We can only hope for algorithmic for some oversold recognition; however, investors steer clear until sentiment turns hopefully after earnings’ cycle which begins 4/28 with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY)
The Biostage (BSTG) Chronicles: Question, is the company a Beijing, China “concubine” as to the pumping of the share price and volume? What would make a U.S. investor step-up with all the “inhibitors” to its public listing share pricing existence?
Pre-open indications: 5 BUY indications and 1 Pimp/Pump/Promote
RMi outlines a daily bell weather of “indications” about what you need to know; it’s what could happen or materialize after the opening and what might happen during the session.
Just the facts … I ask questions and note the indications of what could happen …
Remember that overnight and pre-open actions in futures don't necessarily translate into actual trading in the coming day’s session.
Dow futures are DOWN -0.01% (-3 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.07% (-3 points) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -0.14% (-20 points) early in the pre-open
Stock futures are slipping and barely jumping in Tuesday’s pre-market, expect a negative open,
European markets were lower after the long Easter weekend as the overlapping crises of the war in Ukraine, pandemic and inflation cloud the global economic outlook.
Asia-Pacific markets were mixed, as investors watched for market reaction to China’s central bank announcing financial support for Covid-hit sectors; Australia and Japan markets advanced.
Henry’omics:
Last night, Monday; the Dow closed DOWN -39.54 points (-0.11%); the S&P closed DOWN 0.90- points (-0.02%) while the Nasdaq closed DOWN -18.72 points (-0.14%).
The major indexes have been grinding lower as Q1 earnings season heats up. Today, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) will report its Q results.
JNJ reported mixed quarterly results, with its earnings per share topping earnings expectations while revenue missed analyst estimates. The pharmaceutical company also lowered its earnings guidance for 2022.
Just remember, the Fed’s moves have and next steps will cause high volatility in the bond market weighing on share pricing in coming weeks.
Economic Data Docket: housing market with housing starts and building permits for March.
Last night’s RegMed Investors’ (RMi) closing bell post: “Why the slide … More downside “correction” or as I say sentiment infection or rejection” … https://www.regmedinvestors.com/articles/12393

- WARNING: WHY BUY this equity with a 3-year-old IND, NO clinical trial initiation, a terminal death lawsuit overhang and a precarious financial position dependent on a possible cash infusion? Also, WHY the pump of the volume to gain share appreciation – they have to reverse the multiple private placements (the priciest was $4.71) for a potential/proposed stock offering.
The BOTTOM LINE: State the obvious, investors are NOT in control of daily market driven sector appreciation or downward dives.
I try to keep it simple … and short!
To expect a payday; volatility and low volume are part of the equation.
I am still, in the here and now, the cell and gene therapy sector will be fluttering; we are about to enter the earnings’ zone!
Earnings’ season is upon us as Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (ALNY) reports Thursday,4/28 followed so far by Sage Therapeutics (SAGE) on 5/3 and AxoGen (AXGN) on 5/4.
RMi’s daily report is a primer that may say little or a lot; yet it serves as insurance that all indications are being examined and evaluated.
