If I have learned one thing as a former research analyst i.e., venture and public markets investor and a consultant to an ever-evolving journalist and pundit; it is that your life and your portfolio are largely tied to asking and getting answers to questions.

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide an idea and context:

The Biostage (BSTG) Chronicles - Maintaining Sell – notice how the shares trade with and without being “pumped/promoted”?

Biostage (BSTG) closed up +$0.68 to $1.89 with 38,354 shares traded after Friday’s -$0.07 to $1.21 with 570 shares traded, Thursday’s flat with 50 shares traded, Wednesday’s -$0.10 with 739 shares traded and last Tuesday’s flat with 1 share traded.

Question#1: Protecting the share price is ONLY a temporary factor compared to the packing and inflated pricing of the private placements that jeopardizes ANY sort of future financing?

Question#2: With all the issues of transparency, is the biggest fear – being delisted?

Question#3: WHO is running this company, WHAT is the relationship with … LIU Dong-hai of Dixintong Technology Group in China of which Jason Chen is chairman of BSTG and a VP of Dixintong < whose parent company, D. Phone, is one of the largest smartphone retailers in China>. WHAT is LIU Dong-hai’s relationship with DST Capital in funding the company and managed by Mrs. bin Zhao of Weston, Ma? HOW many times did Shunfu Hu, VP of business development and operations say <to me> that Beijing, China based LIU Dong-hai was the ULTIMATE AUTHORITY in BSTG’s future?

Question#4: WHY does D. Phone, Dixintong Technology Group need a regenerative medicine/biotech public, debtor and money loosing company in its investment group that resides in the middle of scientific innovation in America?

Question#5: Is there another reason to funnel foreign national monies to this entity that has yet to initiate a clinical trial? The question is who is listening and reading the scientific access points?

Question#6: HOW did “this” all get started … is it related to get Chinese communist leaders and executive’s children into American schools and universities?

MINORITY PUBLIC shareholders are waiting for the specific time, watching and weighing responses to MAINTAIN their RIGHTS.

 

Pre-open Indications: looking bleak …

SELL into Strength:

Cellectis SA (CLLS) closed up +$0.53 and has a negative -$0.09 or +2.41% pre-market indication,

Editas Medicine (EDIT) closed up +$4.98 and has a positive +$3.38 or +0.84% pre-market indication,

CRISPR Therapeutics (CTSP) closed up +7.80 and has a positive +0.18 or +0.14% pre-market indication,

 

SELL:

Intellia Therapeutics (NTLAO closed p +$8,75 and has a negative -$0.21 pre-open indication

 

The BOTTOM LINE: August is a historically volatile month for markets and this year is no different, with investors currently climbing multiple walls of worries …

The alternating cycle of being oversold is the ability to be overbought after multiple sessions and the … REVERT back.

When you’re on a roller coaster, the only thing you can be sure of is you’ll end up back where you started

Investors should take short-term profits to cash-up for coming drifts!
