SVNT still has a little room to grow short term. Awaiting FDA approval around the final day of July. Just dipped nicely yesterday for swingers, recovered some today.
I'm looking for a nice climb or gap to about $18 - $20 upon approval by Aug 1st or so, by the FDA.
You've been reading my mind lately or something, pertaining to your thread title.
There was a pr a few weeks ago on yahoo that mentioned 10 stocks directly up our alley.

HGSI * $3.40 - Phase 3 Lupus news to be released early Monday. Analysts say that positive results could shoot the stock to over $15. Shaping up to move like DNDN did back in March after their prostate cancer drug, PROVENGE, had positive P3 results. DNDN ran from $2.60 to $23 today.
The following is a list of 5 FDA decisions with bullish options sentiment.
To create the list, we started with a universe of biotech stocks that have FDA decisions scheduled over the next month. We then narrowed down the list to focus on the top 5 stocks in terms of the Put/Call ratio (based on open options positions).
In other words, all of these stocks have large call option open interest relative to put option open interest, i.e. more bullish options sentiment, ahead of these FDA decisions.
FDA calendar data sourced from RTT News, options data sourced from Schaeffer's.
1. Ista Pharmaceuticals Inc (ISTA): FDA action on once-daily XiDay as a treatment for ocular inflammation and pain following cataract surgery scheduled for October 16. Call open interest at 360 contracts vs. put open interest at 26 contracts (Put/Call ratio at 0.07). ISTA expects sales from its Xibrom franchise, including XiDay, to be in the range of $95 million to $105 million.
2. Alexza Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALXA): FDA decision on AZ-004 for the rapid treatment of agitation in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder scheduled for October 11. Call open interest at 8,855 contracts vs. put open interest at 2,158 contracts (Put/Call ratio at 0.24). AZ-004 sales could reach $272 million by 2015, according to Piper Jaffray analyst Edward Tenthoff.
3. BIODEL INC (BIOD): FDA decision on VIAject for treatment of diabetes scheduled for October 30. Call open interest at 2,321 contracts vs. put open interest at 684 contracts (Put/Call ratio at 0.29).
4. Alkermes, Inc. (ALKS): FDA decision on Vivitrol for additional indication as a treatment of opioid dependence scheduled for October 12. Call open interest at 15,997 contracts vs. put open interest at 6,770 contracts (Put/Call ratio at 0.42). The drug is already approved in the U.S. and Russia for the treatment of alcohol dependence.
5. VIVUS INC (VVUS): FDA decision on Qnexa for the treatment of obesity scheduled for October 28. Call open interest at 87,655 contracts vs. put open interest at 42,128 contracts (Put/Call ratio at 0.48). Sales could peak $1.16 billion by 2015, according to Jefferies & Co. analyst.

BIOD only one interesting me right now in that list. Today, Call/Put ratio is about even. Share price has dropped about $2 in last 2-3 weeks; Currently sitting at 4.15. ((FDA decision on VIAject for treatment of diabetes scheduled for October 30))

I have never had much luck with the biotech's.
Hope this one is different.
GERN is an interesting play, big company in the stem cells at a reasonable price, but we will have to see how the stem cells go.
This one could go hard in either direction in a hurry with their trials going on now.
Don't think it's a play for the weak hearted.
