HART: Going back up so soon?Harvard Apparatus Regentive Technology is a bioscience company working on more natural heart valve replacements and other pretty cool biotech stuff. However my interest is because the way they are ramping up for another go after moving from $0.60 to $3.25 in less than a month. This is shaping up to be your typical "head and shoulders" scenario. HART's 1day MACD only crossed into negative on 12/7, giving the appearance that they are ready to fall back down. However it bounced at the 50% mark ($1.90) and StochRSI is already showing a cross upward.
What makes it really interesting is if you check out the 4hour or 2 hour you can see the MACD already coming back to positive. (see bottom image)
The markets are rough given the fear of a rate hike along with some 'cooling off' given the build up of overheating from past 2-3 years. However, at such a low price HART could be a worthwhile option play at a $5 strike a few months out. The option route would allow a relatively low bet--I need to look at the chain but I'm guessing as little as $20 a contract---with a short-term opportunity if the 2hr/4hr MACDs stay positive and bring the 1 day up; and a medium term opportunity if the indicators and the stock can't handle the bear market---HART has enough room and volatility to pay off later as well.
Even at $2.35 a share it's a good, cheap play.

Johnson & Johnson vs USDJohnson & Johnson has seen extreme price consolidation since last November. Since they are a highly diversified healthcare company, currency translations affect their bottom line quite substantially. With the recent contraction of the US Dollar, Johnson & Johnson has broken out of a prolonged trading range. If the dollar continues to contract against other foreign currencies, Johnson & Johnson will make better on their hedges and increase the bottom line substantially, thus increasing free cash flow and overall economic opportunity.
ROSG Looking for a CatalystWith the new pressure on Bio's upon us I wanted to take a look at a stock I have long liked and especially like at this level. With new patents and a bunch of new drugs in the pipeline it will happen quickly and suddenly. The chart shows great strength as it has held up when others have fallen and I look for a move over the next month to 4.66. All it needs is a catalyst, what that will be I don't know but a Bio like this one has so much potential upside that buying it here should be illegal.
