JPMorgan Chase CEO Comments
“We haven’t announced it yet, we’re going to be doing a thing with one of these peer-to-peer, small-business lenders,” Dimon said Tuesday in a panel discussion in Washington. “The kind of stuff we don’t want to do or can’t do, but there’s somebody else who can do it and do it probably well. So this is going to be collaborative.”
“Some of this peer-to-peer stuff will end up being good; it won’t all be good,” Dimon said. “You can use big data, all this other data, non-traditional data, could determine whether someone is a good credit or not.” Bloomberg

Taking a further look back on the daily chart we can see that ONDK has been on an overall decline dating back to March 24th when it traded at $23.47. The next possible resistance level for this move up would be $13.50. ONDK has a low float of 20.10 million shares and was trading 12 times the normal daily trading volume. ONDK did reach pre market highs of $12.90, but gave back $0.45 at the open, or equivalent to 3%. For trading purposes, my entry point would have been $12.50 looking for a run up to $13. My stop loss would have been $12.40, fearing anything below that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
