It has had a good run recently and has broken through a $10.50 resistance area. It might need to retest this and confirm its run, but looking good at the moment and might be worth a watch.
Brazil's state-controlled Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA, known as Eletrobras, said in a securities filing on Thursday that President Jair Bolsonaro had authorized studies into privatising the power company via a share offering. The company, which is responsible for almost one third of the generational capacity and half of Brazil's power transmission grid, said the privatisation would need to be approved by Congress. Bolsonaro, who was elected last year on an economic platform that included aggressive pro-market reforms and privatisations, met with Eletrobras' Chief Executive Officer Wilson Ferreira Jr on Thursday, sending the company's share price to a record high on hopes it might be privatised.

$AQN:NYSE - ALGONQUIN POWER - Good momentumAlgonquin has had a good run to date and could be a good defensive stock in the event of a down turn.
It is coming into earnings so caution advised, but it has bounced and run off their last earnings announcements which is a good sign. It has also broken and closed above an older resistance area so fingers crossed, might be one to watch.

$M7T - MACH7 TECHNOLOGIES - Running well. Up 350% since April.M7T is a company I like the idea of a a software and services provider into the medical space.
They have had a great run up to and post their signing up Advocate Aurora Health (AAH), an integrated healthcare network headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The agreement has a minimum total contract value of A$5.7 million across a five-year term.

Along with the Mach7 Platform, AAH also purchased the migration engine to migrate ~3.5 petabytes of data.

$OPT:ASX - OPTHEA - Broken through resistanceLooks to have finally broken through a previous strong area of resistance with the announcement of moving their trial results forward. I like the biopharmaceutical space and anything to do with eye disease and diabetes would seem to be a good medium to long term opportunity. Might be worth a watch.
Opthea Limited (ASX:OPT), is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel biologic therapies to treat eye diseases and is pleased to announce that the timing of the primary analysis from its ongoing Phase 2b trial of OPT-302 for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) will occur sooner than expected and be brought forward by one quarter, with the primary data now expected to be reported in the 3rd quarter of calendar year 2019.
$IME:ASX - IMEXHS LIMITED - Running nicelyBit more of a speculative buy, but at 7 cents it seems reasonable value and momentum has been on its side since they announced their US deal with IGMC MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY GROUP (IGMC Med) for a nonexclusive distribution agreement in the US market. Miami-based, IGMC Med is a wholesale medical supply & equipment distributor with market positions in Florida and Texas. IMEXHS and IGMC Med will start reviewing market strategies while IMEXHS is waiting on its 510(k) clearance notice from the US FDA. If they get their FDA clearance it could move quite aggressively. Might be worth a watch.
Currently at 7 cents with 59 buyers for 7,089,371 units vs 34 sellers for 3,722,441 units. I have a trailing sell of 10% set, but will keep an eye on it around the 5% trail type mark.

$BYND:NASDAQ - BEYOND MEAT INC - Plant Based Meat AlternativesHave been watching all the vegetarianism / vegan movements building momentum on Youtube for the last couple of years and got a chance to try a Beyond Meat Burger a couple of days ago at a local burger restaurant and I liked it. Beyond Meat has been getting a lot of press attention after its launch and while I don't know if they will be the long term winner, they do seem to have first market mover momentum at the moment on the stock market. I do think there will be more and more meat alternatives coming through especially with all the hype from the various heart associations versus red meat and limiting its consumption. Salads inside McDonalds have never done much, but I could imagine them and others coming out with meat alternative type burgers that could get a good following as way for people to feel better about their consumption habits as well as the whole eat less meat save the planet mantra.
From a TA point of view I don't like buying new listings on the float as you never know which way they are going to go, but now that BYND has had a bit of a pullback of its hyped-highs and some volume seems to be rebuilding I thought I'd take a punt. Up around 9% on my buy already which is nice. As always do your own research. Will be interesting to see how popular this whole industry gets. Stops are in at a 10% trail which will get moved to 15% when I'm up 15% and will stay there until it sells.

$BIT:ASX - BIOTRON LIMITED - Promising progressTheir letter to shareholders didn't come out with much fanfare, but I like the space they are operating in. Couple of things that caught my eye was their successful trial in 2018 of their HIV product and they have spent the last year analysing the data out of it and they are soon holding a Scientific/Clinical Advisory Meeting with internationally recognised HIV-1 experts. This might give them a bit of a credibility bump and publicity which often comes out of these kinds of things as they release more PR around the meeting and the feedback.
During the second half of 2019, they are planning to consult with the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure the proposed path is in accordance with relevant regulations.
Also, the positive outcomes from the trial also mean that Biotron has been meeting with key potential partners with compelling Phase 2 data in hand. Phase 2 is generally considered the best time to license technology to a major pharmaceutical company as they have the expertise and resources necessary for late stage clinical development and regulatory approvals in major markets such as the USA
Spiked up around 20% today on top of yesterdays run, so I'd want to see what happens tomorrow. Buyers and seller pretty evenly matched. Might be worth a watch.

$KSS - KLEOS SPACE - Spy satellites heading to the moon :)Spotted this one on a volume scan this morning and got on board the rocket ship at .240 and it ran to .265 so a nice little 10% gain.
Driven largely by good recent news announcements with another one today. Stop losses are in. I've been playing more with using an ATR range value to set the dollar amount on my trailing sells so have this one at .03
It closed today at its high so hopefully will remain bullish tomorrow and run for a bit. Market depth on the buy side still looks good.

$2BE - TUBI LIMITED - New ASX listing I think is interestingAnother new listing that seems to be headed in the right direction for now. I had a bit of a read of what they do and like the sound of it... the old sell the shovels to the miners ploy. Might be worth a watch.
Currently 53 buyers for 1,429,882 units vs 8 sellers for 242,119 units and up 13% for the day as I write this. Be careful of a pull back but might be an interesting long term buy and hold. Always run stops of course if you do decide to have a play.

Well not really. They bought a banking service in Lithuania which was part of Russia up until 1918 or so.
I'm actually not sure what to do with this stock which means I will sit out for now. I only like it because it has massive volume and good market depth on the buyers side. Its had a pullback on approaching an old high so will wait to see what it does early next week. I just have this feeling that there is something to this stock that's worth a watch...

$PET - PHOSLOCK - Back above $4 and climbing! Phoslock has edged back above 40 cents with some nice volume behind it. Need to wait a couple of days to make sure it can hold it and build support from here. Volume and various indicators are looking good though. It was a 48 cent stock not so long ago so has some room to the upside. It's a business I have always liked - cleaning up the water ways of China - but the share price has been annoyingly erratic.
Phoslock Environmental Technologies Limited (ASX: PET) is an international environmental company specialising in engineering solutions and water treatment products to remediate impaired lakes, rivers, canals and drinking water reservoirs.
PET has its headquarters in Sydney, Australia with offices in Brisbane, Beijing & Changxing, China; and Manchester, UK. PWS is represented by licensees, distributors and agents in ten other countries including SePRO Corporation in the United States and HidroScience in Brazil. PWS has a number of marketing and co-operation agreements in China with various environmental companies and government agencies.
With the massive water remediation market in China, in 2017 Phoslock (Beijing) was formed. Our 100% owned subsidiary undertakes design, engineering, and implementation using remediation materials for rivers, canals, reservoirs and lakes along with construction of wetland areas. This is a significant broadening of the historical PET business and enables it to undertake a greater array of projects in China and elsewhere, supplying both services and materials.
PET owns the patent for PHOSLOCK; a unique water treatment product that permanently binds excess phosphorus in the water column and sediments. This in turn inhibits the growth of Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB) that lead to detrimental effects to both aquatic and human life.
Along with PHOSLOCK, PET also supplies:
1) Zeolites - a porous, natural material that can be applied to heavily polluted water to absorb nutrients such as nitrogen. Nitrogen is another important food source for the growth of harmful algae; and
2) Bacteria. - Certain types of bacteria can break down contaminants and organic matter that pollute water and cause human and water borne diseases.
PWS has a large multi-purpose factory in Changxing, Zhejiang province, China, 150km inland from Shanghai, which manufactures its patented technology, PHOSLOCK, along with nutrient binding materials (zeolites) and biological solutions (such as nutrient consuming bacteria).

About Soliton, Inc.
Soliton, Inc. is a medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from MD Anderson. The Company's first FDA cleared commercial product uses rapid pulses of acoustic shockwaves as an accessory to lasers for the removal of unwanted tattoos. The Company is based in Houston, Texas, and is actively engaged in bringing its Rapid Acoustic Pulse ("RAP") device to the market. The Company believes this "Soliton" method has the potential to lower tattoo removal costs for patients, while increasing profitability to practitioners, compared to current laser removal methods. Soliton is also investigating additional indications for its RAP technology based on early clinical testing indicating the potential for RAP to reduce the appearance of cellulite and the potential to assist existing fat reduction technologies in the reduction of subcutaneous fat, as well as preclinical testing suggesting the potential for additional indications related to abberant fibrotic activity. Although our device is now cleared for sale in the United States for the tattoo removal indication, it remains investigational and not yet cleared for these additional indications.
