Biotechs
Biotechs are on fire! Gossamer and upcoming event! Biotechnology is the favorite sector of one of our analysts, most of his portfolio consists of biotechs, and he himself claims that it is the cryptocurrency of the common stock market.
Why? Let's explain :
High risk/reward and high volatility.
Imagine this: you invest in a company that has no revenue or any specific product, yet you believe in the idea it promotes. You're taking giant risks because it's far from clear what to expect.
But for that you get a great opportunity to make a quick buck. In biotech, soaring by 20%, 30%, or even 100% is the absolute norm. But you have to approach it carefully, because if you fail, the reaction can be devastating.
Here is an example of successful investment in biotech companies:
Axsome Therapeutics
Ranks: 48.
The company recently grew by more than 30% after successful results from a clinical trial of its drug to treat agitation in Alzheimer's disease.
Cool? Absolutely.
Our analysts have found another attractive company with a catalyst in the coming days!
Its name is Gossamer Bio.
Ranks: 11
Financials are really weak, the Ranks system also gives it a low rating, but the coming catalyst could immediately change everything. In the coming days, the company is expected to present the data of phase 2 of its core drug GB002. Take a closer look at the company!
Biotechs are scam or great potential
Bionano Genomics completes head shoulders and then up ?Bionano is a hyper-technological industry that operates at the level of the human genome.
It has developed a platform with an unprecedented ability to detect structural variations in DNA molecules, is active in research for the fight against cancer and other genetic diseases.
It presented excellent results days ago and now a category of big investors has started to direct its capital on it , typical feature in this period where many biotech and pharmaceutical companies seem to receive large inflows of capital ( see related ideas )
The advisor Marketmiracle tells us that thanks to the indicator Mmiracle Viewer decomposes the market to identify the positions on the securities of the various investors.
It generated an input signal on Bionano Genomics at a price of 7.16 usd with a target of 15.08 usd with a potential profit of 110 %.
From the fundamental point of view the company does not shine but it is a characteristic typical of all the companies that operate in the fields in which the investment in search is a necessary and determining part for the own business.
I checked the situation in the chart and it seems that the target can actually be reached after a short accumulation phase that could lead the title to the formation of a bullish head shoulders, the high volatility of the stock could then help to reach such an ambitious target.
Will Bionano Genomics succeed in its intent ? stay tuned....
This idea is based on the signal generated by the Marketmiracle advisor whose link you can find by scrolling at the bottom of this page.

$RUBY Doubles on Progress in Early-Stage Cancer-Drug TrialRubius Therapeutics Reports Initial Clinical Data from Ongoing Phase 1/2 Trial of RTX-240 in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors, Demonstrating Single-Agent Activity.
RTX-240 Generated Partial Responses in Metastatic Anal Cancer and Metastatic Uveal Melanoma Patients; No DLTs or Related Grade 3/4 Adverse Events
RTX-240 Promoted Trafficking of NK and T Cells into
Tumor Microenvironment
Initial Clinical Data Provide Evidence of Broad Potential of RED PLATFORM® Across Pipeline of Cancer and Autoimmune Programs
The initial data "demonstrate that RTX-240 has the potential to generate single-agent activity in patients with solid tumors, including a cold tumor such as metastatic uveal melanoma, where other treatments have failed to induce responses in patients," Christina Coughlin, an oncologist and immunologist who is chief medical officer at Rubius Therapeutics, said in a statement.
“The encouraging safety results, including a single event of Grade 1 liver toxicity, and preliminary efficacy data for RTX-240 to date give us the potential to realize the power of immune agonists for the treatment of cancer," Coughlin added.
The ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial of RTX-240 in patients with advanced solid tumors resulted in a 54% confirmed partial response rate in reducing the target lesions in a patient with metastatic anal cancer.
The adverse effects of the treatment included fatigue, chills, nausea, decreased appetite and arthralgia, which is pain in a joint.
Rubius is now planning a new Phase 1 study for the second half of 2021 to evaluate the combination of RTX-240 and another therapy.
It's also planning a Phase 2 expansion cohort for first-quarter 2022, according to its statement.

Seelos should report key data from its study of SLS-002 in the second quarter of this year.
Seelos also plans to advance SLS-005 into a pivotal phase 2b/3 clinical study targeting ALS in the first half of the year.

$ENTX Entera Bio Ltd Announces Positive Topline EB613 Phase 2Entera Bio Ltd Announces Positive Topline EB613 Phase 2 Biomarker Data
‒ Trial Met Primary Endpoint of Significant Increase in P1NP Based on Final Analysis of 3 Month Data
‒ Final Analysis of 6-Month Data, Including Change in Bone Mineral Density, Expected in Q2:21
‒ The trial’s primary endpoint was met - the complete 3-month results from the trial showed a significant increase in the P1NP biomarker in the 2.5 mg dose group after 3 months of treatment (P <0.04) as compared to placebo.
‒ Similar to the increase in P1NP, a significant increase in Osteocalcin was also observed in the 2.5 mg group after 3 months (P <0.01).
‒ In line with a potential anabolic effect, a significant decrease in CTX was observed after 3 months of treatment (P <0.015). The decrease in CTX taken together with the increase in P1NP and Osteocalcin would indicate a potential positive impact on BMDand a reduced risk of fractures, which is the goal of an anabolic osteoporosis treatment.
‒ Entera intends to submit the full dataset for publication and/or presentation at an upcoming medical conference.
