Recently I was in a stock called CING . They were in phase 3 clinical trials for their new ADHD drug. Phase 3 was postive results . The resistance was at around 2 usd. However the stock, also being a low float, was only able to manage to get around the 1.60ish area before now crashing down to .70 cents perhaps the lowest point its ever been. Before the news it was heavily shorted also.
I sold my shares before all this happened but Im so confused. Isnt phase 3 trials being positive a good thing for the company and its stock price??? And I could also understand if it came back down to its orginal area before the news which was at .90 ish but now its trading at .70 . So why did this happen to a company with such a low float and such amazing news in an wealth generating industry?
Someone said its because the company was selling its shares ATM to raise some capital for its adolescents phase 3 trials... The adult phase 3 trials was the one with positive news... Is this also a reason as well?
Sorry I am newb trying to learn the market. Any assistance or help would be of great value.
I'll attempt to assist.
As a trader you can fall in love or be interested in a stock for several reasons.
You may like the story, you may like the share chart, you may like the fundamentals.
But the bottom line for a trader is they think they can make money, so they buy in because they believe for a number of reasons share price will rise and you can sell later and become rich.
As a noob you have to understand one thing and one thing only, there are a huge number of very smart people involved in trading, not only traders but coders, bosses, employees, computer whiz kids, gamers etc.
If the share price is rising or falling, the news, the fundamentals, etc doesn't mean a lot, shares can rise on bad news and fall on good news.
The people in control of price control price to manipulate it, allowing it to rise to offload and fall to get a better bargain.
CING stock is falling, it has terrible turnover, no one is much interested in it other than perhaps shorters.
CING suffers from low liquidity and high volatility.
If you enjoy pain, then go ahead and attempt to trade this POS.
It's a penny stock pump and dumper and a lousy one at that too.
If you read any news articles about this stock beware the news is probably slanted heavily to suck in noobs.
Don't believe anything other than about 5% of what they spout on about on penny stocks.
From trading originally at $5 to now 80c in 20 months, there is nothing quality in this company, certainly not for an investor or long trader.
