Am. Society of Cataract/Refractive Surgery (SGHT, RXST, OCUL, EYEN, GRAY)

The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery website is: https://annualmeeting.ascrs.org/

This is an event held every year billed as an educational and networking event, but it also features a few publicly traded companies whose products treat members of the community. It is a less widely known event, so the “runup” period might not be as volatile as the runup periods for more widely discussed catalysts. However, the multiweek runup period, leading up to this event, is a period that certain traders are keenly interested in.

Alternatively, other traders might consider using the actual event and data that will be made public thereafter as a catalyst to place a short term trade focused on the actual news event. Price action leading up to the event and a fundamental knowledge of the presenting companies would affect how some traders chose to play an event like this.
