Yes, there few others to follow also BBIO, AUTL, ESPR, etc.
2 months ago, I posted about ESPR. Did anyone buy and hold? [https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/dIG6SHeZZH](https://www.reddit.com/r/pennystocks/s/dIG6SHeZZH) https://preview.redd.it/yr0o6nrzxj3g1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39c8da95e1e5cebf3f1ecf0efcee745531fec350
ITRM - hopefully something good come out, holding <1k share SGMO - speculative play, November 6th pre market earning release and possible partnerships announcement. Plan to add if there is further dip. I’m currently sitting at 1.1k share. TLPH - adding share on biweekly basis and subject to fund I gained from other ticker. At present I’m holding 2k share at 1.20. ESPR - sold my share with initial cost at 1.4, and ported to long call. November 6th pre market earning release, I’m expecting >30% increase in revenue, guidance update and update on Japan Otsuka pricing/milestone payment etc.
Since many of you asked to keep the tickers more than penny stocks, I threw them in. Also, overall XBI and biotech are in recovery mode. I’m still holding what I have, maybe add some PDUFA for early 2026, and added some commercial biotechs, AUTL, ADCT, ESPR, etc. cheers!
Torn on ESPR… I feel like it’s the right time to buy with the dip
ESPR - post market price tanked due to offering price at 2.5. Watch this if you plan to get the dip. I added some at 2.46. May add if it drop further. Hearsay - delay on milestones payment due to buyout, ESPR needed more funds hence the offering while waiting for buyout. I have both, share and long call option.
And now ESPR is diluting stock...hope you sold.
Dear boys/girls, kindly check on ESPR. I’m still holding it and added long call option as well. Take your time and do some research on them.
Congrats. I was looking into ESPR when it was 2.19 about two weeks ago but I am europoor and it seemed high risk to take a position:(
ESPR, blockbuster drug already on the market, up 100% last 6 weeks 10 bagger on the way
Still ESPR until $6, then I’ll be sure to post more DD
ESPR - please buy some for long hold, but before that please do your research and DD. I’m adding 50-100 every week and depending on the dip or my gains from other ticker. I’m sitting at cost 1.6x up from previous cost 1.4x. Please do some research and DD, I bet you will be surprised.
Good morning/afternoon all! I’m awake from few hours of sleep. EONR - sold all :) ESPR - long holding :), do your DD if you want to get in https://preview.redd.it/wpx2kimw57nf1.jpeg?width=1014&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97cc8e65f7ef52584f939ee7667acded823cfaf9
ESPR - so far I'm confident it hitting 3-4 by end of 2025 and between 6-8 in 2026. Outstanding on Q2 earnings and expected to grow further. Many incoming catalyst, the upcoming in September from Japan to approve the drug (the partner is Otsuka) - ESPR expected to received royalty/milestones payment. I'm adding 50-100 share on weekly or bi-weekly basis depending on how much I gained from other ticker (non long term).
ESPR - Adding 50-100 per week based on the gains from other ticker. Personally I have confidence in it reaching 3-4 by end of 2025 and possible of 6 in 2026. Japan approval news should come on 1st or 2nd week of September. ESPR will get milestones/royalty payments from it. https://preview.redd.it/p6ns2s5e1amf1.jpeg?width=1014&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c30207b436170463a0775c390c004ddb5291ce2c
None of you guys are ready for this but ESPR TO $3.50!!!
You’re in ESPR? August 29 is Japan approval. Stock should easily double on cash infusion from Daichi
PGEN 2nd long hold other than ESPR. PGEN either they get buyout or commercialisation, one treatment which reduce 4 surgery (existing treatments)
ESPR total revenues increased 69% on a year-over-year basis. Noon shot for this penny stock
ITRM and ESPR - hoping the guidance will provide surprise news? finger crossed!
$ESPR! Absolute gem at this price. Owed a lot of money in q3-q4 and ceo said they will be profitable by Q1 2026. Easy 2-3x no question. If you hold for 2-3 years your returns will be crazy.
ESPR kept bubbling back up in my scanner. Decided to jump in for 340 shares at $1.47. Anybody else in this?
Currently waiting on ESPR, HCTI and OPTT to turn for me....

$ESPR $LAES some of the pot stocks are super low.
Esperion $ESPR. Incredibly undervalued. independant reports indicate 30-50$ in 2027
i need help understanding something. I was looking at the ESPR options chain because I have a few pharma plays, and I don't quite get this: the $1c for 12/20 went up 10,400% today, but the $2 only went up 60%. but for $1.5c for 1/17 went up 6700% and the $1c only went up 26%. Both are ITM, and both have an IV of over 100%. What am I missing here? Why is one going up so dramatically and the other isnt? I may have too many crayons shoved up my nose. Or not enough.
$ESPR only non-statin cholesterol medication with primary treatment label. It’s being crushed by shorts but ima load up more. Itll get bought out just not sure when.
ESPR, which has been good to me but I originally bought it because someone special to me lives in the same city where Esperion is located.
What would you define as medical tech? I agree that health care and medical in general is going to be profitable but what would you say falls into the category in your opinion? I’ve been looking at $ADMA $LGVN (since their recent FDA approval and $ESPR
ESPR great biotech company with a guaranteed potential for 3-5x investment with some patience. They have gotten approval for their drug that helps people with cholesterol problems thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease! Not a usual penny stock but one with stable
I got a friend who threw $500,000 on $ESPR, but that stock is going to explode. Created the only non statin cholesterol medication that got a full label expansion in USA and approval in Europe!

I typically only trade stocks with a float of under 50m, so that is why I would have missed it. Also, ESPR's news was just earnings right? They are kind of hard to play right as you can easily be caught in the dump.
then you dont have your scanners set correctly because ESPR had a great run this a.m
ESPR pre-market call after FDA label expansion news. Ran hard AH on Friday, expecting more this week

Did you like Fridays spike ? :) Get all wallstreetbet in IBRX and you will squeeze 50 M shorted shares before approval with approval you will have AMC GME effect Think for a second for the love of god
Nio, ESPR, SKYT, ELEV, I’m just listing stocks under 10$ that I have made money on. You can definitely make money on these but they’re also basically penny stocks so you could lose your money in the blink of an eye. My gains so far 110% on ESPR, 37% on SKYT, 86% on ELEV.
Dont buy ANYTHING that is up big ever!!!!!!! I always buy the TOP LOSERS or the NEW LOW STOCKS on [FINVIZ.com](http://FINVIZ.com) That is where I found ticker: SILK at $6.50 now around 18 ESPR @ .75 now @ $2.55 and recently QDEL moving up already and we will see what FSR does Monday which I bought @ .44
If it wasn’t for ARM and LUNR I would be down but I there a lot of money into those and made like 70k and 30k within a month. Plus I’m up 110% on ESPR and 83% on PLTR my lucid, riot, and Rivian positions are down in the dumps thankfully I didn’t throw that much into them. My gambling portfolio is outperforming my retirement now but I threw some gambles into there so Hopefully they will pay off.
Anyone have thoughts on ESPR they are very close to profitability. There next earnings is Tuesday. I suspect they will be announce profitability there. On other note they sponsor nascar so I’m all abt it.
Damn I should have bought this instead of ESPR
Wasn’t casual it’s basically my life’s savings less a couple grand. Secondly I just made about 70k or abt 77% off ARM last Tuesday. Abt 98k off ESPR in the last year and about 79k off of PLTR. So most of this is gains from those stocks. What I mean by this is I don’t really care of if I dump it into this I’ll cut out if I lose 30k but the market has treated me well so I might as well go for it. I don’t rly have anything to lose. This money just sits there tbh.
What’s the Wall Street bets feeling on ESPR?
And there you go, management of ESPR being management of ESPR. They just announced an $85m public offering at $1.5 / share. [https://www.esperion.com/news-releases/news-release-details/esperion-announces-pricing-851-million-public-offering-common](https://www.esperion.com/news-releases/news-release-details/esperion-announces-pricing-851-million-public-offering-common)
I bought shares but I bought in when ESPR was 1.20 a share. I don’t know about buying long dated ITM calls. I think theta will destroy you and I don’t think the share price is high enough to mess with the options chain right now. Your going to pay like 180$ for a ITM call that losses .01 of value a day or you could buy 60 share for that price. It looks like these ITM calls are losing 1-5% of their value everyday. Just from the trading. I think this it too risky to be messing with the option chain right now the shares are cheap enough where you should just buy them.
Ignore everything above, When selling options for small caps and especially small cap bios which is my specialty. Make sure you're aware of the major catalyst which is the PDUFA date ESPR is March 31st (So you really don't want to gamble and do any options pass March 15th). The CSP $1 premium @ $3 strike was gold but that has passed. You will typically make more money buying the shares out right, holding for the run up and then selling before the FDA or waiting for the approval if you want to gamble but that could cost you. The only reason to do the cash secure puts is to protect your downside. So when they were giving that $1 premium at $3 when the price was around $2.50 (It was essentially giving you a cost average of $2 if things went bad). Bad FDA players can drop by about 70%. The only other reason I like the cash secure put is because I like to keep the money in the mutual fund which pays 5% annually, and you get your premium right away which can be used to buy shares and compound. When selling covered calls or cash secure puts on small cat bios like this, If you're doing any serious numbers you probably will not want to buy these back, Just let them expire. I did however just roll some of my $3 cash secure puts to $4 just cuz I have hundreds of the $3 ones. By putting the option date before the FDA approval or denial date, It gives you a chance to offload them before the decision. The only thing that's going to derail you is if they get a DRL which is discrepancy response letter which can come out about 30 days before the FDA and is almost always a failure leading to a CRL. Just don't buy the options with a strike date past the FDA PDUFA unless your will to lose a lot of they get a negative decision.
I was just looking more at the options chain on ESPR. The problem with trading options on this ticker is that there is not a lot of liquidity. In looking at the chart - I would probably have preferred to write short dated call credit spreads or naked calls. But there are only monthlies and because it's a penny stock with 1 dollar wide strikes - it makes option spreads very difficult.
My apologies - not my intent to belittle you. This is an investing subreddit - not a trading subreddit. And the general statistics for new traders is that more than 90% will fail to break even in their first year. As long as you recognize the risks, it's your money to do with what you want. Since I'm one of the few option traders that comment in here - I'll answer your question about ESPR. From an options trading perspective - if I was interested in trading that ticker, I would probably trade the using a neutral to bearish credit spread. There really aren't enough strikes to write ic's on ticker - so maybe 2/16 1p5c short strangle with an extra short call at 6c. I tend to prefer high pop option trades on speculative tickers. I would probably set at tight loss and close at 50% profit.
I don't have a ton of money to put into the market as I said I'm only starting with $50 I'm 23, work full time and go to college and am going to be owning my own house I'm roughly a year so I don't necessarily have $400 to drop on stock as I don't want to put that much money on when that my books for a semester or materials to work on my house since that is where most of my money goes. I don't remember anyone saying to stay away from options only people joking about them. I've been learning and doing my research up to this point, and I have enough of an understanding on how things work to feel comfortable putting money in and once i have enough money in I'll probably put some of it into the safe bets and let it ride but until then I'm asking about my specific situation Until I have all that happen I'll be watching ESPR DNN and CCJ and maybe a few more stock I like and seem like they are going places unless someone wants to answer my questions and stop belittling me for what I am doing with what I have access to
So I am just starting off investing and decided to start small with $50 about a month ago and doubled that on ESPR calls. My question is, should I continue to be this aggressive and keep putting everything back into the market? Is 100% gain like that reasonable to keep up if I am doing my research on what I am investing in and keeping track of the charts? ​ Also, what are everyone's thoughts on ESPR going forward? It looks fairly promising to me
anyone use chase as their broker? My doctor buddy who trades stocks was showing off his gains. "He was like this year I did really good." "i'm up $12,000 in ESPR, xxx amount in NVO, FSRL, SEDG, etc etc. He said he only lost money on PFE. I was like okay cool but what's your % performance for the year? Those numbers mean nothing to me. It could be a multimillion dollar account so a $12,000 gain could be very little. He said Chase doesn't tell you your performance and there's no way to check. That can't be true is it?
I trade FDA small cap Bios, when timed right can do an easy 50-100% run up. Ow stick around too long on or after the PDUFA (drug approval or denial and you can lose all). I trade about a Million that I keep in a Mutual Fund collecting 5% annually off of and use the total to do CSP. I typically get 20-30% up front 2-4 months out from the known catalyst which are easy to find. I use the premium to buy shares at the market and then sell CC on the same date at the same strike as the CSP (this date must be before the catalyst in the shares. You must be willing to buy and sell before the catalyst). 8 out of 10 times the price is higher than your cash secure put and your covered calls so you basically keep your money in the mutual fund and add the sale of these CC to it. If done correctly on the correct stock, of course you're looking somewhere between 30% to 50%. So on the conservative side you're looking at about 30% 3 or 4 times a year and you get your premium up front so that gets reinvested so you're constantly growing the account. With FDA run-ups you may get bad news two out of 10 plays that come early. The CSP helps with the downside when things go south. This year's % from Oct. to current is 175% My conservative goal is 30-40% Example of my last 4 plays This was written up on Dec. 18th (I also use a lot of naked CSP so I can speed up funds recycling, I have 600k coming up on Jan. 19th so instead of waiting for that to clear go naked) ESPR $2.11 FDA Mar. 31 Plan: Get Naked CSP Mar. for 15th $3 pays $1.15 (get a mix of both) $2 pays $.45 Turn around buy shares at market with premiums and sell same date March $3 CC for $.35 premium If the price is over $3 it's like 40% OR more in 83 days ----------------------------- #2 GERN $2.17 FDA June 16th Plan buy shares (no good CSP) immediately sell CC @ $2.50 for $.35 giving you 31.33% Or sell $3 for .20 and get 47.46% Now June 185 days away but looking at 62% and 90% respectfully I only like the $2.50 better as it gives more upfront premium ----------------------- 3rd VNDA $3.77 FDA Mar. 4th CSP for Feb 16th pays $.35 This is to get the shares for the run up or just make 8.75% in 59 days (Annualized to 48% theoretically) -------------- Last one XFOR $..70 FDA adcom April 30 Just buy shares and sell CC for Feb 16 @ $1 for .05 premium. (I expected it to go higher than a dollar so you may not want to sell them for $0.05) But the idea is to protect your downside. So if it's under a dollar, you get the $0.05 premium for free. If it sells that's 50% in 59 days... If the price is still under a dollar, collect your $0.05 premium and sell in the next 2 weeks before the adcom
Just light your money on fire 🔥 it will be fun than owning ESPR
I’m only up 94% on my ESPR position😭
If ESPR gets the main label change, it will become the new “primary drug” I know we are betting on the label change once again. If that happens, goodbye to statin!
ESPR added 100 reps and growing territories. Label changed happens as well. I don’t care what happened 195 days ago. As you can see - I’m in the potential of the up side.
Bempedoic acid (Nexlitol) will never replace statins. I've been working in the lipid space for 20+ years--research/pharma/biotech. It only has a 17% reduction in LDL---up around 30% when combined with ezetimibe (Nexlizet). The more potent statins get upwards of 50% reduction on their own, plus another 20% or so if ezetimibe added---can even use low dose statin plus ezetimibe and get about 50% decrease. Bempedoic acid is "niched" for statin intolerant patients. Not to mention that there are marketing powerhouses behind (some of) the statins. Had four friends who worked for ESPR----all got let go last year/this year, not the signs of a healthy company ready to take on the market. Not to mention the hyperuricemia and tendon rupture (not sure the rupture stuff is real) that appears in their label----does give clinicians pause when thinking of prescribing. It will do OK, picking up those who don't want to/can't take a statin, but would not expect huge upside.
, ESPR has received FDA approval for lowering indications (label change). ESPR has completely changed since 195 days ago since this article / post. Please shed insight.
ESPR fda approval - huge upside. Comments?
Same with ESPR I own them for $120 I can sell a put against it for a $1,600. You’re right this is my strategy. Thank you for the advice. I can legit 100x my account by doing this. I thought my 40% year over year returns were good but this just beat that.
I would take a serious look into ESPR. Seems they have a lot of potential to grow
😂😂I didn’t even read the second part. I have just been dumping a lot of money into them lately. Maybe some ESPR?
ESPR stock. Up 20% past two days.
Bio Tech ESPR stock is about to be up 100/200% percent. Up from 20% in past two days.
ESPR stock taking off! Up 20% in past two days.
ESPR Bio Tech Stock taking off!!
Looking at the charts on my app ESPR has been in a downtrend since it's creation. But if you just bought I myself would hold for a few days.
This really Looks like a winner. Still below 1.60 a share and I am buying because I am one of the millions that can't take statins to control my Cholesterol. My Doctor told me about the company and the product. $ESPR While researching the company and product I thought, man this would be a great company to own. NO ONE ELSE has anything like it.
