This event ends on November 1st, and has a million and one companies presenting at it. The full list is below, but the tickers that stand out to us as the most interesting from a short term swing (Runup or Event Trade) are: EMBK, WBX, PLL, and HYLN due to their higher levels of volatility. […]

This Fed Meeting is widely expected to culminate in either a .25% or .5% rise in interest rates. Typically, going into the meeting, traders are extra jittery, and volatility tends to increase. The debate going into this one will be how much the interest rate rise will be, and the potential effects. Often, traders hedge […]

This event has a very specific audience. If you have read previous blurbs about the Catalyst Calendar Events, we try to focus in on events where the audience is likely very wide, and people being presented to have come for other reasons but are there listening anyways. However, in this case, the event is oriented […]

This event lasts until the 5th, and while it is focused on Nephrology, there are a lot of companies attending, and many of the companies have smaller floats, higher volatility, a history of pops and sell-offs, or any combination of the three. Runup traders might find this one to be fruitful, especially for a lower […]

This is a vote on a Reverse Split. However, there was going to a be a vote on increasing the share count (ie a Shelf offering), but that was withdrawn according to the attached article. While a Reverse Split is generally considered a bad thing, once the stock has preformed the Reverse Split, a lot […]

This is a meeting about converting debt into new debt. Event traders would be focused on this, but since it is such a low float, institutions positioning before the vote could create a little runup opportunity. Runup traders would want to monitor the 1 hour Williams %R and MACD, to ensure that the wider market […]

This is more of a "Fireside Chat" according to the PR, but it singles out one company and gives them a platform to discuss their positive developments with a new crowd of folks. The Runup crew who like to play the rumors and sell the news might not find a trade here, since there is […]

The data being presented is Phase 1/2 data, which is very pre-liminary, which in this case is a good thing. Catalyst traders love when "rumors" can take over the psychology of traders. And positive Phase 1/2 data is certainly a rumor-fueler. It isn't efficacy or even really safety, which means the company and traders alike […]

Full list of presenting companies: WTS, TREX, NOVT, ATKR, AZEK, WERN, KMT, AZZ, PWR, NATI, SRCL, TTC, MYRG, AVY This event is not on our top-catalyst ideas list, as the audience is very specifically already investing in the companies presenting. Therefor, the event is more or a reassuring measure for current investors than a call […]

Generally speaking, Advisory Committee Meetings are Rumor Fuelers. The AdCom digests data and makes a recommendation to the FDA, but the FDA makes a final decision and can certainly go against what the Ad Com suggests. Therefor, "Runup" traders can have a lot of fun with the period before the Ad Com, but also the […]

Share Lockup Expiration Dates can be very volatile.  A lot of people have a misconception that because more shares can be added to the float, it is a bearish event.  That is not necessarily true, and as a matter of fact, there have been some major runs each month before, on, or shortly after the […]
