VNDA bio released an ATM dilution and the price has gone down. Speaking of biotechs. I just spent $450 on FBIO options in the last 20 minutes. Wish me luck.
is anyone still holding VNDA? how long are you holding for?
Nah, I don't touch 0dtes anymore. Too exciting, so I know I wont act sensibly. I want it to feel as boring as possible when I'm trading! I usually stick with stock options and wait for good opportunities. I posted another comment with some more details and with my biggest % wins over the past two weeks. But this has mainly been AMZN, GOOG, NNE, VNDA, and XSP (a little bit from SERV and ENVX too).
Mainly AMZN and GOOG, some of which is still running. Went in too early with both and got badly burned (which is why I ended up down $2k). Sold some and rolled down the GOOG (was $340c 3/20, now $310 3/20). The dip kept dipping so I averaged down more than I should have but got lucky. Had some NNE calls I bought when it dipped under $24 last week, a 3dte XSP 690 and 694 call I bought when we hit ~680, and some VNDA calls last week before their FDA PDUFA decision for Bysanti. Here's some of my biggest % wins https://ibb.co/SDmtMJB6 https://ibb.co/JRQmKCRT https://ibb.co/vxZSQhq3 https://ibb.co/1tVSQDJr
IBRX and SLS will outlast VNDA. Very disappointed in VNDA.
Anyone still holding VNDA?
Could we see a dip in VNDA before it continues to run?
Keep holding SGN, NCI, VNDA, IBRX.
SGN, NCI, VNDA, IRBX hold forever.
Anyone think it’s too late to buy FFAI, MSS, VNDA?
VNDA is a bit of a let down so far

Called VNDA two weeks ago now it's up over 50% If you're interested and want to make money ROCKET PHARMA IS NEXT ... RCKT 🚀📈
Rough morning. BHAT looks like it was a bad decision. Averaging down did not help. VNDA is the only thing green in my portfolio.
VNDA volume picking up
Bought 10 shares of VNDA at 8.60 in Friday AH. Hoping it goes double digits today
While you *can* technically hold a short position forever, the 4–6 Days to Cover is a measurement of Liquidity. the thing about the term days to cover is it is a math formula: **(Total Shares Short) ÷ (Average Daily Volume)** You are correct that as long as they meet margin requirements they can stay. However, in a 40%+ breakout, three things happen that make it harder for them to maintain these positions, Shorting isn't just a bet; you are borrowing physical shares from someone else. If the person who lent the shares decides to sell them, or if the broker decides the stock is too Hard to find to borrow, the broker can recall the shares. If they recall the shares and the short-seller can't find new ones to borrow, the broker will force close the position at the current market price, regardless of how much money the short-seller is losing. Brokers usually require 150-300% margin for volatile biotech shorts. If a short sold VNDA at $5.76 and it gaps to $10.00, their required collateral doesn't just go up by $4.24—it often doubles or triples because the broker sees the stock as riskier. If the short-seller doesn't have an extra $50,000 in cash to sit in their account by 2:30 PM, the broker will automatically buy the stock to close the trade. In a squeeze, the borrow fee can skyrocket from 1% to 100% or in some extreme circumstances 300% annually. Even if the stock price stops going up, the short-seller is bleeding thousands of dollars a day just to keep the position open. Eventually, the math stops making sense, and they give up.
VNDA is a good entry price right now.
For all the ones that want to go big ...NCI of course and maybe VNDA if it breaks its high shows a pull back to a new high low over vwap it could run 10 to 12
Anyone looking at VNDA after getting FDA Approval Friday night?
What are people thinking about VNDA for tomorrow?
Can anyone explain this to me please? Vanda Pharmaceuticals (VNDA) shares surged 38% after-hours after the FDA approved Bysanti tablets for schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder, expected to launch by Q3 2026. BUT the graph on trading view shows a daily fall of -5.57% What am I missing?
It will hold, 8.30$ is still cheap. with there cash reserves alone they are 5$ a share, factor in there drugs including the new bysanti which is patent protected till 2044 this company is any where in the 18-25$ a share price range in my opinion. the unique thing about VNDA is that 88% of the current supply of shares are owned by institutions/insiders. with 54m shares technically in circulation but 88% owned by Large institutions that don't day trade, this brings the total supply of shares to roughly 7m based on my calculations. now as of late January the short interest was sitting at 3.22m shares and I suspect this very likely risen leading up to the FDA approval based on how the stock was trading this gives the shorts 4-6 full trading days to cover based on average volume, this is going to cause lots of buying Monday. Looking at the OI on calls for 20th of March there is around 25000 contracts that are likely to be in the money come Monday with the main concentration around the 9/10$ strikes, market makers are going to have to buy shares to hedge against the calls they sold to people like you and me and once again from a 7m float that shorts are also trying to buy to cover there positions, its going to get very hectic. 9$ was hit during AH trading Friday. I expect this to reach 10-12$ a share very quickly come Monday morning.
VNDA is the biotech play for Monday. FDA Approval landed after hours Friday with NCE designation giving extra patent protection through 2044. Should easily get into double digits.
#TLDR --- **Ticker:** VNDA **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Buy Shares / Calls targeting double digits ($10+) **The News:** FDA Approval received late Friday for BYSANTI (Bipolar I / Schizophrenia). **The Moat:** Received "NCE Status" meaning patent protection until 2044. **Institutional Mood:** Point72, Two Sigma, and Balyasny are loading the boat.
$VNDA for Monday PM and through the week - Big news Friday too late to trade
Do more research on VNDA before you consider selling
Looking good. I liquidated most of my penny stocks early in the day when things were dumping. Holding VNDA and still long on ABVE. Averaged down on my other long holds INFQ, POET and QXO during the dips. Hopefully we have a solid green week without 🥭 ruining it. I fear we won't be that lucky . Have a great weekend.
my plays for Monday: VNDA post PDUFA surge FGL nano float, time crunch, high rvol (next TCGL?)
Dang, I wish I would've sized up my VNDA position.
Who got in VNDA? I'm holding for Monday.
🫶🏻 we’re VNDA (wonda) buddies 😝
VNDA got approved by FDA, but still halted. Potentially halted until monday PM. Worth getting in right at the pre market? Same as other millions of people?
VNDA halted pending FDA Approval news

Watching VNDA for news
Red day apart from the biotechs. VNDA on the move. Low volume. Up over 2% already. Just getting started prior to big FDA decision on Saturday. This thing is going PUMP BABY!
Dear Market, SOFI up over 20 this week and surge on VNDA prior to FDA approval Saturday would be ideal. Thabk you for your attention to this matter.
Im holding DNLI, trying to ride the wave till April 5 FDA decision. MDNAF has a symposium on the 17th. VNDA has an FDA decision Feb 21st. Im holding them too. Holding SOUN for Feb earnings call on the 26th.
VNDA up 7% premarket on big FDA approval news incoming due next week.
VNDA. Best time to get in now after the dip. FDA approval 21st Feb will send to the moon!
VNDA is worth considering... Small cap pharma with huge FDA decision imminent regarding approval for new anti psychotic drug BYSANTI on 21ST FEBRUARY. Approval application looks good with no reported FDA clarifications or resubmissions at this stage. Approval would open up a huge new market and rerate the company! Already some other big drug approvals under their belt, they are well positioned for the future being well funded with $260 million in cash - no fear of dilution. DYOR Well worth a closer look.
Vanda Pharma - VNDA. Small cap pharma with huge FDA decision imminent regarding approval for new anti psychotic drug BYSANTI on 21ST FEBRUARY. Approval application looks good with no reported FDA clarifications or resubmissions at this stage. Approval would open up a huge new market and rerate the SP! Already some other big drug approvals under their belt, they are well positioned for the future being well funded with $260 million in cash - no fear of dilution. DYOR Well worth a further look.
Was going to say either VNDA or AXSM.
Meant to buy NVDA and bought VNDA?
Penny stock; 1. Pump and dump (if you’re quick you win) 2. Short squeeze and blast to the moon 3. Bag holder, averaging down hoping for a miracle or lose even more Whenever ppl post something, at least do some research before decide to go in. Invest with the money you can afford to lose! At least, you won’t feel the pain! Set your expectation! 20-30% gain then you’re done for the day! If you missed today, there always tomorrow to ride on! If you bag holding, make sure you did proper research - potential dilution, incoming major news, sufficient cash to operates? Only bag holding stocks that have strong fundamentals! Some of my bag holding wins with strong fundamentals ESPR bought at 1.5 and adding on every drop and it’s now sitting at 4. Sold share at 3.2 and added call options and sold it. I’m looking forward to next year on their blockbuster drugs. Looking for to 6.00 before end of April 2026. I’m hoping Sheldon to do another offering and let the price tank, and I will get the dip price! Otherwise if need to buy if the price drop below 4 RZLT massive drop over 80% due to phase 3 failed. Added at the huge dip with cost at 0.96 and now I’m sitting at >170% unrealised gain. Looking forward to 3.x before selling all. Sufficient cash - >150mil and still have another upcoming phase 3. Upcoming PDUFA approval in December; VNDA - great fundamentals total of 3 PDUFA including upcoming on this month. management rejected multiple offers on buyout. OTLK - this shit if it tank, I’m ok as I put small amount in it. But likely to approve as this is Class 1 resubmission.
OTLK - PDUFA 31st December 2025 VNDA - PDUFA 31st December 2025 Let’s get the FDA approval and it will be my years end bonuses :)
Selling put options on VNDA is a good choice.
Trying to figure out the squeeze potential for VNDA. Earnings tomorrow AM (beaten analyst estimates far more often than not), reasonably diversified pipeline that has readouts expected in the coming months from what I can tell, and while only 10% of float is shorted the average volume is so low that it has 10-11 days to cover. It's up a few points today but I wouldn't say it's pumped yet given its been pretty stable the past week. I don't have too much cash in this one yet b/c I'm not certain, but it's piqued my interest
I am not sure about the short aspect, but current volatile stocks that may have catalysts around then include. TVGN, VNDA, HOWL and WINT TVGN new biotech. Forcast 1 billion in revenue 18-22 billion over 5 years. They are already 600% up on the month. 300% since I first bought after their forecast. When they report earnings, things could go boom boom. VNDA - They rejected a second takeover bid valued at 8 dollars a share. The stock popped, but is down again and you may find a good price. There must be a reason that insiders think the company is undervalued at 8 dollars a share. HOWL has 2 poster presentations coming up in early November. The stock had been quite volatile since the announcement and is currently up 50%. WINT - They have similar presentations coming up on recent positive study data and meetings with investors at a conference on October 30th.
Why is Novo Nordisk stock going down so much? Hey guys, I’m fairly new to investing so bear with me. I was reading a lot about how these GLP-1 medications are getting super popular right now and that the companies making them have the potential to go up a lot in the next few years. I’m following a few that seem popular from what I’ve read. NVO, LLY, VNDA, HIMS. So my question is… why has NVO dropped in price so much over the last month compared to the others? LLY has stayed pretty much the same and HIMS has gone up 22% in the last month.
I wish I had bought more CAPR when I first read this ( it might've been yesterday actually lol) I got it for $9.9 & change per share premarket & then it closed at $15+. It went down a tiny bit today (a lot of things were down due to the Middle East escalation), but it was $18 at its peak today right? I bought a couple of LODE mid November $.50 calls since they were only like $5-$10 each and they have their earnings sometime after October 18th & before the Novembef call expires. I'm up a tiny bit on ZVRA, I think im about even on VNDA. I sold SMMT before it once again dropped below my cost avg, since I've had that happen 2x already. I'm down on RR but if I recall it's only like .80 something/share and I didn't put much into it. Overall, so far, so very good!
VNDA Had buyout offers from 7 to 8 a shared. Currently under 5.50.
MAXN up 12% today! 🤣😂😂🤣 The only stock up today that you are hyping is VNDA!
SELL NVDA BUY VNDA! :D Kidding of course. I own both.
VNDA. Trading at $5.25 but they’ve recently received buyout offers +$9/share
What do you think the proper value of VNDA is given the board keeps rejecting these offers as too low?
Coincidentally I took a large position in VNDA this past week. 3 take over offers. 2 of which from the same company and they denied them outright. The 3rd is probably going to go the same way. The offers, as well as Vanda's confidence in its rejection, are a big buy signal for me.
To add: VNDA has a lot in their pipeline that are in phase 3. They keep getting acquisition offers which spikes the stock which they have been declined causing the stock the drop. I don’t think they’ll accept the most recent offer either.
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).
Is it good idea to jump on VNDA. Share sitting at $5.15 and they were just offered buyout at $7+
VNDA popped this week from the announcement of FDA approval on fanapt for bipolar 1 (previously only used for schizophrenia). With bipolar 1 being much more prevalent, this stock is set to explode back to VNDA 2021 values of 3x what the stock is valued at today. This should be a great opportunity for us regards to make some good money on year out calls.
VNDA should squeeze today?! Yesterday's volume over 50 Mil following the same trading pattern as MESO did?
not to repeat myself, and I am new here, but $VNDA is a thing of beauty. Check it out
Why my VNDA jump so much after hrs
VNDA up 21% People mistyping nvda?
Vanda (VNDA) has a PDUFA date for Tuesday April 2nd for approval of expanding the label of their Fanapt drug.
Not sure how much dd you’ve done on this. I did about 5 mins of research and I saw that it was for the drug iloperidone (brand name Fanapt) which is already FDA approved for schizophrenia. It seems to me that VNDA is simply running trials with the drug for bipolar l disorder and showing FDA the results. Therefore, it is not a new drug and I wouldn’t expect the stock to explode as new drugs have
Thanks to the regard who suggested puts on VNDA. Not a massive profit, but money is money.
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
Another small cap I found on the screener but haven't bought yet is VNDA, looks very promising.
