$myov:
Company has a drug, Relugolix w/ 3 potential use cases so far: 1) Men’s health: already approved for Prostate Cancer on Dec 2020. From what i can tell drug is just as safe & works as well as the competition. Benefit is its the only oral drug; competition is only injectable
The mens health is monotherapy meaning just the drug while the other use cases are in combination with others for womens health. By the way if i had to go to doc to get an injection or be able to take medicine orally id skip the injection every time, think they take massive share
2) womens health, uterine Fluids: multiple phase 3 studies all passed with flying colors with all endpoints being met and safety is good. Imo pretty much a lock to be approved and FDA said would rule by 6/1 or earlier on this so less than 60 days from now (catalyst)
3) womens health endometriosis: this one isnt as much of a lock as the last one but could still very likely to be approved. Will be Submitting the NDA to the FDA in June and likely ruled on by end of this yr. seems to me 70-80% chance of approval
Bull case on the stock used to be that sumitomo (owns 55% of $myov) would just buy them out as they have a history of doing that plus in 2019 & 2020 they kept giving $myov huge loans at low interest rates since being a large shareholder last thing theyd want is to be diluted
Everyone expected deal of $30-35 once prostate cancer use case approved by FDA but instead $myov shocked & signed partnership with $pfe for joint commercialization of all three use cases. It was a great deal but stock plummeted as ppl wanted a buyout & now weren’t going to get it
Since then every positive thing $myov has announced has been met with relentless selling as no one buys bios to slog through a commercialization story especially during covid which makes it tough and instead just wants a buyout so ppl short and others sell.
$myov positives: 1) $pfe deal 2) appointed new ceo with track record in industry of successful commercialization 3) this week announced a new experienced chief commercial officer.
All of these plus horrible technicals for both the $xbi and $myov has led to relentless selling
$pfe deal worth 4.2B:
650M upfront
Gross profits shared 50/50
SG&A & R&D expenses related to Relugolix development/commercialization 50/50
1.75B sales milestones for mens health
1.75B same for women’s health
100M for FDA approval Uterine Fluids
100M for FDA approval Endometriosis
50M & double digit royalties if $pfe commercializes prostate cancer in Europe
Takeda: commercializing prostrate cancer in Asia paying $myov high single digit royalties
Gideon Richter: europe commercialization of womens health: 147.5M w/tiered royalties (40M upfront already paid)
Analyst targets range from 26 to 55 w/peak sales estimates of 2.5B to 2.8B/year
Net cash of 400M currently with market cap of 1.65B at $18/share
Sales: 62M this yr, 296M next yr which seems conservative since as part of $pfe deal their 200 salespeople are selling Relugolix
$pfe has extensive oncology resources which makes this deal so good, much faster & more efficient commercialization than $myov could do & cheaper since same $pfe salespeople will sell Relugolix at same time & already know & have relationships w/ all the docs
Faster & better than $myov having to spend time finding, interviewing, training salespeople who have to find docs and develop relationships and then sell. Cant overstate enough how much faster they will hit peak sales with additional 200 salesppl of $pfe in addition to $myov 100
Pipeline: a negative is theres not much pipeline though perhaps the time to worry about that is not when they have yet to approve 2/3 of their portfolio. Infertility is a use case thats already passed phase 1 and 2 years ago. Theyll start phase 3 after womens health approved
Bottom Line: I see compelling derisked long oppty in the bio space for a company with a great partnership and highly likely to get all three indications passed with fast track to commercialization and massive milestones and royalties. 30-50% upside heading into June approval imo

Portfolio Up 50% from when tech rally started 7 days ago & back to ATH now. Was HEAVILY in $fb, $goog, $aapl, $amzn, $snap, $twtr calls before rally...anyone who follows me knows ive been saying that large tech would be the next rotation & it finally was. Have trimmed some now
Still see $amzn and $aapl being good opptys into earnings with $amzn finally breaking out post earnings. Have sold off the last 3 crushed reports, with sentiment changing and union win think it wont sell off a 4th time. Also prime day back to June which might not be in estimates
Still have large positions in growth at reasonable price names which i think keep running. $estc, $crm, $splk, $pd, $ntnx (my largest loser of the yr) and some names outside of tech like $wynn, $myov, $rh and some other expensive ones like $pins and $roku still.
The good: besides large tech $aapl, $goog, $amzn, and $fb for which i happened to be perfectly positioned with a monster amount of call options prior to them rising $crm, $splk, and new buy yday $plan were very strong today. $estc with a nice recovery though down today and $pd ok
The Bad: largest position $ntnx continues to eat shit every day. Im either going to be shockingly wrong here or proven right & make a small fortune
$gogo randomly fell apart today
$amd refuses to run
$fsly drops regardless of what thr market is doing
$wynn: no rallies hold
Oppty for coming weeks:
Still think $mu breaks out
$aapl goes to 150 and 180 by end of yr
$amzn breaks out to new ATH
$gogo announces refinance rate and surges finally
One of my biggest losses/investing failures came on cannabis side. I did all the financial statement analysis, saw the demand was great and extrapolated the additional capacity coning online with the unit economics & got bulled up on select names i thought were great like $vff
Stock fell from 13 to 4 in a straight line as most companies got killed in the canadian space. What i missed was margin compression due to too much competition and oversupply. I try to take that lesson with me and when others see high margins i see potential for price erosion
I tend to be more contrarian in nature. For example very negative on $fubo & while less so dont see anything but never ending losses on $nvta for foreseeable future (maybe in 5-10 years could be ok but by then dilution will have hit hard as already has). $jmia imo hits 20 or 10
Valuation thread with heavy credit to @akramsrazor whose podcast highly recommend for insights. Lets take $zm. Everyone was in love with their earnings beat and higher guide and congratulating themselves for being long after the last q and then thr stock dropped 30% quickly..why?
$zm reported revs of 883M & guided to 902M revs for next q. The runrate of 902M per q1 guide if taken flat for rest of yr is 3.6B. They guided to 3.77B. Thats just a 5% increase for the yr from q1 run rate. That is a massive decline & implies negative billings growth 2H of 21..
A stock that at the time was trading 35x revs (now 28x) for negative growth second half of this yr is too much. $zm ended this yr at 2.65B revs so u could say well hey thats still 42% growth next yr which is great! Well not really because q1 and q2 are easy compares.
Bearish thesis thread: 1) there are so many ppl that have made SO much $ over the past year on stocks like $zm, $crwd, $roku, $pins and now a million spaqs. Many are first time investors who have no clue hoe much capital gains tax they are going to owe from all the $ they made
2) but thats NOT all the taxes u owe! Anyone trading in & out or selling anything this yr ALSO owes estimated payments for the first q on top of 2020 capital gains which many dont realize. For example im up 90% ytd already and given 2019 taxes were small i owe a ton on 21 already
3) i would think ppl need to pay taxes couple weeks beforehand but some will sell earlier and then others will make a play on this even earlier to front run it as history has shown selling to pay taxes HAS caused liquidity event drops before
Been doing a lot of thinking & honestly think $rkt could potentially be lining up for a mini $gme type moment:
1) $rkt tried to go public at 150M shares @ $20-22 however due to weak demand cut back to 100M shares @ $18. This also means pre lockup the float was just 100M or $2B
2) ive been monitoring short interest and ever since last q its gone up 5% every two weeks like clockwork with the latest info now showing 37% of shares held short. This is off the 100M ipo float not the total.
3) last q they announced a $1B buyback...now let that sink in, less than 3 months after going ipo they are buying back $1B out of the $2B total of shares they issued to go public at 18, when has anyone ever seen that happen ever?!
