Healthcare
BMY short term 10 days profit!Similar upward pattern found in past. Health care is booming for last couple weeks, which confirms this is indeed a industry trend. BMY should reach at least up to $57 in 10 days but not sure what will happen after. Moving Average Convergence Divergence looks pretty solid. Buy now $55 and sell at $57 make $2 per share in 10 days.
For my man vDr78-- a look at TEVA pharmaHeres a stab at fibs for TEVA. unfortunately, i can't give you a target entry because it looks as if the company has been selling off all year, with the exception of a couple of pullbacks. Healthcare industry is risky atm! If I had to go in, it would be after a move upwards to the bottom rectangle. That's how I tend to chart at least. Be careful!
Possible double top @ 0.02415/10/5 minute charts show double top @ 0.024.
Going to hold this one but could be an indicator that we are going down.
Biotech (IBB) - trade of the yearIBB is at multi-year cross roads. Ideal for straddles / strangles. A dropping RSI points to a weekly downtrend.
Both trade ideas are plotted. From a fundamental perspective, I believe @realdonaldtrump is right, biotech is getting away with murder. I get one of my meds from overseas because it's 1/182 the cost. Yes, you read it right. It costs me $1 there and $182 here for 10 pills.
North America has one of the most affordable:
1. housing, 2. food, 3. cars, 4. Gas, 5. tech, 6. Financial Markets anywhere in the world. But what is charged for healthcare is OUTRAGEOUS. An open heart surgery done in India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia costs $50,000 including business class airfare and 5 star accommodations ($20,000 is surgery cost) . In USA it is $250,000.
This is a topic that Dems and Republicans are aligned on, it's very important for the most powerful country in the world to have affordable health care and thereby provide capability for it's citizens to live a happy meaningful life.
Reducing healthcare costs should also increase profits for S&P by about 10% within the next 3 years as it's one of the major expense for any company.
Long term potential (1-3 months)Haven't posted on here in a bit but wanted to share my thoughts and most recent investment in $RNVA.
I bought into RNVA on Tuesday at 0.083 per share for a little over 12k shares. I heard about the company through the penny stock subreddit and did some DD and decided to make an investment into it.
My thoughts are as follows- Contrary to what Stocktwits believed yesterday, this is not a stock to get rich quick from. Many people have the pipe dream of this stock becoming the next $DRYS or $ETRM. Most likely not gonna happen but I would not complain if it did.
The company is facing an impending reverse split if it cannot maintain $1+ a share by March for 10 days.
The first thing I'm watching for is for us to reach $1 a share. If we can do that within the next few months and stay above it for 10 days the reverse split will be pushed back or not necessarily entirely.
RNVA appears to have the motivation to see it reach $1 a share and to avoid an R/S, however at the end of the day it may not come near $1. In the event that it doesn't and a R/S occurs the stock soars to the company price target of $18.5 a share.
Just some thoughts
In it for the long haul
Health Care down big after Trump press conferenceFound support @ 55-EMA, but negative sentiment has us Bearish
Johnson&Johnson seen lower in the coming weeksThere is no real change in the dominant bear trend, as prices pressure $110.00.
Stochastics and sentiment continue to weaken, highlighting further downside risks into the coming weeks.
In tandem, Healthcare is also weakening and, along with JNJ, further underperformance relative to the SP500 Index is highlighted.

MYGN Earnings Oversold PlayMYGN took a beating after it's guidance underwhelm last quarter.
I do believe that the reaction was overdone.
MYGN has healthy revenue streams and growing drug and generics demand.

Asterias Biotherapeutics, Inc. triangle breakout Yesterday AST closed its session gapping up and breaking an upward triangle which might become a strong bullish opportunity. Although general downward motion is still intact, double bottom which was formed at the beginning of July and triangle breakout have every chance to finish with bearish mood.
We would project the price to go up and reach at least $3.60 where it might stumble upon a gap resistance and trade down.

Short $HTBX Irrational HypeOh., how great... management bought some stock at $0.75 and they took back a public offering. The stock climbed and has momentum, but why? The company is still producing revenues of $0 and ops are getting more expensive. Earnings keep getting more negative, don't expect anything good to come out of their reporting coming up in August. Short at ~1.15 this morning and exit back at the 50-day moving average of $0.70-0.-75 in a few days. NASDAQ:HTBX
Ligand Pharmaceuticals best choise in the Biopharma IndustryFundamentals :
Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on developing and acquiring technologies that help pharmaceutical companies discover and develop medicines worldwide. Ligand Pharmaceuticals has a compelling business model that offers higher than average return with lower than average risk.
Ligand's P/E of 8 is cheap as I mentioned. Forward P/E is indeed higher compared to the industry but I think it is still in range. Even if it is expensive, I think it is justified given the high return to equity that Ligand has generated in 2015. And as a growth stock, Ligand's growth comes at a cheaper price compared to the industry as represented by PE/G. So, do I think Ligand's a buy at this level? I think so
