In many cases, its just buy until fat and sell to profit, it’s not predictable investing for the short or near term until clinical data is able to be partnered

Pre-open indications: looking bleak with 1 Positive Indication 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.

I DEVOTE a HUGE amount of time to “reckoning” the geography of my coverage group - 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 -0.60% or (-206 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.81% (-35 points) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -0.96% (-130 points) early in the pre-open – so far,

 

Stock futures were lower and dropping Wednesday,

European markets pulled back,

Asia-Pacific markets were mixed

 

Henry’omics:

Last night, the Dow closed UP +239.57 points (+0.71%); the S&P closed UP +8.06 points (+0.19%) while the Nasdaq closed DOWN -25.50 points (-0.19%)

The stock market rally had a mixed Tuesday, with the major indexes backing off afternoon highs as the S&P 500 came within one point of its 200-day moving average. <IBD>

Economic Data Docket: U.S. retail sales data for the month of July at 8:30 a.m.

  • The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($647,200 or less) decreased to 5.45% last week from 5.47% the previous week. Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home dropped 1% for the week and were 18% lower than the same week one year ago.

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

Looking bleak …

Positive Indication:

BioLife Solutions (BLFS) closed down -$0.66 to $25.35 after Monday’s +$1.42, Friday’s +$0.99, Thursday’s -$0.57 and last Wednesday’s +$3.82 with a positive +$1.15 or +4.54% pre-open indication.

 

Puff/Pump and Promote: Maintaining SELL

Biostage (OTCQB: BSTG) closed flat again on Tuesday (with 1,824 shares traded) and Monday after Friday following Thursday and last Wednesday’s $0.00 <3 mo. Average = 935 shares>

·         Its BOD approved on 7/28 amending and restating their Certificate of Incorporation to affect a reverse split of the issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-1.25 and not greater than 1-for-5. What about all those PPM (private placements) as an offering follows?

·         BSTG seems to have the ONLY avenue to finance to utilize non-U.S. Chinese investors? Are we in favor of Beijing funding and continue to control BSTG in our own country? Another question, makes one wonder, Newbridge Securities?

·         How much lipstick is a lot on this pig with an almost 4-year-old IND and NO clinical trial initiation?

·         New CFO, number #7 for the chute?

·         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!

The sector had shown some signs of strength (Monday and Friday), traders are eyeing a green light to profit from some upside candidates, but keep positions … just strip percentage of holding.

There's still plenty of uncertainty for the stock market to navigate, so having a solid amount of cash on hand still makes sense.

As I have written, I devote a lot of time to the direction of the sector to “reckon” the geography of my coverage group.”

Especially, since I now (temporarily) tread slowly with a “walking stick” having over done it in yard work which as I have been told – NO more. I do love yard work.
