LABU Triple Leveraged Biotech Sector ETFOn the 4H Chart LABU is trending up since March 27th. Last week there was a small pullback which was met with more buying activity. On the volume indicator, the volume now is approximately 10X day by day compared with March's averages. It is this buying that is driving the bullish momentum. Small-cap speculative biotech companies are in a growth mode right now no matter adverse economic conditions for those yet to have any earnings. Big pharma is more concerned about federal attempts to further regulate prices than the economy. On the volume profile, price has ascended to above the high volume trading area on the strength of buyer interest propelling the momentum. Overall, this looks to be a decent long trade. The target is $ 9.00 the YTD high back in February.

APLT Biotech NASDAQ Penny LONGApplied Therapeutics is an uptrending biotechnology company that has earnings in prior quarters and is heading into another earnings report about may 11th. The run up in price cction is largely on the proposition of future growth much like TSLA back in the day. On the chart besides the obvious uptrend, the volume indicator shows a dramatic volume surge compared with the running 50 day average while the MACD shows the lines above the histogram and running upward and parallel. The ideal entry would be a pullback as the price is now quite extended however I do not believe that will occur until at least after earnings. I believe this strong runner will continue until earnings unabated. As a penny stock many shares can be taken and then the position can be closed in partials along the way thus taking profits and decreasing the risk in steps. The same applies to the call options.

PFE Large Cap Pharma increased its dividendPFE just raised its dividend On the chart it has been trending downward as shown also by a down sloping anchored VWAP bands. Price is currently sitting at long term support and two standard deviations below VWAP. It appears to be ready to reverse from the deep undervalued area. In confirmation, teh voume indicator shows moderate increased relative volume compared with March. I see this as a good opportunity to enter a swing long trade or investment. PFE has its increased dividend as a hint to shareholders of increasing earnings also with the next generation of COVID vaccines in the pipeline along with a diversified line of other products. The only thing that will slow PFE down in federal legislation to limit the retail MSRP prices of its products to all consumers including those with no insurance and commercial coverage outside federal programs. PFE is solid as a rock. I see the buy signal.

TNYA Biotechology Penny NASDAQ LONGTNYA has been in consolidation the past two days being in the flag of a bull flag pattern on the 1H chart. Earnings about six weeks ago were solid especially for a biotechnology stock which are generally priced based on future potential and not current performance. ( Fundamentally TNYA is in the gene splicing /slicing place which is perhaps the most lucrative and therapeutic of all of the various areas in the biotechnology realm. Seemingly, its potential is expodentially high. ) The zero lag MACD lines have crossed under the histogram which in general can be considered as a buy signal. The histogram has flipped to positive. Upside to the overhead resistance zone by the Luxalgo indicator is from an entry of about 5 to 6 or about 20%. Very recent high relative volume as compared with the 50 day moving average further supports a long trade at this time. The stop loss would be $.02 below the POC line of the volume profile. I will play this with options to further leverage the price action. Both options and stock are inexpensive for a small account.

MGRX Biotech Penny Stock Pullback for Continuation LONGMGRX with some FDA news catalyst got a lot of action on the last session of the week. With the pullback and overwhelming volume during the session, a continuation into the upcoming week is entirely reasonable. ( see also the link) MGRX had a last price of about $1.50 about a 50% retracement from the high of the day. I will take a position at market price in the pre-market opening the week. The target will be $2.25 or midway between the current price and the high of the last session. This will represent a 50% Return on Trading Position. I will set a stop loss at $ 1.40 representing a 10% loss. Price at present is sitting on a confluence of support of both the 20 and 50 HMAs along with the lowermost VWAP band. The reward for risk is 5X. MGRX does not have options. I expect the long trade to hit the continuation target in less than 5 days. I will set a buy-stop order to take a position when the price exceeds $ 1.55 with a stop loss of $0.15 to account for the expected volatility.

ACHV a Biotech company after earningsACHV on the 4H seems to be demonstrating a "High Bull Flag Pattern" after a big uptrend to start the year. Earnings on Thursday 3/16 were quite favorable.On the relative volume indicator Friday, May 17th showed a paradoxical huge selling volume spike to finish out this week. ( I mislabelled this as upcoming on the chart) Paradoxically, the last earnings report in November was poor but resulted in strong upward price action. The MACD histogram is at the zero line. Will ACHV resume the uptrend after earnings? Was the selling volume an institutional trader fake out to set up a lower price to buy call options? According to Tip Ranks, the analysts give ACHV a high rating with significant upside. See the link below Who knows but this may be worth watching for signs of buying volume and accumulation to fuel bullish momentum.

NVAX - Novavax Biotech Short or not?NVAX as seen on the weekly chart has been in price distress for a long time. It has only one product on the market due to various issues with the FDA process. It has a variety of products in development as linked below. The question is whether it will run out of cash before a sustained revenue stream develops. FDA approvals for the pipeline products could take years ( the days of emergency approvals for COVID and related are over) It would seem that a rich uncle like Moderna ( MRNA) would codcme around with a take-over offer that could send shares into a moonshot to back when NVAX thrived before its 95% price decline in the past two years. This seems to be a great short swing play until more products come to market or a take-over is announced. This is affirmed by the MACD histogram being persistently negative for the long-term.

PLSE Earnings Play Long Biotech Pulse Biosciences broke out today from a positive earnings report. Biotechnology stocks often burn cash on a slow growth cycle. This company is making money and so the expected reaction occurred. The volume indicator shows selling pressure in the lead-up to today's earnings. After the report, the reversal to buying pressure occurred nearly immediately. The MACD lines crossed under the histogram and then quickly reached the horizontal zero line serving as a confirmation. I expect a good follow-through next week. This may be a great penny stock to trade or even invest.

BZYR: Potential long term investment - with riskI've become interested in BZYR which trades only OTC at this time. Why is this OTC stock of high importance for long term investors? In order to set this out my post is broken into various parts: 1 - Introduction 2 - The historical battles 3 - Efficacy of a cancer treatment 4 - Summary 5 - The risk to reward for long term investors. The above cannot possibly avoid referring to organisations and materials in the public domain - as matters of fact and truth before the courts. Introduction: The founder has discovered a treatment for cancers that cannot be treated by conventional treatments, that is better than anything out there at this time. The research has been in the public domain for the last 30-odd years. The discovery is called Antineoplastons - which is a combination of various peptides and other 'chemicals'. Historical battles: The research evidence for efficacy has not been faulted. The FDA (in the public domain) took the founder through 4 grand juries. The case failed at the Texas State Supreme Court, in an attempt to remove the founder's medical licence. The whole story runs very deep back to the 1980s - but despite strenous efforts to shut down the treatment (and the founder), it persists to this day, through the endless legal battles. Staying within the 'House Rules' means that I am cautious not to breach. In 1982 the FDA stated " never have and never will approve a new drug to an individual but only to a large pharmaceutical firm with unlimited finances ." Therefrom sprung one of the most severe fights in FDA history. dealings with the FDA commenced in 1983 at that point the FDA commenced a civil action to try to close the clinic and stop all patients from receiving the medicine before the judge in this case. Before the judge in the 1983 court case had announced her ruling the FDA sends her a letter warning her in advance " if this court declines to grant the injunction sought by the government thus permitting continued manufacture and distribution of antineoplastons the government would then be obliged to pursue other less efficient remedies such as actions for seizure and condemnation of the drugs or criminal prosecution of individuals. " Efficacy of cancer treatment with Antineoplastons: Mainstream cancer research organisations will say " There is not enough reliable evidence to use it as a cancer treatment " or that the treatment is ' experimental '. But this is not true. If there has been an experiment, it was fully under the watch of the FDA, and the results are beyond belief for success. Double-blind randomised controlled trials in Japan have proved the superior efficacy of the treatment (which is not 100% but far better than what exists). Summary Antineoplaston treatment has weathered all battles for over 30 years. It's not going away. It's survival suggests something novel and unique has been discovered. Why is this treatment surviving at all? Why all the battles against it? Those are matters for you to ponder. The risk to reward for long term investors: The weeky chart will show that BZYR (an OTC stock) is near rock bottom and possibly in an accummulation phase. Note carefully that OTC stocks are not on conventional exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ. The potential growth over a 5 year period could be significant in relation to a fixed risk of loss which should be an affordable one, if more research confirms it's specific kind of efficacy. This could be the next 'Amazon' of the biomedical world. As always I emphasise the risk - and I am unable to provide tips on how to manage that. Disclaimers apply.
