Sorry to hear you were a victim Dew. You advised me a last June that PRTA (Prothena) had run up due to Aduhelm's approval at BIIB (Biogen) and I responded that it did not seem a reasonable reaction to me. I sold calls from $40 on up and eventually sold PRTA shares from $47 to $55 plus additional calls which expired worthless. Today restrictions on Aduhelm reimbursement by Medicare and other insurers has brought BIIB's stock down below where it was before the original approval.

The shock to BIIB has resonated with LLY and even more with PRTA which is down 16% now. Again, I cannot see that the residual effect should be that significant. Consequently I have today purchased back nearly 1/4 of the shares I sold in December.
