I have no idea why $DMTK is down 14% today -- makes no sense. There is no news.

Volume is not that heavy and short interest is up to 25% so the bears/shorts are clearly running the show.
$DMTK is still one of my highest conviction stocks for the next 3-5 years. Adoption with dermatologists will be slow, just like it is for most new technologies but eventually $DMTK will be the standard of care. Dermatologists will use the patch before they use the scalpel.
I still believe $DMTK has enormous upside over the next 5+ years.

Don't forget that PLA is just their first product, they have more genomics smart patches coming to market later this year and next year that should be 10x bigger than the PLA product for melanoma detection.

Here's my writeup on $DMTK from late January when the stock was trading in the high $30s jonahlupton.substack.com/p/dmtk-dermtec…
Here's my recent interview with the CEO of $DMTK
I first got into $DMTK in the mid $30s and kept adding all the way into the low $60s.

The stock continued to rally into the $80s and has since pulled back more than 50% and actually dipped below $37 today.

My cost basis is now $45
It sucks to be losing money on $DMTK but this doesn't change my investment thesis for $DMTK over the next 3-5 years.

The only thing that changed is the stock price.

My conviction in $DMTK is still high. I'm focused on what this company can do for early skin cancer detection.

These are tough days for growth investors but also why it's important to keep some perspective.

If you're a long term investor don't let a few days/weeks derail you from your investment strategy.

You'll never achieve big returns if you can't handle some pullbacks along the way.
Whenever my growth stocks pullback I tend to get more concentrated in my favorite positions where I have the most conviction. This doesn't always pay off but it's what works for me.

It's important for every investor to figure out how you want to manage through volatility.
Generally speaking, I think most investors are better off not micromanaging their portfolio or timing the markets because none of us are smart enough to do it well on a consistent basis.

I wanted to share something about @CelsiusOfficial ($CELH) that I learned a couple days ago when talking to a beverage industry expert.

I've been explaining over the past month that $CELH is transitioning from DTR (direct to retailer) to DSD (direct story delivery).
On the last earnings call the CEO of $CELH shared that they now have agreements with 150+ regional DSD partners. I've been wondering how they got to such a large number so quickly and I finally found out why.
Last year when $PEP acquired Rockstar for $3.8 billion they did so because they were locked up in an exclusive distribution agreement and it was the only way out. Rockstar is a dying brand but $PEP wanted some optionality.

Just wrapped up calls with one of the $INTZ analysts as well as Investor Relations -- I'm still very bullish on $INTZ.

$INTZ is a $450M company with 2022 revenue estimates of $55-65M which means 150% top line growth with 70% gross margins.

Intro video:
$INTZ has done DoD work for 30+ years ($8-10 million per year) but now they are taking all of that data & expertise to launch an enterprise product called Shield.

They are already closing deals with Fortune 500 companies: globenewswire.com/fr/news-releas…
They also have 22+ resellers that are selling their product (typically companies with under 100 employees)...

Congrats to $TMDX for receiving the approval vote from the FDA panel hearing on OCS Heart 🚀
prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
Even though yesterday was a big day for $TMDX shareholders the bigger catalyst is still coming when $TMDX gets approval for DCD (donation after circulatory death) who.int/servicedeliver…

We also have OCS Liver approval on the horizon.
Because of all these catalysts Jason Mills from Canaccord Genuity raised his price target last month to $79 (more than 100% upside from current prices) streetinsider.com/Analyst+Commen…

I'm not sure who is selling $TMDX today but thank you for the gift because I'm buying your shares.

I'll keep betting on $TMDX because I've seen the competition and it sucks.

$TMDX OCS Heart vs. The Ice Cooler
$TMDX has their FDA panel hearing tomorrow; although these events are unpredictable I believe the data is overwhelming and $TMDX will eventually receive approval for DCD and DBD.

Please do your own due diligence.

This was my $TMDX writeup from February: jonahlupton.substack.com/p/tmdx-transme…
Pullback to 50d moving average: chrt.biz/TMDX/190744x4u…

I would not be surprised if funds were selling their shares and/or shorting $TMDX to put pressure on the stock price so they could load up on call options. Don't get shaken out of your highest conviction companies.
