Top 10 Low Price Stocks To Watch For 2019

Many stocks have been beaten down to very low prices due to tax selling, creating bargain basement opportunities, suggests Fred Fuld, editor of stockerblog.

In fact, looking at stocks that are selling below cash is one the way to go to make profits. Here is what it means when a stock sells below cash per share.

First, assuming the company has no debt, you take the amount of cash that the company has in the bank and divide it by the outstanding number of shares. That represents the cash per share.

If a stock is trading for less than that amount, it is a bargain, because if the company went out of business immediately, everything would be liquidated and disbursed on a per share basis.

Even if all the company’s inventory, equipment, and real estate were worth nothing, all that cash would provide the investor with a profit.

Top 10 Low Price Stocks To Watch For 2019: Biotricity (BTCY)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Peter Graham]

    For small cap investors, Biotricity Inc (OTCQB: BTCY) is a good example of an up-and-coming Internet of Medical Things stock that is looking to cash in on the coming transformation of health care. The Company is building a remote patient monitoring platform comprised of three key components tailored to a variety of diagnostic and post-diagnostic applications:

    Earlier this month, the Apple Watch Series 4 having a heart monitoring function approved by the FDA generated a large amount of attention from the media; but is that heart monitoring function all that its cracked out to be and what does it mean for other heart monitoring makers like small cap Biotricity Inc (OTCQB: BTCY)? Note that the Series 4 includes two new FDA-cleared features: An over-the-counter ECG app that monitors heart rhythms and an “irregular rhythm notification feature” that “analyzes pulse rate data to identify episodes of irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib).” However, HealthNewsReview.org has a post (What did journalists overlook about the Apple Watch ‘heart monitor’ feature?) reviewing some of the media coverage and was somewhat critical of all the hype. The post noted:

    Small cap Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) company Biotricity Inc (OTCQB: BTCY), which is building a remote patient monitoring platform, has just released operational updates for fiscal Q2 2018 (which ended September 30, 2018). To begin with, Bioflux 1.0 (which is a high-precision, single-unit mobile cardiac telemetry or MCT device that provides real-time monitoring and transmission of ambulatory patients’ ECG information) experienced record high sales growth and market expansion during the fiscal Q2 2018 – including a 150% increase in total device sales and a 75% increase in new customers from Q1. Existing customers continued to purchase additional units leading to a 62% increase in repeat customer orders from Q1.

    Small cap Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) company Biotricity, Inc (OTCBB: BTCY) has just announced that it will be expanding the scope of a previously approved clinical investigation of fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) to include maternal HRV and other key physiologic metrics for maximum predictive accuracy and efficiency. This is potentially a good area to be in due to the fact that high-risk pregnancies require extensive monitoring and care during the gestational period. High-risk pregnancies are also on the rise and now account for 6 – 8% of all pregnancies in the U.S. due in part to a rise in existing maternal health conditions (such as high blood pressure and obesity) and older parental age at the time of pregnancy. This means that the maternal and fetal monitoring market is growing rapidly and is expected to be worth $2.3 Billion by 2019.
