I am still waiting for the “UGLY” as the Pacman algorithms are getting hungry looking at the appreciation in many cell and gene therapy equities
Pre-open indications: 9 Negative Indications and 1 Puff/Pump/Promote
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.
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 8:00 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 -1.38% or (-423 points), S&P futures are DOWN -1.31% (-50 points) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -0.97% (-114 points) early in the pre-open – so far,
Stock futures are falling on Thursday, be prepared for a negative open,
European stocks were trading lower,
Asia Pacific stocks were mostly mixed as Hong Kong, Australia slipped
Henry’omics:
Indexes tumbled after a key inflation report showed that US consumer prices continued to surge in June. The Dow closed DOWN -208.54 points (-0.67%); the S&P closed DOWN -17 points (-0.45%) while the Nasdaq closed DOWN -17.15 points (-0.15%)
Economic Data Docket: the June producer price index and weekly jobless claims.

· BSTG seems to have the ONLY avenue to finance to utilize non-U.S. Chinese investors?

· WATCH and be ready for a BIG reverse of shares to enable offering from multiple private placements as it tries to facilitate an offering with Newbridge Securities
The BOTTOM LINE: I try to keep it simple … and short!
Traction is a response to be oversold and a chance to revisit the position; the algorithms are lusting for the appreciation
A post “pop-up” sector session would turn recent buys into clear losses, with the sector heading back into new lows once again.
I remain cautious, “markets, like the economy, are in flux. The major indexes could go back to lows or rebound to test or even surpass the 10-week line again. They also could move sideways in a choppy fashion for an extended period. That would let the markets get more clarity on the economy and Fed rate hikes, while more bases could form. But in the short run, stocks could be very choppy, luring investors in and shaking them out. <IBD>
Be prepared, earnings or LPS (loss-per-share) sessions are on their way and many companies will be just as glad to get them out as fast-as-possible to re-set ANY trajectory in August for September.”
There is VALUE out there however, it’s about playing or betting the timing of the sector.
We are left with choosing to hang on to “our” portfolio position as it is a given that the sector shifts from fierce, sudden sell-offs to gaining altitude or ascending not to its value but, better than it was.
