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.
