MTIZ is thin right now which means it's also very volatile, so always make sure you understand the risk factor with lower priced stocks before you ever attempt anything and consult with your financial professional.

MTIZ low price also makes it a candidate for huge gains.  In the past 2 months MTIZ has traded at levels 200% higher than where it is now so it may eventually test those levels again!!

The healthcare business is a very profitable business.  You see a doctor for 5 minutes and they bill you an outrageous amount.  This is also why they have money to spend on heathcare IT.

"Healthcare IT, which streamlines healthcare decision-making and the limitations of paper-based processed and traditional record-keeping, is set to surge from a national market valued at $1.8 billion in 2005 to one approaching $7 billion in 2010..." - Kaloroma Information.

MTIZ's solution for total electronic integration for a single medical diagnostic testing facility can save them approximately $300k per year.

MTIZ's managed solution overcomes 3 large barriers: cost, complexity of implementation, and support.

MTIZ recently stated they are positioned to capitalize or a portion of the Economic Stimulus Bill.

The plan allocates $20B to encourage the adoption of health information technology including payments to physicians who can demonstrate they are using electronic heath records (EHR) systems as Metiscan provides for diagnostic imaging facilities.

MTIZ's EHR system enables diagnostic imaging facilities to share radiological information between referring physicians, diagnostic imaging facilities, and radiologists electronically. The EHR incentives, as outlined in the economic stimulus bill, entitle physicians to reimbursement for implementation of the EHR system.

As you can see there's an incentive for Doctors to adopt an electronic system.  Now only does this cut back on huge amounts of paper it makes managing data between offices more efficient.

MTIZ has 2 main systems.

Metiscan's Radiology Information System is a web-based software application that enables imaging centers to streamline their operations and securely manage the flow of patient data in real-time, from any location with internet access.

The RIS software is a rules-based workflow manager that directly uploads clinical paperwork to create electronic patient records. From scheduling to final report, the system replicates data from the initial order to multiple downstream transactions - this single point of entry reduces keystrokes, creates critical error free data and ensures the most efficient management of all aspects of radiology services.

The other system:

Teleradiology uses the Internet for secure electronic transmission of medical images to a remote site for diagnosis. By utilizing teleradiology, patient images are available for diagnosis immediately after the patient is scanned. This service is a more efficient use of medical resources that enhances and speeds the delivery of patient care.

Obama Budget Plan's Impact On Biotech Stocks...

Biotech stocks have been one of the best performing groups over the past several months, and have been showing great relative strength versus the S&P 500. However, a large portion of biotech stocks came under intense selling pressure in late February, and many stocks fell right through prior support levels on a large increase in volume. What could have caused this dramatic selloff?

It is important to note that the price for any given stock is the culmination of all market participants weighing in on all the data that is currently known, and what they believe will occur in the future. The markets are constantly in flux as they "price in" any changes to this data as quickly as possible. Usually, the larger the move, the more surprised market participants are by the data.

In late February, President Barack Obama released new details of his 2010 budget plan. In the plan, he called for access to cheaper generic versions of biotechnology medicines. He also stated that his administration would prevent deals that block generic alternatives and that the amount of market exclusivity would be consistent with the Hatch-Waxman law, which provides five years of patent exclusivity, which is much shorter than the 14 years that brand-name companies have been pushing for. Obviously, this news wasn't taken too well by investors, and many biotech stocks declined sharply.

Amgen (Nasdaq:AMGN) for instance, dropped more than 10 points just a few days after the budget plan was announced. It's interesting to note that, on the initial move lower, AMGN also broke down from a large triangle base it was consolidating in. There are several negative aspects to this chart that are worth watching in the coming weeks. Notice that AMGN set a lower pivot low, and has the faster moving averages breaking under the longer term 200-day moving average. It is now bouncing back into resistance levels on declining volume.



Celgene (Nasdaq:CELG) is another biotech that broke down from a triangle base after the budget plan was announced. A trader wouldn't necessarily need to know the catalyst for the breakdown, or even have to understand the implications of what was stated in the plan. The chart tells a trader very clearly that something is not right and that market participants are selling. Notice that CELG also has its moving averages bearishly aligned and is bouncing into resistance on declining volume.




Sequenom (Nasdaq:SQNM) is another biotech that has suffered through a nasty pullback over the past month. In fact, SQNM was showing signs of weakness well before the most recent pullback. Notice the exhaustion gap in September, after a nice rally that more than doubled the stock price. The stock quickly reversed and tested the 200-day moving average. It then attempted to rally, but rolled over, setting a lower high instead. Now it is starting to decline again, only on higher overall volume, setting up a large possible double top. The 50-day moving average is close to crossing over the 200-day moving average which is often called a death cross. The one contradiction I see in this chart is that the highest volume days over the past two months have been on positive days.




Biogen Idec (Nasdaq:BIIB) is another biotech stock that sold off on the budget plan news. It is not as weak as the others, but there are still several negative aspects to the chart. Notice how it reversed after testing the 200-day moving average, and broke under a small consolidation area. It has been alternately using the 200-day moving average as resistance and support, and has now fallen under that average. This is also another case of a stock bouncing into resistance on declining volume.




While the catalyst for such a broad move is often hard to pinpoint, in looking at the reaction for Teva Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:TEVA), it is quite clear that the threat of lower prices for generic alternatives is the main driver. TEVA experienced an opposite reaction to the news and traded higher, clearing a consolidation base in the process. Volume is picking up and the 50-day moving average is close to crossing over the 200-day moving average, which is often called a golden cross. The reason TEVA is reacting positively to this news is that it is a maker of generic drugs.



Bottom Line
Each of these stocks experienced a move that was correlated to a news event, and while the catalyst is not always apparent, the reaction is usually quite clear. Regardless of the event, it is always important to pay attention to the reaction, as this is what moves price. As traders, we must check our opinions at the door and follow the price action. The charts always show the reaction and allow traders to see what is occurring objectively.

Will these stocks continue to be under pressure, or was the reaction overblown? Tune in to the charts to see what happens next and, more importantly, profit from it. Join us in the 3SOF Community to weigh in on what you think will happen.

This Week's 5 Dumbest Stock Moves
April 17, 2009
Stupidity is contagious. It gets us all from time to time. Even respectable companies can catch it. As I do every week, let's take a look at five dumb financial events this week that may make your head spin.


1. Stupid analyst tricks
This week's incomprehensible analyst call comes from Pali Capital's Stacey Widlitz. She downgraded shares of Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) -- from "neutral" to "sell" -- fearing that a weak March for retail is going to eat into the stock's recent gains.

Circuit City completes its liquidation -- a superstore rival that moved $11.1 billion worth of consumer electronics in fiscal 2008 -- and she's down on the likely beneficiary? Consumer confidence is on the upswing, and she is down on the electronics niche that even bears the "consumer" name?

The call would make sense if Widlitz had a good track record in pegging Best Buy's direction, but she blew it just last month. The day before the retailer posted its results for the fourth quarter, she told clients to expect a pullback. Nope. The stock jumped 13% after a better-than-expected report the following day


2. Don't put all of your eggs in a war-crafted basket
Shares of The9 (Nasdaq: NCTY) were slammed this week after it was revealed that the company would be losing its exclusive license to host World of Warcraft in China. NetEase.com (Nasdaq: NTES) will take over once The9's contract runs out in June.

This is a small victory for NetEase, because it's already a major player in online gaming in China. It's a big loss for The9. Despite the company's efforts to roll out proprietary games and license third-party content, World of Warcraft remains the key driver. It had years to use the blockbuster franchise as a tool to diversify, but hasn't done enough to prove that it can be successful without it.



3. The mill kill cult
This week's incomprehensible buyout rumor comes from Wedge Partners and TheFlyOnTheWall, who claimed to hear chatter about Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) buying China's SINA (Nasdaq: SINA).

This doesn't pass the sniff test on many different levels. SINA is in the process of acquiring an out-of-home advertising business that focuses on billboards, elevator posters, and monitors in high-traffic areas. Is this really Microsoft's future?

The deal also seems unlikely because the last time that Microsoft was sniffing around for even a partial stake in a leading new media company in China, regulators had fits. Who knows, in a few years the rumor may be that SINA is buying Microsoft?



4. Short people have no reason
Short interest at Sirius XM Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) has ballooned to 181 million shares as of the end of March, a 13% spike from the 162 million shares sold short two weeks earlier.

Of the four Nasdaq-listed companies with the greatest short interest by share volume, Sirius XM is the only one to see an increase in bearish bets since mid-March.

This is actually good news for Sirius XM, because shorts need to ultimately cover their positions. It's also the largest short position in the company since the end of January. It was shortly after that when Sirius XM bottomed out at $0.05 a share. The stock has popped eightfold since then. So the dumb nod here goes to the shorts, sadly unaware of the new short squeeze they are nurturing.


5. Run your own business, please
GameStop (NYSE: GME) CEO Dan DeMatteo hit the CNBC airwaves, suggesting that console makers lower their prices to cope with the recession.

It may seem like an innocent comment, until you realize how self-serving it is. Hardware is a thin-margin business at GameStop. The company truly scores in game sales, scoring its thickest margins in pre-played/used sales. PS3 and Xbox 360 systems are supposedly being sold at a loss by the console companies, and GameStop wants them to take a bigger hit, so GameStop can sell more games?

If GameStop were so concerned about tightening operations in a recession, you would think that it would squeeze itself -- and narrow the wide disparity between its trade-in and resale prices -- first.

This Is Still A Trader's Market...
If you're thinking about going long term think again.  The economy is still very unstable and in MHO it will take 1-2 years before things get back on track.

Right now short term profits is the way to go.  If you make a profit don't be shy to take it.  The market doesn't go straight up so any run that last 3-5 days could retrace.

I would also advise against holding stocks into earnings.  Holding a stock through earnings is a huge risk and not worth it. JMHO of course.......
