Healthcare

Long in NVO Established There are several aspects to this chart- the wave analysis is certainly up for debate, but what remains is improving fundamentals. On this chart we have a corrective sequence ABC starting in 2014 and concluding in early 2017. On this chart, we can see the 30 day MA volume skyrockets in the beginning of 2017. This corresponds to the timing of the Obama administration focusing their healthcare attacks on big pharma, specifically drug pricing. We can even see a faint busted head and shoulders on this chart, with the right shoulder being broken by terrible guidance on earnings At the peak in 2015, we also see a peak in operating profit margin. Over the next 12 month fundamentals began to draw back with book value/share, liquidity ratios, and margins all slowly declining. As Obamacare got pushed through US congress (where over 50% of revenue is earned), the outlook looked bleak. Then the Man who lives above the Guchi Store was elected, and big pharma saw hope on the horizon and began surging higher. This was a false bull market though; margins and liquidity ratios were not improving for NVO. Then the surprise happened, President Trump began attacking pharma. Combined with the already volatile stock market NVO plunged to a correction right at the .618 fibonnaci level, if it maintains this as the low a perfect sign that the 2 impulse wave has just completed. Where we stand now: Novo Nordisk, one of the largest pill pushers was forced to lower outlooks with increasing competition from generics. With this pressure, the company has been forced to cut many US jobs and refocus R&D spending, rendering some patents and research useless. Over the last few years they've been forced to impair assets for use on their income statement, but NVO still maintains a 2.29 P/Tangible Book ratio, (better than peers: GSK, BMY, LLY). Gross margins have begun improving and P/S has landed at one of the lowest, if not the lowest level in the peer group. Improvement on the liquidity measures could send this stock flying, but most importantly is the deadlock that could ensue in congress. Recently one of the up-and-coming generics plunged as the FDA put a hold on their diabetes drug trial. I took a long position in NVO on 11/27 and plan on holding this until I either get stopped out at 44 or we rally to previous highs

BLRX-BREAKOUT-UPDATEBLRX had a strong rally today and it's just getting started. In the related idea my price target was $1.34. Today's high was $1.78 Check out the weekly chart: Photo Finish. $1.34 was 1.618 extension level from Waves 1 & 2. Since the price-action broke $1.34 we will have an extended 3rd wave. I expect a very strong rally tomorrow, I will update in the morning before the open to confirm. Target is hard to predict since its impossible to know what level extending waves will terminate. I will keep a close eye on the price-action. Will update. -AB

ANAB - "ANAB-tomy" Of A Winning Long Trade?Sorry for the stuffy nose! Nonetheless, here I talk about qualities of a trade that help determine it as a winner. This is just a short version of what to look for, just to give some of the things to consider in the process. As a general statement, there are 2 things that make up a stock: technical factors (price behavior) & fundamental factors (financial statement info). Fundamentals are important for longterm investments where company growth & strength are important, since over time, more people will get interested and buy the stock in the future for further price appreciation (5-10+ years for a solid investment). Simple fundamentals just looks at company profits and how much cash the company has access to, but for a detailed fundamental analysis, the company will need to be known and understood on a very high level as if the investor is one of he founders of the company. Before the investment is made, you must know almost everything about how goods/services reach the consumer/customer. For a trader, correct technical analysis is most important (everyone can do technical analysis, but it takes time to do it in a more realistic fashion without dreaming too much or trying too hard to predict a specific future price action). The more factors that favor your objective to buy the stock, whether as a trade or investment, the more likely you will win from the trade. Here is the list from the video: 1. Technical favor -Price accumulation: price usually builds up slowly before exploding upward in an uptrend, with only few/small price corrections in the trend (it is hard to see this early but it is typically only obvious late AFTER the trend has started) -Volatility contraction-expansion: I talk about this all the time I'll skip it; it is very important to always look for though -Price eagerness to increase: when price keeps trying to push upward to newer levels, this tells that at least there are also other people who see the stock going higher and are willing to put their money on the line for it -Supportive base: the price action should show you that the price has no interest in testing lower levels, which means there are no aggressive sellers, investors or other traders are not selling off and there is a positive sentiment toward the stock -Industry/Sector performance: this was not included in the video, but it usually gives you a great technical context especially when you are diversifying or trying to pick a home run stock (it's still very difficult to pick one though) 2. Fundamental favor (if considering longterm investing) -EPS growth past 3-5yrs (should mirror revenue/net income): this tells you the company's plan to grow/expand and make profit in the process is working, and hence the company is still appealing to old and newer investors -Free cash flow: I didn't explain this well in the video, but I meant to say that a good cash flow means the company has cash on hand aside from other assets to be able to pay off any debt or sudden expenses today if the need arises (this is a very simplified version just to give you an idea) Let's see what ANAB can do! Looking forward to comments or PM discussions.
