I use Benzinga Pro for 90% of my research each day. I have recently subscribed to a LIFETIME subscription. This is incredible value. If this is something you’d be interested in then shoot me an email ([email protected]) and I’ll put you in touch with the Rep to receive the agreed price. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Honorable Mention to:

BSGM - Merging with Streamex Exchange to create on Chain Commodity markets. Commodity tokenization. I thought this would have more volume pre market. Noting mainly the involvement of Frank Guistra who is an industry heavyweight. He is a strategic advisor which may give this some legs. If it doesn’t go today it could be a good delayed reaction. Hot Theme Crypto/Tokenization. It broke out a few days ago so not neglected.

X-Ray: Industry Group: Medical Devices, Market Cap: 315.25M, Float: 16.46M Short Interest 7.90%, Days to Cover: 1.58, Exchange: NASDAQ, Inst Ownership: 29 total, 29 long only, 0 short only, 0 long/short - change of 26.09% MRQ

PROK - reported statistically and clinically significant topline results from its Phase 2 REGEN-007 trial evaluating Rilparencel in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Neglected, large base, low priced stock. High short interest and DTC.

X-Ray: Industry Group: Biotechnology, Market Cap: 177.52M, Float: 94.19M Short Interest 17.84%, Days to Cover: 14.84, Exchange: NASDAQ Inst Ownership: 176 total, 175 long only, 0 short only, 1 long/short - change of -2.23% MRQ

LASE - Revenue Surges 208% Year-Over-Year to $2.3 Million as Company Capitalizes on Expanding Market Opportunities Across Defense, Medical and Industrial Sectors. Another low priced stock. Neglected, low float, Pre market high of $3.60. Needs to push above $2.80 in market hours for B/O. Has low Avg Dollar volume usually. Nothing 5 Star about any of these just trying to pick out potential today.

X-Ray: Industry Group: Specialty Industrial Machinery, Market Cap: 34.12M, Float: 5.45M Short Interest 10.52%, Days to Cover: 3.92, Exchange: NASDAQ, Inst Ownership: 30 total, 30 long only, 0 short only, 0 long/short - change of -9.09% MRQ

Delayed Reaction Watchlists:

Market Awareness

I expect more choppiness in the markets today. You can see by the breadth charts below we likely won’t have a ton of follow through short term. FOMC tomorrow might get us moving but I think Earnings Season will decide the direction or lack of direction in the market.

Still don’t see anything 5 Star today. Its all crypto treasuries and general Bullshit. Which is fine but they’re faking out too catching the overeager trader. Concentrating on delayed reaction options for the most part and conscious of the FOMC tomorrow. Unlikely to do a huge amount.

Watching AEHR earnings after the close.

PS: There are many ways to trade stocks in play. It does not have to be the one that keeps going straight up and sometimes it doesn’t even have to be day one of the catalyst. Everyone must find a setup, timeframe and method that works for them. This list is supposed to educate on the criteria I use and the methods in which I find Stocks in Play. Yours may differ and that is completely okay.
