WHAT IS LIGHT IN THE BOX? Over a month ago it had a big up 25% sort of day. That took the price to $3.45 Now we are at $2.68 up 9%. I feel like we may of touched on this stk once already... it's some type of cheap online place. Wow 2013 til now....LightInTheBox Holding Co., Ltd.(NYSE:LITB) shareholders will doubtless be very grateful to see the share price up 71% in the last quarter. But that doesn't change the fact that the returns over the last five years have been less than pleasing. You would have done a lot better buying an index fund, since the stock has dropped 45% in that half decade. National Institutes of Health Launches its ACTIV-5 "Big Effect Trial" Evaluating Humanigen’s Lenzilumab™ as Potential COVID-19 Therapy Business Wire•October 13, 2020 National Institutes of Health Launches its ACTIV-5 "Big Effect Trial" Evaluating Humanigen’s Lenzilumab™ as Potential COVID-19 Therapy Lenzilumab among the promising agents selected for ACTIV program from pool of approximately 400 candidate agents (Nasdaq: HGEN)("Humanigen"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on preventing and treating an immune hyper-response called ‘cytokine storm’ with its lead drug candidate lenzilumab™, today announced that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH),launchedits ACTIV-5 "Big Effect Trial" (ACTIV-5/BET), designed to determine whether certain approved therapies or investigational drugs in late-stage clinical development show promise against COVID-19 and, therefore, merit advancement into larger clinical trials. ACTIV-5/BET, which will enroll at as many as 40 US sites, will evaluate lenzilumab with remdesivir, compared to placebo and remdesivir, in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with approximately 100 patients assigned to each study arm. Humanigen is providing lenzilumab for the study, which is fully funded by NIH. >> The problem here folks is that HGEN's product which does look good! Is being studied with Remdesiver which just got some bad pub as not working in Covid & failing to prevent death..... It's a shame they are not testing lenzilumab by itself.... there must be a reason.
Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NTLA) NasdaqGM - NasdaqGM Real Time Price. Currency in USD Add to watchlist Visitors trend2W10W9M 26.11+1.86 (+7.67%)<----- Hummmm I thought biotech was down on Fri. At close: October 16 4:00PM EDT 1.8 mil shares... NTLA is looking like a flat out Buy.....
There is a confusing aspect about NTLA that kept me away a year ago-- one of it's founders is a genius but she is now working with a private lab with a lot of hype and they will come public one day! This year’s Nobel Prize for chemistry was awarded Wednesday to the two discoverers of Crispr/Cas9, a defense mechanism in bacteria that’s become the basis for gene-editing treatments for inherited illnesses like sickle-cell anemia. Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna <--- This is the importantname for NTLA) first proposedthe idea of gene editing in 2012. The technology revolutionized biological research and led to the launch of a new generation of medical ventures, including Crispr Therapeutics(ticker: CRSP)—co-founded by Charpentier—as well as Caribou Biosciences, Mammoth Biosciences, and Scribe Therapeutics—all co-founded by Doudna. <-- Ok take that in... She is so smart she has founded 3 bios! Other public companies using Crispr-based techniques include Editas Medicine(EDIT),Intellia Therapeutics(NTLA), andBeam Therapeutics(BEAM). In early trading Wednesday, the gene-editing stocks were all up about 6% each, lifting Crispr Therapeutics to $93, Editas to $30.39, and Intellia to $22.20. Beam was up 5%, to $28.65. NTLA is now $26 from $22. Doudna now works at the University of California, Berkeley. Just on Tuesday, her privately held Scribe Therapeutics announced a partnership with Biogen(BIIB) that could bring Scribe over $400 million if they succeed in developing treatments for neurological diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the progressive disorder that’s often called Lou Gehrig’s disease. Charpentier is at the Max Planck Institute in Berlin. The firm she advises, Crispr Therapeutics, is furthest along among companies bringing gene-editing to the clinic. In Phase 1 trials, it has begun treating people who suffer from sickle cell. So far, the treatments have freed those folks from the disease’s awful symptoms. So the whole who owns what patents it could get messy it is hard to understand... if we could private finance our way into Scribe Therapeutics in a round of funding that would be the best move!
There's a lot of game theory in both politics and stock picking. So when the opportunity to stack the supreme court with the current nominee came about one had to think what could be the downside of such a rush to judgement. The first thing that I thought when I heard the news was I wonder if that's smart by Trump. He usually does stupid things. If I am a real conservative, if I am a real evangelical person or if I am a real Republican who cares about fiscal responsibility I have to ask myself-- what more do I need from this guy? I can stay at home The judge is a stay at home card. Her appointment de emphasizes the need to vote. The supreme court seat would of been handled smarter if dangled like a cherry to these folks... elect me and I will fill the vacant seat. Politically it would of been smarter to say in R Ginsberg's memory the seat shall remain vacant till after the election. Then both sides would stand on long lines. Remember election night you heard that first here--
I'm thinking about nominating a Board Of Directors at gummybear to keep me in check. So Willy Nelson I'm thinking should chair and should be the first one considered. So if you look at the 1 day of EOG waaaaaay to the right there is this little blip up. There is also a lot of volume. Lets take a look at what EOG has and then think of others-- EOG Resources, Inc.’s EOG stock appears to be a solid bet now, based on strong fundamentals and compelling business prospects. It has witnessed five and four upward estimate revisions for 2020 and 2021 earnings, respectively, in the past 60 days.">EOG Resources, Inc.’s Headquartered in Houston, TX, EOG Resources is primarily involved in exploring and producing oil and natural gas. This leading upstream energy player’s operations are located in the United States and abroad. It employs technologies like horizontal drilling and advanced completion techniques to maximize production from wells. The company has recorded an earnings growth rate of 10.3% in the past five years, outperforming the industry’s 0.4% growth. This momentum is likely to continue, as indicated by EOG Resources’ projected earnings per share growth of 8.4% for the next five years. - ADVERTISEMENT - FEEL LIKE A GUMMY? - gummybearadvisors will sooth you- Growth Drivers The upstream energy player has an attractive growth profile, huge inventory of drilling opportunities, upper quartile returns and a disciplined management team. The company has significant acreages in oil shale plays like Permian, Bakken and Eagle Ford. Most importantly, EOG Resources is among the leading players in the Bakken play and the largest in the Eagle Ford. The upstream player’s extensive reach to these key shale resources will likely support long-term production growth.<-- I thought Shale was dead. Hummmmm In the promising shale plays, EOG Resources has identified 10,500 undrilled premium wells that could provide access to 10.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent estimated potential reserves. In the Eagle Ford alone, the company identified 1,900 undrilled premium locations with 3.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent of estimated potential reserves. The company’s balance sheet is significantly less levered than the composite stocks belonging to the industry. In fact, its debt-to-capitalization ratio has consistently been lower than the industry over the past five years. Notably, the company’s cash balance of $2,416.5 million is more than sufficient to pay the current debt of only $21.1 million. It had a long-term debt of $5,703.1 million at second quarter-end. The company also has a strong focus on lowering well costs. From $8.5 million in well costs in the Eagle Ford shale play in 2013, the company expects expenses to drastically fall to $5.3 million in 2020. Its lower operating costs — comprising lease operating, transportation and general and administrative expenses — have been providing support to margins and returns. Other Stocks to Consider Other top-ranked players in the energy space include Equinor ASA (EQNR), Apache Corporation (APA), and Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (COG), Cabot Oil & Gas upgraded to Buy from Hold at Tudor Pickering 09/24 COG Tudor Pickering analyst Matthew Portillo upgraded Cabot Oil & Gas to Buy from Hold with a $22 price target. $19 now. APACHE Wow it's only $9!!! Whoooooo. Oh how the might have fallen. Geeze I might own this somewhere... WTF-$92M put sale in Apache tied to 10M share delta hedge 09/14 APA $92M put sale in Apache tied to 10M share delta hedge. Trader on the BOX floor sold 190k Oct 23rd 11.5 puts for $1.16 a moment ago, against a delta hedge of 10,405,000 shares at $11.61. Block size is 4x the total put open interest in the name, and appears set to expire just before earnings are expected late next month. Apache upgraded to Overweight from Equalweight at Capital One 09/11 APA Capital One upgraded Apache to Overweight from Equalweight with a $16 price target citing the recent pullback in shares and Suriname block potential. Price targets are $16- $21 various analysts Folks.. Me thinks me found me new play-- APA
Apache? What's their logo? If it's an Indian, I mean Native American, they got big problems. Ever look at Toyota's logo btw? I noticed this the other day stuck in traffic. Every letter of "Toyota" is in there. The T, the O, the Y, the O again, the T again, the A is a bit of a reach I guess. They should have taken a little piece out of the bottom part of that inner oval. Its good though. Clever. Pop a gummy, you'll see it. I had to do like Toyota when I made my little avatar thing here and get all my letters in there. VAN. The V was easy, see the A(?).. its upside down. Appropriate, but I had to cross it and still make it look cool... hmmm. How? Got it, make the V a prism and then use a beam of white light and break it into its many colorful components. See that's deep stoney. A guiding tenet of GBA research; take it all in and break it down into its components. Now, point the V at the N in Zandt... done. So back to APA. Politically, you're kinda saying two things here. On one hand you want clean water and clean air with the Biden thing, but you're diggin on a fossil fuel company that blasts dirty water through shale-beds to recover billions and billions of barrels of oil. Trump stock. Your buddy cramer always says he won't invest in tobacco stocks. You even said something about that one vaping company. I say trade em all and let society decide. If they're bad, short em. Maybe APA's a short. I wouldn't read too much into that big option trade. I don't think. The cat's just hedging his book. I need more dd on that one. It trades 9mm a day though. They report earnings on election day?! That might be a bad sign. Just looking at the charts it appears to mirror the dow oil and gas exploration index. Of course that doesn't mean it can't break out individually. I dunno stoney. There's a reason its so cheap. They all are. It takes a lot move an elephant. I rate it 2 gummies down for now. Greener pastures elsewhere. Pun intended. See what Willie thinks.
