Somehow Monday’s Boomerang Stock Market Ended Green – $BTC $FATE $INMB $INVO $KSS $NBSE $SG Rise!

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.
Quote of The Day – “Bitcoin, in the short or even long term, may turn out be a good investment in the same way that anything that is rare can be considered valuable. Like baseball cards. Or a Picasso.” – Andrew Ross Sorkin, American Journalist, Born: February 19, 1977
 
 
Whoa! A seemingly oversold stock market took us on a bit of a wild boomerang-like ride today. Indeed the markets initially dropped by 4% prior to closing in the green across the board. The large cap indices ended with the S&P 500 closing at 4,410.13 (+.28%), the Dow 30 closed at 34,364.50 (+.29%), & the Nasdaq closed at 13,855.14 (+.63%). The small caps on the Russell 2000 realized an even greater turnaround closing at 2,033.51 (+2.29%) and the MicroCaps closed up with the iShares Micro-Cap ETF (IWC) closing at $125.75, +1.73%. The microcaps performance was especially impressive as many micros lobbed down over 10% in the early going prior whipping around to close up into the green. 8 of the 11 sectors closed in positive territory with the recently beleaguered consumer discretionary sector jumping 1.2%, while the utilities, health care, & the consumer staples sectors moved lower on the day.
 
Significant selling coupled with lack of conviction on the buy side of the coin served to pressure the markets lower in the early going. The negative sentiment and action was at least in part fueled by the negative move in the international markets, which had dropped overnight seemingly in reaction to the news that US & the UK were withdrawing families of diplomats & non-essential staff from Ukraine embassies as tension had escalated over Russia’s recent military buildup in the area. This negative headline along with ongoing inflation concerns was also joined with the worrisome headlines circling the impending FOMC meeting on the Jan. 25-26. The Fed is expected to reveal their current economic beliefs, their position on increasing interest rates to fight inflation, and how they will be reducing liquidity. The yield curve was relatively calm ahead of the FOMC meeting as the 2-yr yield fell 2 basis points to .97% & the 10-yr yield fell 1 basis point ending at 1.71%.
 
The much maligned biotech sector generally followed the overall markets path today as the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI), a barometer of the smaller biotech stocks, established a new 52-wk low of $85.31 prior to ripping back from approximately 8:50am PT to close up significantly at $92.11, +2.31. The 52-wk range is $85.31 – $174.79.  I hope that we have seen the low for the year in this sector!
 
The U.S. Dollar Index moved up .3% to close at 95.92, Bitcoin (BTC) closed at $36,432.02, +2.91% over the last 24-hours, & oil prices pulled back to close at $83.30, -2.2%.
 
Precious metals diverged a bit today as gold prices closed at $1,844/oz., +$9/oz. & silver closed at $24.03, -$.30. Two mining producers also pulled back again today as Hecla Mining Company (HL) fell to $5.17, -3% and First Majestic Silver Corp. (AG) closed at $10.43, -5.10%.
 
The macroeconomic schedule also delivered the preliminary IHS Markit Services PMI report for January confirmed a drop to 55 in the final reading for December, while the preliminary IHS Markit Services PMI for January dropped to 50.9.

Shares of Kohl’s Corporation (KSS), a leading omnichannel retailer with more than 1,100 stores in 49 states and the online convenience of Kohls.com and the Kohl’s App, jumped +36.02% today to close at $63.71. The move came as Kohl’s confirmed that it had received letters expressing interest in acquiring the Company. The Kohl’s Board of Directors stated that they will determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Shareholders are not required to take any action at this time. Kohl’s does not intend to further comment publicly on these matters unless it determines it is in the best interests of shareholders to do so. Rumor has it that private equity firms the guilty parties that the lobbed over the interest.

(SG), a company that has 140+ restaurants & 5,000 team members that create plant-forward, seasonal, and earth-friendly meals from fresh ingredients and produce that prioritizes organic, regenerative, and local sourcing,  closed at $30.28, +23.34% today.

On Jan. 11, I hosted a Tribe Public Webinar Presentation and Q&A Event with Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: CLAQ) Founder, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Nicolaus Radford & Eli Spiro, CEO of CleanTech Acquisition Corp for their presentation titled From Space to sea – Tesla of the Subsurface”. They were also available for a 5-10 minute Q&A session at the end of the presentation. You may view the event video at the Tribe Public YouTube Channel by clicking here. The event speaks, in part, to the overall oceanic economy, which counting both the seas and the shores, amounts to $2.5 trillion per year. Did you know that if the ocean were a country, it would have the seventh-largest GDP on Earth? That number could continue to grow — but only if our planet’s many seas remain in good health. We also learned about Nauticus Robotics and how they have developed revolutionary cloud-based autonomy software to enable a smarter and more sustainable ocean industry using its fleet of autonomous robots from the surface to the seabed. These robots are enabled by the Nauticus Software Suite, a platform of AI/ML technologies designed to disrupt the legacy methods in the marine industry. Its first product offering, Aquanaut, is the world’s first tetherless underwater robot capable of robust decision making for both long distance ocean data collection and close-in dexterous manipulation of the subsea environment, supporting government & defense and other commercial industry sectors. Nauticus’ software, robots, and services provide customers the necessary data collection, analytics, and subsea manipulation capabilities to support and maintain assets, while significantly reducing their operational and carbon footprints to improve offshore health, safety, and environmental exposure.

On the small side, Atossa Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ATOS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company seeking to develop innovative proprietary medicines in oncology and infectious disease with a current focus on breast cancer and COVID-19, rose to an intraday high of $1.31, +.97% on 4.469M shares of trading volume.  On Jan. 18, Atossa announced it is advancing to enroll participants in Part B of its Phase 1/2a clinical study of AT-H201 in Australia, consisting of multiple ascending dose cohorts in healthy participants. The nebulized formulation, AT-H201, is being developed as an inhalation therapy for moderately to severely-ill hospitalized COVID-19 patients and for “long-haul” patients with post-infection pulmonary disease. Part A of the study, which consisted of a single ascending dose group of 4 cohorts of healthy participants, has now been completed. The Australian Human Research Ethics Committee has reviewed the safety data from Part A and has approved the study to proceed to Part B. “The results of the first part of the study were extremely encouraging and the ethics committee concluded we may now proceed to enroll the next group of participants,” said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa’s CEO and President. “A record number of hospitalizations driven by the Omicron variant is producing a crisis at many healthcare facilities. Additional therapies to combat COVID-19 are desperately needed.” The Phase 1/2a placebo-controlled study will enroll a total of 60 healthy participants and moderately-ill hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The study has 4 parts: Part A – a single ascending dose part, Part B – a multiple ascending dose part, Part C – a combination part in healthy individuals, and Part D a combination in COVID-19 infected patients. The study is being conducted by Avance Clinical Pty Ltd., a leading Australian clinical research organization. AT-H201 is a proprietary combination of two drugs previously approved by the FDA to treat other diseases and by other administration routes. AT-H201 is intended to be inhaled via a nebulizer to improve compromised lung function for moderate to severely ill, hospitalized COVID-19 patients and for “long-haul” patients with post-infection pulmonary disease. In May 2020, we completed in vitro testing of AT-H201 which showed that the components of AT-H201 inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infectivity of VERO cells, which is a standard cell type being used to study infectivity of the coronavirus.
The Phase 1/2a study in Australia and other clinical studies must be successfully completed and regulatory approvals must be obtained before AT-H201 may be commercialized. No assurance can be given than studies will be successful or that regulatory approvals will be obtained.

The Company expects to produce over 100kg of CBDV and THCV in the coming months to meet anticipated initial demand. Shane Johnson, SVP and General Manager of BayMedica stated, “We are delivering on our objective to launch additional rare cannabinoids in early 2022 in response to inbound demand. By midyear, we expect to have at least four rare cannabinoids available for the health and wellness markets, positioning us as a leading large scale supplier of high quality rare cannabinoids in these sectors. The launch of CBT further demonstrates our ability to produce rare cannabinoids at commercial scale, an achievement that very few companies have been able to accomplish. We are pleased with initial demand and we expect to grow sales over the coming quarters as we continue to expand our product portfolio of rare cannabinoids.” This emerging market is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing awareness of the potential benefits of cannabinoid-based products. According to the December 2021 Grand View Research report, the retail market for rare cannabinoids is expected to reach US$26 billion by 2028 with a forecasted compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of >20% during the same period. With the availability of these rare cannabinoids at commercial scale, product manufacturers and consumer brands now have the ability to deliver differentiated products, including augmenting existing CBD-based products, to consumers in the health and wellness marketplace.

I’m very excited to provide updates on our progress as we begin to commercialize new products and explore an array of rare cannabinoids for their potential therapeutic applications.” Click here to read the letter
 
 
INmune Bio
 
INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB), a clinical-stage immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient’s innate immune system to fight disease, recently presented data at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium showing mucin 4 (MUC4) expression predicts worse survival and is a treatment resistance factor in women with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). INB03, a DN-TNF therapy, can reverse TNBC treatment resistance by decreasing expression of MUC4 and reducing immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) by increasing anti-tumor macrophage phagocytosis and increasing lymphocyte function in the TME. The poster was presented by Dr. Roxana Schillaci, Instituto de Biología y Medicina Experimental, Buenos Aires, on December 10th. RJ. Tesi, M.D, Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio, commented, “We are excited to have Dr. Schillaci present these data that expand on her previous findings on the role of MUC4 expression which predicts worse survival and resistance to therapy in HER2+ breast cancer therapy. Now, in both TNBC and HER2+ breast cancer, MUC4 predicts resistance to immunotherapy and an immunosuppressive TME that can be overcome with INB03.” Treatment with INB03 in murine models of breast cancer improves macrophage anti-tumor phagocytic activity, lymphocyte infiltration and function suggesting improved response to combination therapies of INB03 with inmunotherapy. Shares of INMB closed trading today at $8.85, +.80% an intraday high.

The agreement includes the expanded adoption of INVOcell within Ovoclinic locations as well as establishing an INVO Center of Excellence for future training for the European Market. Cristina Gonzalez, embryologist and Quality Manager of Ovoclinic laboratories stated, “After several successful trials implementing the exciting INVOcell fertility treatment, Ovoclinic aims to provide its patients with this effective alternative to the processes used so far in Spain in the field of reproductive medicine. We consider INVOcell to be an effective method of natural reproduction that involves the future mother at the very first moment of the process. We are confident that this innovative treatment will help many patients to choose this new alternative solution to achieve their dream of forming a family by actively participating in the reproductive process.” According to the World Bank, Spain, with total population of approximately 47 million people, has one of the lowest fertility rates in Europe, affecting approximately 15% of the population, or one in seven couples of reproductive ages. According to reports, in 2010, there were approximately one million couples requesting assisted reproductive treatment, however only 22% received one or more assisted reproductive treatment cycles. The average waiting time for an IUI or IVF cycle in a public health facility was 339 days.
