year this will be worth a lot and will compete with $ALGN. The surveys done show it’s strong growth and recognition as a brand.
NO NEED for a rebuttal bro. You clearly probably have puts. Fuck your puts all you do is spread negativity around this sub. Your bags must be very heavy. ALGN has been around more than SDC do ofc it’s gonna do better. Because SDC not at up 200% already so it’s not a squeeze candidate. 🤦♂️
Some of y’all need to do more research. SDC is going to pull what BGFV is about to do in after hours watch . Called BGFV last Friday calls are up 200%. Gotta learn how to play IV. SDC IV is at bottom you’ll make money regardless of what happens because earnings will push volume up a lot.
WHY SDC’s 🦷 EARNINGS “MIGHT” SHOCK THE MARKET AND COULD TRIGGER A SQUEEZE.

The Case For Going Long in $SDC
Mentions
I dont get it, why are you investing in ALGN?
Here are the reasons I am bullish on $ALGN and $DKNG Because people’s teeth are always moving. Invisible braces are the present and the future. I have Invisalign and it’s an awesome product. They also scan your mouth and use ai to predict the future movement of your teeth when they give you the trays. My teeth are almost perfect after using the product and it’s one of the best real world use cases of Ai I’ve seen. I also think rate cuts = people will be more likely to get braces because it’s an expensive thing Also, the CEO purchased 1m in shares in August around this price. I think it will have a similar move like UNH did. It’s only trading at a 12 forward PE. Hopefully ALGN can show more profitability or more revenue growth this quarter and bounce off this multi year bottom. As for DraftKings $DKNG DraftKings has the best user interface out of any of the sports betting apps. It gives you incredible details and it’s easy to use. It reminds me of Robinhood for sports betting. It’s been getting killed recently because people say “prediction markets” are going to kill it. DraftKings was denied the license for a prediction market but just acquired railbird this week (a prediction market with the licenses needed) Draft kings is only in 25/50 states. So tons of room for expansion.

I made a lot of trades these past few months. Shorting RGTI for 40K Amazon from $211 to $223 5000 shares of NVDA from 179 to 191 I used a lot of leverage but I’m currently sitting in $ALGN (Invisalign) and $DKNG draftkings https://preview.redd.it/zos3mpdt8pxf1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33880be821aa5b9f32fee2f7fd6851c41a7c50e0
ALGN looking like an amazing stock right now
Now in my radar: $AA $ALGN $RIG
STZ is a falling knife with no clear support in sight so idk why u would buy that u should be green now on WELL so secure profits ALGN is not a bad play for the downside, but I wouldn’t have taken that anyway NRG is still on a bullish trend and didn’t break support so i don’t understand why u thought grabbing puts now was a good idea u should be green on RJF VST doesn’t look bad now, but u shouldn’t have grabbed calls just yet UBER is a good play, but u bought short time. traders still don’t seem to understand that the biggest reason for their losers is because they DON’T buy long-dated contracts. when i started buying longer-dated contracts, meaning 2+ months ago, my trading consistency changed DRASTICALLY i don’t see why u thought buying TPR was a good idea, there’s no clear support in sight i think ur problem is ur focusing on too many plays at the same time and ur focusing on names that barely have any volume or open interest. stick to fewer plays, buy long-dated contracts, don’t buy random shit at random levels. be picky with ur trades and make sure ur plays have good flow because it adds conviction. u see whales dumping millions worth of calls or puts into a stock with a chart that looks good for upside/downside, assume those whales know something that u don’t because most likely that’s actually the case
I just charted every single ticker. It seems like you're buying from someone sharing signals. your call buys are at the top, and expecting breakouts. And your ALGN put, you bought at the bottom! You're like opposite Cramer at this point. Invest in yourself and at least learn some supply and demand zones
ALGN looks to move up soon, not sure why nobody is talking about it
ALGN is a monopoly all competitors are cooked. It’s the reason I invested heavily into ABBV the moment they bought allergen. People will spend on their teeth. Plus they have a new state of the art scanner orthos will be forced to use. Also they were hit with 30% tariffs from Mexico, which will fade if not they are priced in. Nice catalyst. Easy 2-3x within 5 years it’s a gift. Hit it with size myself. It’s right at my average here. Gift of an entry.
ALGN. Leverage your cash and ape it. Sell covered calls. No need to trade.
Anyone know why ALGN is dropping so much, looks like great financials
I have a well paying job. By years of salary I meant post tax and after expense. I also got into bitcoin early and had some nice option wins in ALGN and MSTR
**🎉🎉 Welcome to the Fun Fact Corner! 🎉🎉** Airfares rose by 4%, which is the biggest jump in more than three years. That's why airlines (UAL, AAL, DAL, etc.) have soared today. That airfare jump fueled the Supercore Services gauge (which strips out housing along with goods, food, and energy), pushing it +0.48%. That’s the biggest move since January, and the second biggest in the last 16 months. This is making Wall Street wonder why services are showing inflation, when the expectation is for goods to be the ones being affected. For instance, Motor Insurance rose +5.3%. And Dental services jumped +2.6%, which is the largest monthly increase ever recorded. I bought ALGN, up +2.40%.
there was the everything bubble in 2021 valuations for small/mid cap tech stocks quite literally 10-20xed just because interest rates were near zero. just look at FVRR, JMIA, RDFN, ROKU chart histories for same examples, still down 90% from their 2021 highs. and the earnings results of these companies did not make sense with their crazy rise i personally was holding ALGN and TNDM back then and sold near the top, felt like my gains were undeserved because it was unbelievable at the time just remember, if rates ever fall back to that level again, buy as much as you can

Mostly cash right now. Have some $ALGN and $HELE shares. $LZ earnings look interesting tomorrow. Could buy shares and sell 8/15 $9C against them or sell 8/15 $8P. Both have a ~11% break even
I'm not a huge dental investor or anything but I do like the prospects for recovery in the space. ALGN is a one trick pony as best I can tell with a very large market share. My kid just got "clear liners" and they were basically white label from a comapny in Kentucky (maybe Tennessee, cant remember). It was branded with the ortho office ip. So thats not a good sign esp when everyone is looking to save a buck. NVST is a spin from Danaher and the folks running it seem very with it. They said their clear liners had double digit growth. They just raised for the year to an earth shattering 3-4% growth lol. algn literally said just a couple months ago everything was going as planned so their announcement was a pretty bad slap in the face. Aside from valuation they have a credibility issue now. Its a wait and see name for me....but I am a bad short term trader so grain of salt disclaimer
I have lost so much money on ALGN previously. If you think it is a good company buy options for 18 months out or stock. Don't go all in, since there will better opportunities with better companies soon
Look what you lot of done to ALGN by not wearing your retainer
Was looking at buying ALGN call for 140 expiring tomorrow is it likely the stock will have a Green Day tomorrow or is this very stupid my thought process is it if it dropped 30% in one day it should have a correction tomorrow
Missed ALGN short. No one’s buying $5-7k plastic trays in this economy.
Missed ALGN short. No one buying $5-7k plastic trays this year.
I think I’ve figured out that when there’s huge buy walls on options like with ALGN today, the sellers know which way it’s going. Same thing happened with CDNS. Bids were like 20%-30% of the asking price.
wondering if I should buy ALGN $100 LEAPS tomorrow
What the fuck happens to me ALGN???? I remember when that was $700
ALGN is at the price for which I have waited 5 years to see (sub $130), yet now that it is here, I have zero desire to buy. really. why
ALGN puts gonna pay massive WOW
People broke af. People don't want to do invisalign. ALGN down 33%
ALGN them puts gonna pay massive
this sub is so boring these days, basically bogleheads v2 put a significant port of your money into GH i posted about TNDM in wsb and other subreddits when it was $4 in 2017 and told everyone to hold into a price target of $60. it reached $120. i 30xed my net worth on that one play and have since then consistently outperformed the market by investing solely in confident medtech plays (DXCM, ALGN, ABMD, ISRG, PEN) etc my most recent play i posted about on reddit was TMDX at 60 and it short squeezed all the way to $150 on stellar earnings. happy to provide proof if you want. i have an edge because i used to work for a hedge fund so i know how to build a thesis and act on it. my next double bagger is GH, PT of $100 within a year, could 4x within 3 years. they will have a near monopoly in cancer screening 5 years from now enjoy it if you trust the process

Sold $ALGN after it tripled from $1 to $3. Topped out at $600-some. Le sigh.
This is true. Early MF recommended $ALGN to me. I bought at $1, sold at $3, I was over the moon. Now it's at $220, and it was up around $720 as recently as 2021. Le sigh.
You’re welcome. If you’re looking for LONG term plays look for what’s down and will return or poised for relevancy 10 years from know. I know some will mock me: BA, DIS, ALGN, LMT (LMT is not down but war is always in growth)
get in ALGN before it’s too late
$NOW 👀🚀🚀📈 $CMG 🚀🚀 $VKTX 🚀🚀🚀 $IBM 🚀🚀🚀 $ALGN 🦷 🗑️ I love playing earnings.
Only need a for a 5000% on my (1) ALGN october 200p so i can recoup my losses today LOL
i got puts on ALGN thats a dumpster fire waiting to happen
PUTs on ALGN hope their earnings turn out like UPS =) and send me some good vibes for V earnings i'm already down 50% on my position :(
Nervous about ALGN. Sold my other positions for a profit, holding on to the last few shares that I bought when it was more expensive. Not sure if today's downturn is a reflection of the shift back to megacaps, options volatility, or if someone knows something. The product is great and it seems like it'd be a good bet for when interest rates come down and people are willing to spend more on themselves. Come on, ALGN!
I've felt better about continuing to invest in index funds since I discovered ITOT and SCHB. I have less disposable income, so less expensive funds - I'm guessing ITOT has fewer assets under management since it's newer than VTI, and I know that SCHB underwent a split 2 years ago- are easier for me to stick with from a financial and a psychological perspective. I know there are subtle differences between the three, but their performance is similar. Even though my broker offers fractional shares, there's a psychological comfort in knowing you own the whole share and can transfer your assets more easily if you switch brokers. I also bought ALGN stock when it was toppy and just before it hit the fan over the past few days. Whoops. Hoping that starts to improve.
Roast my portfolio! Bought a few stocks last week to swing trade - plan to hold them until earnings, then move on to more bottomed-out companies with potential (don't know whether to get UPS and ULTA now or after their next earnings reports). I'm trying, folks. **401k** - 100% Vanguard Target Retirement **Roth** - 60% - VTI (Vanguard Total Market) 20% - VXUS (Vanguard Ex-US) 10% - SCHD (Schwab High-Dividend) **Individual stocks - 5%** 1% - GIB (CGI) 1% - WDAY (Workday) 1% - ALGN (Align Technologies) 1% - AKAM (Akamai Technologies) 1% - IBM (conflicted about this one) **Dry powder (Money market) - 5%**
Boring ass day but I did catch the $ALGN dump this morning for 12.5k so decent day [https://i.imgur.com/D0lX3vQ.png](https://i.imgur.com/D0lX3vQ.png)
Bought ALGN calls for May 31. Any thoughts?
Since you asked me, I have a few: Generac: gnrc. I was going to add at like $110 but missed the boat. I think storms, Hurricanes, tornadoes will be off the hook. Grid concerns. Seems like a buy and hold around $129 Panw: war. Want this at like $250ish Sbux: overblown issue. Like $75 calls a month or more out Intc: I’ll add anything between $25-$33 long term. Building largest chip factory in us. Although I’d rather amd nvidia or others value seems strong ALGN: strong hold on Invisalign- has their own tech to determine mould for mouths. Other companies are referred to as invading…Same as Uber/taxi or coke vs pop Sq- price seems ripe Fcx- to supply nation with uranium and copper for chips and ev Ghc and rxrx- healthcare exposure for a sound market play
I know that noone cares but $ALGN is up and I'll be 150$ richer tomorrow
yesss ALGN🚀🚀🚀
Thoughts on ALGN earnings today?
My first options play was a waaaay out of the money ALGN call a month out for $900. This was back in 2021 so naturally it was down 90% for a week then all of a sudden it went up huge and I sold it at $1600 and that’s how I became addicted to options.

Yeah, this was mostly a gamble. I was choosing between NXT and ALGN to fade from their earnings' gap-ups. I obviously picked the wrong one since ALGN was -12.11% at one point.
I notice the medical devices sector gathering momentum. TMO, RMD, RVTY, ALGN, ABT.
ALGN pretty must lost all it's 12%/$33+ gainz from this morning.... Now my $245 puts is down 95% instead of 99%
ALGN puts at open would have been massive. Glad I'm regarded and only added the position to my watchlist...
ALGN puts at open would've made you rich today.
Anyone get in before ALGN earnings? Sorry for not giving a heads up. Dentist here and had a hunch they would crush it. Position: 2/16 $270Cs. Hopefully some of you all did. Gonna PRINT.
ALGN not holding it's AH gains
Hi guys, my computer bugged out when I submitted my order today and it didn't go through. Felt so good about this one - it's queued now for open tomorrow Would you recommend canceling it or letting it ride out? I'm just concerned that it won't be filled. ALGN was at $267 when I sent it through https://preview.redd.it/0ukv2d7xgufc1.png?width=1904&format=png&auto=webp&s=eeb916202e8a267b7bf9c5ecbc3ede0468eda298
Damn son.. ALGN was the earnings play today..
Fellas, I’m thinking ALGN has been the play all along
I don’t know about why the OP did a YOLO, but I’ve seen ALGN appearing in Investor Business Daily’s (IBD’s) stock lists for a couple years. IBD follows a momentum strategy, so if he was using a similar strategy it would show up. For further information about IBD’s strategy, read “How to make money in stocks” by William J O’Neil. The book and the weekly print edition of IBD may be at your local library (it is at mine). IBD was a daily paper for years, but now it’s only weekly, but kept the word “daily” in its name. It’s a good resource to find stocks you may not know about if you are following a momentum strategy.
Insider info isn’t something people just “come by.” Comments like this only exposes that you’ve never come close to having these kinds of gains, and the fact that it’s unfathomable to you shows you have no place in the markets. Go to a casino. Look at a stock chart - it many cases stocks go down and then they come back up or vice versa. That’s because of many factors, a couple of which are that: stock prices don’t just naturally trade towards equilibrium - it usually goes too far in either direction before correcting in the other direction. Additionally when a stock sees a move higher or lower, sellers and buyers begin to act, either to take profit or accumulate. Obviously this is not always the case, hence why markets are risky. But you play the probability. This is probably not insider trading you moron. If I had been following this name I might’ve made a similar trade. Instead I played IWM calls throughout November and December, also with 1 month or less expiration, because my thesis was that normalized inflation and the fed pivot would allow small and mid caps to rally. If you weren’t aware, the market has been nearly flat all year for most stocks except for a portion of large and mega cap stocks which were holding up the indexes. This was talked about in so many headlines all year. I profited 700% off those trades. Is that insider trading because my options had 1 month expiration dates? Applying my same thesis, I proceeded to buy calls on individual small and mid cap names - particularly in the growth and RE space. Why? Because they had been beat down all year as they were the most sensitive to interest rates. This is why I have no doubt I would have played ALGN as well, if I had been aware of the setup. Making accusations of insider trading because you lose all the time is so pathetic 😂
Literally every call option is up like 5000% from yesterday. ENPH, MNDY, ALGN, RH, URI, AVGO. What the fuck man
I have a feeling SMCI is gonna pull an ALGN. They look exactly the same
good for you! i lost 9k in a day on ALGN earnings last week.
We’re well into a bear market already. The S&P 500 weights are very lopsided and don’t accurately reflect what’s going on. There’s already been a crash in many companies. Just a few examples, some of which are down over 50% off their highs: EL, BTI, TGT, ALGN, EW, ABT, DPZ. These aren’t run-of-the-mill declines. For some of these, they’re the worst drawdowns in history.
You mean like the 23% drop ALGN had 2 days ago.
Hello, congratulations! By the way, since you mentioned smile direct club filed for bankruptcy, will ALGN be going down more? Also, are you planning to buy more puts for ALGN?
The prior poster noted that people were struggling with bills; ALGN is an easy thing to skip but ALGN's commentary on dentist visits broadly: "Dental practices and industry research firms have reported deteriorating trends, including decreased patient visits and increased patient appointment cancellations..." suggested broader distress than skipping something cosmetic.
" starting to struggle with bills/rates lol" ALGN noting yesterday dentist visits trending down significantly.
ALGN puts are going to print tomorrow Holy fk
