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 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 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 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 However, there was going to a be a vote on increasing the share count (ie a Shelf offering), but that was withdrawn according to the attached article.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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

This event seems a little out of place.  If it is just a general presentation on information that educated investors would already know then it's much ado about nothing.  But if they are highlighting their pipeline because the market is undervaluing their company (in their opinions) then the management being particularly confident could inspire volume. […]

This is a HUGE event for small cap Chinese stocks. Even companies that have no earthly businesses making more money on Singles Day can see sudden volume surges as traders try to find the next big runner. In past years, many small cap Chinese companies have seen major moves. Ticker symbols can change often in […]

A reverse split is, generally, a negative situation.  It means that the company is probably struggling to be in compliance, or the company has been  watching their stock price drop and wants to reset in a sense, at a higher price, and try to start building value again.  When a stock goes through a reverse […]

This is a boring event that is not likely to be a catalyst for many, but IMMP has incredibly high implied volatility (as of 10-24) and is worth monitoring.  If not for this event, then for some other catalyst.  Options traders have bet on a big move in the coming month or two.

This is a meeting to approve a previously announced merger between to Stealth Biotherapeutics affiliated companies.  It is unknown if this is of any importance, but worth seeing if the runup period has volatility.  If so, it would be worth doing some research about the implications of the merge.

An Advisory Committee Meeting is an interesting one.  On the one hand, it is an EVENT, that will definitely make traders speculate in the weeks prior.  So the Runup Crew, who like to "buy the rumor and sell the news," will want to monitor the technicals, volume, and price action during the coveted runup period.  […]

This is a chance for small cap companies to present in front of industry insiders, investors, potential new customers and medical professionals.  The event is one of many each year, so the Runup Traders might not have as much of a rumor-period then many other catalysts we cover.  However, if a Runup Traders (who buys […]

This meeting is being held to vote on a Reverse Split, then to increase the number of shares (ie an offering), and to increase the number of shares in their incentive program.  The first two votes are the consequential ones.  They need the Reverse split to regain compliance, and in the same vote are hoping […]
