"Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. is looking like a Buy again here as it is at the bottom of the shallow uptrend that has developed from the December low, and a stop may be placed beneath the lower rail of the channel. An additional reason for buying the company here that may lead to a bigger move is the good news out of it this morning that it is commencing clinical research with a psychedelic drug for stroke treatment."
