Trending Stock ASTS Stock Price Technical Analysis:

An a agreement with SpaceX, say what! This is big news and I like the stock! It is a trending stock!

Caveat, I feel like it is over bought today so I would wait for a pull back and consolidation before I would purchase!

Once again my name is Alex and I’m so glad you took the time to read this far. I would love to have you be apart of our growing family of traders.

I always like giving tid bits of knowledge that I have learned from my mentors, so here goes. As a reminder to all of the traders out there to leave your emotions at the door and never, ever, try to catch a falling safe. Simply let it crash to the ground and then, walk over and pick up the money. That is a reference to bounce plays LOL.

For instance, trending stock ASTS should pullback very soon, don’t try to catch it at the “perfect” moment and get caught in the fall. Simply wait until it “crashes” to the ground, meaning, a confirmed bottom and reversal. Then you buy it, if you want.

3 STOCKS, 3 Stories and 3 Takeaways: ISPC, ASTR & PRVB!

3 STOCKS, 3 Stories and 3 Takeaways: ISPC, ASTR & PRVB!

Nov 23, 2021

A tale of three stocks, a tale as old as time: ISPC, ASTR & PRVB

Company Snapshot

Company Name: iSpecimen

Ticker: ISPC

Exchange: NASDAQ

Website: www.ispecimen.com

Industry  Medical

Company Summary:

iSpecimen offers an online marketplace for human biospecimens, connecting life scientists in commercial and non-profit organizations with healthcare providers that have access to patients and specimens needed for medical discovery. Proprietary, cloud-based technology enables scientists to intuitively search for specimens and patients across a federated partner network of hospitals, labs, biobanks, blood centers, and other healthcare organizations. 

Why did it go up over 100%?

iSpecimen announced yesterday that it has been contracted to support new advanced research on COVID-19 seeking insights on its transmissibility, variants, outcomes, and testing validity among multiple population segments. In the last ten months, the company has partnered with multiple research and health care organizations on a range of diverse projects requiring a variety of COVID-19 samples, including nasal swabs, saliva, and blood products.

1 Day Chart 

Technical Analysis

There was a mad rush to buy this stock after the news that iSpecimen had been contracted to support new advanced research on COVID-19 seeking insights on its transmissibility, variants, outcomes, and testing validity among multiple population segments. Anything related to Covid is going crazy simply because it has impacted our lives so significantly that we are overly interested in solutions to this worldwide pandemic. 

So, my technical analysis of this Covid stock is, it was overbought hence the pull back after the premarket buy up. The correction was significant at $11.64 to an intraday low of $8.12 accounting for a 30% retrace. It broke out of the bullish trend at the end of the day, but it could be a head fake. Be careful and make sure to get a solid confirmation before thinking about this purchase. 

Company Snapshot

Company Name: Astra Space, Inc.

Ticker: ASTR

Exchange: NASDAQ

Website: www.astra.com 

Company Summary:

Astra’s mission is to improve life on Earth from space by creating a healthier and more connected planet.

Astra completed its first commercial orbital launch in November 2021, making it one of the fastest U.S. company in history to reach this milestone. Astra is based in Alameda, California, and was founded in 2016. 

Why did it go up over 50%?

Astra Space successfully completed its first commercial orbital launch for the United States Space Force late Friday night, November 19, 2021, PST. The launch, STP-27AD2, was conducted from Astra’s Kodiak Spaceport, located at the Pacific Spaceport Complex in Kodiak, Alaska.

Technical Analysis

Again, this is a very popular subject since Tesla, Elon Musk and Space X became the talk of the world after reaching space! So, what does the market do upon the big news, they buy this stock up in a mad frenzy in response. Our advice is the same as iSpecimen, wait for a solid confirmation of a breakout. We are looking for a consolidation and a breakout, keep an eye on it!

Company Snapshot

Company Name: Provention Bio

Ticker: PRVB

In preliminary meeting comments, the FDA approved the Company proceeding to populate the popPK model with data collected from patients receiving therapeutic doses of teplizumab in a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) substudy of the ongoing PROTECT Phase 3 trial in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients (Commercial Product N~30 patients, Clinical Drug Product N~130 patients).

1 Day Chart 

Technical Analysis

We think this is a reasonable market reaction to the news, it wasn’t over-purchased, it was just right! Now of course, reactions work in both directions, up and down. So even though it was a proper spike, why did it pull back, human reaction! It spikes and starts retracing and the market gets afraid. 

Summary on ISPC, ASTRA & PRVB

3 stories and three takeaways! A tale of three stocks, a tale that has been told since the inception of the stock exchanges. 

  1. Takeaway 1: What goes up (fast) must go down  – premarket huge spikes are normally a dangerous play. If you really like the stock, wait, let it pull back from the over buying and make an extra 10-50% by being patient!
  2. Takeaway 2: Traders normally over react – in a world where the all mighty dollar is the true definition of happiness and success, combined with our optimistic nature, breads an environment for the “get rich fast” idea. We all want desperately to “hit it big” that’s why Vegas is what it is. 
  3. Takeaway 3: Carefully curated news properly placed creates a massive amount of interest specially when written properly.

Happy trading and REMEMBER, never try to catch a falling safe! Let it crash to the ground and walk over and pick up the money!

Thai Airways (TAWNF) Stock Moves Back to 25 Cents: Now What?

Thai Airways (TAWNF) Stock Moves Back to 25 Cents: Now What?

Jun 9, 2021

The coronavirus pandemic had come as a wrecking ball for many businesses across the world and one of those was the airline industry. However, with rising vaccination numbers, the dangers are easing and COVID 19 restrictions are being eased.

In this situation, many airlines might see their stocks performing better and one airline stock that could be watched at this point is that of Thai Airways. Due to the pandemic, the stock had suffered from massive loss in business and eventually, it had to get financing from the Thai Government in order to remain afloat.

The Thai Government is now looking to loosen restrictions as vaccination figures rise. Experts believe that as and when restrictions are completely out of the way, Thai Airways (OTCMKTS:TAWNF) might see a considerable improvement in its financial performance.

At this point, the stock is quite popular among investors, if Google Trends data is anything to go by. In 2021, the Thai Airways stock has been searched more times than some of the leading investment related websites. At the end of 2021, Thai Airways operated a large number of routes to as many as 58 destinations spread over 30 nations.

On the other hand, it is also necessary to note that at this point the Thai Government has a 50% stake in Thai Airways. This is an indication that the company is not going to go out of business despite the difficulties that it has suffered from the COVID 19 restrictions.

Moreover, it might also be argued that the government might also have a strategic interest in the airline. In other words, the government would want the company to do well. It is expected that the number of flights being operated by Thai Airways is going to rise steadily through the course of the year. In that sort of a situation, it is perhaps understandable why there is rising interest in Thai Airways stock.

Thai Airways International (TAWNF) Stock Makes An Interesting Move: What Next?

Thai Airways International (TAWNF) Stock Makes An Interesting Move: What Next?

May 17, 2021

As another trading week begins, investors are almost certainly going to take a look at stock that might have recorded significant gains last week and by that logic, the Thai Airways International Plc (OTCMKTS:TAWNF) stock might be one of the stocks to follow.

Over the course of the past week, the Thai Airways stock went on a highly impressive rally and managed to clock gains of as much as 170%. In this regard, it might be worthwhile to take a look at a key development from last week. Thai Airways is currently exploring options to improve its financial situation.

This past Friday, the Thai Prime Minister dismissed reports that the country’s government is going to allocate 50 billion baht towards recapitalisation of the company. Earlier on reports had suggested that Thai Airways was going to turn into a state owned entity again with the government buying back its earlier majority stake in the airline.

However, the Prime Minister stated that the government is not going to be involved while the company is going through its process of debt rehabilitation. Additionally, he stated that no financial support is going to be provided by the government at this point of time.

That being said, he did not completely dismiss the possibility of getting involved. He stated that the government will decide on its plan of action after the debt rehabilitation plan has been implemented. Thai Airways had earlier been a state owned entity but in 2020, the Finance Ministry took its stake below 50% in order to make it easier for the airline to manage its debts.

Additionally, cabinet ministers in the Thai government had also stated that if the company was to become a state-owned enterprise again, then the airline would need to be injected with billions of bahts in the form of loans. This week the stock is expected to come into focus again and investors could do well to keep an eye on it.

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (OTCMKTS – KBLB) Stock Soars 38% On News Of Entry In Vietnam

Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc (OTCMKTS – KBLB) Stock Soars 38% On News Of Entry In Vietnam

May 12, 2019

Shares of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCMKTS:KBLB) were among the biggest penny stock gainers in Tuesday’s session. The stock jumped 39% to close at $0.34 after the company announced production expansion footprint in Vietnam.

Lansing, Michigan based biotechnology company, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, is primarily engaged in creating technology that could produce genetically engineered silk and over the past few years, the company has grown by leaps and bounds. However, as everyone knows, a company needs to keep expanding rapidly in such a niche sector and that is what they have done by Kraig Biocraft after they acquired a facility in Vietnam for a lease of 5 years. This is going to raise the company’s ability to produce more of its signature product. On the other hand, Biocraft has also announced that it has entered an arrangement with Polartec to supply this silk for usage in products that are meant for military use.

Big News: Entry in Vietnam

[thrive_leads id=’8276′]

The recombinant spider skills technology is Kraig Biocraft’s flagship product at this point of time and the company’s decision to expand its production capabilities by acquiring the plant in Vietnam seems to have been a wise decision. The facility in question is located in Quang Nam and is spread of an area of 50,000 square feet.

It will not only allow Biocraft to turbo charge its production of its signature proprietary spider silk product, but also help in keeping costs of production low. The company is currently the leading player in its line of business.

Polartec Deal

Merely increasing production is of not much use, if the products are not actually put to good use and to that end, Kraig Biocraft has entered into an arrangement with Polartec to jointly produce apparels and fabric that will use the recombinant spider silk that the former produces. The two companies have been engaged in joint efforts from as early as 2016 and at the time the spider silks was primarily used in producing military grade products.

However, the potential of Kraig Biocraft’s product when it comes to usage in traditional apparel is far more appealing. For instance, the fabric has the look of luxury and in addition to that, it is apparently far more breathable. In such a situation, it is not a surprise that this particular agreement between the two companies is being looked upon as a potential game changer. Polartec has been involved in fabric tech, apparel design and fabric science since 1981 and could prove to be the ideal partner for Kraig Biocraft.
