There are plenty of reasons why this growing biotech company should be on your watchlist including an $18.70 price target! |
The biotech space is anticipated for a big rebound this year and one company that looks well-positioned to stand out is BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: BSEM). In the last year, the company’s share price has moved from around $1 to over $9.
It’s evident that Wall Street is paying attention to this biotech company’s game-changing offerings for the global wound care market. The company is making waves for its focus on harnessing elements of perinatal tissue derived from the human placenta for manufacturing structural tissue allografts to heal wounds. The market for improved wound care products is growing exponentially. In terms of revenue, the global wound care market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $20.8 billion in 2022 and is poised to reach $27.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2022 to 2027.
It wasn’t that long ago that Zack’s Small Cap Research had increased its price target on the stock given the explosive Q3 earnings that were reported and recently reiterated that the company may be undervalued! Zack’s has increased its price target on BioStem Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: BSEM) to $18.70! The price increase comes shortly after the company released some preliminary and unaudited numbers that showed net revenue for 4Q2023 of $11.5 million, well ahead of Zack’s estimates and a more than 1300% increase from the year ago period! For the year, the company also showed preliminary net revenue of $16.7 million, which would be more than a 140% increase over 2022. The official release and the full financials, according to the company, will be released in March.
See how the evidence is pointing to BioStem being one of the most exciting biotech companies underfollowed on Wall Street! **Note: we have been compensated for this advertisement

Tech Tantrum Shakes Up the Market |
Trendsters, the market wasn't feeling the tech vibes today. A disappointing earnings report from semiconductor giant ASML sent shockwaves through the sector, dragging down heavyweights like Nvidia and fueling concerns about the upcoming earnings season. The result? The S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their losing streak for a fourth day, hitting their lowest points in nearly two months. Here's where the major benchmarks ended: - The S&P 500 index lost 29.20 points (0.6%) to 5,022.21; the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 45.66 points (0.1%) to 37,753.31; the Nasdaq Composite dropped 181.88 points (1.2%) to 15,683.37.
-
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) decreased more than 7 basis points to 4.585%.
- The Cboe Volatility Index® (VIX) fell 0.20 to 18.20.
ASML's slump helped send the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) down 3.3% to its lowest level since late February. Transportation shares were also under pressure after trucking company J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) dropped 8.1% in the wake of disappointing quarterly numbers. Energy shares slipped as WTI Crude Oil (/CL) futures fell 3% to a three-week low.
It wasn't just tech feeling the heat. Insurer Travelers took a tumble after its quarterly numbers failed to impress, adding to the downbeat mood. Bucking the trend, treasury yields dipped, perhaps signaling a dash for safe havens amidst the market turbulence. So, what does this all mean for you, Trendsters? Let's break it down: - Eyes on the Chips: Keep a close watch on Taiwan Semiconductor's earnings report tomorrow. A strong showing could ease some jitters about the sector, while another disappointment might add fuel to the sell-off fire.
-
Earnings Outlook: This tech stumble raises a question mark over overall first-quarter earnings. With tech often setting the pace, a weak season could put the broader market under pressure.
- Shifting Winds?: The dip in treasury yields could hint at investors seeking shelter from the storm. While not a full-blown flight to safety, it suggests a hint of caution might be creeping back in.
In this climate, prudence is paramount. Investors may consider seeking shelter in sectors less exposed to the current tech tempest or eyeing entry points in undervalued assets. With volatility at the helm, a disciplined approach, focusing on long-term value and diversification, could be the compass to steer through these choppy market waters. |

When the Market Got Hormones |
Ever wonder why we use animal metaphors to describe the stock market? Bullish, bearish, even terms like "hawk" and "dove". Let's be honest, the market's more like a moody teenager than a zoo. One day it's surging with optimism, the next it's throwing a tantrum over a bad earnings report.
Speaking of tantrums, those chip stocks have been acting up lately. One company misses expectations and suddenly the whole sector is in a grumpy mood. Reminds me of when my neighbor's kid throws a fit and the entire block can hear the screaming. Guess those tech earnings are like the stock market's report card – better hope for straight A's or there might be some allowance restrictions coming. |

JNJ - Bargain Hunting in the Healthcare Aisle |
Johnson & Johnson, a staple of medicine cabinets everywhere, seems to be offering a healthy discount on its stock right now. After hitting our recent sell target, JNJ is flirting with the bottom of a major downward trend, looking a bit bruised but not broken.
Now, don't expect an instant rebound. The technicals suggest this bottoming process could take a bit of time. But hey, if patience is a virtue, this might be the perfect time to start stocking up for the long haul.
That oversold RSI is practically screaming "buy me!" – a signal we haven't seen in over four years. And considering the historical pattern of this downtrend, we could be looking at a potential rebound that mirrors the January high, sweetening the deal even further.
Think of it like this: JNJ is the reliable brand-name product that's suddenly on sale. Might be time to fill your cart while the price is right! |

A Silicon Valley Insider and former #1 stock picker in America just released this SHOCKING footage from outside the Tesla Gigafactory, in Austin, Texas. |
And it reveals Elon Musk's “A.I. 2.0.” If you’ve been seeing all the news about A.I. but haven’t heard of A.I. 2.0 yet… It’s not your fault. Wall Street and Silicon Valley are hiding this from you and taking all the profits for themselves. But every American citizen deserves to see what Elon is doing… Because Musk himself confirmed that this new project will outgrow Tesla when he said “[A.I. 2.0] has the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business”

When Bad News is…Kinda Good
|
The market turned grumpy on Wednesday, and those beloved tech stocks sure took a beating. But a little drama never hurt anyone, right? This shift in mood is actually a positive sign if you're watching the long game.
See, those stubbornly high investor optimism readings? They're finally starting to crack. The call/put ratio is flashing caution signals, and market commentators who normally wouldn't give a second glance to transportation stocks are suddenly acting like they invented the sector.
This is classic contrarian territory. Market corrections don't materialize amidst sunshine and rainbows. They need that hesitant, slightly pessimistic energy – the kind that makes people start muttering about taking some cash off the table.
Don't get too down, though. Watch those bonds – that bounce might be a hint of things to come. Sentiment indicators are tanking fast, and today's AAII and NAAIM reports will probably confirm that wary feeling. Oversold conditions like these often pave the way for a short-term rebound.
Bottom line: market grumbles create buying opportunities. So, while the headlines might be a downer, consider this a chance to snag stocks at more attractive prices before they inevitably head back up. |

He warns that the chip sector, especially AI-linked stocks, face a make-or-break earnings season. Plus, with IT sector valuations reaching early-2000 levels, profit-taking looms. Looking Deeper Liz Ann Sonders and Kevin Gordon from Schwab point out the "stealthy" shifts in sector leadership currently underway– it's worth reading up on those!

MARKET MUSINGS & TIME CAPSULE |
Random Musings
Ever notice how "oversold" doesn't always mean a stock bounces back quickly? Kind of like those "50% off" sales where the price was suspiciously jacked up two weeks ago.
Market corrections often feel like bad news, but they're like spring cleaning for your portfolio - clear out the stuff that's not performing and make room for promising new finds.
Analysts can be fickle creatures. One day they're raving about a stock, the next it's the dog of the Dow. Reminds me of that one friend who always changes their favorite band… Market sentiment shifts make me wonder: Is there a stock market equivalent of the weather vane? Something that points reliably to the direction of investor emotion... It's fascinating how bonds sometimes move independently of stocks. It's like your conservative aunt who never seems affected by the crazy family drama. On this day in history, April 18 April 18, 1775: Paul Revere makes his famous midnight ride, warning colonial militia about the approach of the British. Sometimes, being ahead of the curve is a major advantage for both patriots and investors.
April 18, 1853: The first commercial passenger railway line in India opens. A testament to innovation unlocking economic potential – a parallel to groundbreaking companies disrupting markets today.
April 18, 1906: The San Francisco earthquake and fire wreak havoc. Underscores the importance of diversification and risk management – even the most solid-looking investments can be shaken by unforeseen events.
April 18, 1930: The BBC news declares "There is no news" and plays piano music instead. Let this be a reminder that even in a fast-paced market – there are occasional moments to pause and reassess.
April 18, 1955: Physicist Albert Einstein dies. A poignant reminder that even the greatest minds and market geniuses are finite – long-term investing is a legacy play. |

It's Not Over 'Til It's Over
|
As legendary baseball manager Casey Stengel once quipped, "The game isn't over until it's over." And the same goes for the market. These down days might feel a bit grim, but remember – corrections are part of the cycle. Think of it like a rollercoaster – you can't enjoy the thrilling highs without a few stomach-dropping dips. So, while the market throws us some curveballs, don't panic. Keep your eye on the long-term, look for those promising dips to buy, and remember, sometimes the best investment strategy is a healthy dose of patience. Until next time Trendsters, stay sharp and remember, a savvy investor welcomes a little market drama – it's what keeps things interesting! |
