With the sector being whipsawed again – very few ups or and more than many downs
Pre-open indications: 1 Puff/Pump/Promote and 5 Watch-Out-Below (doesn’t say SELL into further Losses)
RMi outlines a daily bell ringing 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.
Who is defining the metrics for investors and keeping you notified of the sector and market fluctuations? What I provide is a trusted source of share pricing intelligence – it’s more than opinion, I deal in the facts and numbers that back them up.
The 7:30 A.M., ET edition
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 -0.56% (-177 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.91% (-36 points) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -1.46% (-175 points) early in the pre-open – so far,
Stock futures are lower and falling in pre-market trading on Tuesday morning,
European stocks also dropped in almost all sectors as major bourses slid into the red,
Asia-Pacific stocks declined led by China with Japan and South Korea.
Henry’omics:
The major stock indexes posted solid gains Monday. Monday's action was a step in the right direction following last week's heavy selling, but it wasn't enough to switch the market status back into a confirmed uptrend. <IBD>
Today’s downside moves came a day after indexes staged a rebound from last week’s market sell-off, which saw the Dow hit its first eight-week losing streak since 1923, and the S&P 500 briefly fall into bear market territory on an intra-day basis.
Even though the underlying uptrend remains intact, it's time to play defense and maintain a cautious stance after heavy selling last week.

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide ideas and context: INDICATIONS

WARNING: Earnings reported a VERY SAD picture of a company’s status without U.S investors and reliance on non-U.S. Chinese investors. Another PPM -private placement – this one for $5.1 M without a price per share notification. Also, the terminal death lawsuit just got settled (4/28) for $6 M with a PPM – a preferred convertible debt financing. is it the ONLY avenue to finance utilizing non-U.S. Chinese investors?
.
The BOTTOM LINE: I am not always right but, more than frequently not wrong … I just DO NOT trust this market … too much fear and panic. This continuing state of volatility confirms fears that I have been expressing in these daily and weekly posts.
Again, as have I written (repeatedly), “There's a battle in the cell and gene therapy sector between which or what breaks first: share pricing resilience or tumbling into yet another downturn as fear remains beneath the strength of any positive close” …
I have NOT seen ANY step-up of declining company investment by ANY CEOs and their management teams – WHY NOT?
I try to keep it simple … and short!
I caution investors that the severe share pricing’s – technical and fundamental damage has been suffered these past several months which will take longer than a few good sessions to repair.
