The Idea For Today is from Israel. Up 12% yesterday. - Kamada. To make a long story short. I went through the Post earnings CC Q&A and I remember thinking Ok this is a decent story-- plasma therapy-- but there was no control group and the survival numbers were not jumping off the page. I'll get you these fact... It was something like 7 recoveries without the drug and ten with... Mortality rate was down.- By three! Yesterday whispers from israel : Three patients given Kamada 'passive vaccine' recover from COVID, J Post says 16:22 KMDA The first three patients treated with a new COVID-19 "passive vaccine" developed by Kamada, have recovered from COVID-19 symptoms and been released from the hospital, according to co-developer Hadassah Medical Center, reported The Jerusalem Post So The Question is did they get lucky and have their " 3 " recoveries all at once sequentially... or is there something else going on here-- and the key difference may be that these patients are receiving a mixed plasma with other people's not just their own... One of the Analysts who I read his questions in the Q&A came back today with this-- Kamada price target raised to $11 from $7 at Chardan 06:52 KMDA Chardan analyst Keay Nakae raised the firm's price target on Kamada to $11 from $7 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after the company reported Q2 results and "multiple" stories were published in the Israeli press highlighting the initial positive response observed in the first three patients who were given the company's convalescent plasma-derived hyperimmune globulin product as a potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2 disease. The potential of this product, which takes the concept of convalescent plasma therapy "a step further" by pooling plasma from several donors, drives the price target increase, Nakae tells investors.<----- ---> It has been quite some time since I had the #1 Top Gainer on the Nasdaq--- Several of my clients are very very happy and keep sending me emails-- the trouble is With My Money I SOLD IT!

QDEL)--$ 250. Expensive for a reason. Thermo Fisher tried to buy (as they always do) but the shareholders said No! Quidel price target raised to $363 from $306 at Craig-Hallum 07/31 QDEL Craig-Hallum analyst Alexander Nowak raised the firm's price target on Quidel to $363 from $306 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares following the company's quarterly results. The analyst notes that the Q2 call demonstrated the massive demand for Quidel's COVID tests and the positive effect it is having on margins and profitability. I like QDEL. Going to have to sell something to get it! And the vicious cycle continues...

Hubspot works out of Cambridge USA... is that Boston? I think that's the smart part of Boston... I went to BU on the other side of the Charles River. Hubspot does some kind of software that helps small businesses. (don't they all). Usual volume 580K yesterday traded over 1 mil.... Lousy Earnings- HubSpot(NYSE:HUBS) reported Q2 sales of $203.61 million. Earnings fell to a loss of $13.62 million, resulting in a 3.38% decrease from last quarter. HubSpot collected $198.97 million in revenue during Q1, but reported earnings showed a $14.10 million loss. HubSpot Tools for customer relationship management (or CRM) are extremely valuable for any size business, but they can be crucial for small businesses. It's hard to keep track of inbound contacts and orders with tools built for large companies, as with salesforce.com, so HubSpot has become a go-to option for smaller companies. The ability to scale up the offerings as a company grows and to add services like email marketing and customer service for existing customers also keeps growing a business owner's reliance on the HubSpot platform. You can see below that it's driven tremendous growth and high profit margins as well. The next step for HubSpot is translating growth into earnings, which software companies like this do as they reach scale and their customer base matures. And when earnings begin to improve, this could be a stock that is a great value because of the long-term relationship it has with small-business customers. HubSpot-$$275 NYSE:HUBS
