Top Dollars for Top Management Skills

Four Biotechs Breaking Out
Biotech stocks we follow were big movers Tuesday, and here are four to watch for continued upside.
REGENXBIO Inc. (RGNX) exploded up 18%, or $5.95, to close at $37.40 on very heavy volume of 1.2 million shares traded Tuesday. That is more than three times its average volume. The move was a follow-through from Monday’s surge that came on news that business partner, AveXis (AVXS), also in the gene therapy space, is being acquired by Novartis. Next target is $40-41.
Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (TNDM) tore up 22%, or $1.29, closing at $7.01 on huge volume of 6.6 million shares traded. That is more than four times its average volume. The move came as the medical device company announced preliminary financial results indicating insulin pump shipments increased by 56 percent and sales by 42 percent in the first quarter of 2018 compared the first quarter of 2017.

S&P 500 E-mini Futures Index Stalls Below Resistance
As at 6:30 pm ET tonight (April 11) the S&P 500 E-mini Futures Index (ES) is trading just below a couple of intraday resistance levels, namely, 2649.51 (40% Fib retracement level) and 2660 (triangle apex), as shown on the following 60 minute (extended hours) chart. The momentum indicator is just above zero.
We’ll need to see a clear break and hold above or below this triangle, with corroborating momentum, to gauge direction and sustainability. Whether that happens by Friday is anybody’s guess at this point, particularly with the Syria issue still developing.
