Penny Stock Pick - SNTA

Shares of Synta Pharmaceuticals(SNTA) jumped 6.18% today on bargain hunting following two days decline as the result of the company's disappointing second quarter loss announced on Monday. The stock is currently trading not very far from its 52 week low of $2.55 last month and less than half of the 52 week high last December.

From the financial side the mounting loss wasn't a good sign but the cash position of $48.7 million should be sufficient to carry the company over to next year. The dropping in revenue from $4.6 million to $3.3 million also did not sound like good news.

Although the technical chart still show weakness as the stock is still trading below 50 day MA, the stock shows support at $2.7 and as the stock is near the 52 week low, this could be a safe time to buy.

The insider transactions show positive sign as company directors and officers bought many shares in June between $2.8 and $3.91 per share. The August 5 sell of 4000 shares is something to watch because if that marks the beginning of insider sells, it could be bad sign for the company that just reported bad earning.

I have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If theirs anyone interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to comment about the future of the stock market theirs always bargains in the stock market you just have to be willing to take the time to find them. Speaking of stocks under one dollar that worked out for me. I recently sold my shares in vonage holdings corporation for 5 dollars. I bought the shares in 2009 for 37 cents. This was a rare exception to the general rule most of the stocks trading under 1 dollar are not good investments. The way that you find low priced stocks that are worthy investments is to have as much knowledge and experience as possible about these type of securities. Only than can you profit tremendously from these stocks.
