Some cell and gene therapy sector equities might be flashing buy signals, but in a shaky and sinking market

Pre-open Indication: downside equity NEGATIVITY!

A daily report may say little or a lot and its final judgement may be inconclusive; yet it serves as insurance that all indications are being examined, evaluated and reported.

I write this blog/newsletter to inform investors with facts and supporting numbers focused on what they need to hear that others won’t say or write about - truth!

The Christmas holiday is starting for me with a limited review for the week, the 8:00 a.m. 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 -0.15% or (-52 points), S&P futures are DOWN -0.12% or (-4 point) and NASDAQ futures are DOWN -0.12% or (-13 points) early in the pre-open – so far,

Stock futures are slipping in early trading on Thursday,

European markets are marginally higher,

Asia-Pacific markets traded higher

We need to understand the macro to comprehend the micro re “our” universe of cell and gene therapy companies …

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

I am passing on any Positive or Negative indications – “Let ‘em ride”!

Although I foretell … some downside equity NEGATIVITY!

 

The BOTTOM LINE: I try to keep it simple and short!

Many cell and gene therapy equities experience a boost after being oversold; however, whether they'll hold and rebound is largely dependent on the overall market and IF support levels stay or even fall into place.

·         Monday closed negative with 4 incliner, 30 decliners and 1 flat

·         Friday closed negative with 16 incliner, 19 decliners and 0 flats

·         The previous Thursday closed negative with 6 incliner, 28 decliners and 1 flat
