Massive moves in PBM, ENVB, FGI today – psychedelic policy shifting markets?
Happy holidays degens! It’s good to see y’all again. It’s the season of giving! And I have a small gift for you guys: FGI (FGI Industries)
FGI would be a rocket with volume
FGI up 25% squeeze imploding nnnjhhhhjjj
Ok degens! I’m back again. FGI is my move for today.
The exact strategy I'd use if I had to start over with $5k.
Congrats to those who took FGI with me. Over $1 now 💰
The smallest float under $1.00 just received a #1 strong buy rating and is about to organically regain compliance.
The smallest float under $1.00 just received a #1 strong buy, and the shares to short are almost ZERO
Almost 0 shares to short + just received a #1 strong buy + about to regain compliance organically
How is this still trading under $1???
The cleanest low float under $1.00 in my opinion
1.4m free float market cap and 100s of millions in revenues!

Of course I sold FGI earlier.
FGI to te moon after open ?
What you guys say on FGI ?
Got down voted for mentioning FGI, now it's up 60%
I'm in on FGI - had positive earnings
I fed Claude a ton of documentation, posts (filtering out regardation), articles, and datasets, not just for options trading but also for quality & value investing. This was across multiple chats in a single project, so resources can be shared, using projects with Claude is critical if you want to do this sort of thing. Once it's been trained, I worked with it to design custom options scans to run daily at market close, which I feed into it along with generic scans from my brokerage. I also have it trained to monitor FGI and VIX and search for online sentiment, plus I feed it newswires from my brokerage too. By the way, you don't need real time flows unless you're trying to follow whales into 0DTEs or similar ultra quick positions. I'm of the opinion that it is useless, because MMs have armies of quants, massive data repositories, and ultra high bandwidth connections that we can never hope to compete with as retail. Instead, I target longer dated positional bets. Right now, I've made two trades with it. One trade on Skyworks that landed me 60% profit, and one trade in BSX that I'm waiting to see how it plays out.
Well I watched FGI for ages steadily climbing up, then I bought In it went down and never came back
I find layering in when FGI hits 15 is most effective, usually market recovers in 20 trading days for past few years, sometimes much sooner and don't get to take as big of a position as would've wanted. Still, watching the news can get good idea of how long the drag will be. The second ceasefire discussions came into the picture was greenlights for example. For selling, if it's an index just hold I prefer QQQ. If it's an individual stock hold until the next earnings report and get out, or if certain numbers will be strong and want to gamble it then stay in but usually better to get out. Bought NVDA $165 and should have run-up before ER next month so best for me to get out then. With how the market is now, we have big sell-off's around 2-3 times per year so plenty of opportunity to swing trade stocks and get better positions on index.
You want to know how to trade for real? Watch the Fear and Greed index, when it dumps below 20, if there are no rate hikes ahead, if market has deleveraged substantially, then you can buy an INDEX on the low. If you buy a stock, it has to have had prior earnings beat on EPS, revenue growth and raised guidance which is basically plot armor. You get two opportunities max in a year, you can't just go all in once FGI dumps under 20, you have to DCA because you won't be able to time the lowest low. Market usually recovers within 20 trading days.
FGI at 47 if anyone cares
I called ELAB Friday. FGI I wasn't sure about.
AMFN ATPC FGI ELAB are the plays today
FGI potential short squeeze continuation today from Friday
Just making quick trades for small gains this week. Made money on ELAB, ITRM, RDGT and HKIT so far this morning. Off to work now. Still holding FGI for the squeeze potential.
FGI is getting squeezed. 500k float. Don't mistake it for FGL
ELAB and FGI both getting hits. Got downvoted when I called them yesterday.
The ticker is in question is FGI, not FGL. It's not a really a scam, It's an extremely low float tickers that is getting some social media hype.
Low float tickers to watch. ELAB and FGI. Both getting social media buzz. Both likely to pump and dump so use caution.
keep an eye on $ELAB $GLND $HOLO $ASTC $FGI in the pre tomorrow as they were the leaders in fridays afters session. Dang in $ELAB and $GLND didnt go on a rant.
I'm guessing FGI is a pump and dump.
FGI is gonna be my bet for a while, very low float
Thoughts on FGI, GANX, SLS today?
I’d sell and get FGI or the flowers one
FGI 3x daily volume and super tiny float
Trading Central also showing technical sentiment is high, Zachs still considering $FGI a buy.
A stock that's not cannabis, AI or tech that is green is a win for me. LFG $FGI
It's been stuck at $6.50, can we take $FGI out of penny range please? Today is the first day with a touch of green all week
A ton of insider ownership on this one, too. LFG $FGI
Not a penny but check out some DD posts on FGI
[$FGI](https://x.com/search?q=%24FGI&src=cashtag_click) \- 521k float \- 316% beat on earnings last Q \- Chart has an 82.00 gap to fill \- No active dilution tell me they wont come for this, ran to 24 a month ago
FGI gonna do a CETX type move
Also check $TGL and $FGI
Considering all the bols are expecting it'll be a sell off tomorrow, nope. FGI is still 14 and sitting in Extreme Fear category
I’m not the one making that call. FGI is at 23 which is extreme fear.
Stop falling for CNN's FGI lmao, that's how they keep fooling non-traders to keep betting the house on puts thinking they'll strike big.

FGI is dropping too. If both trends continue, should be a good buying opportunity, especially before the xmas boom.
FGI? What is even happening, I can't find news...
I’m assuming FGI is going to crash in premarket?
What's happening with $FGI? It's up $350%
What's happening with FGI? It's up 350%
FGI and SNDL (This is a fun idea btw, thanks)
I have the same question too. I’ve been trading using FGI until I stumbled on your post breakyourteethnow. But I’ve been using OTM call leaps on TQQQ. If not options on leveraged etf, then what are some example companies that you are buying during the dips? And how do you pick them?
Hi - sounds like a good strategy. It sounds like a way to quantitatively buy around a dip when the actual "bottom" isn't as important. 100% something I'd want to implement the next time this happens if not options, then stocks (no leverage but still profits) My question though - do you think this would work in the reverse? Your suggestion is when FGI < 25 (extreme fear), especially if VIX is high, to buy LEAP Calls. We've been hovering around FGI \~ 75 for a few days (extreme greed) with VIX < 18 for a month or so as well. If your strategy is anticipating the market to go up at the bottom....
You're not a trader. You have no knowledge of options, and cannot read an easy post with actionable information. Let's break it down further for you VIX spike + FGI dump = buy VIX dump + FGI pump = sell Literally the easiest to buy signals then mixing in max date LEAPS. Tell me you know nothing in one comment trying to defend another man lol
Buying is the easy part, selling and winning the emotional game waiting for set-ups is the hard part. Idc what market environments may be, if FGI has dumped and VIX spiked aggressively, I'll make money simple as that.
VIX spikes + FGI dumps, buy max dates LEAPS. How the hell are you so daft to try and make this seem like it's something which won't work cause in 2022 LEAPS didn't work for SPY or QQQ like seriously?! Jesus you're never going to make it as a trader coming from a self made trader who's results are superior to yours.
Okay and why not go in with all cash to buy calls for UVIX/UVXY when FGI is above 75?
Both, I'll do LEAPS on MAGS next time vix spikes + FGI dumps
I'll close calls right around august 2n-3rd, after the bulk of upcoming events has created uncertainty or not. Am cool waiting in SGOV to double my funds again when VIX spikes + FGI dumps, buy signal activates and I'm back in.
Actually he says, FGI spike + VIX floor = Sell FGI floor + VIX spike = Buy
I don't like how your post makes it as simple as buying when FGI is low and selling when FGI is high. As you read down your post you keep adding strategies and indicators your watching and using as someone questions your strategy. Can you please break down your strategy in a precise conclusive manner to allow for the thread to discuss it properly? Reading down, you add later the FGI needs to spike as well as VIX spiking before you enter again, but then you add economic events coming up like BOJ rates, GDP, FOMC meeting, as reasons to stay out again? Then someone asks why not buy PUTS using FGI and VIX as indicators and you say you buy VIX calls with 4% of your portfolio instead? I constantly see these posts by people with strategies they make look simple and as they explain them and answer questions I'm the comments it looks less and less simple. FGI+VIX spike = Sell, Wait out upcoming Economic data and events, FGI+VIX floor buy again?!?! Help me understand.
Which is why have to buy when VIX spikes, in combination with FGI. If VIX spikes hard, you're getting a good deal. If you sell when VIX comes back down, you're locking in profit. If you're buying cause FGI dumped but Vix hasn't moved than no it's not guaranteed to always work. When buying after VIX has spiked than yes. See the difference?
So March for example, FGI dumps Feb. 18th, you don't buy immediately rather DCA in, VIX hasn't even spiked which a sign to wait as uncertainty grows. VIX peaks 10th which would've been FGI dump + VIX coming back down or time to buy. You buy 10th until 25th and sell because upcoming tariff announcement and VIX has cooled off again. This wasn't a hard read imo.
This is why you look at the VIX in combination, March 10th-March 24th would've netted gains, which you would've known to sell because VIX came back down to it's lows by the 25th. coming off its peak on the 10th. This is also why need to know market moving conditions, March 25th was right before tariffs announcements on April 2nd so huge binary event to close out of positions beforehand. It's like smoke in the air there's a fire coming. All you did right now was use FGI relative to SPY's pricing, this strategy requires deep understanding of macro environment and the VIX.
But it went over 65 already on 12 may this year after going under 25 only end Feb. SPY would have netted you 0 if that was your actual in and out. I can see a lot of signals that were wrong, with FGI spiking followed by plenty of upside. You mention 2022, but if you had bought in end of Jan 2022 because of low FGI, you'd have lost until March and when markets then went up, so did FGI of course, so you would have sold about at best breaking even, then bought back in mid april with FGI low again, and seen much value loss again. You'd have been riding pretty much the same train downwards as buy and hold. Also, you can see the tops now, in retrospect, from 2022 but FGI was barely 65 in Jan, barely 62 in april, 45 in June, that's not calling the tops like clockwork as you couldn't see that that was the top at the time - your strategy as described doesn't seem like it would have worked. Btw my wife just bought and held QQQ for 2 years or so and with her almost +50% outperforms me... My takeaway would be only one thing: extremely low FGI may effectively signal short term upward likelihood. But not medium or LT - cause look at 11 May 2022 (FGI of 4 - which, you know, never happens) followed by a short term uptick but also a year of mostly lower valuations.
3-4 months. Back in Feb., tariff announcements were running rampant. It was smoke in the air to exit. All of April was time to buy. Now is time to exit FGI at 77, FOMC meeting, GDP, tariffs again, and August/Sept. seasonally worst months out of the year. Buy during this dump, then play the winter rush boom, sell Jan. timeframe. Pretty much all scheduled out for the rest of the year.
Fear and Greed index, using upcoming binary events as deciding when to exit. Held all of July even though VIX floored and FGI at 75+ for three weeks, end of July is FOMC meeting, GDP, tariffs, and seasonally August/Sept. the worst months. So I'll buy some monthly calls on VIX, sold entire port two days ago, will await next FGI dump but the upcoming binary events were enough smoke in the air for me to exit LEAPS.
I use all of my buying power, DCA'ing aggressively usually over few weeks when FGI dumps 25ish, can decline more so get better deals on way down or get to deploy more buying power if on the way up aka recovery happens quickly. Anyone who trades options past few years will understand my strategy it's not complex just requires patience. I've wrote here for couple years now just sharing what I'd do if started over with $5k idk why this requires proof now
Bear markets have some of the most aggressive rallies. All of 2022, Fear and Greed index called the tops of every single bear rally like clockwork. The strategy is still the same. Buy max date LEAPS when FGI dumps to 25, sell when FGI goes over 65. You're still making money bear market or bull market means nothing, it's simply phases of the market cycle. Don't even think of bear or bull market, think market cycles everything else is noise.
GLMD looks like the next bio about to pop. Was interested in SDOT, ATER and FGI but all 3 are boring/terrible financials.
That logic applies to companies running huge losses to fake growth. FGI’s not one of them. Margins are tight, not NEGATIVE and with $130M+ in revenue, even a small margin shift matters.
TECHNICAL OUTLOOK: Technical indicators present a mixed outlook for FGI. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 50.65, suggesting a neutral position. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is at 0.013, indicating a potential buy signal. However, the 50-day moving average is at $0.675, suggesting a sell signal. Overall, the technical analysis is neutral, with both buy and sell signals present. RISK FACTORS: Key risks include FGI's negative earnings per share, indicating ongoing profitability challenges. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 63% suggests a reliance on debt financing, which could impact financial stability. Additionally, the stock's low market capitalization and low trading volume may lead to higher volatility and liquidity risks. KEY METRICS: - Market Capitalization: $7.18 million - Earnings Per Share (EPS): -$0.15 - Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio: 4.80 - Debt-to-Equity Ratio: 63% - 52-Week Range: $0.46 - $1.20 MARKET SENTIMENT: The overall market sentiment for FGI is cautious. While the company has shown revenue growth, profitability remains a concern. The stock's low market capitalization and trading volume contribute to higher volatility, and the mixed technical indicators suggest uncertainty among investors.
Your broker’s numbers are off. A press release noted $13.2 M in total debt at March 31, 2025 FGI’s total liabilities are around $17M, not $25M, and they have $14.7M in current assets, so the balance sheet is far from distressed. Also, net income isn’t the full picture here. Their gross profit is increasing slowly, and operating cash flow was positive in the latest , and the company is generating $130M+ in annual revenue. That’s not the profile of a dying business. I’m not saying this will be the AAPL or anything, I just believe it’s beaten down and can see a large reversal.
Considering the large amount of downvotes from angry bers during trading hours, I doubt that. But FGI shows p/c ratio recovering to pre-April crash despite the current environment though so who knows
Ok I finally got done reading the whole post. Some of my own personal insight into robotics as it stands based on where I worked (S&P 250 component at a robotics BU, Series A Robotics startup). Medical Robotics firms specifically benefit uniquely from an insane amount of regulatory capture, meaning the only forms which can compete in this space are incumbents who have thrown billions into the initial R&D and regulatory filing work needed to get their projects off the ground. That regulatory filing work also has to be done for every subsequent product release. This helps lock in a very strong moat for these firms, but also creates a disincentive for true innovation. It's no surprise the most dominant players in the space are Intuitive and the medical equipment manufacturers. This happens to create a scenario where CapEx is relatively low, margins stay high due to limited competition, and R&D is done carefully. This is why I'm basically always checking the stock price of IRSG (it's an elite company). In general consumer robotics, scale is always needed to reach the escape velocity needed by startups to create a profitable venture. Most supply chains are based in a mix of Southeast Asia and Mexico. Like Semi analysis mentioned, sub suppliers that the main fabrication companies use are in China. That's where the macro problem lies. From an individual company perspective, if you're a small company looking to innovate in the robotics space, you will need A LOT of funding to take off in most scenarios. Think close to a $100 million to afford the software and hardware dev talent, product support, and initial orders for the FGI. It's still really expensive from a COGS perspective for American companies to develop complex consumer robotics. It's funny that KUKA was heavily mentioned, as the startup that I was at was quoted an insane amount for a custom version of their robotic arm (~$40-50k). We ended up trialing it and not proceeding further due to the cost at low volumes. It is really difficult to be competitive as a small robotics company, and only the larger conglomerates can afford to burn capital to standup a robotics division (like an Amazon or a JNJ). Having worked at a Series A that was looking to garner investment, I got to see how potential investors and venture capital funds looked at the industry. To them, humanoids are the future, but humanoids are limited by our own physiological constraints. It is wholly advantageous to create better multipurpose robots not confined to our constraints. An undisclosed robotics startup was granted $140 million in Series A funding so they could go out and build a humanoid under $50k COGS, but my boss and I laughed when we heard that pitch (and cried a bit that they got that much funding). US companies are constrained on how they get raw materials, constrained by the logistical hurdles of having them shipped overseas to our main suppliers, constrained by assembly, constrained by working capital requirements, etc. Humanoids are one piece of the puzzle, but the only ones catching the eyes of larger investment vehicles and their management. All in all, it's dawned upon me that venture capital looks at robotics from a consumer perspective like a pipe dream they would like to chase like all their other moonshot projects. The problem is that like Semi analysis mentioned, China is taking a strategic approach and is beginning to carve out dominance in industrial automation. The US needs to have that kind of strategic alignment or else it will fall so behind. Private companies CANNOT underwrite hundreds of billions in this kind of investment.
when the Fear and Greed Index peaks, it is the time to buy, look at the FGI and compare it to the market! Thanks for that, hope it pans out, I went in big personally.
The FGI literally tells you the metrics they use if you click on it
Everyone coming out to cry about the last 2 days posted similar positions, it dropped exactly because that's what silent majority are holding. Current overall put/call ratio is 0.64, and options are the only thing in Extreme Greed in the FGI, everything else is in Fear-Extreme Fear. All calls are fucked.
ATM .50-.65 delta, as far out as possible. Am wanting to start building intrinsic value immediately, buying when fear is high in the market, getting a deal on the long term. Using the short term swing trade to lock-in profit, covering the original debt paid of the LEAPS. When FGI dumps again, reopen swings and keep profiting while letting LEAPS ride until expiration and collecting deep intrinsic value.
Exactly, buy ATM and hope becomes deep ITM, which ATM usually .65-.50 delta - My entire goal is to buy when fear is high, getting deal on long term, build as much intrinsic value as possible from there, while using short term swings to lock-in profits and offset original debt paid of the LEAPS. Then can re-open swings when FGI sell-off on tickers have LEAPS on, or find new companies to open swing + LEAPS on.
Man thank you for this comment, you're the reason I made this post. You have my mind racing on how can possibly make the most cost effective way to profit when market goes bearish. Buying LEAPS allows to keep running if market stays hot like first half of year, five months running hot where there would be no opportunities to open swings + LEAPS cause there's no fear in the market, *but* the LEAPS would keep running during this period. So hot periods are covered. If FGI dumps, it's moment to open swings + LEAPS. So the down periods are covered taking advantage of cycles and getting a head start on LEAPS which will stay active if market runs hot for months eliminating entry opportunities. However, if market is dump which have suspected will continue and only get worse in Dec., with santa rally being saving grace, have no effective means to profit to the downside. My hedges were too expensive, many leveraged ETF's decay too fast. This is a great question, maybe worth to skip trying to profit to downside and play scenario #1 and #2 and skip this cause idk if there is a viable easily downturn profitable ticker like that.
Thank you, good factor to consider the seasonality. I thought selling IV on earning's at .15 delta would be viable, but one big move up and then a continuation could be a costly mistake. Receive small chump change from premium, while losing big gains from position now deep in intrinsic value. I was thinking to sell covered calls while fear and greed index was over 60+, when it tanks to 20ish the whole market comes down which at that point could close the short legs, or if have been rolling up and out for a while even break ahead of price. Sell now, keep selling, close when FGI tanks and let it recover before selling, so if overran by share price can have confidence should pullback to some degree within few months so can keep rolling up and out until then. What do you think about that?
Did the rally start cause of an earning's event? Seems that's the worst time to sell a CC even though IV at its highest, for generating income but they may be selling short in long run like in your example. Imagine if the rally went to $25-$30 or company really moved like $50-$60 so idk if should sell CC's or not Unless market tanks, looking at fear and greed index when goes to 20ish, share price comes down a lot for most companies as market sells off and fear takes over. Keep rolling up and out and close then, hmm actually this helps me a ton, I don't mind selling covered calls as long as fear and greed index is high like now cause I know when it comes down share price will too so I can keep chasing, rolling up and out and wait for that moment to either catch up and close, or close and wait for FGI to rebound.
Fear and Greed Index is at 74 no way am buying shares right now. Last time to buy shares was August 9th, and Sept. 5th when FGI dipped hard.
An FGI of 63 means more if it comes after a long period of low values rather than after a streak of high values. Context is key.
He's looking at a local high. A FGI of 63 may be more important when it shows up after a long streak of low values, than when it shows up after a long streak of higher values.
https://youtu.be/sYWNhkKUCPk?si=gZ8FGI_yPkv5hCrp Same shit I was saying earlier in the thread. Fucking assholes.
I was making the point I won't buy shares unless it's like an ETF such as SMH when Fear and Greed index hits 20, I wouldn't buy LEAPs on it for example. I made the point because shares are undefined risk. Am only trading double & triple calendars from now on, will buy shares prob after Sept. when bloodbath is over or maybe not buy shares at all and just trade options where my risk is always defined. I'd like to buy back in Nvda but I can see price dumping back to $80s as well as market continues selling off. These next 2 months are really ugly months historically with Sept. being the worst. I don't want to buy shares with that ahead unless FGI is at 15-25.
Ty! I'm trying to create systematic response to events, discovering which tools will create best results. Cost effective, risk defined, neutral, high reward and not needing to constantly search charts for opportunities, want to actually have a life. CPI, GDP, PCE all seem like greatly monthly events to play. Earning's of individual stocks cause am not at your level to use ETFs. The put/calls ratio with VIX/50ma, fear and greed index's two best indicators imo to time buying calls or puts on SPY. For example, April 19th FGI reached 33 so I loaded up on shares in IRA and bought the literal floor. I didn't expect reversal from there, I just begin buying aggressively when FGI dumps below 35, really aggressively below 25. I just never knew about wielding options before so wasn't maximizing my results at all. So those are 3 events can routinely look forward too and use the set of tools which have proven themselves like OTM long calendars, which prefer over butterflies and are better imo. Was up 43% for the year, now 25% after paying to learn more. I decided am not buying shares ever again unless for buy & hold. I always want my risk defined in any trade, not having it defined only takes one bad day to take years of progress.
Go look at Fear and Greed index, April 19th tanking wasn't this cyclical event you're prophesying, middle east has the drone event and fear errupted quite quickly. Throwing out gut feels and number predictions. Unless FGI tanks, NVDA will consolidate, dip little more or make a recovery with GDP next week.
Black swan event everybody is losing, check the news you'd wait to go in, I use the fear and greed index, if we're at 50 and we dump to 40 but negative news is ongoing like the recent drone strike I won't buy back in yet. When we reached 31 on April 19th or the lowest point I bought too, fear and greed index guides me on macro economic conditions. I'd lose 15-20% on the first spread, wait a week and open again depending how FGI guides me.
So my strategy is wait until Fear and Greed index tanks to 25, wait exactly one week and then begin to buy aggressively. With earning's season around the corner, I took positions 2nd week of April or about three to four weeks before reporting. After waiting 5 months for FGI to tank, which'll happen this week. What's the better play, earning's or FGI? In this case with banks and Goldman reporting next week, would've been FGI it seems. Or maybe earning's pulls through and sell day of reporting. We'll find out soon but going forward I'll decide which is better event to play.
