Cerus Corporation (CERS)

[Awesome A]

I am long on the stock. However, I have been disappointed many times - just when the stock seems to be gaining traction, it gets "disappointing" news with the quarterly report and the stock takes a significant hit.

For this rally to continue, I believe that the 8/4 quarterly report has to at least meet Wall Street expectations - otherwise, the price may drop back to the high 5's lower 6's.

As to the Zika Virus, I wonder if this (combined with a recent report from a pennystock "newsletter") is artificially inflating the stock price. A good second quarter result would bolster some confidence in this stock starting a consistent run higher (perhaps it may trigger the short squeeze a lot of us have been waiting for).

Finally, it would be nice to get FDA approval for red blood cells - then the full potential of the product could be realized.
