American Sierra Gold Corp. is an independent gold exploration company. Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, their focus is on the strategic exploration and potential development of North American properties. Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Company explores in the Sierra gold belt of northern Mexico. This area has a rich history of large gold and silver discovery.
American Sierra Gold Corp. has a 90 percent interest in 11 concessions in the Sierra Madre Gold Belt. Covering 71,364 acres, they go by the name of the “Urique Project.” This land package represents the largest under-explored acreage in this region. The Urique Project is 10 miles north of the producing El Sauzal Gold Mine, which Gold Corporation owns. Gold Corporation previously purchased this mine from Glamis Gold as part of a transaction worth $8.6 billion in 2006. It has produced 274,200 – 306,900 ounces of gold per year over the past three years.
Last Friday, American Sierra Gold announced that they launched a new, more informative website under the domain name www.americansierragold.com. The new website will keep investors and other interested parties fully informed as the Company continues to move their projects forward.
Mr. Wayne Gruden, President and CEO of American Sierra Gold, brings over 20 years of investing in early stage resource companies. He also worked for nearly 25 years with one of Canada’s largest resource companies, Syncrude Canada. Mr. Ian Foreman is another key technical advisor to American Sierra Gold. Mr. Foreman has worked in a wide spectrum of geological environments involving both base and precious metals. He has worked for various mining and exploration companies in North and South America. He was a key figure in putting the 1,000 tonne-per-day Santa Rosa open pit gold-silver mine into production in Peru.
Today, American Sierra Gold Corp. announced the status of the Urique Project. The Urique’s South Zone consists of an epithermal vein district measuring 2 x 2 km in size with more than 15 historic mines identified to date. Initial sampling has yielded local bonanza grade gold and silver values with highlights of 86.0 g/t (grams per ton) gold and 8,290.0 g/t silver. Located in Urique’s North Zone, the Company’s Cerro Colorado Target is developing ahead of schedule. During its first year of exploration, this section has been advanced to drill-ready stage.
American Sierra Gold’s President and CEO Wayne Gruden sums up progress, saying, “We are excited over the progress being made in our Urique Project. We’ve already seen over 1.3 million dollars of development in the ground. This work is critical to establishing the size of the reserve on the property.”

ONE Holdings Corp. (ONEZ.OB) Announces Acquisition of Jianou Lujian FoodsStuff
Today, ONE Holdings Corp. announced it has closed on the acquisition of Jianou Lujian FoodsStuff Co. Ltd., effective September 27th, 2009. The announcement occurred under a letter of intent dated August 18, 2009.
ONE’s Vice Chairman and CEO, Marius Silvasan, stated, “Our objective was to close on the acquisition of JLF prior to the end of the third quarter and we did that. JLF is our third acquisition in the last three months. Through these initial key acquisitions we have set up a strong foundation and positioned ourselves with key operating assets which we expect will drive both strong organic and acquisition driven growth. Our focus is clear and is driven by our desire to acquire bioengineering companies located in the Asia Pacific region focused on chemical and herbal extracts, natural supplements and organic products.”
Mr. Silvasan added, “We have acquired in the last 3 months companies generating (based on their 2008 results) more than $50 million dollars in revenue, $11 million in operating income and $8 million in net income. Third quarter financial results will incorporate the results of our recently completed acquisitions and will have our company’s financial picture completely transformed.”
JLF, located in China, is an award-winning green-technology enterprise that specializes in the highly profitable production of organic products and bamboo fertilizers. The company holds land contracts of nearly 6,635 acres in Fujian province, one of China’s largest bamboo growing areas. The company is the third largest bamboo producer in China and is the first to gain food safety certifications from China (HACCP), Japan (JAS) and Europe (EFSA).
Recently, JLF formulated a “zero-to-zero” process starting from cultivation to distribution, including the development of organic fertilizers from bamboo skins to eliminate waste. The innovative process earned JLF the title of 2009’s”Forestry Enterprise of the Year” in Fujian Province China. JLF’s 2008 audited results include revenue, operating income and net income of $16.5 million, $6 million and $4.3 million respectively. During the first two quarters of 2009 JLF generated revenue, operating income and net income of $9 million, $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
“We are excited to join the ONE Holdings team. ONE adds industry knowledge, operating know-how, and valuable Wall Street connections to facilitate our access to funding required supporting our growth strategy,” commented Mr. Jinrong Tang, Chairman of JLF. “JLF has delivered strong operating results in 2008 and continues to outperform into 2009. Our products are exceptional in quality, competitive in pricing and in growing demand, establishing a strong platform to support our growth efforts,” added Mr. Tang.

Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories Inc. (CPD) Gets Back on Track in Generic Drug Market
Companies often stumble in certain areas only to come back stronger and more profitable as issues are addressed and overcome. In certain areas, this particular type of problem is more easily overcome then in others, especially when the profit potential is exceedingly large. The generic drug market is one such area and one that will be extremely profitable in coming years.
Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories Inc., a generic drug manufacturer, works to provide generic drugs to a host of mass merchant pharmacy outlets, warehouses, wholesalers and distributors. The company offers a wide array of generic prescription drugs targeted at main stream diseases.
Although the pharma sector has been finding solid successes of late and banked solid capital reserves, there is certain trepidation with regard to product going “off-patent” in the relative near-term. There are many new products to fill this “off-patent” issue, but many products that will leave the patent scenario have been highly profitable. In this regard, companies other than the patent owning companies will be able to benefit.
Caraco Pharmaceutical is one such company. It is also one that is very well diversified in terms of the generic drugs it offers. Conditions that the company offers product to include but are not limited to: analgesics, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antidiabetics, anti-gouts, antihypertensive/beta blockers, antipsychotics, anti ulcerants, cardiac, decongestants, and narcotic analgesics. The company’s therapeutic drugs also include nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents, opiate agonist/analgesics, oncology adjuncts, Parkinson’s disease, platelet aggregation inhibitors, sedatives and hypnotics, skeletal muscle relaxants and migraine headache suppressants.
As of 11:30 AM EST, the company is trading up 22.33%. Moving forward the company does appear to be offering product in many high value areas. Looking over past issues, it would appear that Caraco Pharmaceuticals is well positioned to take advantage of off-patent opportunities and will likely find solid profit opportunity in many high value areas.

Data Call Technologies, Inc. (DCLT.OB) Expands Its Network
In a time of general business contraction, Data Call Technologies Inc., key provider of real-time content for digital signage, has once again extended its market. The company recently announced that it is now delivery its digital signage products to Kingston, on the island nation of Jamaica. The move is seen as the latest step in Data Call’s ongoing Caribbean and European initiatives, and just the beginning of a major global outreach.
Jim Ammons, Data Call Technologies Chairman, commented, “We’re truly excited that our products are now being provided in Jamaica. We expect strong continued growth in the Caribbean nations as they seek to deliver real-time, dynamic, and relevant information to island visitors.”
The company also announced that it has now installed products in Hilo, Hawaii, another example of how island retailers, who face unique marketing challenges, are being brought into the digital age. This expands Data Call’s total U.S. distribution coverage to 37 states.
Helping to fuel the expansion is the fact that the cost of digital platforms, displays, and supporting infrastructure are falling dramatically, making digital signage increasingly attractive to a wider range of businesses. Digital signage is now recognized as the premiere method to connect people with relevant information, with the worldwide digital signage industry topping $2 billion, on its way to an estimated $3 billion by 2011.
Data Call plays an important role in the support of digital signage effectiveness by providing real-time content information feeds, helping to draw viewer attention to digital messages. Digital signs, including Data Call feeds, can be seen at airports, sports arenas, banks, clinics, car dealers, manufacturing plants, elevators, and, of course, on billboards. Their feeds can even be sent to cell phones.
Data Call is committed to expanding its product offerings, and plans to move into other vertical markets within targeted industries.

Anavex Life Sciences Corp. (AVXL.OB) Contracts FORENAP for Clinical Trials of Their Alzheimer’s Drug
Swiss-based drug company Anavex Life Sciences Corp. announced today that they have selected FORENAP Pharma as the contract research organization for Phase 1 clinical trials of ANAVEX 2-73, the company’s lead Alzheimer’s drug candidate.
FORENAP has been involved in pre-clinical and clinical research for 20 years and is renowned for its expertise in central nervous system studies, including Alzheimer’s disease. FORENAP will perform study setup, protocol review, site monitoring and project management for the trials. Rudy Luthringer, CEO of FORENAP, said, “We look forward to running a high-quality and cost-effective program as Anavex works to confirm its pre-clinical findings in a clinical setting.”
ANAVEX 2-73 has been shown in pre-clinical testing to be neuroprotective and anti-amnesic. It is thought that the drug impacts mitochondrial dysfunction and it may be mitochondrial protective. Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought by many researchers to be one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease.
Avanex Life Sciences is approaching Alzheimer’s disease from a different angle. The company’s unique approach with their drug focuses on addressing an underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease, unlike current drugs on the market that provide only symptomatic relief.
Dr. Herve de Kergrohen, CEO of Anavex Life Sciences, commented on the contract award to FORENAP, “The selection of a world-class contract research organization is an important milestone in our product development process and it underscores our commitment to advance ANAVEX 2-73 through Phase 1 clinical trials. We are moving forward into these trials based on the positive results of our pre-clinical testing, which demonstrated the compound’s significant disease-modifying potential and its powerful anti-amnesic and neuroprotective properties.”

Completion of these purchase orders is estimated to take place within 60 to 90 days from date of execution and will be reported as actual revenues in the fourth quarter report of this year. Working to build a dominating presence in the aftermarket automotive up-fitter segment, including “Pure Electric” vehicles, limousines, other livery, specialty fleet and classic automobiles, the company expects to have the first fully electric, zero emissions livery vehicle ready to unveil by first quarter of next year.
“We are beginning to receive a lot of attention and requests from municipalities wanting to discuss using our ‘Pure Electric’ conversion technologies for their livery and fleet vehicles,” stated Gary Spaniak, chief executive officer of Classic Costume Company, Inc. “Based on the level of interest from these potential customers, I feel confident that we will be a significant provider of ‘Pure Electric’ vehicles by the beginning of 2010.”

Hana Biosciences, Inc. (HNAB.OB) Attacks Pediatric Cancer
If there is one disease that has plagued our country and people across the globe, it would be cancer. Perhaps there is not a more tragic situation than when a child is stricken down with the deadly disease. One company is trying to make headway into Pediatric Cancer. That company is Hana Biosciences.
The San Francisco based Hana Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical company that has dedicated their resources and time to developing and commercializing new and differentiated cancer therapies with a plan to improve and enable standards of care amongst cancer patients. Hana took a major step towards achieving this goal with the announcement that they have entered into a Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) with the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) at the National Cancer Institute for the co-development of Marquibo which is a vincristine sulfate liposomes injection in refractory pediatric cancer.
The CTA will occur over five-years which will initially focus on a Phase I trial to evaluate the safety and optimal dose of weekly Marquibo in children and adolescents with refractory cancer. This will be followed by a Phase 2 trial in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) which is the most common carrier of childhood cancer. Hana anticipates that the Phase 2 trial will facilitate subsequent studies of Marquibo in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens with the hope that this will lead to improvements in childhood cancer in the future.
Hana Biosciences is led by Steven R. Deitcher M.D. who serves as President and CEO of the company and Anne Hagey M.D. who is the Chief Medical Officer. Deitcher is a renowned name in his field and has published more than 185 journal papers, abstracts and book chapters and has made more than 35 scientific conference presentations. He was the founding editor-in-chief of the journal Current Hematology Reports while Hagey has held a multitude of positions at Abbot Laboratories prior to joining Hana.
When asked about the impact of the Clinical Trial, Dr. Deitcher was quoted as saying, “This agreement expands the clinical development programs for Marqibo and will complement our pivotal Phase 2 rally clinical trial evaluating Marqibo for the treatment of adults with ALL in second relapse. Our combined effort with the NCI will further increase our understanding of Marqibo’s unique activity and ability to supplant standard vincristine in children as well as adults.”
Dr. Hagey added, “Our agreement with the NCI signifies the importance of vinca alkaloids like vincristine in the treatment of pediatric ALL and solid tumors like Wilm’s tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, and neuroblastoma. The ability to enhance the dosing, tumor penetration, and pharmacokinetic profile of vincristine by the Marqibo formulation has the potential to improve outcomes in children with cancer, a typically underserved area of drug development.”
Currently, Hana Biosciences is trading in the $0.57 range. With this new endeavor and a possibility to make advancements in Pediatric Cancer, Hana may become the over-the-counter gem that all investors dream about.

Omnicity Corp. (OMCY.OB) is “One to Watch”
Omnicity Corp. provides broadband access, including advanced services of voice, video and data, in un-served and underserved small and rural markets. The company aims to be the premier consolidator of rural market broadband nationwide. Leveraging management expertise, Omnicity’s strategy is to provide a total broadband solution and continue rapid growth through acquisitions, organic growth and partnerships with Rural Electric Municipal Cooperatives and Rural Telephone Companies.
The company’s target markets are locations better suited to wireless transmissions than traditional hard-wire operators. It has been estimated that at least 40 million rural and small market homes, businesses, government agencies and schools have inadequate high-speed Internet service, representing a large growth opportunity.
Building a nationwide wireless network, Omnicity will be able to deliver high-speed Internet access to rural subscrib¬ers more cost-effectively than traditional cable or fiber optic models since hard-wire systems are gener¬ally much more expensive to build than wireless networks. Reduced network development costs means lower infrastructure costs per subscriber for wireless operators as compared to comparably-sized traditional hardwire fiber-optic systems.
Omnicity is led by an experienced broadband operations team with extensive wireless broadband/ISP expertise as well as the capability to consolidate large numbers of businesses through a strategic roll-up strategy. Over the next five years, the company projects a growing customer base of 170,000 subscribers, increasing margins and growing revenues of nearly $87 million.

Magnum D’Or Resources, Inc. (MDOR) Fat Contracts Prompt Personnel Additions
Magnum D’Or Resources, Inc. is an innovator in rubber reprocessing with the logistical capacity to easily satisfy its 5-year, $131.2 million in open contracts for the production of rubber buffings and nuggets.
However, as Magnum President and CEO Joseph Glusic recently stated, the infrastructural expansion this capital represents demands the immediate retention of several key personnel.
• Dr. Hugh Campbell, Engineering and Science
• Curtis Basner, Operations and Procedure
• Thomas Hillmer, Environmental Compliance
• Paul Miles, Quality Assurance
• Donald Kot, Transportation and Procurement
• Donald Brinkmann, Architectural Design and Construction
Glusic expressed his excitement to be working with this team of “renowned consultants” and noted that each was a specialist in his field of expertise.
Magnum’s has its main 98,000-square-foot facility in Magog (Quebec) and an ancillary 120-acre location in Hudson, Colorado with buildings, equipment, commercially zoned land and a 30,000,000-tire inventory.
Magnum has access, through its proprietary technology and systems, to an emerging global market encompassing everything from industrial raw materials for consumer goods to playground surfacing material. This unprecedented leverage has them poised to revolutionize the massive devulcanization industry in North America and China.
Through its partner Sekhar Research Innovations (SRI), Magnum holds rights and patents to a series of next-generation compounds, techniques and equipment for the production of in-demand, “green” solutions to the waste management of scrap rubber. Having been granted exclusivity for North America, and future Global Rights to the vital compounds and processes necessary to produce the ultra-fine rubber nuggets and powders used to make Elastomeric Alloys (EAs), Magnum is in a lucrative position. These alloys are the first step for end-user products that meet established “green” standards.
Magnum/SRI has a firm grasp on their market sector, and their industrial capacity to produce value-added compounds – which are interchangeable in low tolerance environments without performance degradation – offers customers improved cost efficiency.

General Environmental Management, Inc. (GEVI.OB) Updates Investors on Progress to Enhance Business Strategy
This morning, General Environmental Management, Inc. updated the investment community with the progress made since its Board of Directors elected to shift the company’s business focus from hazardous waste field services to the fast growing water treatment and waste-to-energy markets.
“We are pleased to report that we have made tremendous progress in the execution of our plan to move the company into the water treatment and waste-to-energy markets,” stated Tim Koziol, GEM’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we announced last week, we swiftly moved to sign a binding letter of intent to acquire Santa Clara Waste Water (SCWW). We are conducting final due diligence and plan on closing this transaction on or before November 1, 2009. SCWW will be the cornerstone of our water treatment business. With this profitable business and the addition of GEM’s sales, marketing, operational and regulatory expertise, we believe that we can grow that business significantly in the coming years. In addition, we are actively pursuing two other complementary water treatment businesses that will give GEM even greater capacity to scale revenue.”
Mr. Koziol continued, “We believe that we have one of the best managed and operated field services companies in the country. This business has handled waste streams from some of the biggest companies in the country. We are focused on how to maximize the value of that business while we pave the way for GEM to build its high margin water treatment business and explore opportunities in the waste-to-energy technology market. Our management team has identified two outstanding waste-to-energy technologies that can turn today’s waste products into clean and efficient energy. We will be giving more details on these activities in the coming weeks.”
Mr. Koziol concluded, “Our strategy is very simple. First, maximize the value of our base field services business unit. Next, we will continue to reduce debt and improve the balance sheet. Finally, we will focus our attention on acquiring, licensing or partnering with water treatment and waste-to-energy companies to accelerate high margin revenue. We firmly believe that these strategic moves will best leverage our management team and create sustainable value for our shareholders.”

The Muscle Flex, Inc. (MFLI.PK) and Sterling Worldwide Entertainment’s Daytime Primetime TV Show Attracts Major Interest from Global Television Distributors
Muscle Flex Inc. and Sterling Worldwide Entertainment, LLC, a subsidiary of Visual Industries, Inc., announced together that their television show “Sugar Free,” which is currently in pre-production, has received significant interest from global television program distributors. According to the press release, they have already engaged the interested media conglomerates in discussions.
Muscle Flex and Sterling each hold a 50% ownership in “Sugar Free” and will equally share future revenues. Currently in the final stages of pre-production, the companies, upon completion, will pitch the show to major television networks and national cable stations for North American and International distribution.
The initial interest is credited to the timely and compelling program content of “Sugar Free” as well as the strong relationships Sterling can leverage in the global television space. Interest in “Sugar Free” is not limited to only program broadcasts, but also extends to sales and distribution of the “Sugar Free” DVD series.
Today, more than 21 million people (7% of the population) have diabetes and even more suffer from obesity and other illnesses. “Sugar Free” delivers real-life, practical solutions to anyone wishing to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Hosted by a top-rated TV celebrity, “Sugar Free” takes a fun, in-your-face approach to demonstrating sugar-free recipes, exercises, and how to maintain a sugar-free life at work events, lunches, and dinners. Celebrity guest appearances will help add variety and depth to keep programming fresh each day.
“Revenue derived from a television program like Sugar Free can be significant. With the huge success of such TV shows as ‘The Biggest Loser’ and ‘Celebrity Fit Club,’ diet and exercise shows have been spun into television gold,” stated Danny Alex, CEO of Muscle Flex Inc. “‘Sugar Free’ has it all — the information, ideas and personalized motivation to help viewers get healthy and stay that way. The show is truly different — it’s a cooking lesson, self-help talk show and reality TV all in one.”
Kira Baskerville, CEO of Sterling Worldwide Entertainment, added, “‘Sugar Free’ will be a show that will help many people worldwide live healthier, longer lives. Sterling is excited to bring ‘Sugar Free’ to the international market place with Muscle Flex.”
“Sterling not only possesses the talent and experience to develop an A-class daytime/primetime TV program but they also have long-standing relationships that can propel ‘Sugar Free’ into widespread distribution globally,” continued Danny Alex, CEO of Muscle Flex Inc. “Sterling has successfully launched health and wellness TV shows globally, including the U.K., Europe and the U.S. ‘Sugar Free’ is one of Muscle Flex’s best kept secrets and its potential has not been fully addressed by investors.”
Further details will later be released in order to protect proprietary content, ideas and information.

Savoy Energy Corp. (SNVP.OB) Finds Profit in its Ability to React in Any Condition
Given the current state of the energy markets, being a large company is not necessarily a good thing. Flexibility is a distinct advantage. Mid and larger energy companies tend to focus on larger properties where capital costs can be extreme, limiting the ability to adapt to changing conditions. As the book says, “small is beautiful.” In a variable market, a company that can adapt quickly is one that will be profitable.
Savoy Energy Corp., an oil and gas extraction company, works to extract and sell oil and gas primarily in the United States. The company recently signed agreements to explore for oil in Fiji.
Although the company is open to all potential properties, it is currently extracting and re-working existing wells in Gonzales, Texas. The company appears to be extremely structured in its operations with a particular focus on cost controls. Generally speaking, the company works with existing technology to bring closed wells back on-line. This process, and the way that the company approaches each well, allows it to keep costs low and cash flow moving in a positive direction. For the most part, the company has been working with smaller tracts of land, ranging in size from 82 acres to 485 acres. It also appears that the company is fairly choosy in the parcels it acquires, purchasing only those tracts it feels it can quickly and easily bring back on-line in short order.
The current state of the oil and gas markets dictates the need for flexibility and the ability to react to quickly changing conditions. In this sense, Savoy Energy is uniquely positioned. As the price of oil and gas move in an uncertain environment, the company is better positioned to react with less exposure if conditions worsen or improve. As companies in all sectors have found out, this is a particular advantage and one that can dictate success or failure. Savoy Energy Corp. has a very prudent and experienced team in place and appears to have found a plan that should keep it moving forward for some time to come regardless of conditions.

Cord Blood America (CBAI.OB) Up 45.45% Following Mention by QualityStocks
Cord Blood America Inc. (OTCBB: CBAI) is up 45.45% today, trading at $0.008. This upward move has occurred on absolutely incredible volume of nearly 1 billion shares! Just a few days ago – on September 25th, QualityStocks highlighted the company in its daily newsletter when the stock was trading for only $0.0031 per share. Cord Blood America is already up 150% in a few short days.
The surge in the company’s stock price followed not only the mention by the QualityStocks newsletter, but also recent news from Cord Blood America – a company which facilitates umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation for expectant parents and their children. The company reported that it is on schedule to complete the construction of its new Las Vegas laboratory by the first week of October. This lab will be perhaps one of the largest cryogenic storage labs in the US.
The subscriber base for the free QualityStocks Daily Newsletter continues to grow by leaps and bounds. From a modest start of only 100 subscribers in January 2006, there are now over 750,000 subscribers to the newsletter. The small cap and micro cap newsletter is like no other – readers are actually viewing data collected from hundreds of other newsletters.

Established in 2003, The TradeShow Marketing Company, Ltd. is a consumer products company. Their focus is on the development and distribution of unique products that have broad appeal and improve the lives of consumers. The Company operates a direct demonstration business via trade shows and exhibitions throughout North America. They also have various product-specific e-commerce web sites.

Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (JGBO.OB) Posts Strong Q4 and FY09 Results, High Expectancies for 2010
Jiangbo Pharmaceuticals Inc. today announced its fiscal and fourth-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2009. The China-based pharmaceutical company posted solid results for both periods and gave a summary of achievements for the year, as well as its outlook for 2010.
“We are delighted to report a strong finish to fiscal 2009, with revenues and operating income significantly exceeding our prior guidance for the year. We believe that the factors that contributed to this performance were strong sales from our new products and the successful restructuring of our sales and marketing network. With nearly $63 million in operating cash flow in fiscal year 2009, we ended the fiscal year with over $100 million in cash. We believe that our strong cash position will provide us with significant flexibility to pursue continued organic growth and strategic acquisitions,” Wubo Cao, chairman and CEO of Jiangbo stated in the press release.
Revenues grew 10.1 percent to $31.2 million, up from $28.3 million reported the same quarter the year prior. Net income increased 19.9 percent to $11.5, as compared to $9.6 million for the same quarter last year.
For fiscal year 2009 the company posted a 17.9 percent increase to $117.4 million, as compared to $99.5 million for fiscal 2008. Net income grew 28.6 percent to $28.9 million, as compared to $22.5 million for fiscal 2008.
In July 2008, Jiangbo received approval from China’s State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for the production and distribution of Radix Isatidis Dispersable Tablets, an herbal-based traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of viral influenza.
In January 2009, the company acquired Shandong Hongrui Pharmaceutical Company, including all assets and legal rights to distribute Hongrui’s 22 traditional Chinese medicines. The same month, Jiangbo revamped its sales network to accommodate distribution through 28 large regional distributors.
The company anticipates fiscal 2010 to far surpass fiscal 2008 and 2009, expecting revenues for the year between $96 million and $98 million based on the introduction of new drugs and higher volume of various product sales.
“Fiscal 2010 is expected to be a transitional year for Jiangbo as we upgrade our TCM production facility, prepare for the introduction of new drugs, and pursue additional opportunities for both organic growth and potential strategic acquisitions. Our current outlook reflects only the drugs that we have in hand today and will be subject to update as we execute strategic initiatives to expand our market position and profitability in the future. We remain very confident regarding our future growth prospects and look forward to sharing further details with our shareholders as our expansion plans reach a definitive stage,” Cao stated.

US, EU Demand for Oil Declines, Inventories Expected to Rise
With two sets of U.S. weekly oil statistics due out Tuesday and Wednesday expected to confirm fears of high inventories due to low demand, the price of oil dipped to the bottom of its 12-week range. A Reuter’s poll showing a 500,000 barrel inventory increase in the week to September 25 compounded middle distillate forecasts showing a 1.1 million barrel rise.
CEO of Saudi Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-run oil company, Khalid Al-Falih indicated Monday that demand from emerging markets and an uptick in China would not offset the loss in demand for oil for some time. Al-Falih also suggested that global consumption would not flag irrevocably and that higher oil prices were needed to fund concurrent development projects.
With the FTSEurofirst 300 broadly falling, U.S. and Brent crude futures were below $65 and $64 respectively by midmorning, Sept. 29. A rebound to $66.59 and $65.71 respectively followed at noon, due to a declining dollar driven by U.S. data showing poor consumer confidence. A Conference Board report detailed the worst job prospects in 26 years, underwriting the slowing demand for oil.
Oil prices have not yet jumped in reaction to rising international tension over OPEC’s second-largest producer, Iran, which recently test-fired a regional-strike-capable missile system on the heels of news about nuclear fuel production in southern Tehran.

General Environmental Management, Inc. (GEVI.OB) Offers Clients Waste Minimization Strategies
General Environmental Management Inc. is an environmental and waste management services firm which provides a suite of services for their clients including: field services, remediation, transportation, EHS compliance services, on-site technical services and off-site treatment for both hazardous and non-hazardous materials.
General Environmental assists its clients, which include both public and private institutions, in meeting regulatory requirements for the disposal of wastes. An ongoing, primary focus of the company is to find a reuse or recycle option for clients to reduce the burden of the disposal of waste in our environment.
Another primary focus of the company is waste minimization. What exactly is waste minimization? Waste minimization is any activity that reduces the amount of hazardous material that permanently leaves the production process as waste.
General Environmental considers waste minimization and waste reuse to be the peak of the waste management service pyramid. The company believes reducing waste should be the first consideration in any waste management strategy.
The reasons for institutions to develop a waste minimization plan include:
• Lower costs and greater efficiencies.
• Reduced government scrutiny and intrusion through a reduction in self-reporting obligations.
• Improved community relations through a more positive public image.
• Enhanced employee morale by creating a more inviting and safe work environment.
Waste minimization may include in-plant recycling and improvement of plant operating procedures along with source reduction. Source reduction includes both actions that reduce the net amount of hazardous waste generated and action taken before waste is generated that lessen its hazardous properties. Common source reduction strategies include: materials substitution, product substitution and reformulation, and process or equipment change.

A123 Systems, Inc. (AONE) is “One to Watch”
Headquartered in Watertown, Massachusetts, A123 Systems, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and battery systems. They do this for the transportation, electric grid services, and consumer markets. Founded in 2001, A123 Systems built their proprietary nanoscale electrode technology on initial developments from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A123 Systems, Inc. believes that lithium-ion batteries will play an increasingly important role in facilitating a shift toward cleaner forms of energy. They have developed a broad family of high-power lithium-ion batteries and battery systems using their innovative approach to materials science and battery engineering. Their low impedance Nanophosphate electrode technology provides performance advantages over alternative high power technologies.
Nanophosphate is a positive electrode material of excellent rate capability, critical to high power systems. A123 Systems, Inc.’s high power products are able to pulse at discharge rates up to 100C. They are of a low impedance and thermally conductive design. A123 high power cells can be continuously discharged at a 35C rate.
They designed their cell and electrodes to deliver low cost/watt and cost/watt-hour performance. They have higher voltage than other long-life systems, enabling lower pack cost (when compared to LTO and NiMh). In addition, their long life leads to reduced lifecycle and system costs.
The Company designed their Nanophosphate™ technology to be highly abuse tolerant. They have multiple layers of protection employed at the chemistry, cell, and pack level. This is to achieve an energy storage solution with superior safety and abuse tolerance compared to metal oxide lithium ion. A123 Systems projects their batteries to last up to 10 years. They are suitable for automotive applications including hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).

Understanding Sector Investing
QualityStocks follows many distinct market segments. Biotech to mining, the QualityStocks team works to address investment opportunity in its many forms. In this regard, the team understands diversification and that individual needs should be addressed by registered investment advisors.
The question begins with need and the certain understanding that diversification is paramount. There are distinct market segments to invest in. The leading segments include: industrials, commodities, technology oriented, biotechnology, fixed income (bonds, treasury securities, municipals), REITS (real estate) and a host of other ideas that financial workers have invented.
As one considers what questions to ask a registered investment advisor, think about risk. Although it may be a generalization, the industrials portion is generally considered to be the income portion of a portfolio. Dividends usually flow from these companies (although less of late given current economic circumstance). Municipals, treasuries and bonds also fall into this particular category of providing reliable income. Remember, however, that there are issues associated in this regard so be sure to ask a registered investment advisor about how costs and values can change.
If an investor wanted to invest on the more risky side they might want to consider commodities. Commodities are basically raw materials. These items might include: corn, sugar, gold, oil or natural gas. The thing to remember in commodities is that one does not necessarily need to invest in the actual product. They can also invest in the company that brings the product to market.
In between these two end-point there are a host of industries among which is technology. This area is a bit more difficult for the average investor to understand but can be profitable if approached correctly. In this segment understand the company and sector before investing. THE MAXUM OF NEVER INVEST IN ANYTHING YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND APPLIES HERE.
If an investor were to consider a conservative investment strategy, they might consider a fixed income option. If this is the case, consider a registered investment advisors advice. This is a safe move but one that may find ones capital drained by fees and other economic events. Diversification is the key in this case. Spread investments according to need and conditions and not just fixed income.
QualityStocks follows each area described. Information is the real key. If an investor can follow the sector trends that QualityStocks tends to offer, they may be able to better understand which market sectors might better suit their individual investing needs.

eDoorways Corp. (EDWY.PK) Helps Businesses ‘Mine’ for Gold Nugget Prospects
For small businesses in America, a huge gap exists between consumer practice and retail response. While nearly 75% of US consumers use the Internet while shopping for goods and services, only 44% of small businesses have a Web presence. In the online marketplace, small businesses tend to lag far behind the large e-retailers and local competition.
Gary K. Kimmons – founder, chairman, president and CEO of eDoorways – spoke to the reasons why small businesses lag behind in their online presence, “Small businesses often lag behind the competition due to lack of computer know-how and inability to adapt their messaging, resulting in a failure to make vital connections in the online marketplace.”
But now there is a solution for small business owners. eDoorways, a revolutionary new business-to-consumer social network website that makes instant connections between small businesses and pre-qualified, gold nugget sales prospects. The company’s next generation networking interface is unique in that it delivers a real-time collaborative problem-solving venue with capabilities for instantaneously sourcing correct information, products, services and solutions.
In addition, vendors can ‘rent’ or ’sublease’ certain “PowerKeys” (e.g. “bottled water”, “private tutor”, etc.) to generate more prospects and business. This feature, in effect, creates an ‘economy’ within the platform beyond the selling of advertising or individual buy-sell events.
eDoorways will open its initial SOLVE doorway, covering the Austin, Texas market, on October 1, 2009. A market-by-market national rollout is expected to follow. Mr. Kimmons of eDoorways said, “We envision eDoorways as a machine that formalizes how businesses reach prospective buyers in the most efficient way possible. We’re interested in using the Internet as a grassroots economic development tool that will rally and empower America’s small businesses, drive commerce, and encourage job creation.”

China Armco Metals Inc. (CNAM.OB) Receives Speculative “BUY” Recommendation from Toro Research
China Armco Metals is a leading distributor of imported metal ore with a plan of action to launch a new state of the art scrap metal facility in their home country. With their unique business structure, China Armco has caught the attention of Toro Research which issued a speculative buy on the company.
According to the Toro Research Report, the recommendation was based primarily on China Armco’s revenue performance for the first half of 2009 as it relates to current market trends in the commodity industry and the company’s expanding growth. Within the Toro Report, China Metals received a rating of 8.5 out of 10, which is a strong rating for the young company. With this kind of research and positive news being generated, China Metals may become a global power before too long.
While the revenue performance in the first half of 2009 played a critical role in the report, many investors feel that another reason for the China Metals’ rating was the recent announcement of completing delivery of iron ore pursuant to a contract that will generate sales of close to $16 million in the third quarter of 2009.
When asked about the recent delivery, China Metals CEO and Chairman Kexuan Yao was quoted as saying, “We are pleased to deliver larger sized orders to the steel industry as we look to build on the strong sales efforts we are making in the third quarter. We are carrying strong momentum into the busiest sales period of the year for our industry and remain very optimistic about our prospects for the remainder of this year and into 2010. We believe the environment for our customers remains strong and our anticipated metals recycling business launch places the company in a position to experience record performance in the coming years.”
Currently, China Metals is trading in the $3.07 range and has soared far beyond its 52-week low of $0.32. With the speculative rating of “Buy” from Toro Research and strong revenue numbers, China Metals may be a diamond in the rough.

Muscle Flex, Inc. (MFLI.PK) Readies Direct Response TV Infomercials for New Products, Coinciding with Several Major National Promotions
Muscle Flex Inc. announced this morning that it will be releasing The BUDDY Tablet Caddy(TM) and the Beagle StepFit(TM) Pedometer simultaneously in early November. The company gave two primary reasons for this release strategy:
1. Muscle Flex decided to run both commercials in the same markets so that each product reinforces the other in terms of corporate and product awareness.
2. Muscle Flex has lined up a number of high profile national promotional events that will bring significant market awareness to the Muscle Flex brand as well as both products simultaneously. These high profile promotional events have yet to be announced.
Believing that it can dramatically affect the sales numbers of each product through congruent and paralleled marketing campaigns, Muscle Flex has scheduled a number of very high profile promotions that will bring added awareness. The goal is to expand the BUDDY Tablet Caddy and The Beagle StepFit into the same markets and then release new products in the markets that Muscle Flex has well established corporate and product awareness.
“The strategy is a simple one in that we want each product to reinforce the other and bring the additional consumer awareness, not only to the products, but to Muscle Flex as a trusted and recognized health, fitness and lifestyle brand,” stated Danny Alex, CEO of Muscle Flex Inc. “With the very high profile promotional events Muscle Flex has planned and the release of The BUDDY(TM) and The Beagle(TM) in the same markets, we feel that we can greatly increase our initial sales and growth curve quickly.”

Clenergen Corp. (CRGE.OB) Leases 2,000+ Additional Acres in India for Biomass Plantations
Clenergen Corp. announced today that it has secured long term leases effective 25 years on plantation land parcels in the Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu for cultivation of its feedstock. The company has already begun working on the first parcel of 850 acres for a detailed survey prior to designing the irrigation system and commercial planting. The lease has been provided by Emberumanar Jeer Trust, an entity regulated by the Government of Tamilnadu.
The company has also been granted a lease of 1,200 acres from a similar Government of Tamilnadu, which is anticipated to be closed by October 30th 2009 after completion of the formalities relating to contour mapping. Clenergen plans to cultivate Beema Bamboo over these land parcels once a detailed assessment of the soil conditions and water availability is complete. Beema Bamboo planting is scheduled to commence in November 2009 since the plant is not affected by the monsoon rains.
Estimated to yield 80,000 Metric Tonnes per annum, Clenergen is confident it will meet the requirements of the first 8MW unit of the 16 MW power stations being establishing in Tuticorin, Tamilnadu. Clenergen has leased a 10 acre site for the power plant which includes structural buildings suitable for storage. According to the press release, the power plant is located within 2KM of a major highway and 10 Km of the nearest substation for power evacuation.
Until the harvests begin, Clenergen has signed midterm supply contracts for biomass wood chips sourced from Prosperous Juliaflora bushes to meet its feedstock requirements in Tamilnadu.
Commenting on the land leases, Mark Quinn, CEO stated, “Execution of our feedstock program is a critical component in meeting the supply requirements of our Biomass power plants. By securing lease agreements at this stage allows the company to immediately start planting Beema Bamboo which will yield its first harvest in 2011.”

September 28th CEOcast Weekly Newsletter
Companies featured in this edition of the newsletter: ACTC, CHIP, CUR, CVM, ENZ, IMUC, IWEB, SRCO, SVUL, XSNX
Markets finally snapped their winning streak last week, as weakness in housing markets and durable goods orders led to broad-based declines in all of the major indices. All told, the Dow surrendered 155 points on the week to close at 9665, down 1.6% on the week but up 10.1% on the year. The Nasdaq lost 2.0% on the week to close at 2090, up 32.6% on the year, while the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 posted losses of 2.2% and 3.1% respectively, paring their yearly gains to 15.6% and 19.9%.
Unexpectedly poor data from the housing sector was the big economic story on the week as both new and existing August home sales failed to live up to expectations. New home sales increased modestly to 429,000, falling short of estimates calling for 440,000, while existing home sales missed estimates even more drastically, falling by 2.7% to 5.10 million in August from 5.24 million the month prior, and significantly lower than expectations for 5.35 million. These latest figures coupled with the pending expiration of the first time home buyer tax break, which is expected to be wound down in November, have led many to believe that there is still significant room for improvement in housing markets as increasing unemployment, excess housing inventory and tightening credit standards have created a difficult environment for prospective home buyers. Investors were given further pause later in the week by the news that durable goods orders fell by 2.4%, versus expectations for a gain of 0.4%, most readily attributed to weakness in aircraft and automotive demand resulting from the termination of the cash for clunkers program.
Corporate news was mixed on the week, as shares of Blackberry maker Research in Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM) lost almost 18% following weaker than expected revenue forecasts for Q3 despite reporting in line with expectations for its Q2 numbers. On the more positive side, General Mills (NYSE: GIS) handily beat estimates, reporting EPS of $1.28, significantly better than forecasts calling for EPS of $1.03; the company attributed the better than expected performance to strong consumer demand and raised its full year earnings outlook as a result. Following the week’s action, all ten sectors of the S&P declined, with materials leading the way at 4.8% and financials following with a loss of 3.6%.
What should investors look for this week? Earnings will be slow once again, but look for reports from Walgreen (NYSE: WAG) before the bell on Tuesday, followed after the close the same day by Nike (NYSE: NKE). Pepsi Bottling (NYSE: PBG) reports Wednesday pre-market.
Economic releases for the week begin on Tuesday with Case-Shiller Home Price Index for July and Consumer Confidence figures for September, due out together at 9:00am. On Wednesday, ADP Employment for September will be released at 8:15am, followed by Final Q2 GDP at 8:30am, Chicago PMI for September at 9:45am, and weekly crude inventories at 10:30am. On Thursday morning, expect Personal Income and Spending for August, along with weekly initial jobless claims, and continuing claims at 8:30am. Construction Spending for August, ISM Index for September, and Pending Home Sales for August will be released at 10:00am, followed at 2:00pm by Auto and Truck Sales for September. The week wraps up on Friday with Average Workweek, Hourly Earnings, Nonfarm Payrolls and the Unemployment Rate, all for September, released together at 8:30am, followed by August Factory Orders at 10:00am.
Conference schedules for the week begin on Tuesday with the Maxim Group Conference in New York, followed on Wednesday by the Jefferies Global Clean Technology Conference in London, and the two day Deutsche Bank Securities Leveraged Finance Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. The week wraps up on Thursday with the Thomas Weisel Partners Consumer Conference and the Bank of America Securities Global Real Estate Conference which are both also being held in New York.
Volume Alert: Shares of Enzo Biochem (NYSE: ENZ), a leading vertically integrated biotechnology company engaged in the research, development, manufacture and licensing and marketing of innovative health care products, technologies and services based on molecular and cellular techniques, gained 4.5% on over twice average volume last week, following coverage being initiated by an analyst at brokerage firm Rodman & Renshaw. Coverage was initiated with a Market Outperform/ Speculative Risk rating and a 12 month price target of $14 on the shares which are currently trading below $8, based on a 2015 discounted earnings per share and revenues per share analysis. The analyst cited the “potential to develop in-house as well as acquire cutting-edge molecular diagnostics tests, creating a synergy between the life sciences division and clinical laboratory that offers substantial upside to investors.” The report also cites “Enzo’s promising therapeutic pipeline that has the potential to drive shareholder value including Optiquel for autoimmune uveitis and Alequel for Crohn’s disease.” In other news last week, Enzo announced that it had entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institute of Health, to conduct a human clinical trial of Optiquel. Under the terms of the arrangement, Enzo will provide Optiquelâ„¢ and fund a portion of the studies, while Robert Nussenblatt, MD, Chief of NEI’s Laboratory of Immunology, will serve as the Principal Investigator on this project. In autoimmune uveitis, the body’s own immune system attacks the uvea of the eye, the portion of the eye that lies between the outermost and innermost layers of the eye; it occurs most frequently in people ages 20 to 50, with estimates that more than 30,000 of the 280,000 people in the United States that are affected by uveitis each year, lose their vision as a result of the condition. Shares gained thirty two cents on the week to close at $7.37.
Verichip Corporation (NASDAQ: CHIP), a provider of radio frequency identification systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, which recently acquired identity security provider Steel Vault to form PositiveID Corp, a provider of identification technologies and tools for consumers and businesses, surged 180% on over twelve times average volume last week, following the announcement that the company has been granted an exclusive license to patents related to its partner RECEPTORS’S proprietary virus triage detection system for the H1N1 swine flu virus. The patents can also be applied to detection systems for other viruses and biological threats such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The company believes that being granted rights to these patents, which are the cornerstone of the virus detection technology, will be a key factor in the evolution of PositiveID Corp. Shares gained $2.07 on the week to close at $3.22.
Neuralstem (AMEX: CUR), a company targeting major central nervous system diseases using neural stem cells of the human brain and spinal cord, announced last week that its Investigational New Drug (IND) application has been granted approval by the U.S. FDA, and that the company has been given clearance to commence Phase I trials to treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) with its spinal cord stem cells. Neuralstem is the first company to be given FDA clearance to commence stem cell trials to treat Lou Gehrig’s, a fatal neurodegenerative disease for which currently there is no effective treatment or cure that affects roughly 30,000 people in the U.S., with about 7,000 new diagnoses per year. The trial will study the safety of Neuralstem’s cells and the surgical procedures and devices required for multiple injections of Neuralstem’s cells directly into the grey matter of the spinal cord; the approval represents a significant step toward delivering regenerative medicine directly to damaged neural cells in humans. Shares lost seventeen cents on the week after retreating from a high of $2.95 to close at $1.70.
Volume Alert: Shares of CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX: CVM), a vaccine developer and late stage cancer immunotherapy company, surged 20% on over three times average volume following the announcement last week that it has retained the services of a full-service Clinical Research Organization (CRO) with an office in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore area to support its conduct of the upcoming clinical trial of its investigational LEAPS-H1N1 treatment. The news comes on the heels of the announcement the week prior that the FDA had approved CEL-SCI to proceed with its first clinical trial to evaluate the effect of its investigational LEAPS-H1N1 treatment on the white blood cells of hospitalized H1N1 patients. The study will involve taking blood from hospitalized, laboratory-confirmed H1N1 patients and activating their cells with the LEAPS-H1N1 investigational therapy in order to assess the cells’ response as the basis for the planned future treatment of this patient population under a next-stage clinical trial protocol. In order to be considered for the next stage of clinical trials, CVM must submit a detailed follow-up regulatory filing with extensive additional data. In order to accomplish this in as expeditious a manner as possible, the company plans to work closely with the FDA to ensure that they complete the steps necessary to gain approval for the next Phase of testing. Shares gained twenty eight cents on the week to close at $1.63.
IceWeb (OTCBB: IWEB), a storage technology company specializing in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that provides services to bureaucratic and corporate organizations, announced last week that it has been chosen by a Canadian governmental agency to provide MLP Server Appliances for the Integrated Security Unit (ISU) for the 2010 Winter Olympics scheduled to be held in Vancouver. The company expects that this order will expand on the existing installations with the Canadian Agency and allow greater security and communications for the ISU in meeting their critical mission of protecting the 2010 Vancouver Games. In other news last week, IWEB announced that it is participating in the U.S. government’s cloud computing initiative that was discussed in a press conference by the Obama Administration on Tuesday, September 15th. The company has been providing products and services to the government for several years, and plans to participate in the Cloud Computing Initiative very actively, as their Iplicity products are an enabling technology for the adoption of Cloud based Data Storage, one of the key areas of need that this initiative addresses. Management believes that the company’s existing products and services are a natural fit for this new government effort and believe that IWEB can gain a significant amount of new, highly profitable business as a result. Shares gained two cents on the week to close at $0.09.
ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. (OTCBB: IMUC), a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing immune based therapies for the treatment of brain and other cancers, announced last week that it has completed humanization, a process designed to increase acceptance of antibodies by host immune systems, for two of its antibodies, ICT-37 and ICT-109. Humanization was completed in collaboration with Antitope, a privately held, UK based biotechnology company providing services in the areas of immunogenicity testing, antibody humanization and protein engineering for the purpose of reducing immunogenicity with therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, and resulted in two novel antibodies targeting CEACAM5 alone and CEACAM5 and CEACAM6, two commonly expressed genes present in malignant cells specific to colon cancer, small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. The company plans to explore partnering opportunities with companies that may be interested in small cell lung, pancreatic and colon cancer targeting opportunities as they continue to seek the fastest path to FDA approval for these potentially revolutionary therapies. Shares lost nine cents on the week to close at $1.13.
Sparta Commercial Services (OTCBB: SRCO), a nationwide financial services company dedicated to the powersports industry, announced last week that as a result of the expansion of its Municipal Lease Product to include several new types of vehicles in addition to police motorcycles, it has received a number of requests from local governmental agencies asking Sparta to finance vehicles such as armored tactical trucks, electric/hybrid passenger busses and police cruisers, as well as other essential equipment used by those municipal agencies. In response to this increased demand, the company is currently examining options that would allow it to finance the expanding needs of its municipal clients, in addition to the previously announced relationship with Armet Armored Vehicles, and ongoing contracting discussions to lease police cruisers to multiple agencies. Shares lost just over a penny to close at $0.056 on the week.
Volume Alert: Shares of Steel Vault (OTCBB: SVUL), an emerging provider of identity security products and services, surged 102% on over ten times average volume last week on the aforementioned news that its acquiring partner VeriChip had been granted patents related to a swine flu diagnostic technology. The company also announced preliminary results for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 and provided an update on its operations last week. The company expects revenue for the period of $550,000 to $650,000, compared to revenue of $343,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and no revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2008; the subscriber base at September 30, 2009 is projected to be approximately 14,000. In other news last week, the company announced that it had formed a strategic marketing partnership with OPEN Sports, a leader in sports news and fantasy sports, and FOX Sports to drive subscriber growth for Steel Vault’s services. The partnership is designed to leverage exposure from FOX Sports marketing power to create interest in the company’s online offering, and additionally, players who participate in FOX Fantasy Quick Challenge and Fantasy Live, will receive a free credit report and score from NationalCreditReport.com, which also includes a seven-day free trial to its Safeguard Credit. Shares gained fifty three cents on the week to close at $1.05.
Volume Alert: Shares of XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX), a developer of advanced, thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes, gained ten percent on almost twice average volume following the announcement last week that it has entered into a Joint Business Agreement with Intevac, Inc. a leading provider of magnetic media deposition equipment to the hard disk drive (HDD) industry. The companies plan to collaborate in the development of techniques and equipment for the production of commercially marketable CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) thin-film solar cells. They plan to use their cross-industry expertise to develop a new breed of TFPV manufacturing techniques to produce thin-film solar cells, combining Intevac’s unparalleled expertise and years of technological improvements developed for the sophisticated HDD manufacturing industry with XsunX’s experience in the TFPV industry. The two companies are adapting high-rate production tools from the disk drive industry with process knowledge from the CIGS and thin-film industry, which they expect will produce a technology that is cheaper to manufacture than standard silicon cells and more efficient than other TFPV cells currently available. Shares gained just under two cents on the week to close at $0.154
Advanced Cell Technologies (OTC: ACTC), a company engaged in the development of regenerative therapies utilizing stem cells, provided an update on pre-clinical activities in preparation of its first IND filing with the FDA for its retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell program for the treatment of various eye diseases. In the next few weeks, the company will be completing the preclinical work necessary for filing the IND. In various preclinical tests using the cells on animal models, no adverse events have occurred, leaving the company optimistic that human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) can serve as a potentially safe and inexhaustible source of RPE for the treatment of a range of macular degenerative diseases . The results will be part of the IND application which Advanced Cell expects to submit to the FDA prior to the end of the year. In other news last week, the company announced that Dr. Robert Lanza, its Chief Scientific Officer, was featured on “Explorations in Science” with Dr. Michio Kaku, an hour long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment that is broadcast each week on public radio in New York City (WBAI 99.5 FM), and re-aired in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tampa, Houston, and stations across the country. The show focuses on Dr. Lanza’s research on cloning, stem cells, and his new book “Biocentrism.” Dr. Lanza is also scheduled to appear on Dr. Kaku’s commercial radio show “Science Fantastic,” a program focusing on the future of science, which airs in 127 cities around the country, making it the largest nationally syndicated science radio show on commercial radio. Shares remained unchanged at $0.13 on the week.
