Thoughts on shorting MRNA and PFE

Mistake is on you for holding junk like PFE.
Investing was an interesting vehicle to prosper for the long term. I felt like I could research and was intellectually capable enough to think beyond the common retail investor. The biggest mistakes I made was not holding objectively great stocks (ULTA, MSFT, etc). I am fairly patient, and I avoided nearly all the get rich quick stocks, options, etc.. But I feel like there were falling knives that, because of their names, I felt were not only too big to fail but also sure fire. I held PFE and F for YEARS with essentially no return just because those were big, well known companies that I felt had such a grip on the overall economy and their respective markets that I could see them not making money. I averaged down on F literally 5 times, sold at 10% above my average after 6 years. I avoided all of the traps normal retailers fall for. And maybe that’s why I didn’t outright LOSE money. But 2 of 3 large “sure fire” companies I bought didn’t return much of anything. They just sat there while VOO kept exploding.
100%. For every good pick, there was a bad pick. RACE ran up nicely until it didn’t. I still like the stock, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon, but one bad earnings and it depreciated greatly. I held PFE for a decade at nearly a $0 return. If you subtract the 5-7% dividend over those years, it was literally stagnant (I realize dividend absolutely should count within the overall return, but annualized 6% gains is literally nothing in this market).
I hear you on this and you're correct on the financials, but it's not the right way to look at a startup in biopharm. This bet isn't about the financials and trajectory of the standalone company as it's a drug development play. It's a binary event outcome. The ideal outcome is an acquisition by LLY or PFE with a share price around $24 based on similar drugs, TAM, and test trial efficacy. They also have a significant amount of patents that make them a good acquisition target. There is no play here in terms of them turning profitable on their own. This goes to zero if their trail data comes back bad, or $20-40/share in the next 6 months via acquisition.
Considerable. What is the history of capital allocation, how have prior deals worked out? PFE is an example of a company with very lackluster capital allocation. How have they done with previous goals and product lines? There was a point years ago where GoPro was coming out with a drone and people were like "OMG yes drone!" I went, "they can't even do well with the core business line, why am I supposed to be confident in them getting into drones?" The drone line was delayed, then recalled then they got out of the business. I wouldn't be still holding NVDA several years later if it wasn't for Jensen.
I think it’s easier to look at stocks or sectors individually as opposed to the market as a whole. Healthcare stocks especially PFE and BMY are like a hummer driving through the snow. They are on bullish tracks and generally they don’t follow the day to day market trend closely. Bank stocks are the opposite. They’re the dogs wagging the market’s tail. BAC and JPM have hit both lower highs and lower lows since they peaked end of 2025. The might continue this way or do a flagpole pattern and shoot back up.
EU was concerned about control and fascism way before Palantir… Eu wanted to abolish end to end on WhatsApp years ago, they wanted to ban crypto for years, now they want the chat control and they are already trying to track every crypto transaction…in the US none of that is a thing, and although there is all the patriot act and Snowden stuffs, none of the things above is being pushed there. And no, it is not right wing power as you say, in the European Parliament S&D (left) was in favor, as well as the PPE (moderate right), and RE (center); while PFE (far right, often called fascists) are against it, and ECR (right) is divided.
OK I‘ll carry on doing things slow and steady. Still lots on my shopping list…CDE, GOOG, HOG, PFE, GE, WDC…seems fast money not so clever. Thx for the guidance.
Personally I’m doing this with SOFI. I believe it will have upside in the long term but run flat or slightly lower in the short term. Premiums are good because the price has a lot of day to day movement. I also sometimes do CCs on PFE but only on days when it’s running hot and then I try to go ATM to maximize extrinsic value. Otherwise most of the time premiums are so low that risk/reward ratios just don’t make sense. I won’t specifically recommend these or any stocks. These are just ones I know and feel comfortable investing in. Regardless, I would say in this environment look for stocks that have show good investor support and aren’t just popping all over the place for doing covered calls.
Good for you! I hope you unloaded the SOFI calls yesterday…I did a bearish call spread at the peak yesterday which has paid off. Have another ITM covered call rolling premiums. For PYPL I’ve been doing diagonals. Performing nicely. I’ll take the risk with just the calls through earnings. PFE I’m holding the stock and just did a bullish put spread. I’ll wait until it pushes resistance again to do covered calls.
What a coincidence. I own PFE and PYPL (at embarrassing losses). I bought SOFI calls on the 3 black crows of Friday past and sold them as the advancing black candle of April 9 developed. https://schrts.co/inmCFyWA
I would stay away from SPY, especially 0DTEs, since it’s anyone’s guess what will happen on a day to day basis. I’m just looking at individual setups, see if they make sense. There’s too much going on to try reading an entire market. PFE is still very stable bullish even through the mess. PYPL has bottomed out and shifted into neutral territory. SOFI seems it might have found a bottom but might test it again.
I do CSPs on it every month and collect where Im assigned. The risk vs yield is very attractive on PFE, you can comfortably yield 12-15% very safely with it doing the wheel like I do.
Putt PFE Long and low You will See
Put it all into KVUE, PFE, MO, and 20k into dividend ETFs and uninstall.
There are plenty of stocks that aren’t as crazy like PFE. You can also use options to protect your positions once you understand how they work
After 5 years im almost back to even on PFE 🚀
New 52 week high for $PFE this morning. I know there are a few Pfiser holders here. Congratulations for holding.
I stick with a pretty simple method: If I can identify the trend along with support and resistance, I write calls when the underlying is in a resistance zone. Occasionally will do bullish put spreads at support if the stock is very stable like PFE. If I see a stock in a clear downturn, I’ll keep selling ATM or slightly ITM to protect the position. If I can’t identify a clear support/resistance trend lines I just stay away. The actual volatility isn’t as important as the consistency of the trend. 1-2 weeks right now is the magic zone for time value decay due to high volatility.
Calls on PFE. Rumor has it they have developed a Chemical Weapons Vaccine.
Ive been bullish on PFE for like 9 months now but never see it mentioned lol
PFE 1yr chart is looking like XOM did before the war. When’s the new disease going to come out?
Love PFE, put in a pretty aggressive CSP for it every month.
But one of the dividend stocks is PFE Philizer and it hasn’t moved a bit. Also AAPL and AEP. A few others.
IBRX DDD F Maybe some $30 PFE calls for October.
Why is there so much OI on PFE all the way to 2028. Puts and calls.
PFE did it again :o https://investors.pfizer.com/Investors/News/news-details/2026/TALZENNA-Plus-XTANDI-Significantly-Improves-Radiographic-Progression-Free-Survival-in-Metastatic-Prostate-Cancer/default.aspx
man i member during RONA 🥭 would bring out top CEOs in every industry like WMT, PFE, TGT, etc and pump up their shares - it was like a cyclical rotation and WSB would be rolling the slots on each good times
Guise I sold PFE CCs and it +3% the next day They are probably going to cure cancer now, you're welcome
At least you made profit from a PFE call.
I’m gonna go ahead and get long corruption real quick JPM, LMT, PFE
Does anyone like PFE right now?
PFE feels like such the obvious play next 5-10 years
I've never sold a covered call in my life but it sounds like a great idea. I own a lot of PFE and HPQ as well
Buy PFE cause they’re releasing some new pandemic shit soon
You'd better be bullish on PFE.
It still does not make sense because this is still a PFE incoming and with a plan to spin-off a special dividend to shareholders - this is a good arbitrage trade.
If you want to diversify from a HYSA, then yes a cash brokerage is an option. Depending on the state you file taxes a muni bond ETF or mutual fund is a good option. A broad market mutual fund or ETF is also good. Then I'd look at the large cap dividend company stocks like PFE, GIS, VZ, T. Buy 5 shares a week. Collect all the S&P100 or 500 or 1000! Ok maybe that's ludacris. But you get the idea.
I want more PFE, and want to open a MSFT position for my long term accounts.
Can someone sell me some 25.5 March 20 PFE please
Everyone misses the point that caused the dot com crash. The S&P 500 was overly concentrated in a few stocks. It wasn't pets dot com and the other internet crap stocks. In 2000 the 10 largest stocks made up 23.2% of the S&P 500 market cap. Today the top 10 stocks make up 40.7% of S&P market cap. Does that sound familiar? Why is reddit daily stock chat sound like we are in a major bear market or market correction when we are maybe 1-2% from ATH's in the $SPY? 1. $MSFT. 2. $GE, 3.$CSCO, 4. $WMT, 5. $INTC, 6. $PFE. That was your top 6 stocks by market cap in Jan 2000. None of the crappy, non profitable internet stocks were atop the S&P. And now the market concentration is 2x of Jan 2000.
Been holding 100 shares of $PFE since March of 2024. I’m up $2. 🤡
Hey Jensen will you do anti-cancer nanobots in the future, or should I bet on MRK. JNJ or PFE instead?
NVO will be a play, but timing it with any accuracywill be horrible. Just seems at its price, PFE is a more solid play with less concebtration risk
My friend, US bond yields are right now lower they've been in more than 6 months, even lower than they were in red October, despite markets generaslly being close to ATH. And still, bond yield is more attractive than most oil companies would ever be, and if you noticed, the 10 year yield got lower, VIX consistently over 21. Oil companies need to compete with bank yields, legacy yields (ATT, PFE) and fight back oil and intl macros; whereas bonds, PFE, ATT, are always there. No, money ain't permanently relocating to other industries within SPY; liquidity is drying up generally, can't run away to GLD without being stolen, which is why SPY/QQQ are red... This is not the market "crashing" it's liquidity drying up, the opposite of your conclusion.
That's some funny shit. Buying MU for the dividend. That's like buying PFE for growth.
RYCEY, MSFT, AMZN, PFE, CCJ Maybe return to INTL when the stock price drops again. Chip production and all that
It's a shame you didn't buy PFE ATL with a 7% kickback
Buffet bought back $25B in BRK stock, opened new positions in BMY, PFE, ABBV, MRK, and B, spent $B on Dominion's natural gas infrastructure, and added to existing positions. What in the world are you talking about? Just because he didn't spend all his cash doesn't mean he bought nothing.
MRK, PFE, XOM, MSFT, VZ Hopefully SPXC but need to add some more
Buy silver putt PFE Make money be happy See it ? Thank me in 2mos ok 👍
PFE should sue NVO for that bid on that company that they bought out. Let the big pharma wars begin!
Probably true in mega cap tech. Stodgy dividend payers have done very well lately (PFE, CAT, JNJ, WMT, MRK, VZ, etc). It feels like a collapse if you're overweight tech, but it's really just a healthy rotation.
Instead of chasing "hot" sectors, I'd flip the question: which sectors are currently *out of favor* but have strong fundamentals? Healthcare and pharma got hammered by regulatory uncertainty and tariff fears - companies like UNH or PFE are trading at significant discounts to their 5-year averages. Same with enterprise software after the AI-will-replace-everything panic - many established SaaS names with sticky revenue are down 30-40% despite solid cash flows. The value investor's edge isn't predicting which theme wins, it's buying quality when everyone else is running away. Your S&P 500 base is smart, but if you want sector exposure, consider looking at what's unloved rather than what's in the headlines. The best time to buy defense stocks was before the Ukraine war, not after they tripled.
About to full port $PFE, thats kinda where im at at this moment.
PFE and ENPH was a good mind fuck lol
alright guys. its official I've had the worst hit rate in my investing career the past month (negative) - bought adbe, bought crm, bought msft (negative) - bought paypal before earnings (mostly as a whipsaw quick return since it was at 50) (negative) - did not sell/trim NVO prior to earnings - (negative) - did not sell/trim any AMD prior to earnings (negative) - trimmed 30% of PFE prior to earnings (negative) - Trimmed 20% of GOOGLE prior to earnings (negative) - accumulated SOFI since 26/share (negative) - Sold Enphase Prior to earnings (Positive) - Accumulated ELF prior to earnings **That's a 1/11 hit rate.** I guess that's what I get for buying tons of AMD at 88 share last year, google at 150/share, and SOFI at 8-9 share last year a lot of these were accumulations at good levels so im hoping they turn around eventually.
Dividend stock. That OI wasn’t there a week ago. PFE at 10 year low. AI painted pictures as bright as possible. What’s there to look forward too? Now battle of companies. I bought 20 strikes and sold 27 strikes. PFE above 26-27 the way I see it it’s 45% gains. Let them get called away.
Look at the OI on PFE 1/2028 calls.
the past few weeks has been absolutely every decision being the wrong decision in the short term, I'm actually impresssed. kept/bought adbe/crm/sofi/msft/nvo/amd/crm - ALL crashed sold PFE after earnings due to soft guidance - its up now more sold ENPH - its up 25%
LLY is a breath of fresh air for my LNTH holding. NVO, PFE, and MRK are all either suffering from competition, soon to be expired patents, and scrambling to disassociate with China/India manufacturing. Also u/_hiddenscout turned me on to this article and it blew my mind. https://fortune.com/2025/06/17/novo-nordisk-ozempic-wegovy-semaglutide-canada-patent-protection-fee/](https://fortune.com/2025/06/17/novo-nordisk-ozempic-wegovy-semaglutide-canada-patent-protection-fee/
Well my PFE calls didn’t work out. Thankfully they are June expiration
MRK puts and it pumps PFE NVO LLY red LMAO at least my PFE strangle printed
Imagine having a retirement account with PARA, INTC, PFE Just watching your life churn away for years
thoughts on PFE? been holding this company for 1.5 years at a mild loss (5%) for basically the lower valuation and 6.5% dividend. Company beat earnings again but has tempered FY26 guidance for EPS and revenue, accounting for an agreement with donald trump that could compress margins. I'm wondering if the new fed chair being appointed this year that there will be more of an appetite for higher dividend stocks and PFE may benefit? (lower interest rates)
Once again PFE dividend goes up and stock goes down
I always viewed PFE as an acquirer and not innovative - some acquisition went well but most were poorly done. I was really liking the Seagen acquisition but I now have my doubts and still watching from the side-lines. MRK is another story and too tough for me to call - for me, this is the break year for the CEO.
MRK and PFE didn’t have bad earnings from a numbers standpoint, but the guidance from both did not bode well for the US healthcare in the mid-term length. Looks like a lot of patents are coming up on expiration and companies are buying up smaller biotech/pharma companies because of it. Also, both are mentioning uncertainties with the current administration’s take on healthcare in general. And, it seems the ‘American First’ onshoring efforts in general are playing a big factor right now with trying to become less reliant on China/India manufacturing.
MRK puts, PFE straddle, PEP puts at open thinking about UBER calls, anyone?
for tomorrow my guesses are 🍏 $PLTR $PYPL $NXPI $IT 🍎 $PEP $PFE $MRK $TER $RMBS
I'm definitely seeing a lot of stocks ready to fly soon. PFE, NVO, MELI, UBER, SMR, AES, FISV, CRWV, NBIS On a riskier play note, I think NIO and EVTL could be multi-baggers this year. Easily up at least 80% from current levels, imo.
If you buy a LEAP and then sell a call, that’s really more of a diagonal or PMCC and you actually run the risk of not just getting called away but also losing on the trade if the underlying shoots up faster than you expect. It seems that you are chasing growth and premiums at the same time. Essentially you are fighting yourself with your trades. My favorite for doing covered calls is PFE. But I also do bullish put spreads. Covered calls are initiated where I see PFE hitting resistance and bullish put spreads are initiated where I see strong support. I don’t even look at RSI…simple resistance and support trendiness and evidence of the underlying bouncing off of them serve as my guideline for when to initiate a trade. I think the best way to do covered calls is as follows: 1) Pick an underlying which has a clear trading pattern and valuation to support the trading pattern. Stocks with consistent dividends have the added advantage of this additional source or income and stability. 2) Sell calls ATM or slightly OTM when resistance is clear and unlikely to be breached. 3) Don’t panic if the stock shoots up. Hold until it reverses. If it doesn’t reverse for several weeks, let it get called away and start over. 4) Do bullish put spreads when the underlying is near a support level.
Bear market vibes Feels like we're due for a leg down until mid-terms, IMO. With all the political tension and lack of rate cuts, with mid-terms, the big boys aren't going to come in with volume. You have rare earth metal prices going up that's driving hits to profit margins, inflation elevated, layoffs, no rate cuts, potential WWIII, midterms...> If you're a serious investor you're going to be playing it very safe with some beaten down DOW names imo. I know those defensive stocks aren't the most sexy, but those high dividend plays could be the rotation coming. Look t PFE. It's divy is huge and it's slowly inching it's way up. LMT...OXY.....
I always go out 1 mth. Right now I can sell strike at $27. For .15 At PFE
More demand after all this is over though right. Folks who bought PFE during trump 1 before covid made out pretty well.
I am going back to Alaska again this summer and I don't have to sell META to do it. META sits in a taxable account with 9 other positions. If I needed to raise capital I would sell PFE with a 9% gain or IBM with a 19% gain. META closed at 3413% gain, why sell it when I have more tax efficient options. And besides, knowing that when a friend or a 501(3)c gets my META, the capital gain goes away, makes me smile.
If you would ignore the Covid time period, the $PFE charts look pretty good. I treat those boomer divy stocks as bonds and just take the dividend payouts as cash to reinvest somewhere else.
PFE bagholder here. Finally green after two years.
