    That doesn't mean a lot without reading the article.

    I am curious how they assessed inflammation using a pill cam, with any degree of sensitivity or specificity. There must be significant inflammation to be visible macroscopically and big difference between the control/intervention to tell them apart.

    The biochemical markers may be statistically significant, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's clinically significant.

Since then a2 has had one of its three major distribution channels, the daigou channel, severely impacted by flow on effects from COVID-19 and increased competition. The company remains on watch for signs that management have the situation back under control."

    Milford's moves are well worthwhile taking note as they have a rather rigorous process in place before they invest in or divest out of any investment.

    Another major holder Fisher funds and its managed KFL also reduced position just before the December downgrade ...but they still hold it 8% of the fund ..No 5 largest holding ...they also have rigorous process of stock selections

    TA tells us another panic bottom is needed ...which can cause that ? Still its not gone below second panic bottom of 10.47 yet ...holding around 10.80 levels ...but with a downward bias .

    Maybe market waits for HY results announcement ...HY value we know but thats first opportunity for company to address future guide

    That maybe the trigger on both side big movement

    I personally think if ATM had not Halted trading for 2 days then 10.47 panic would not have happened

    Thanks. I fear the old adage might come true.

    That makes sense to me. Doesn't conventional wisdom suggest you should wait until an uptrend is confirmed before entering? Or have I misunderstood something?
