Cheapest Countries To Visit

It’s been three months of being cooped up at home and let me guess – you’re going crazy, so crazy you’re starting to have deep conversations with your cat. You caught yourself talking politics with your microwave the other day! Don’t worry, that will be our little secret! There are two crises going on during this pandemic: a biological one (the Coronavirus outbreak) and a psychological one (Coronavirus anxiety, economic uncertainty and social isolation, among other issues). Trip planning can give you something to look forward to and provide an uplifting distraction from immediate pandemic problems. The Coronavirus pandemic pricing is in your favor as well, with the airline and hospitality industries struggling, these are the cheapest countries to visit right now during this pandemic (or right after).

Cheapest Countries To Visit

So many people have had to cancel summer travel plans this year. A lot of people are talking about how they don’t plan to leave the country until next year. If you are like me, you definitely do not have that much patience. Travel has slowly started to open up if you have been paying attention to the news. Of course, maybe not your first choices and it’s quite possible that yes, you may be able to travel, but you may have to deal with situations not so ideal during your vacation.

Cheapest Countries To Visit

The good news is that many places that are opening up are offering unbelievable discounts to revive themselves from the pandemic. It is unfortunate that the virus has caused a toll on the tourism industry (as well as every other industry) and people may still be afraid to travel; but places are definitely doing their best to keep sanitized and inspected.

These places would not confidently open up without keeping the health of guests and employees as top priority. So they may be the cheapest countries to visit right now, but these are still top-tier destinations.

Top 5 Cheapest Countries To Visit Right Now

5. CANCUN

Cheapest Countries To Visit

Cancun and the whole Riviera Maya area is open! Mexico has always been one of my favorite quick, inexpensive getaways! You can’t beat that Mexican Caribbean Sea!

As of now, flights to Cancun are cheaper than they have been in over 10 years! It’s absolutely stunning and worth it! I’d much rather be lazing on the beach in Cancun right now because there are definitely a lot less tourists; and to have the view of that ocean to myself would be a perfect scenario right now!

4. KEY WEST (USA)

Cheapest Countries To Visit

With a caution to remain diligent regarding social distancing, the city of Key West is open for tourism. Phase 2, which started Friday, June 5th, has allowed bars, movie theaters, concert halls, auditoriums, arcades, bowling alleys, etc. to reopen at 50% capacity with appropriate social distancing practices.

If you don’t live too far away, this could be a great option to drive to for a tropical escape without a passport!

3. LAS VEGAS (USA)

Cheapest Countries To Visit

Greece has done a good job preventing corona outbreak and ended up handling it quite well. If an international escape is what you are looking for, this is definitely a great opportunity as Greece is known to be the world’s most beautiful destinations!

1. HAWAII (USA)

Cheapest Countries To Visit

Many airlines are keeping lower prices to Hawaii till late 2020 from the major cities in the USA such as San Francisco, Oakland, Austin, New York, Chicago in order to boost tourism as soon as Coronavirus situation is handled and travel restrictions are lifted. This is definitely an offer you can’t pass up as Hawaii is known to be quite pricey!

Still Not In The Budget?

If all else fails, you can always take a road trip to a camp ground or lake area for a nice picnic or short escape. As things are easing up, planning a trip and giving yourself something to look forward to is definitely a great way to control mental health. It’s definitely advisable to take advantage of trip insurance, research and take advantage of deals and make sure to practice social distancing and all other rules to keep yourself safe during the pandemic. But if you need to get away, right now these are the cheapest countries to visit (thanks to Coronavirus ruining the economy).

Hertz (HTZ) Delisting Appeal Expected To Take Weeks

0

In a crazy turn of events over the past week, Hertz (HTZ) was able to turn bankruptcy news into a stock value increase of over 308%.

Analysts are perplexed. Generally a bankrupt company would not be attractive to investors. But this is a different type of investor.

It is the millennial investor on their phone. And according to economist Arthur Schwartz, the large volume from Robinhood users was “likely the main reason for the turnaround”.

With this new high stock value Hertz no longer needs to declare bankruptcy and according to a snippet of a document a Todays Five reporter believes a delisting appeal is in the works.

Three Travel Stocks To Invest In This Week Before They Explode

0
stocks buy this week

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH)

Currently $23.38

The general advice given from all investors right now is to choose a company that you know will make it back, and then be patient. Because in the end we all know this country and the big companies in it will survive. But this week blue chips are going to start coming back to the value they belong at. Rapidly. There are some big blue chip stocks that will be up to triple their current value in the next month. These are the three stocks that you should invest in this week. Three companies that are as close to guarantees as you can get. 

There were a lot who speculated that people would be continue to hide out as stay-at-home orders started to get lifted. They were very wrong. Believe it or not, people didn’t like being couped up all day. Southwest Airlines has already reported that new bookings have outpaced cancellations. Casinos were packed, people were out. Air B&B anounced they have more bookings or this month this year, than they did this time last year. Travel is most definitely back.

 Stocks To Invest In This Week

“Shares of stocks poised to benefit from the economy reopening ticked higher in premarket trading. Airlines, cruise lines and casino stocks all rose, in hopes that the reopening will bring a return to travel demand. Norwegian Cruise Line jumped more than 3% and Carnival and Royal Caribbean gained more than 2%. American Airlines, Southwest and Alaska Air jumped 2% each and United and Delta rose about 1.5%.”CNBC

Even though Norweigian Cruise Line got as low as $7 per share in March, NCHL stock is your best bet if you still want to get on the cruise-line explosion band wagon. Then this is on your list of stocks to invest in this week. They have as much industry respect and stability as Royale, but no pun intended, if you don’t have shares in Royale already, you missed the boat.

A lot of short sellers want to scare people out of buying cruise-line shares. They banked on them flopping through the summer and likely bet on a continued fall for Royale, Norwegian, and Carnival. Now Norwegian is their last one to try and keep from exploding. But as wall treet trader explained to us:

“I been a trader on wall street for 30 years… This is a recovery as these stocks have been unbelievably discounted due to the virus. So now we are seeing these stocks recovering. NCLH is a 60 dollar stock and has been. Royal Caribbean is a 140 dollar stock and has been until the virus came. Now the virus is slowing down and vaccines on the horizon and therapeutics and also places are opening and the unemployment numbers continue to improve and will keep improving.”

 Stocks To Invest In This Week

A 5 star-analyst also had this to say:

“Summing up, Feinseth said, “While the travel industry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic with the cruise industry suffering the most, we believe the cruise industry and NCLH are both extremely resilient and will see a tremendous ramp up in business once its ships return to service. NCLH currently operates the youngest, most feature-rich, technologically advanced, and fuel-efficient ships, enabling it to earn a greater Return on Capital on its new ship investments as newer ships have greater demand at higher price points.” – Source

MGM Resorts (MGM)

Currently $22.18

Casino’s are back baby. They re-opened on the 4th and MGM exploded up to $23.50 a share, we know that will be happening again this week. Probably more to to the tune of $30 per share.

 Stocks To Invest In This Week

Based on technicals, MGM should be reaching $24.50 by end of day tomorrow. $32 by the end of next week.

“Casino stocks, among the hardest-hit by the coronavirus pandemic, have bounced back in recent weeks and continued to skyrocket after dozens of Las Vegas casinos reopened for business on Thursday.”

“Stocks of all the major U.S. casino operators jumped on Thursday: Penn National Gaming soared 14%, MGM 7%, Wynn 2% and Las Vegas Sands 1%.”Forbes

Forbes says MGM is one of the stocks to invest in this week.

Even with the new regulations (masks, temperature checks, etc) and the fact that these casinos can currently only operate at 50% capacity, gambling stocks across the board are climbing and have no sign of slowing down.

If you are going to get into the casino comeback cash in, a casino or gambling stock is one of the stocks for you to buy this week. I recommend MGM stock, still under $25 and will hit $50.

Boeing (BA)

Currently $206.80

This is about as blue chip as it gets. But if the airline infudsty is clearly on the up, why choose between individual airlines when you can take the safest pick of all, the company that makes airplanes for all of them. It’s like investing in the airline industry as a whole.

And I know it’s a real bummer that this was selling at like $90 after the initial pandemic crash, and you didn’t get on board then. But Boeing stock at $206 is still a steal, as crazy as that sounds. BA stock will go up to $250 in just this week. It is a stock you should buy this week without a doubt. Even if you can only afford one, it will end up being close to $600 a share before next year and you’ll have tripled your money. This is number one on stocks to invest in this week.

Only good news ahead.

“Boeing shares jumped nearly $20 on Wednesday after a double dose of good news. First, it was detailed that SMBC Aviation Capital said it would delay but not cancel parts of an order for 737 MAX aircraft. The second positive item was a performance update from Third Point’s Offshore Fund that listed Boeing as a May winner. While it was originally thought that Dan Loeb’s position was equity, it was later revealed to be through debt.”

 Stocks To Invest In This Week

“Investors also are looking forward to putting the worst behind them. In late May, the company restarted production of the 737 MAX, which will ramp up throughout the rest of this year. As the graphic below details, Q2 is expected to be the bottom for quarterly revenues in dollar terms. Year-over-year growth is expected to return in Q4 of this year, with the company forecast to break even in that period as well and get back into the green next year.” – Source

Why Amazon Is Considering Purchasing AMC – Impact On Stock Value

1
Amazon AMC

The first and biggest reason Amazon would be looking to buy AMC is very simple to grasp.

AMC is still the country’s largest multiplex operator.

There is not a single big studio in Hollywood that does not have some sort of long-term deal and relationship with AMC. 

Before I dig into this I received a lot of e-mails thanking me for telling them about ZOM stock. Rather than message you all individually (which I tried), here is an over-arching “you are welcome” to all of you. Happy you made some money!

Now back to it:

No concrete sources of a deal. But AMC could be worth the ticket. Amazon knows this. It’s why they have had discussions with AMC in the past on purchasing them.

For that reason alone it has value. Historic value. The people don’t even want to see it go under. 

And on that point, why would it go under? 

People, The Pandemic WILL End

You know that this country is going to be back to normal sooner or later. Eventually people will want to go back to their normal lives and even though the movie industry was “declining”, there are still a ton of moviebuffs who love actual screenings.

And the concept of a premier screening will always be apart of film. 

Amazon Studios: Burning Questions For The New Boss, Whomever It Is |  IndieWire

So with all these intangible assets wrapped into AMC it makes sense Amazon was looking into purchasing them in 2018. 

Why would they reconsider now? 

The Covid discount of course! 

They can get AMC for a steal now than in comparison to 2018. 

Why else does Amazon want to buy AMC? Why did they want to in 2018? 

Amazon Prime Video Combined With AMC Studio Connections

Let’s not forget that Amazon is trying to compete with Hulu and Netflix to be a premier streaming platform. 

A purchase of AMC by Amazon not only gives them a closer relationship with the big movie studios, but in certain cases they will be able to stream movies that are currently only in theaters on Amazon Prime exclusively. 

That is the big point here. 

If we (and Amazon) have learned anything from the pandemic, it’s that A LOT of people are very ok with hanging at home, ordering junk, and watching junk all day. 

Everyone also knows that studios need to have releases for their box office movies. 

How do you solve that if the studios are making movies but AMC can’t go full capacity yet? 

Combine Amazon Prime with AMC Movie Pass and charge a regular ticket price. It worked on demand for Verizon Fios. The proof of concept is there. 

Amazon buys AMC, and then you can stream in theater movies from home. 

Imagine A New AMC Designed By Amazon?

And when the country does return to normal. 

It should be pretty crazy to see what Amazon turns the typical AMC location into… 

Amazon AMC

“When it comes to the concessions counter it’s hard to think of anyone better than Amazon to disrupt pricing on overpriced snacks but — more importantly — to also flesh out its kiosks with relevant merchandise and likely an upgrade in automated service technology. 

The final point about research may seem to matter less these days with audiences unlikely to return to peak levels, but Amazon would be able to use the data it can collect from its moviegoers far more effectively. 

Amazon would also be able to improve in-theater marketing. It also can reinvent programming with its breadth of multimedia connections.

AMC in Amazon’s hands would be misunderstood by Wall Street at first, but you don’t bet against Amazon when it gets its hands on a new toy — or in this case a 100-year-old toy that just needs to be wound in a new way.”Source

MGM Resorts Bellagio Hotel Already Sold Out Through June

0
bellagio hotel sold out

It was becoming a general consensus among analysts that MGM Resorts was going to have a rough 1-2 years. Many investors were advised to stay away until a recovery in their revenue starts to show. Some analysts doubt there even will be a recovery. But now analysts are split. A lot are starting to see the possibility of a quicker revival than what was expected. Still, it won’t be a quick turnaround. Forbes raised their fair price evaluation from $28 per share to $33.50 in a matter of two days (Forbes). This drastic change in evaluation comes from two recent developments, the first one is that MGM resorts Bellagio Hotel is sold out through June.

If you need short term stocks and can’t wait a month look at Citius Pharmaceuticals or T2 Biosystems for cheap stocks with fast volatility.

But back to MGM-

Why Do These New Hotel Bookings Matter?

It shows that all the analysts were wrong. They based much of their projections on how they anticipated the average American would live their life once the country opened up. It’s certainly rational to think that Americans would not be going to casinos if they are going to continue living isolated lives. But the truth is that is not the general consensus of Americans. More than half of Americans believe that the shutdown has gone on way too long, and have no fears of Coronavirus (Source). To think that every American is going to be living like a germaphobe for the next 2 years is just not a rational evaluation. And with MGM resorts Bellagio Hotel already sold out, analysts are starting to realize that.

bellagio hotel sold out

Millennial’s don’t want to waste their mid to late 20’s hiding from a virus, they want to get out of the house. They want bars and restaurants open again. People aged 22-35 have been having outings and gatherings for months now. There is no fear left, just compliance with the shutdown. And some of these people want to go to Vegas. Especially now since flights and rooms are half the price. People would have gone to Casinos this whole time. They just couldn’t because Nevada closed them.

CEO of Las Vegas Sands has a strong belief that once people come to Vegas and leave healthy, it will get the ball rolling faster than people expected. And with the Bellagio Hotel sold out this ball will get moving by June 4th.

“I think it will ramp up as people come back, locals and drive-ins first and then air travel,” Valentine said. “There’s been a lot of careful, thoughtful planning going into this reopening. It’s going to be important that we get it right.” – Source

Japanese Gaming License

Las Vegas Sands announced on May 14th that they will be dropping out of contention for obtaining one of the 3 available Japanese gaming licenses.

MGM is still in the race, and is currently in the lead to secure a license in Japan.

bellagio hotel sold out
MGM’s Prototype For The New Casino in Japan –

“Like LVS, MGM remains one of the leading contenders for one of the first three Japanese gaming permits. But the Bellagio operator’s focus is on Osaka, where it is now the only company in that city. Sands was intent on building an integrated resort (IR) in Yokohama. Curtis’s analysis underlines the key for MGM to convince investors that it can make Japan not only work, but that the project will generate strong returns after what’s likely to be an 11-figure investment.” – Source

However you feel about the long-term gain of a casino in Japan, that announcement alone would create enough hype to bring MGM back up to fair value.

Also It Is Really Hot In Vegas

“The new coronavirus is quickly destroyed by sunlight, according to new research announced by a senior US official, William Bryan, science and technology advisor to the Department of Homeland Security secretary, told reporters at the White House that government scientists had found ultraviolet rays had a potent impact on the pathogen, offering hope that its spread may ease over the summer.”

“Our most striking observation to date is the powerful effect that solar light appears to have on killing the virus, both surfaces and in the air,” he said.

“We’ve seen a similar effect with both temperature and humidity as well, where increasing the temperature and humidity or both is generally less favorable to the virus.” – Source

All this being said, MGM is a long play. This won’t happen over night. But Bellagio Hotel being sold out is obiously a great sign. By end of August MGM will be a $30-$35 stock.

Another Quick Friday Tip

Macy’s (M) stock is very undervalued right now, expect that to hit $18-$19 by then end of next week.

Happy Friday and good luck out there! I will leave you with this:

Should You Invest In Macy Stock Right Now?

1
invest macy stock

So you missed out on United Airlines (up 31% this past week), and you missed out on Royal Caribbean (up 49% in the past month). And these ones hurt because they were so obvious. You knew that these companies were worth more than $17 a share, but you passed on it anyway and now they are skyrocketing back to $70 land. So you missed the wave on the airline and cruise line boom, that’s ok, because there is still one more industry that is still hurting from the pandemic that is still poised to make a comeback. Retail. Macy stock, invest before it blows up too. It is going to fill the whole in your heart from missing out on United, Royal, and all the other blue chips that went back to normal.

As of now Macy stock (morning of 5/27), is up to $6.60 per share. This is after an after-hours increase of .52 cents. But still this is a stock that was holding strong at $16-$18 per share right before the pandemic. Do you think it will actually go below $5.50-$6? I don’t, and neither do experts, they say it has a fair value of $17.60.

macy stock invest

There isn’t much to lose here just a lot to gain. Even if you are in it for the long game, Macy stock was over $22 a share this time last year.

Why Should You Invest In Macy Stock?

1. Stores Will Continue To Open

“The department store chain said on Thursday that it will begin reopening stores on Monday, starting with 68 locations of its 500 namesake stores, gradually ramping up from there. The company expects all stores will be open in some manner by mid-June, depending on what local authorities allow and the trajectory of the pandemic.” – Fortune

Macy stores are reopening around the country and they show no signs of slowing down. They are following all state regulations as far as restrictions go, but rest assured Macy’s is committed to getting the brick-and-mortar locations back up and running ASAP. Which is great news for investors. The sooner stores open, the sooner it’s all back to normal.

2. Americans Want To Get Out

macy stock invest

To tag on to the first point, Americans are getting SICK of being stuck inside. And even when their state lifts their ban, there may not be many options to go. By default Americans will end up going to places that have hastily reopened. Even if it is just to go somewhere that isn’t home. Macy’s will be an option for these people. And the store should experience higher foot traffic because of it once we get into the summer.

3. Schools Will Be Opening Up

After months of school closures and online classes, schools across the country will be opening up in the coming weeks.

Where do kids get all their school uniforms? Macy’s!

Also, we can look forward to 4Q as well. Considering Macy stock always is on the rise in the holiday season. Here is a look at what they reported last holiday season.

“Here’s what Macy’s reported for its fiscal fourth quarter compared with what analysts were expecting, based on Refinitiv data:

  • Earnings per share, adjusted: $2.12 per share vs. $1.96 per share expected
  • Revenue: $8.34 billion vs. $8.32 billion expected
  • Same-store sales: down 0.5%, on an owned plus licensed basis, vs. a drop of 0.9% expected” – CNBC

4. Malls Will Be The Safest Place To Shop

macy stock invest

Social distancing obviously will be a key component to all the re openings, luckily Macy is the biggest mall tenant in America. Owning a whopping 6.2% of all mall square footage across the country. Most of these locations are also side entrances with multiple floors, they will be easy to access without even having to go through the mall.

5. CEO Reports Seeing Heavy Online Traffic

“U.S. e-commerce sales have been up an average of about 49% daily from April 1 to April 23 compared with a baseline period of March 1 to March 11, according to data from Adobe Analytics. And as consumer spending in the U.S. tumbled a record 16.4% in April, nonstore sales, which includes online retailers, saw growth in their category of 8.4%.” – CNBC

If you are concerned about whether or not to invest in Macy Stock, rest assured that even though the physical locations have been closed, there is plenty of revenue coming in from online sales.

macy stock invest

6. Sales To Get Rid Of Old Inventory

“Macy’s, which says it is looking at plans to reopen its entire fleet over the next six to eight weeks, is making similar adjustments (an attractive channel to clear unsold store inventories in the future, particularly after the reopening of the economy, given people may have less money to spend on fashion and apparel)… It’s adding sanitizing requirements at beauty and jewelry counters, and ending some up-close services entirely, such as bra fittings.” – MediaPost

If there is anything the American people love more than shopping, it’s a good deal. Expect to see Macy’s right back where it’s supposed to be at. Invest in Macy stock, it’s the safest bet on the market right now.

Citius Pharmaceuticals (CTXR) Given Exclusive COVID-19 Stem-Cell License

Citius Pharmaceuticals stock

Citius Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company that you most likely have never heard of. They focus on the development of therapeutic and critical care devices. Citius Pharmaceuticals is the mind behind Mini-Lok, a patented solution to treat catheter infections. I know what you’re thinking. Gross. But as always, none of this matters.

Why are experts calling Citius Pharmaceuticals the hottest penny stock available on the market right now?

From the company May newsletter to shareholders:

“Company highlights exclusive option to license novel stem-cell therapy for ARDS related to COVID-19 from Novellus, Inc.” – Yahoo

That’s right, EXCLUSIVE stem-cell therapy rights. Citius Pharmaceuticals is now a part of the COVID-19 relief game. And they are going to get big quick because of it.

Pharmaceutical Companies Are Blowing Up Due To Day Traders

Moderna (MRNA) shot up to $84 per share this month. In 3 months Inovio (INO) has gone from $3 per share, to $14 per share. That is an insane jump. Day traders are literally driving Lamborghinis right now because they bought into Inovio early on in the quarantine.

Just this week T2 Biosystems (TTOO) started Monday morning at .50 per share, it peaked at .94 this week before slightly coming back down.

Citius Pharmaceuticals stock

Kitov Pharmaceuticals (KTOV) stock price has gone up over 100% in the past month. Starting at only 30 cents per share. Craziness!

These are just a few examples of the no name pharmaceutical companies and bio medical companies that are going up in value literally 20-50% overnight. Why is this happening? Medicine is obviously “hot” right now, so to speak. Inovio (INO) has gone up in value so drastically in big part to the companies involvement in COVID-19 research. But this explosion with Inovio has sparked an interest in small pharmaceutical companies among day traders after seeing the value that can be created in them.

Why Citius Pharmaceuticals (CTXR) Is The Next To Explode

Because just like Inovio, Citius has COVID-19 hype now!

Still, it’s dangerous, as always with penny stocks. More often then not these companies are not worth the value that day traders inflate them to. Many of them, including Citius Pharmaceuticals, have under 10 total employees. But this didn’t stop people from making over $20,000 in a month off of Kitov Pharmaceuticals (KTOV). Because as long as you get out during or at the peak of the boom, that is all that matters.

Citius Pharmaceuticals ctxr

Day traders are confident the current hype of Citius Pharmaceuticals (CTXR) plus the inclination of other day traders right now to look for companies in the medical development field will lead a perfect climate for a spike from CTXR.

CTXR rose 4% today in a market that was otherwise VERY much dead. A lot of red today. But CTXR is still at .87 per share, and with recent news and influx of expected day traders we can expect the stock to jump above $1 by the end of the month. After that it is hard to say how long day traders will ride it out for. It will likely experience multiple pump and dumps but may climb as high as $3 per share before mid-June.

T2 Biosystems Stock (TTOO) Is About To Explode

1
t2 biosystems stock

T2 Biosystems stock has already risen 54% in the last month alone. From around .50 a share to .85. This includes a huge spike yesterday where at about 10am the price of a TTOO stock was at .96 per share. Close to breaking the $1 threshold. It soon after dipped down to mid-80s where it hung out until close.

Now there is big activity happening in after-hours. But why did T2 Biosystems stock spike to almost a dollar in the span of 10 minutes? And if it is a penny stock as everyone says, why does it appear to be leveling out just below a dollar? And most importantly, will it spike again?

Firstly, yes, this stock will be over $2 by July.

Who Is T2 Biosystems?

T2 Biosystems is a relatively small company based out of Lexington, MA. It was founded in 2006 and currently has over 150 employees.

While they are in the bio-tech realm, T2 Biosystems has little to do with this race for the Coronavirus vaccine.

The company mostly focuses on it’s main technology, the T2 Magnetic Resonance, which enables rapid detection of pathogens, biomarkers and other abnormalities in a variety of unpurified patient sample types. 

So why is T2 Biosytems stock blowing up all of a sudden?

Because just yesterday it was announced that T2 Biosystems (TTOO) had won “Best New Technology Solution – Diagnostics”, given to them by MedTech.

T2 Biosystems Stock

“The T2Bacteria Panel, which was FDA cleared in May 2018, can detect sepsis-causing bacterial pathogens directly from whole blood in three to five hours, without the need to wait for a blood culture, which typically takes days to provide results and is not as sensitive. By providing quicker results, the T2Bacteria Panel can help clinicians start patients on the right therapy sooner, which can lead to a series of potential benefits, including improved patient outcomes, better management of antibiotics, reduced length of stay in the hospital and more.” – Source 

The thing many people don’t realize about T2 Biosystems is that it’s stock (TTOO) used to trade at over $19 per share.

This company is not a joke and they are determined to get back to where they belong. This award was a great step in the right direction for them and wether it be a long-term hold or just a quick hold and sell, you can be sure that T2 Biosystems stock is on the rise.

BioPharmX CEO Announces Merger Will Be Complete By Tonight

0

In a surprise and rather late announcement, Today’s Five investigative team has received word that BioPharmX Corporation has informed Timber Pharmaceuticals LLC that they intend to back out of the merger if there is no final agreement as well as a plan action in regards to the BioParmaX merger by Friday night.

It was no secret that this merger was going to be finalized by late next week.

But no one, especially traders, expected this kind of news to drop just before the weekend.

Some experts believe this push by BioPharmaX is a courtesy to stock holders, as the merger may come as a shock to some long term stock holders. The small company has less than 10 employees. The stock will now trade under TMBR.

BioPharmX And Timber Pharmaceuticals Announce Entry into Merger ...

Other analysts argue that BioParmX is concerned that day traders will drive up the price of the shares knowing the news of the merger. If BioPharmX can have the share prices finalized by this afternoon, there will be less time for market fluctuation.

It is currently uncertain what the stock price per share will be for current holders once the merger is complete. 

Why BiopharmX Corp Is A Good Buy - CWEB.Com - cweb | Seeking Alpha

While some are saying this play by BioPharmX is a pressure play, others are rather certain that speeding up this merger is beneficial to both sides. Analysts say we should have a complete BioPharmaz merger between Timber Pharmaceuticals.

Share prices for Kitov Pharmaceuticals (KTOV) are expected to go up as much as 27% in the coming weeks. And I mean hey, we saw it happen with Inovio and if you made a prediction like that it would seem equally bold.

Kitov Pharmaceuticals (KTOV)

Here is the timeline most experts in the medical industry have for Kitov Pharmaceuticals:

March 22nd – The announcement is made that Consensi will be launched in the United States and distributed by Burke Therapeutic. The announcement strategically comes before the press conference as well as right before Memorial Day Weekend.

March 27th – After hype from the initial announcement Kitov Pharmaceuticals will announce a press conference on the next day.

March 28th – Kitov Pharmaceuticals announces it’s earnings, gives a positive press conference/presentation, and stocks go up even further.

“The presentation, titled, “NT219, a novel dual inhibitor of STAT3 and IRS1/2, demonstrates anti-tumor activity with and without cetuximab in pembrolizumab-resistant head and neck cancer PDX models,” includes preclinical data on NT219, a first-in-class, dual inhibitor of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and insulin receptor substrate 1 and 2 (IRS1/2), which have been associated with treatment resistance in a variety of cancer settings.” – Yahoo Finance

A message from the CEO, Isaac Israel:

“We are confident that Coeptis’ and Burke’s extensive distribution reach will enable us to maximize Consensi™’s market potential.  The projected royalties and milestone revenues from our U.S. marketing and distribution agreements for Consensi™, together with the $26 million gross fundraising proceeds we secured this year, will provide the source of financial support for our development efforts aimed at advancing our emerging oncology pipeline, including advancing both NT-219 and CM-24 into significant value creating clinical milestones. We look forward to providing further updates about Consensi™’s marketing activities and progress soon.” – GlobeNewswire

This company has only been around since 2010, this will be by far the biggest move for them to date. It is also worth noting that in 2016, the company had a value of $6.50 per share. A lot of analysts are expecting share prices upwards of $4 by the end of June. And they aren’t being called crazy for saying it.
