This penny stock $OBSV could skyrocket 100% in 2021The company’s lead drug candidate, linzagolix (branded as Yselty), is an orally administered GnRH receptor antagonist that has completed two Phase 3 studies, PRIMROSE 1 in the US and PRIMROSE 2 in both the US and Europe. The clinical trials enrolled 574 and 535 patients, respectively, and used doses of 100mg or 200mg to treat heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. The results from both studies were positive, supporting Linzagolix's favorable safety and efficacy profile. In an update announced last month, ObsEva reported that, pursuant to Phase 3 results, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) had validated for review the company's Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Yselty (100mg and 200mg). Potential MAA approval is anticipated in Q4:21. The drug is also slated to be the subject of a New Drug Application (NDA) that is due to be submitted to the FDA in Q2. Wedbush analyst Liana Moussatos said that Linzagolix has the potential to achieve best-in class oral GnRH receptor antagonist status based on a flexible dosing regimen either with or without the add-back hormone therapy (ABT)—a key differentiator from other GnRH receptor antagonists… Based on the positive PRIMROSE 1 and PRIMROSE 2 primary endpoint results for YSELTY®/UF and additional follow-up data, we project annual sales of more than $750 million in 2027 for Linzagolix/UF,” Moussatos opined. To this end, Moussatos rates OBSV a Buy along with a $28 price target. finance.yahoo.com

SDDGR: Selling Shovels During Gold RushWe are in the midst of a biotech boom. SDGR sits to profit greatly, selling cost/time saving software. They sell drug/material discovery software to biotechs and pharma companies. They also fully or jointly own some early stage/preclinical drug programs as well. Here are the investment highlights I believe are key. 1- Their physics based software makes new drug/material discovery cheaper/faster than traditional ways. This first step is the most costly/lengthy part in creating new drugs/materials. 2- They are a biotech in the respect that they are owners/co-owners of certain compounds in ongoing development/trails, giving them enormous upside. Joint ventures are as far as phase 2. 3- Strong balance sheet behind a secondary offering in August. Roughly 3.5 years worth of operating expenses in cash on the books. 4- Strong partnerships with big pharma such as Bristol-Meyers. Ongoing focus on research and development, putting 65% of revenue towards it. 5- Smart money is in on this. Bill/Melinda Gates foundation, billionaire investor David Shaw and his old life science hedge fund Deerfield along with another MP from Deerfield are all 10% owners. 6- Technically, it is also in a nice set up. It had been trading in a pretty tight channel before yesterdays' nonlogical sell off (no news). It has had a nice rebound today and I am expecting it to make a push back to that $97 resistance level. If it can break that, I think a move to the $130s is in store within the next 6 months

ENZC Elliot Wave ProjectionWave 1 is the start of a bullish trend, it is SUPER hard to catch, usually everyone is pessimistic on the stock and nobody believes the move that its making. Wave 2. where we currently are and possibly just finished.... usually has lower volume than wave 1, The price usually does NOT go below 0.618 fib retracement line (which we haven't) :), however sometimes but rarely it does.... The price usually falls in an ABC type of wave, which we currently saw last week. Phase 2 is where the shorts try to take over, the bears eat away at the ones scared to hold onto profits as we attempt to retest phase 1 lows. If you follow charts we ALWAYS retrace and test an old resistance like where we fail and drop harder, or buyers come in and we make the previous resistance a new support. wave 3 THE EXCITING WAVE!!!!!!!! Usually the most POWERFUL and largest wave in a trend. (some would argue wave 5 is, but not necessarily true... Wave 3 - the news is now POSITIVE and fundamental analysts start to raise earnings targets and estimates.... *prices rise quickly and corrections are short lived. Anyone looking to get in on a pullback will likely "miss the boat" Wave 3 OFTEN extends wave 1 by a target ratio of 1.618 aka the GOLDEN POCKET!

Jefferies $PRTA buy recommendation with price target of $6Why VistaGen Therapeutics Stock Soared yesterday The big jump came after Jefferies analyst Andrew Tsai initiated coverage on the stock with a buy recommendation. Tsai also set a one-year price target of $6, nearly three times the price of VistaGen's shares at the market close on Wednesday. Why bullish? Tsai really likes the potential for VistaGen's lead pipeline candidate PH94B . It's a nasal spray that VistaGen is evaluating in phase 2 studies targeting multiple neurological disorders. The company has already reported positive data from one of those studies, with PH94B showing promise in treating acute social anxiety disorder . There are still plenty of risks for PH94B and VistaGen's two other pipeline candidates. www.fool.com

Botanix Bullish Channel to Continue?Botanix Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:BOT) is a clinical stage cannabinoid therapeutics company. The company focus is the development of safe and effective topical treatments for serious skin conditions. It has an exclusive license to use a proprietary drug delivery system - Permetrex for direct skin delivery of active pharmaceuticals in all skin diseases. The company's product pipeline includes BTX1503 - Moderate to Severe Acne, BTX1308 - Plaque Psoriasis, BTX1204 - Atopic Dermatitis, and BTX 1701 - Mild Acne. Since posting my last idea on the 16th JAN, I thought since we are at another critical level to revisit the Idea and look at 3 posible forecasts. 1. Bullish - Respect Upward Channel - MACD weak and anticipating Bullish Cross - RSI Trending Bullish towards the 50.00 Level - TB Fib Extension level 1.618 aligning with upper band of Channel NOTE: price will need to see some Strong Volume and Bullish movement to break through the Ichimoku Cloud internal of the channel (could we be so lucky to receive an announcement worthy?) 2. Bullish off Daily Support (EQ) - If price is to break Uptrend Channel then a fall to Daily Equilibrium (Support) is likely. RSI is still below the Bullish 50.00 and MACD yet to cross Bullish. Price would also have to break through the Bearish ichimoku cloud that is identified. I think that lack of news and investment frustration could see price fall before a potential Double/Triple Bottom. 3. Bearish - Break of Upward Channel - Break of Daily Support - TB Fib Extension Targets aligning with key levels of Support - RSI would break uptrend - MACD would spread and continue Bearish NOTE: If price manages to fall below Daily Support then I would expect opportunistic buying at former levels of support before reversal. The "boys" holding this down are getting weaker and starting to sweat IMO GLTAH Disclosure: Held, Sentiment: Buy "DISCLAIMER: NO ADVICE.

BCRX may start an uptrendAfter a bit of correction and going down to sub $9 last week, buy side was more powerful Friday afternoon, and the SP climbed above $9.50... $10 is a first level resistance point, but once it is achieved, we can expect the SP to run towards $11.80... Support would be around $8.80 but considering the earnings was moved 2 weeks earlier (which may be a good sign), Factor D news, EU Orladeyo approval and upcoming Q1 earnings, the stock is believed to be in a positive momentum... My analysis are not investment advice. Always do your own DD and take your own decisions.

Jefferies upgraded $PRTA to buy from neutral-100% upside1. Jefferies upgraded the stock to buy from neutral expecting a 100% upside to the stock. Citing the ‘positive momentum and pipeline execution’ and rising investor attention, the analyst Michael Yee ups the price target to $30 from $15, nearly double its previous close. Prothena’s pipeline has significantly expanded and improved. The company’s early-stage candidates for Alzheimer’s disease ‘should start to garner more attention,’ Yee argues, projecting the three mid-to-late-stage assets to yield ‘a significant upside.’ Add more than $300M in cash and the partnerships with Bristol Myers and Roche, the stock ‘is primed to move up 100% towards $30+,’ concluded the analyst. Out of Prothena's two candidates, PRX012 and multi-immunogen vaccine, targeting the Alzheimer’s disease, the former is on track for an IND filing in Q1 2022, the company disclosed in the recent R & D update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
