SMITH & NEPHEW HITS $100 TARGET $SNN $SYK $MDT

June 5, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. SNN hit $100 target yesterday afternoon on rumors that MDT would make a bid. SNN is long from $81.40. There are more synergies in a buyout by SYK. For this reason SYK may be able to pay a higher price. However a buyout by SYK may raise regulatory concerns. In a bidding war, buyout price can easily go to $110-120. But there is no guarantee that a transaction will be consummated, there is much higher risk in the stock now compared to when the position was entered. Therefore it is important

A NEW IDEA ON NPS PHARMACEUTICALS $NPSP $SHPG

May 30, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Short Change Alert. NPSP is a pharma company that is running up on rumors that Shire will by it. In all likelihood these rumors are false.

It is suitable only for those who can withstand the risk if we are wrong and there really is a buy out. Target zone is $27 to $30.50. Stops zone is $36.55 to $36.85. However please be aware

WHAT IS A BETTER INVESTMENT NOW: GOLD OR SILVER? $GLD $SLV #GOLD #SILVER

May 29, 2014

C lick here to see an enlarged chart. An investor who has decided to invest in precious metals has four choices: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. This article is limited to choosing between gold and silver. There are times when gold is a better investment, and there are times when silver is a better investment. Let us start by looking at the charts. The chart shows that from June 2006 to November 2008, gold was a better investment than silver; during this period a gold investor would have gained over 10% while a silver investor would have lost over 20%.

A NEW IDEA ON PROSENSA HOLDING $RNA $PTCT

May 29, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Short Change Alert. RNA is a development stage biotech company. Until yesterday shares had moved up in sympathy with the success at PTCT. Today’s shares are moving up strongly again as investors react to company releasing its presentation to be made at Jeffries on June 4 2014. The up-move on the stock is way overdone. There is an opportunity to make about 40% in a short time but there is high risk of a short squeeze. Further, there is a high risk because the company can be bought out at a much higher price.

TAKE PARTIAL PROFITS ON SMITH & NEPHEW AS PER THE PLAN $SNN $SYK $ZMH

May 29, 2014

This post was just published on ZYX Buy Change Alert. We clearly stated yesterday that the plan was to take partial profits on SNN if the stock rose today. In the pre-market, the stock is rising about $4 to $87. Those who took on a full position of 40% with anticipation of taking some profits today may consider taking profits on a 10% tranche right here around $87 and plan to take profits on an additional 10% before the market close in the zone of $86 to $92. These kind of stocks have a tendency to run in the afternoons.

OMINOUS BREAK IN GOLD HAS INVESTORS ON EDGE $GLD $SLV $GDX $GDXJ $NEM $GG

May 28, 2014

Please click here for the annotated chart. Gold broke technical supports, shown on the chart, Tuesday, which could have important implications for the short term. The break is ominous because the support that is now broken was a strong support characterized by a triple bottom. This triple bottom was formed at the end of a down trend that started in March. On March 14, 2014, I made an unequivocal call to sell/short gold and silver. That call has proven spot on, as it coincided with the exact top in gold as shown on the chart. This was the top
