Truth be told, it's not clear if SK3 Group Inc. (OTCMKTS:SKTO) is best described when compared to a name like Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ:CERN), or to a Gentiva Health Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:GTIV). The company's got elements of both major industries being represented by CERN and GTIV (home health care, and information technology), with the addition of another budding industry thrown into the mix. One thing IS clear though... SKTO shares have decidedly reversed a nasty downtrend, and may now be one of the market's best small cap healthcare speculative trades.
Don't sweat it if you've never heard of SK3 Group. Most investors probably haven't, primarily because the company wasn't doing anything (almost literally) until the first quarter of this year. That's when SKTO posted its first revenue in years, on the heels of more open-minded laws regarding the usage of what the company describes as "alternative care and medicine"... which is the politically correct way of saying "medical marijuana". The company acquired another company called Medical Greens, and within a week had booked more than $30 million worth of management and logistics service contracts. By the end of Q1, SK3 Group Inc. had generated sales of $4.7 million, and logged a top line of $13.43 million for the second quarter of this year.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Bryan Murphy]
If the name Ibio Inc. (NYSEMKT:IBIO) rings a bell, it may be because I put some bullish thoughts into print regarding the stock back on June 21st. I reiterated my optimism on July 12th. What can I say? It's fun to be right. IBIO shares have advanced 17% since my first look in late June. Then again, most of that big jump has unfurled in the last couple of days, meaning Ibio Inc. is overbought. Do we trust the breakout move, or do we fear a pullback? Answer: That depends.
