Small Pharma Big Backers and Partners - LONG SNG (Synairgen)Prudent Drug Discovery Company Low market cap ( appox £13m at time of writing ). Issues shares very rarely ( last placing nearly four years ago ). Has material interest in its work from larger partners ( Pharmaxis ). Sold interest in LOXL2 programme for £5m to Pharmaxis in December. Pharmaxis continues to fund and develop LOXL2 inhibitors and Synairgen retains interest across all fibrotic indications at circa 17% of all partnering proceeds. Potential of drug appears across multiple uses now ( not just lung-related ) and indications from Pharmaxis looking very good. Recent interviews from Pharmaxis management suggest a good chance of a deal with major pharma in H2. Low free float in the stock ( 60% in hands of major shareholders ). Major funds holding ( Woodford Investment Management and Lansdowne Partners ). High profile investors holding stakes ( Richard Griffiths and Leonard Licht ). These high profile investors have been raising, rather than reducing their stakes in the company, periodically. For a risky smallcap biotech stock it appears well placed to survive and thrive, regardless of the short term success of a sale/licencing deal of LOXL2 by Pharmaxis, making it considerably less risky than most biotech stocks in the long term. However, the indications and noises being made about LOXL2 by Pharmaxis are looking as positive as you could hope for, and backed up by them putting their money where their mouth is in the first place and increasing their stake for cash.

Teva is now a buyAfter a couple of years where price has persistently followed the downtrend, last week Teva broke up such dynamic hreshold. Price has confirmed such trendline with a hammer 3 days ago at 17.04 dollars. Moreover we have the cross on the daily pattern between MA 50 and MA 200 turning to bullish set-up. Q1 earnings has been released beating expectations. SAR is positive and supertrend recently turned into bullish conformation as well. Trump is due to talk about drug prices this week but I don't deem Teva will be harshly impacted, because of the type of business. On a daily basis the hammer of three days ago confirmed by two green candles bear witness to a short term reversal. TP around 21.50/21.80

MYL a buy opportunityAfter the breach of the multiyears downtrend prices have jumped till 47.68 dollars. We have seen a retracement according to the uptrend in progress. The price level around 39-40 is a stong support where a long can be setup. SL can be put a bit lower just underneath the MA 200 at 38 dollars. MA 200 is still under MA 50 and MACD is crossing over for a bullish setup. On top of that, price has reacted promptly after the NASDAQ sell off the day before yesterday.

Shaping the Future - an analysis on GWPHGood Afternoon and welcome to an analysis on GWPH. Looking at the chart we can see that GWPH broke through the support line on 2/22 and is now testing it as the current Major Resistance line. We have fallen to the Major Support line on 3/2 and bounced back up to touch the resistance line again. We almost looked as though we were going to break into the resistance line however all indicators show we are heading back down, at least for the short time. Looking at the DMI the +DM and the -DM touched briefly on 3/9 but then like a magnet split away from each other. The ADX is still above a 25 (barely), but nevertheless it is still above the signal line showing we are in a strong trend, and that current trend has been bearish. Plus the RSI hit my projected downward line and turned to head back south helping to confirm we indeed could drop further. The MACD is relatively flat and has turned up but it is still below out signal line as well. From the looks of the chart at the moment we could definitely head back down to touch the support line again. A good entry point would be between $109 and $111 with placing a stop loss just below the support line to minimize loss. Since Sep. of 2016 we have been in a trading range from roughly $95 - $140. Currently we are on the lower end of that spectrum. My personal opinion, with more doors opening for the legalization of marijuana in different states in the US and in other countries, I believe this GWPH is a good long hold. They have an A+ team, and I believe they will shape the future of cannabis-based therapeutics. Happy Trading :) Much Love DustyPH *all comments are welcome* ***This information is not a recommendation to buy or sell***

VRX toward the first TPVRX yesterday has reached the first TP around 24.3/24.5 according to what happened some years ago. I expect some resistence here. if such hurdle will be step over, I expect another resistence at 26/27. This because some investors will take profit from the rally began in November: From 11 dollars to 19 (the neckline) 8 dollars of difference. 8+19= 27. Third TP is around 32/33 dollars. In the meantime Valeant will present at JP Morgan healthcare conference on the 10 jan, whilst fresch data on bussiness activity will be rolled out on 22 of febraury.

Finding the upcoming support zone and the right time to sell/buyAcadia Pharmaceuticals has shown a downward swing during the past 2 business days or so. Before that it was on a very big run, which on my opinion was due to the high demand and the low buy/sell price. It will soon find support around the 32.67 up to the 38 zone (see the purple channel) based on the past downswing which i just stated. In the very near future it will also go on an run as big as the last one or maybe a little slower, but it will fall out again. In my opinion it would be better to buy soon, sell some when it breaks the channel and then sell more when it reaches the climax of the channel.

Teva strong resistence at 19.33, yet not a buyDespite the recent company's efforts to reduce its debit, from a technical point of view, I would be neutral with Teva until we will see a cross-over between slow 200d and fast 50d moving average on a daily chart pattern. For those who are aggressives MACD is still positive but keep in mind the resistence at 19.33 first and 20 after. Exhaustion gap betweeen 16 and 18 has been filled. Personally I see such movement as a prize for what the new CEO has done to reduce the impact of debit in short and mid term. Still 2018 will be critical to conferm that what has been undertaken is going toward in the right direction.

VRX imminent attack to 18 dollarsVRX after the correction largly expected, yesterday as demostrated a strong bullish counterattack closing the session slightly less than the short entry recovering mostly 100%. The pattern therefore shows clearly the uptrend line in place. Investors are considering a Q4 better than Q3 looking for new confirmation about debit reduction, so I expect price will move up, breaking down the barrier set at 18 dollars. In case of confirmation this would be a strong signal as Valeant is gaining back attention and potential turn around. Still there is a long way to go through, but what is important right now to highlight is that the trend has been confirmed.
