5 Best Healthcare Technology Stocks To Watch For 2014

Beer Man is a weekly profile of beers from across the country and around the world.

This week: JP's Yabba Dhaba Chai Tea Porter

Stevens Point Brewery, Stevens Point, Wis.

www.jpbrewery.com

James Page started a brewery featuring his name in 1986 in Minneapolis, but it was never able to take hold and was sold to different owners through the years. Much of the product was contract-brewed at other breweries.

Stevens Point Brewery in Wisconsin bought the James Page name in 2005 and recently has used the brand to introduce new beers into the market. I reviewed JP's White Stout last year; not bad with its golden color and aroma of a pilsner but stout flavors.

JP's Yabba Dhaba is based on chai tea, that delicious concoction of tea, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, vanilla and milk that is just as good hot in cold months as it is ice cold during the hot summer. Recipes for it differ and various spices can be added or subtracted.

    Two names worth considering here are Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO  ) and Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN  ) . Thermo Fisher makes the list as it's in the process of purchasing Life Technologies (NASDAQ: LIFE  ) for $13.6 billion. In early 2012, Life Technologies introduced the Benchtop Ion Proton Sequencer, which is capable of delivering same-day genome results for just $1,000! Illumina, on the other hand, has researchers' bases covered from all ends. It offers four high-end sequencing machines, a lower-priced sequencer (MiSeq), and can handle cloud-based data to formulate decoding. These two companies could be the cornerstone of nCoV research!

    World-renowned scientist J. Craig Venter -- the private hand behind the Human Genome Project, founder of the insanely innovative J. Craig Venter Institute, Synthetic Genomics, and SGI-DNA (a gene synthesis company) -- just tossed his hat into the ring. Venter announced the formation of Human Longevity, or HLI, the purchase of two HiSeq X 10 sequencing platforms from Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN  ) , the anticipated hiring of 100 new employees in 2014, and an initial investment of $70 million. The company wants to compile the world's largest database of genotype, microbiome, and phenotype information (each a type of genetic data). Sound familiar?

    One under-$10 Internet services player that's starting to move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade is Demand Media (DMD), which focuses on an Internet-based model for the professional creation and distribution of content at scale. This stock has been hit hard by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off by 44%.

    If you take a look at the chart for Demand Media, you'll notice that this stock has recently formed a triple bottom over the last month, with shares finding buying interest at $4.80, $4.72 and $4.88 a share. Shares of DMD have now started to spike higher off those support levels, and the stock is quickly moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DMD if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.39 to $5.46 and then once it takes out its 50-day moving average at $5.76 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 681,665 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then DMD will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6.50 to $7 a share. Any high-volume move above $7.14 would then give DMD a chance to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from June that started near $8.50 a share.

    Traders can look to buy DMD off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $4.88 or at $4.72 a share. One can also buy DMD off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
