How did Aussie investors perform last week?
Congrats to these Top10 mooers who performed well last week in the Global Paper Trading Challenge!
The top-performing user from last week continued to lead the market this week, still employing an event-driven strategy that he is proficient in. This involved short-selling highly elastic small-cap stocks with weak fundamentals at high levels. Several of his transactions benefited from this approach. For instance, on October 30, the trader conducted ten consecutive trades on $Tharimmune (THAR.US)$ , a stock that surged by up to 209% on the day, reaching a high of $6.28. The trader decisively chose to continuously short the stock in tranches within the range of $5.65 to $2.18, earning over $20,000.
The rise in the stock was mainly due to the company stating it had received "positive feedback" from the European Medicines Agency regarding TH104, their candidate for treating moderate-to-severe pruritus in primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). The market often reacts swiftly to significant information, necessitating traders to make immediate decisions upon the release of such news. This may mean having a trading plan pre-set to execute quickly when the information is released. While event-driven strategies primarily rely on fundamental analysis, incorporating technical analysis can help better seize the timing for buying or selling. For example, chart pattern recognition, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators can assist in making judgments.
In addition to reverse short selling, one can also operate positively, utilizing high volatility for low buying and high selling. As one trader did with $Universal Security Instruments (UUU.US)$ , he bought continuously from October 29 to 30 and sold at the peak on the 31st. The stock experienced significant volatility last week, as the company announced that the safety product manufacturer based in Owings Mills, Md., had agreed to sell substantially all of its assets to privately held Feit Electric for $6 million. Universal stated it plans to seek shareholder approval for a subsequent liquidation and dissolution, adding that it expects its investors will receive a distribution of about $2.51 per share, more than 70% above the closing price of $1.45 on Wednesday.
During the privatization process, public shareholders' shares are typically acquired at a premium above the current market price. For investors who hold these stocks in advance, privatization offers an opportunity to sell their shares at a higher price, thus realizing capital appreciation. Companies with a high proportion of major shareholder holdings, especially those undervalued with stock prices far below their intrinsic value, are more likely to become targets for privatization.
