That doesn't make it a bad investment opportunity  ;)
I'd have to disagree

Maybe a good gambling opportunity  ???

If it gets delayed and the stock plummets even further, why wouldn't you some exposure? At a very low cost with very high upside, it seems like a no brainer to me. Especially since the odds of approval go up with an extension. IINM, the fear of additional testing taking years is if it gets rejected and they have to start over. An extension would allow them to clarify (or build on) the existing studies.

That's why I'd want to be out before the event date, and I'd be willing to get back in if sellers overreact. This drug has a shot and I'd be willing to hang tight during an extension for the upside. But it doesn't make sense to me to hold on to a basis in the $10-$14 range if this thing could be sitting at <$5 for an extended period of time before coming back.

Selling before the event date only risks missing out on a spike up if all goes well, and my gut feeling is waiting for a hyped up date is almost always a mistake (and often a PnD). There's no reason the FDA has to wait until 7/7, they could approve this at any time - so if it's still silent in the final countdown I'm not hanging around for the buzzer.

My personal approach is likely to be a hybrid. Sell some to minimize risk and to reinvest if the opportunity arises, and keep some to stay in the game in case of approval or positive market reaction to an extension.

especially with calls (vs actual stocks) where you don't have any of the actual positive exposure long term

Yes, but I don't think I'd approach it much differently holding actual shares. The risk calculation would have the most of the same elements.

The IV has been insanely high for this stock, making options unattractive to my taste.

or you can purchase protective puts to protect against a major collapse on the decision. July 10p currently priced @1.25 (makes sense for me as I got in around 10)

Looks like ccxi jumped the gun and is requesting more time to present more data. Don't know if that is positive news or not, but it is trading sharply higher in the pre market

I feel like that's a good sign, they are preemptively getting more data to give it a better chance of getting approved

It really messes up some people with options that were expecting a decision

I believe it's July 9th (7th?). I bought Nov 21 and Jan 22.
The options you bought did not get wiped at all....

BH, those didn't. Sometime between then and now, I also bought July calls (against my gut feeling at the time). G-d gives and G-d takes.

Someone on here asked why not to buy Chinese companies, here why. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/07/china-is-cracking-down-on-stocks-that-trade-on-us-exchanges-what-it-means-if-you-hold-them.html?

Isn't the DIDI fiasco enough of a reason?

Not to say anyone shouldn't buy stock in Chinese companies, but one can never lose sight of the added risk in the fact that they are subject to the whims of a totalitarian regime.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

and G-d gives back....

Best trade of the year for me so far- up more than 60% from the 10 range. No reason not to just hold now and hope for the best going into the October meeting
