Hepion (HEPA) Banked $88 Million Yesterday, Citius (CTXR) Banks $78 Million Today.
We’re beginning to believe (and it may be a “brief-belief”) that during a bull market and assuming you like the underlying company – tremendous buying opportunities can be created when certain companies do a “down round.”
While some investors look at it with a negative eye, we look at it as a corporate re-birth. And if the ‘re-birth’ analogy doesn’t work for you, think of our prior analogy of an Indy 500 race car stopping for fuel with many miles in the race left to go.
(PS. The average race car can go 40 laps between fueling, and we can go about 40 minutes between drinks – once our 60-day post stem-cell treatment moratorium expires.).
One has to wonder what these institutional (mostly) buyers read about their ongoing clinical trials (yes, all publicly available), to motivate them to pump a combined $168 million in these two relatively young companies. Like, what’s the hurry? Hmm, inquiring minds want to know.
The potential is so large in these financing-related events, we have an MIT student creating a ‘day-of’ down round alert system for us. In fact he already gave us another idea – a relatively unknown company which just raised $54 million, that we are studying now!
Hepion (HEPA) which is looking at solutions for fatty-liver, and Citius (CTXR) which is looking at solutions for bacteria infected catheters – are both looking like one of those opportunities. And as a bonus, if an investor is a ‘size’ buyer in either – they can typically get as much as they please, without running up the share price with their own buying.
