(OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a>) is a high-loyalty pharmaceutical ticker that is inching toward a border price, 50 cents. On Thursday&#8217;s short hour of trading, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> reached 47 cents, adding a tentative 1% to the price, on dollar volumes a bit below $500,000. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> is on track to close a gap from the summer months, when it failed to deliver the expectations of investors. Now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> is heading toward a new round of financial announcements, and this usually provides a few good days of trading. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/APPA1108.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"APPA1108.png\" title=\"APPA1108.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> was inflated beyond proportion by a promotion in March, and swung up and down in the summer months between 30 and 50 cents. Now, the company came in with a small change to its management, adding Paul Marshall as senior vice president, and Brian Drazba as vice-president of finance. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/APPA1108.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"APPA1108.png\" title=\"APPA1108.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> still has not managed to complete its promise to list to a higher-tier exchange. But if this happens, the shares may expect a serious boost. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> still does not even have a date for the second submission of NASDAQ documentation- and this also means another press release in the making, potentially riling up investors.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> continues to be burdened by the usual challenges of an ambitious pharmaceutical developer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $53,506,000 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>total assets: $55,172,000 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>revenue: $0 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>liabilities: $4,1 million <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>net loss for 2012: $23 million <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And traditionally, the gap last spring came in after a letter from the FDA showed that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=APPA\">APPA<\/a> anti-nausea drug may be slowed down significantly, delaying marketing further in time.<\/p>\n<p>Another ticker that has been struggling to fill its gap is Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TTNP\">TTNP<\/a>), but instead of a good and confident run, the shares have gained and retreated erratically in the past weeks. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=TTNP\">TTNP<\/a> touched $1.20, but went on to lose to $0.75, as the red trend accelerates.<\/p>\n<p>At a lower price range, another staple of the sector, Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=ACTC\">ACTC<\/a>) plays its drama between 6 and 7 cents. In the past months, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=ACTC\">ACTC<\/a> runs small upward trends that are quickly obliterated, sometimes even in a day. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=ACTC\">ACTC<\/a>, headed by Dr. Robert Lanza, is testing the patience of investors by promising big, yet remaining in the development stage.<\/p>\n<p>If you still want exposure to the pharmaceutical sector, those three tickers are a good indicator of sentiments. Many others pop up with fast gains, and it is common for all to rise on enthusiasm and exuberance, only to retreat at the first bad news. Avoid investing unless you can also afford the bad news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AP Pharma, Inc.
