If Eli Lilly acquired RIGL, how would this impact RIGL's stock price?
$LABU looks like a juicy ETF to own right now. Currently trades at sub $8 with a high of $180. It's a 3x leveraged bull trade on the healthcare sector. I put my foot on the gas here for myself and my client portfolios. Is this ETF cash? Or trash?
$LABU. Next move is LABU. set limit to enter at $7.80….this willl take off end of week. Good luck!!
$LABU - Nice Sale. What’s everyone’s thoughts? Is there a reason it’s gone so low? Pic is 5 year history showing a high of $162.50 on 2/5/21. It was in the $200s before the previous 5 years. Big on biotech + cheap prices. I’m loading up. 🚀
Wanted to share a LABU trade I made thats looking pretty good. Will be dumping into BBBY calls. 🚀🚀🚀

Mostly biotech. Leveraged biotech and options on those leveraged ETFs. LABU is my baby.
Ive seen selling calls and puts on LABU and SOXL (leveraged ETFs) for past few months and made lots of money. Is this a good idea long term? They are weeklies, about 10% out of the money in each direction
The way I pick tickers is: I have BarChart email me a list of tickers with weekly option where 100% of its technicals (MA crossovers) are signaling 'Buy'. Then on the weekend, I construct a quality factor 'Q' for each one: the bid for the nearest weekly put divided by its strike * 52, giving the maximum annualized return for selling that put. I select the 5 or 6 top payers, and sell enough weekly contracts on Monday to bring in my desired weekly credit. If a put gets too far ITM I may roll down & out during the week. Otherwise, I don't sweat assignments, since in these 100%Buy stocks, I can usually depend on making a profit on the call. This week I picked AG,APP,FN,LABU,TER, & WDC. Q's ranged from 113% to 206%. I haven't kept track of profits, but a 5 year backtest of weekly ATM SPY wheels was profitable every year.
Anyone here playing LABU (biotech)
Why LABU up 105% in 3 months and 37% in a month. I’m wasting my time on SPY
I regret being shaken out of LABU in October after holding for over a year! You can say soft hands
LABU. 3x leveraged biotech ETF. Long-term breakout looks like it's mostly confirmed and makes a lot of sense. When this one rips, it does so relentlessly. Might see a minor pullback tomorrow to test the breakout, but that likely will be the last call before the train leaves the station. An equity can't flash more obvious buy signals than what LABU has shown.
SOXL for semis, FNGU for big tech, NAIL for home builders, YINN for China, LABU for biotech, CURE for health insurance, and URTY for Russell
Big purchases moved into LABU yesterday. Maybe she gets back to $100 soon
Glad I held on to LABU! Up almost 10% today
Accidentally full-ported biotech. I thought LABU was labubu.
Hey man, I just sold about 75% of my portfolio as well. Sold NVDA, AMZN (probably shouldn't have), ROBN, YINN, SOXL, TQQQ and LABU.
ETFs, right now, I'm in AMDL, BITX, LABU, MSTX, SMCX, SOXL, TNA. I sell both calls and puts.
Biotech is Volatile, try LABU/LABD. I used do good 30 minutes trades on them.
Meaning you would sell maybe Monday whenever you see that 10% swing due to being itm and due to a bullish reversal pushing to happen for LABU? Thanks for explaining I’m also a beginner and have longer calls on OPEN lol
Ok looking at LABU, so it is at 65, that same day, Friday Aug 1, I buy the call option at 70? And let it expire? How do I make money that way?
I would buy calls on the stock LABU at strike $70 expiring Friday. You will double or triple your money easily.
I'm in a poor man's covered call using LABU, bought Call $30 expire Jan 16, 2026. Selling monthly covered calls on this LEAP.
BIB/LABU actually my biggest but highly temporary. Biotech ALWAYS bounces back, I’ve never lost $.
Not sure but my LABU is flying. Maybe killing Medacaid is positive for these guys :-/
LABU is a bigger piece of shit than MUU
Anybody playing LABU?
you don't know anything about what you're saying but good luck, full port into LABU
I hold: * YINN * TQQQ * TECL * FAS * LABU * UDOW * SPXL * CURE And the ONLY one that isn't doing well is CURE. What Leveraged Fund should I swap it out for?
Do you still have the 19K calls on NDX?Is it still going down? I bought LABU and it's going down so hard I'm a little scared.
For the love of god, please don’t do this until you research 3x leveraged ETF’s. It is meant to be a short term play (weeks is a long hold) because the fees and decay (with it being 3x) would kill you long term. Price of these over time gets down to single digits and they reset at a higher price via reverse split to make it tradable for swings and options. See 3x long of XBI is LABU, 3x long of UNG is BOIL etc
LABU hits 52-week low

XBI and LABU have fucked me up. I should have went into AI instead of bumfuck biotech
I joined theta gang on Thursday. Worst day to be on that team. Sold LABU $125 puts for $5. Already down 400%.
LABU or XBI, the entire biotech has been decimated from this news. LABU is down 40% just this week.
LABU would be a better play
What do you think of LABU, SOXL, TECL
VKTX will, assuredly, open at $100 tomorrow and then will skyrocket. Any shares that you can purchase below $110 will be profitable If VKTX IV crushes and pares gains it's a certainty that I will be buying that dip with gratitude. It is a gift from heaven above. VKTX will moon to 200 dollars a share through acquisition pressure from big bois like Merck. # My positions - **11/15 calls with 80, 90, 100, 120, and 130 strikes (selling most at $110 price actions tomorrow)** **100 shares LONG and rapidly adding to my port. anything under 100 is worth grabbing for now** # Related plays/ideas \-Short subpar biopharm competitors like Novo, Tern, & Alt \-Long weight-loss and BIO ETFS - lets leverage. OZEM, LABU, XBI
XBI. It’s the biotech ETF. When rates go down, biotech investment goes up. One of AI’s biggest applications is in molecular dynamics (a la Alphafold). Or be like me and have almost 2 year’s worth of salary in its 3x leveraged version, LABU.
Oh ABR is PERFECT for this. Thanks! XBI has been range bound for most of the last decade. I play it from both sides using a fade-in strategy I cooked up. LABU long, LABD short. If you just bought XBI @65 and sold @90, rinse/repeat, you’d be up 700% in the last 9 years. That’s long/unleveraged only. 700%.
LABU is on a killer uptrend
Yes, XBI and LABU might be good plays. But go long, like shares, sell puts or buy leaps. No short term, October can be red.
Bullish on LABU once rate is cut
I had to take a week off to recover from panic selling spy put winners. Then laughed at 9/11 shakeout megaphone. Unreal shit. Next time always prepare for shakeout when we minicrash like that. I was right about IWM too, but couldn't get my conviction fast enough to execute. Caught LABU. Sad consolation. At least swinging is the way. Don't fking watch it or you'll paper hand.
Who said 0dte? Day trades are best used on 3x leveraged funds with high volatility SOXL TQQQ-my best performer LABU
When GDXJ gets low enough I use a quant strategy to buy bigger and bigger bites of JNUG, a leveraged GDXJ derivative, as it drops. People call it a “mushroom” strategy sometimes, so it’s profitable way before it gets to where you started buying. Same with utilities, UTSL when XLU drops low enough. LABU for biotech too, from XBI, all industries that must necessarily recover assuming no zombies. Currently also in BTG gold miner for the div and recovery potential. And mushrooming into LABD rn, a short biotech ETF, XBI is getting overbought. And buy VALE, 13% div and big recovery potential.
Massive bag holder of LABU (sigh)
We’ve already seen a lot of bounce off the falling rates sentiment, I just started building a quant short strategy with LABD, on this premise. Wait for the dip in these sectors (XBI for small cap biotech or LABU for real juice, REITs, TLT, etc) and buy in. For now the rates sentiment hasn’t really saved S. America, so RIO, VALE, EWZ, low prices and huge divs will draw back investors. S. Korea too for international, so EWY. Good luck and if you want to be a rotate your portfolio guy, remember to rotate your portfolio out too!
LABU is for high risk ballers like me !
SOXL TQQQ are my favorites atm but SPXL TNA LABU are interesting
They are competing in what appears to be an out of favor sector of autos. Look what happened to F, due to EV losses. TSLA and the Chinese are the big dogs, apparently. I have sold CSPs on TNA, LABU, DPST, and NAIL, and all are very uncorrelated from the FANGS. The rotation is into small caps, for now.
I’ve never held longer than a few months, I’m aware ALL 3x funds go from $1,000 to a penny on 5-10 yr charts. I was wading into LABU from mid 2023 till January-ish, probably my longest, most nerve wracking LABU trade ever, 6 months plus. Bought from 110 all the way to 50, sold around 110, every purchase after the first was profitable, it unfortunately turned into a big $ trade, I lost mucho sleep(!), but made like 10K.
Suicidal. XBI, the index LABU is tied to, is high end of range. I’m actually melting into the inverse, LABD rn. I follow XBI and its sister vehicles very closely, biotech just bounced hard off a deep low around halloween, it’s gonna chop then fall again though yes, some more upside possible because of falling rates (indebted biotech companies are wildly sensitive to interest rates). Follow XBI for the timing on LABU.
Wanna make money on leveraged ETFs? Buy LABU when XBI hits the bottom of its range, like $65. Look at LABU charts after those dates. Holding leveraged ETFs isn’t a thing unless you’re coming off a black swan like Covid or the housing meltdown.
Ultra high risk in a hot market like this. A 20% drop could be devastating. And leveraged ETFs often exaggerate their mandated price action. Compare LABU to its underlying XBI and you’ll see how off the moves can be both ways.
I just loaded on DPST and LABU. hoping that in the next 6 months, we see tremendous upside. is that not a smart play? :/
Good (and aggressive) choice, I'm just not so confident in near term rate cuts. What is your prevailing theory on rate cuts? E.G. if there was only one small rate cuts at the end of this year, do you think LABU would go up significantly?
I’m $100k+ in LABU. Based on XBI, things look promising once rate cuts happen.
BULZ getting fucked harder than LABU last year
BULZ and LABU needs to go back to ATH
I own a lot of SOXL, LABU & TQQQ. Should be well covered for Avian Flu Pandemics, New Industrial Revolutions
LABU >340k loss. My greatest disaster that I chased averaging down. But it thought me a great lesson, and now 90% of my investments are in boring index funds. I still play with 10%.
Im up 100% on LABU lol but cant recommend safely
Nothing better than knowing that you own a healthy chunk of LABU. And that 0.5 % to NVAX is pulling that s*it up hard
Got contracts for both. lol. I made a good amount on Mullen, Jd com, Mullen again, Zillow, Lucid, GME, AMC, GPRO, LABU, MODERNA, .... all calls and some puts.
I owned alot of LABU when it was cheap and it kept going down but did a reverse split and now im up over 100% lol Biotech etf. I just assumed it would die off or something but it went up.
We not allowed to post about LABU in here?
Puts on LABU have been printing. Enter call credit spread to fund puts. It's free money. Down avg 4% in a trading session last 7 weeks.
GERN failed to make 4s since approval multiple times. Being long bio right now is just pain. Hit by macro, interest rates etc etc. LABU down to low 80s from 170s 7 weeks ago, XBI also low 80s from 102-ish a few weeks ago Even FDA approved BIOs with strong operations and balance sheets getting wrecked (IOVA, MDGL, VNDA etc).
>Wouldn’t averaging down during bull allow you to profit from spikes during unforeseen crashes? the problem is you just continue to average down and then the ETF reverse splits because of the magnitude of losses. Look at all time charts for LABU, SQQQ, etc. >there are no recurring fees so where does the decay come from? Fees have nothing to do with volatility decay and the cost of leverage for the underlying fund.
LABU is going buy me a Lambo!
I just bought LABU today at $127 dollars a share. It’s relatively pretty low right now and I’m just trying to make about $10 to $20 dollars. Do you think my strategy is good?

I got LABD recently and am up on it. In like November 2023 when it was cheap per share before a split I stumbled into LABU by scanning for cheapest etfs with any decent volume. Sold it near its top but not AT top and recently started buying LABD when it was at a low and it is cheap per share now. Reading the article makes me worry a bit.
I have most of my net worth ($250) tied up on LABU , thanks to Umbrellas success with COVID. With Ingens dinosaur issue it has gone down recently, but now with Skynets interest I bet it goes up tomorrow
I started out several years ago with LABU and sold right after it did a 10 for 1 split, then more recently started going in and out of LABD. I READ somewhere several days ago that LABD is 3X XBI
I got the idea for this post when I noticed the difference between LABU and XBI over the last 12 months.
Ocugen/ICU/Coherus/SLS - all strong on a LABU/XBI bloodbath day, red red market
Do you know if futures ETFs (eg BITO) are like 2-4x ETFs (eg LABU LABD NUGT DUST). If you hold too long, there is decay and much harder to be in positive once starts to fall. I bought BITO long ago, it fell and never seems to get to even despite massive rally in BTC
LABU, Talk about super wild swings.
LABU still worth getting in on
even my  $XBI has printed, not like LABU, but still made me some money 
Can’t hate then tbh I’ll give you some game. Biotech is going nuts rn. Huge volatility with +10% gains daily. If you would’ve just went with LABU 0 dte’s Friday you would’ve had all your money and then some. https://preview.redd.it/w9olm2blxzlc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca276c9f96c9598365370a1f74a6b276c67dea07
I wrote a text that went with this but I a regard and the text isn't showing up! Total degenerate and opened a T-IRA with intent to beat the S&P. Started with 1k and yolo'd into $FNGU. Made some nice trades in LETF but mainly was flat by year end. Big gamble in 2024. Mainly Biotechs! Big wins on $ALDX $ARQT $FATE and $HOWL. Had made wins and losses trying to scalp $LABU. While I swore off biotech by the end of 2021, November CPI of 2023 was a big signal of it's recovery! $XBI and $LABU are giving trading blows and matching with AI and Silicon!
Let’s see, I’m iffy on FATE. Objectively their income statement is awful. 0 profit since and little revenue inception. They raise money by grants and stock offerings. Holding a position in FATE is asking to get diluted. All that said, their stock has had insane run ups, their balance sheet is rock solid, they hold a ton of IP, and they have had some nice licensing agreements in the past. Bull case for FATE maybe up to 8.50 and beyond. Bear case back down to 5. I’m leaning more towards bull but we’ll see how March goes. LABU I’m bullish. It smashed through its previous resistance and biotech is having a crazy run right now. But again, it’s a bull market until it’s not. Full disclosure I’ve liquidated and am in cash but I wouldn’t mind holding a few shares of either.
Most of these companies license out their research. They have no hope unless they have a breakthrough or they get bought out and neither of things happen very often. Best way to trade it is either through a fund like LABU or bet on a single companies tech. I liked FATE bc they’re trying to mass produce niche therapies. They’re a good lab and have good products but don’t do business very well. Plus they somehow always have funding. It’s a big company with an (in my opinion) undervalued share price. But, as you probably know, biotech stocks can go bust or moon with no warning.
