Technical Buying Detected At Cellectar Biosciences Inc

Nano-cap Cellectar Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:CLRB) is the beneficiary of some technical buying today, as its stock is 32% higher in the morning frame despite there being no fundamental news concerning the company. The only meaningful news last week was Cellectar Biosciences issuing a press release announcing that the company was making progress on its U.S. patent for Phospholipid-Ether Analogs as Cancer Targeting Drug Vehicles. Two funds out of the 766 funds that Insider Monkey tracks owned $507,000 worth of Cellectar Biosciences’ stock at the end of the first quarter. As with all nano-caps, investors should do their due-diligence before buying.
