Hi Saleem,

Rebought OPTN @ 19.33

An analyst note today gave me more confidence to hold the stock:

Optinose launch of Xhance could far exceed expectations, says Jefferies

After surveying 50 high prescribing physicians, Jefferies analyst David Steinberg says Optinose's launch of Xhance could far exceed expectations. Physicians report 57% of their patients will receive prescriptions annually at peak, Steinberg tells investors in a research note. Using the most conservative response regarding patient use per year, implied peak sales could reach $1.1B, well above the $700M consensus, the analyst contends. He believes that while payer pushback is inevitable, the survey suggests Xhance "could be one of the top sector launches in some time." The anlayst keeps a Buy rating on Optinose shares with a $31 price target.

Hi Saleem,

Sold EXAS @ 39.56

The stock didn't bounce as expected with the rebound in the general market. That tells me the stock is still weak. Since this was mostly a "trade", I'll let it go for now. Besides that, the technicals are pretty bad still.

Hi Saleem,

Trimmed some BABA @ 170.68

Given the relative underperformance in this market rebound, it doesn't deserve the highest weighting in the portfolio.

Hi Saleem,

Bought KIDS @ 16.18 with my remaining cash.

The early innings of a great story. I'll see what develops here.
