TOMDF Run Continues

Todos Medical, Ltd. TOMDF

We have been tracking TOMDF since Tuesday morning in the premarket, when we included it in our extended watchlist. At the time, it was trading for as little as .0413 per share, and while it had a solid session that day, the gains hadn’t quite yet cracked the double-bag threshold.

Yesterday, after another really good performance, that mark was attained and then some. TOMDF has gone on to hit a new high of .17 for us, which works out to a big gain of 312%

The company’s rapid (2-10min) COVID-19 point-of-care test has been the primary reason for the stock’s huge moves. We will stay updated on the progress of the company getting the tests put into action, and will be interested to see if more upswings are on the horizon as a result.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NVAX, NQ & More

Novavax, Inc. NVAX 

NVAX is the latest Ebola-related stock to catch our eye, and while the initial fear that was driving a lot of these plays has calmed as people realize that the virus doesn’t exactly spread like wildfire, there is much being made of efforts to find a working vaccine and NVAX is attempting to answer that call.

The company announced today that it had presented at the 8th Vaccine and ISV Conference in Philadelphia on Sunday on what was called the first Ebola Vaccine Candidate based on the 2014 Guinea strain that caused the current outbreak in West Africa.

The company said it expects to begin Phase I testing by December, so we’re going to add NVAX to our watchlists for the time being. Additionally, the stock is gapping up to the tune of 10% here in the premarket, and the chart appears to have the possibility of a Golden Cross in the making.


NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

This is a play we’ve tracked continuously since late this spring. After witnessing a nice move back in July from the low $4-range to the mid-$7’s, the stock had been under general consolidation until it found and bounced off of support about 6 weeks ago. It has made a nice steady recovery from that point on, and is gaining more traction this morning as it gaps up in the premarket on the heels of a PR.

The mobile security has just company submitted the necessary back-filings to once again become fully compliant, and no anomalies or adverse findings were uncovered, which adds another dimension to this play.

We also like the space NQ operates in- with mobile devices permeating every aspect of the current culture, the need for mobile security services such as those provided by NQ only stands to grow in the future.


Side Note:
PTIE, DRRX (Two that are gapping down significantly; we will want to watch for an eventual bounce)


Extended Watchlist:
ISR, AEZS, TSEM, CEMI,
