Hi Stocktrader,

ZYNE moved pretty good today. Do you see any news? Are you planning to add or sell? I still have these.

Thanks,
Explorer

Hi Stocktrader,

ZYNE is on the move again. I am glad that you are holding on to it. I wish I had bought more when it plunged. Nobody can predict anything. Good luck.

Hi explorer,

I'm seriously looking at selling out. The data from the epilepsy trial was very troubling, including limited effect overall and lower effect at higher doses, which is really strange. I think it presents a lot of risk for the osteoarthritis trial.

Hi Saleem,

Sold ZYNE @ 8.10

I have worries about their drug, as well as the broken stock in a seemingly more difficult environment now. I don't think it's time for bottom feeding.

Hi Saleem,

Sold MJCO @ 4.63 avg

The thesis didn't play out, and it was finally time to cut it loose given the poor technicals and uncertain catalysts.
