Strategic American Oil Corp. (SGCA) is “One to Watch”

In September 2011, the company acquired SPE Navigation I, LLC, which included over $4 million in liquid assets and a $10 million working capital bank line, in exchange for 95 million restricted shares of common stock. The previous owners, who founded and developed Hyperdynamics Corp. (NYSE: HDY), now own an even greater stake in Strategic American Oil. To date, these owners have provided more than 70% of the company’s capital for acquisitions and are committed to long term shareholder value.

The company is currently producing oil and gas, and making significant progress on its keystone projects in Texas and Illinois. Leveraging its technical expertise, promising portfolio and strong financial condition, the company is in an advantageous position to experience remarkable growth in the near term future.

Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (THLD) Announces Initiation of Phase 3 TH-302 Combination Trial for Patients with Advanced Tissue Sarcoma

Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in partnership with Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration (SARC), has announced the initiation of a Phase 3 randomized clinical trial of TH-302 in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. This pivotal international trial will enroll patients with metastatic or locally advanced unrespectable soft tissue sarcoma who have not received chemotherapy other then the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting. The trial has been designed to evaluate the capability and the safety of TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin, in comparison to just doxorubicin alone.

Succeeding an end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, the Phase 3 protocol has been agreed upon under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). As a part of the assessment, the FDA has agreed that the planned analysis and the design of the study has adequately addressed the objectives that are necessary to support a regulatory submission needed for approval with enrollment anticipated to be completed by the end of the year 2013.

“Combining TH-302, a selective hypoxia-targeting prodrug, with doxorubicin, an agent with known activity in sarcoma, has a strong scientific rationale. TH-302 represents a novel concept in anti-cancer treatment. It was designed to deliver a cytotoxic agent to areas of a tumor that are often inaccessible to standard chemotherapies. We therefore expect that doxorubicin and TH-302 will complement one another by targeting the vascular components and hypoxic components, respectively, of a patient’s sarcoma,” said William D. Tap, M.D., Section Chief of Sarcoma Oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute and principal investigator for this trial. “I’m excited to be a part of this collaboration between SARC and Threshold and I am looking forward to participating in this pivotal Phase 3 trial with the hope of establishing TH-302 as a new treatment for patients with sarcoma.”

“The proposed study is designed to confirm the encouraging results that we have previously reported in the Phase 1/2 study of soft tissue sarcoma patients treated with TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin,” said Sant P. Chawla, M.D., Sarcoma Oncology Center and principal investigator for the initial Phase 1/2 study. “The treatment of soft tissue sarcoma is a therapeutic challenge. Besides the approval of imatinib mesylate which was limited to gastrointestinal stromal tumors, there have been no new approved agents in first-line soft tissue sarcoma over the last 20 years. We look forward to working with Threshold and SARC.”

Sen Yu International (CSWG) Posts FY, Record Revenues on High Demand

Sen Yu International Holdings Inc., a leading commercial hog breeder and supplier in the People’s Republic of China, today announced improved financial results for its fiscal year 2011. The company said it is confidant its current operations and rising demand will generate continuing growth.

“We experienced record revenues and profits in fiscal 2011 based on strong demand for our high quality breeding and commercial hogs,” Zhenyu (Jack) Shang, founder, chairman and CEO of Sen Yu stated in the press release. ” … We believe our efficient business model and advanced breeding techniques, coupled with the demand we see for our products, will help us to continue to capture market share and drive our future growth.”

Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, increased 41.8 percent to a record $99.8 million compared to $70.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The company attributes the increase to demand from its existing major customers, Beijing Dahongmen and Beijing Fifth Meat Factory.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, increased 84.6 percent to $11.9 million compared to $14.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. Gross margin for fiscal 2011 increased to 26.0 percent from 20.0 percent for fiscal 2010.

Sen Yu reported that operating expenses for fiscal 2011 decreased 12.2 percent to $6.9 million from $7.9 million for fiscal 2010.

The company’s operating income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, increased 207.4 percent to $19.0 million from $6.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Net income for 2011 increased to $36.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, which includes a gain of $17.2 million related to the change in the fair value of warrants, compared to $4.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for 2010, which includes a non-cash expense of $2.0 million related to the fair value of warrants.

As of June 30, 2011, Sen Yu had $11.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of 96.4 percent from $5.8 million as of June 30, 2010, and $59.2 million in working capital, an increase of 189.6% from working capital of $20.5 million at June 30, 2010.

Moving forward, broader factors contribute to the company’s optimistic expectations.

“We see significant growth for our industry going forward and believe that strong demand from Chinese consumers for high quality pork coupled with rising domestic incomes and economic expansion will stimulate even greater demand for our high quality breeding hogs,” Shang stated. “The market for breeding and commercial hogs is becoming very attractive to foreign investors as China is the world’s largest consumer of pork and produces some 50 million tons of pork every year to feed a population of over 1.3 billion. We continue to expand our production and refine our breeding techniques to meet the rising demand from China’s middle class. Going forward, we believe pork consumption and production will continue to rise and that Sen Yu is well positioned to capture greater revenue and profit.”

GreenWorld Development, Inc. (GREW) Announces Plan to Develop Waste to Energy Power Plants

UK-based GreenWorld Development Inc. released news today announcing its plan to develop and build 200MWT of utility scale Waste to Energy Power Plants across the United States, Europe and Asia until 2016. The development plan catapults GreenWorld Development into this fast growing sector as an up and coming global player. When completed, the projects will potentially treat over 700,000 tons of waste and generate revenues in excess of $250 million US dollars.

The company’s first UK Waste to Energy Centre will be based in Market Warsop in Nottinghamshire. The site consists of 2.5 acres and offers sufficient space for the installation of the “Tyre to Energy” plant and CHP. Projections estimate that these components will generate 7MW of renewable energy. The Market Warsop site’s waste transfer license allows it to take in 100 tons of tyres per day, providing adequate feed stock for the planned energy generation. It can also accommodate storage of 500,000 tyres. GreenWorld also is negotiating licenses in the UK and United States in addition to the development of its OHIO facilities.

According to Leo J. Heinl, GreenWorld’s CEO, the company plans to grow its business organically as well as through merger and acquisition of existing facilities in the target markets aiming at creating a consolidated global portfolio of utilities. In a global market expected to reach $28.8 billion USD by 2015, and with very few international players on a utility scale, GreenWorld is aimed to become a key player in this market.

“The company is proud to announce the engagement of a professional team with solid global expertise to drive and to support the company’s mission and growth strategy. Further and additional management members will join the team soon,” remarked Mr. Heinl.

China Precision Steel, Inc. (CPSL) Reports Strong Increase in Sales

China Precision Steel, Inc. reported higher year over year sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, as the company benefited from strong demand for many of its product lines.

China Precision Steel reported sales of $46 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2011. This was a 27% year over year increase from the corresponding quarter of 2010, and a 46% sequential increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Under a share buyback program, which came into effect last month, the company has authorized to buyback up to $40 million of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock from time to time. Xianfu Zhu, chairman and CEO of Zhongpin, said last month that the company has strong confidence in its growth prospects as the Chinese economy continues to grow and its industry consolidates further.

Zhongpin also released its second-quarter financial results last month. The company reported a 70% increase in second-quarter revenue to $366.5 million. The company’s gross margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 10.7%, compared with 11.8% reported in the same period in the previous year.

Consorteum Holdings, Inc. (CSRH) Uses Card Technologies to Fill Gaps in Worldwide Financial Services

When Consorteum Holdings announced earlier that it was launching an innovative MasterCard® program, targeting the Canadian Aboriginal communities, it was a reflection of the company’s overall strategy to fill large gaps in the provision of comprehensive financial services to all segments of the population. In the case of the First Nations MasterCard Program, it was a major move to make life easier for a significant national community.

The card functions much like any MasterCard. Pre-loaded with authorized funds, it is available to anyone, and offers a more efficient and safer way to transfer funds to individuals than by issuing checks, which can be lost or stolen, and which can be difficult to cash if you don’t happen to have a local bank account. As with a regular MasterCard, purchases can be made virtually anywhere, with the amount of the purchase simply being deducted from the card’s balance. The card can also be used for obtaining cash at participating ATM machines.

From a larger perspective, Consorteum’s products represent the application of the latest digital technologies, together with key connections within the financial industry, to help companies and organizations more efficiently transfer payments and process transactions. Other applications include the development of customized loyalty programs for clients, where card technology is used to reward loyal customers, or providing healthcare patients with card-based systems for tracking and managing health records and transactions. The company also makes it easy for ship operators to pay international employees that require different currencies.

More than a simple financial service, it can change lives. It was perhaps best said by Rudy Youngblood, a Native American who has spent much of his life raising the profile of Native American communities throughout Canada and the United States: “This journey presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of a program that will change history. This is something I have been fighting for all of my life and to provide the Tribal regions with access to a full suite of financial services is tremendously empowering.”

Tri-Tech Holding Inc. (TRIT) Secures $1.87M CCTV Production Security Project for New Petroleum Industrial Park in Shaanxi

Tri-Tech Holding, long known as a leading developer of sophisticated turn-key sewage treatment/odor control solutions for some of China’s top municipalities/cities and wielder of an impressive portfolio of intellectual property (2 patents, 27 software copyrights to date), announced that affiliate Beijing Satellite Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (BSST) has secured a $1.87M public bid with the Yanchang Petroleum Group to provide operational/security TV monitoring at a new industrial park in Shaanxi.

The Jingbian Energy and Chemical Industrial Park in Jingbian County, currently under development by Yanchang, will be comprised of a total of six petroleum refining/post-processing plants, collectively capable of yielding million of tons per year of high-value intermediate petroleum products.

TRIT affiliate BSST has been tasked with the essential mission of providing comprehensive CCTV infrastructure, in order to ensure that production security is maintained. The approach outlined by BSST will take the form of a two-pronged systems implementation, with one prong handling production/operational concerns and the other covering perimeter security.

A huge job and a huge boon for BSST, who will provide everything from the design, to materials and implementation/operator commissioning, leveraging the Company’s vast experience in system integration and project installations to deliver by a projected completion date of May, 2013.

CEO of TRIT, Warren Zhao, applauding this second production safety project secured by BSST through Yanchang, spoke of the exemplary progress made thus far with the initial Yanchang project, asserting that the work prompted Yanchang to engage BSST for additional help. Zhao noted that the initial Yanchang project was on schedule for Oct. 2011 completion and pointed to a broadening international focus at TRIT, briefly mentioning ongoing industrial wastewater treatment opportunities being pursued in North America via their Wisconsin-based, J&Y Water Division.

Zhao also pointed to ongoing business development efforts in the Middle East and India, assuring investors that the Company would offer timely press releases concerning prevailing developments with such active bids.

President of TRIT, Gavin Cheng, echoed his colleague’s sentiments roundly and went into greater detail on the industrial CCTV system to be utilized, highlighting in particular the powerful fusion of long range imaging technology and environmental sensors. Cheng underscored the operational benefits of such a system that can detect equipment malfunctions in order to prevent accidents, as well as monitoring production continuously, enabling spills or leakages to be identified and handle if they do occur before the situation gets any worse. Cheng emphasized the importance of such a system to the overall secure operation and performance of the industrial park, and pledged to maintain strict oversight.

For more information on the project, or to find out more about Tri-Tech Holding Inc., please visit the Company’s website at: www.Tri-Tech.cn

SupportSave Solutions, Inc. (SSVE) Leverages Efficiencies to Offer a Full Array of Business Services at Very Competitive Prices

SupportSave Solutions Inc. provides onshore and offshore business process outsourcing (BPO) from service delivery centers centrally located in the Philippines. This location, Cebu City – the second largest city in the islands, and ranking at the top of Asian cities in terms of BPO functions – offers business services to clients in the travel and hospitality industries, as well as those in banking and financial services, insurance, technology, retail, and telecommunications industries.

SupportSave is able to provide comprehensive and effective offshore business service delivery service at affordable prices thanks to its complete familiarity with the Philippines labor market. This expanded understanding of the supply side of BPO has allowed SupportSave to create fully functioning service centers to deliver fully redundant voice and data business services via backup links and secondary connections. SupportSave also boasts an enterprise-grade network infrastructure with robust connectivity, redundant generator sets to insure that all that connectivity is deliverable, and a host of other features that U.S. and multinational corporations have come to expect of any large BPO provider.

Unlike others, however, SupportSave provides these services without the bulky overhead and weighted cost structures, by controlling the expenditures that otherwise typically go into infrastructure, technology and labor management. This allows the Company to offer BPO services like contact center and back-office support at a substantial discount as compared with other BPO service providers on the Indian subcontinent or in the Philippines.

The Company’s financial strength is easily verified and its management and business practices completely transparent, thanks to a skilled executive team that has transitioned quite a number of large (multi-million-dollar) projects for various, easily recognized multinationals in banking, travel, insurance and other sectors. In fact, SupportSave offers all the in-depth services and features of much larger BPOs, but at less than half the cost, thanks to its intense focus on cost-efficient business-process modeling and smart spending.

These features include superior customer service from an array of call centers, and extensive back-office support services like routine administrative tasking, database building, data entry, document management and technical support. It is this array of functions that allows SupportSave to help businesses deliver the sort of customer experience that drives brand loyalty and supports incremental revenue growth while still saving on operating costs.

But the Company offers more than cost savings, or reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). It also offers flexibility toward process enhancement, improved voice-of-the-customer record integration, and overall deal structuring, which larger firms can’t manage because their size creates a certain inherent functional rigidity.

SupportSave’s cost savings are achieved by strategic geographical location of service centers and a frugal yet sensible approach to provisioning them. These savings are further enhanced by using open-source technologies and platforms rather than expensive licensing strategies, and by streamlining delivery infrastructure with technological innovations as they become available.

It is thanks to this wide-ranging yet affordable BPO structuring that SupportSave is currently supplying customer service and technical support to a leading home appliance original equipment manufacturer (OEM); providing research services for an online brand preservation agency; providing technical support for several software-as-a-service (SaaS) firms; providing lead generation for sales by a private equity firm; and delivering back-end staffing services (job posting, online support) for a major employment agency.

These are only a few examples of the services that the Company can offer. SupportSave can also deliver cost-effective blog updating, data mining, ad posting, order processing, resume formatting, interview scheduling for job seekers, and – in the real estate field – property listing, appointment setting, and foreclosure status confirmation, among other things.

The Company also offers medical business services, from scheduling patient tests to follow-up and reminder calls, screening, billing and collections – all services that SupportSave can provide for a cost of $897 per full-time employee per month, on a 24/7 time frame, which equates to $5.18 per hour – a flat-rate model that makes outsourcing financially feasible even for small businesses.

SupportSave plans to use this lean but effective business model to grow both organically, by acquiring new customers, and through acquisitions in the same vertical, some of which the Company’s management team has already identified. The growth should be easy to achieve, thanks to SupportSave’s full range of BPO services, highly competitive rates, and a level of quality and reliability that drives its own brand loyalty.

AgriSolar Solutions, Inc. (AGSO) Introduces Solar Insect Elimination Systems to Europe

AgriSolar Solutions, Inc. recently announced that it would be opening several sales and distribution offices in Europe for the purpose of introducing its solar powered insect elimination systems to the market. These systems will be rolled out for use on farms, orchards and vineyards.

Based in Colorado, AgriSolar Solutions manufactures and distributes an eco-friendly pesticide-free insect elimination system, with the goal of making pesticides obsolete. Insect control is a $70 billion industry worldwide, with the most inexpensive chemical insecticides costing approximately nine dollars per acre per month. Organic insecticides, while being more eco-friendly than non-organic insecticides, average at sixty dollars per acre per month. Conversely, the AgriSolar insect control system costs one dollar per acre per year.

While AgriSolar has a foothold in the Chinese market, European legislation known as the
Pesticides Framework Directive dictates the sustainable use of pesticides, aiming to reduce the impact of pesticides on human health. In this area, AgriSolar has seen exceptional growth during recent periods.

Revenue for the three-month period ending June 30, 2011 was $5.6 million, a 147% increase from the previous quarter that ended in March 2011, and a 90% increase on a year-over-year quarterly basis. Gross profit increased to $1.6 million from $1.0 million during the previous year. Quarterly comprehensive income for the quarter was $423,482, or $.01 per share (basic), compared to a loss during the June 2010 quarter. Along with AgriSolar’s expansion into Europe, the company is also planning similar growth in North and South American markets.

AgriSolar’s CEO Liang Chao Wei, said, “The time is right for us to significantly expand our distribution considering the push to implement Europe’s Pesticide Framework Directive, which aims to reduce the risks and impacts of pesticides on human health. Our state-of-the-art insect control systems have seen great success in the Chinese agricultural market, which has allowed us to grow our revenues very quickly. Additionally, we have recently added a meaningful amount of additional manufacturing capability that will allow us to produce in the volumes necessary to satisfy the additional strong demand we are expecting within the European market.”

BeaconEquity.com: Don’t Sell your Gold; Buy the Dips, says Jim Rogers

Commodities king Jim Rogers made the rounds with the media yesterday, speaking to, among others, the The Economic Times of India regarding his latest thoughts on the gold price.

Now living in Singapore, the 68-year-old American citizen reckons the gold price may meander lower in coming weeks, but strongly suggests that weaker prices present an opportunity for investors who missed the boat on this roaring bull market to jump aboard to higher prices he sees in the future due to the protracted sovereign debt crisis in the Europe, then, in the United States.

“ . . . gold has been up 10 years in a row, which is very unusual in any asset class,” Rogers told India’s largest financial daily publication The Economic Times. “So if it is up this year or 11 years in a row, gold is overdue for a correction and it could have a nice substantial correction given that it has been so strong.”

“I have no idea what is going to happen this year. I doubt if it will go to $2000 an ounce in 2011, it is more likely to have a correction which will last for several weeks, several months,” he continued. “It has been very strong. If it goes down some more, I would buy more gold.”

Just as two other hard-money advocates Peter Schiff and Marc Faber have already suggested in their comments earlier this week, Rogers said he sees the pullback in the gold price as a healthy one within a larger contextual outlook for the precious metal in the longer term. He, as both Schiff and Faber have indicated, view the pullback in gold—and silver—as, yet, another buying opportunity for investors seeking protection from the endgame of expected currency debasements of the euro and U.S. dollar.

But, as on several occasions of the past decade, the pendulum has swung to fear again in the gold market, as Mr. Market—with a little help from regulators and central bankers who apply pressure points to leveraged paper traders at seemingly the most opportune times—took latecomers and momentum traders to the woodshed as punishment for their short-term greed indiscretions. Buyers of the physical metals, however, swamped dealers with orders during the vicious sell off (see $10 billion Sprott Asset Management’s Eric Sprott interview on King World News).

Rogers continued: “When fear permeates a market, everybody sells, especially the last ones in frequently have to jump out. They have raised margin requirements for both silver and gold. So that makes it more and more difficult for people to hold on.”

Incidentally, the uber-U.S.-centric Forbes Magazine’s takeaway from Rogers’ sanguine comments borrowed from the ET interview, regarding the recent turmoil in the gold market, was subtly skewed by its headline—omitting of his most salient point: buy the dips!

Forbes Magazine headline: Jim Rogers Tells India Press Gold Will Decline For ‘Months’.

On the other hand, the original price from the 40-year-old ET is entitled:

Gold price correction will last for several months; buy on dips: Jim Rogers. (emphasis added).

Though the Forbes’ piece does include the entire Rogers quote, which includes the “buy the dips” statement, one has to wonder how hard the magazine has been hit in advertising revenue now that U.S. dollar-denominated paper assets have taken a beating against real money, gold? As Keynesians have previously indicated, higher gold prices are a barometer of the public’s disaffection of stewards of the purchasing power of the U.S. dollars—and the euro, at this time, too.

But in fairness to Forbes, it hadn’t spread comments from unconfirmed and anonymous sources during the never-ending crisis out of Europe as CNBC’s Steve Liesman and Financial Times of London have.

The crisis was a long time in coming, as Jim Rogers has repeated stated for years, and the Kremlin-like credibility of those reporting the crisis have only served to underscore Rogers’ comments regarding his reasons for owning gold. Freegold for free people.

TiVUS, Inc. (TIVU) Lets You Take Home Preferences with You

When you’re at home, what kind of electronic entertainment and computer setup do you prefer? The capabilities and arrangement of your home systems says a lot about you, the way you work, how you watch television, the way you communicate with the world. But then what’s it like when you’re on the road? Do you find yourself trying to cobble together limited hotel resources in an effort to get your work done or keep the family happy? Do you find yourself thinking how much easier it is at home, where you perhaps like to work on the Internet through your television, or watch Netflix and other video streaming sites on a big screen?

If so, you’re not alone. As home communication and electronic functionalities become more flexible and powerful, more people find themselves disappointed by the limitations of traditional hotel services. The idea of a pricey hotel, or even a resort, having antiquated electronic resources is becoming a major factor in travel decisions, and a threat to hotel revenues. Comprehensive access to the Internet, for example, is now considered a necessity, not a luxury.

TiVUS, a hospitality industry entertainment services and technology company, has created the first-of-its-kind Internet protocol HDTV system for hotels and resorts. For guests, it represents all of the flexibility and capability of home, together with added features for hotel communication.

• Entertainment centers can be tailored to each guest, regardless of where they travel, thanks to a TiVUS patented customer identification system.
• Guests have full access to all local and cable channels, plus all of the latest movies.
• Laptops and even mobile devices can be connected to the TiVUS system, allowing viewing of Netflix, Hulu, and other video streaming sites through the big screen television.

For the hotel, the TiVUS ad revenue business model allows revenue to be generated in ways never before possible. Special licensing agreements with content providers allow the delivery of normal advertising on a shared-income basis. In addition, IPTV and integrated software technology and algorithms allows the targeting of specific demographic viewers, serving ads based upon viewer preferences, resulting in a highly focused and valuable way for advertisers to reach the market. The system is already being installed in major hotels, with plans for worldwide expansion.

Sky Power Solutions Corp. (SPOW) Announces Qualification of Sky Power System for French Government Incentives

Sky Power Solutions Corp., a company that engages in developing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for power production in the United States, has recently announced that its Sky Power system has qualified for incentives from the French Government for solar, renewable energy installation.

Consumers who install the Sky Power system in France can get a 50% government tax credit, potential eligibility for a grant, a loan free of interest, and a possible modest tax- free annual income. A “tax credit” means that, even though you may not pay an income tax in France, the French government will provide you with a sum equivalent to that in cash.

All of this is resulting from a major drive by the French government to raise the amount of renewable energy that is produced each year to comply with EU objectives.

The resale of electricity into the electric grid in France from photovoltaic solar panels has been made available to homeowners since 2006, although until recently the income realized from it was subject to income tax. Provided that the power that is produced does not exceed 3kwh, the income that is received is no longer charged with income tax. The amount of income that could potentially be generated each year is EUR 1500/ EUR 2000 for a 3KW system. “The French government has provided great incentives for homeowners who install the Sky Power system making the time to recover the cost of the unit very short, meaning your Sky Power system becomes a source of extra tax fee income,” says Rich Ralston, PR and Media Manager for Sky Power Solutions.

France utilizes Feed-in-Tariffs for the rates that solar users are paid for the electric power that they sell to the grid. The rates range from: EUR 0.34 to EUR 0.58/KWh, all depending on how the system is integrated. Feed-in-Tariff rates are much higher than the rate that electric power is sold by the utility to residential customers.

The Sky Power system is being developed at the R&D facilities of Li-ion Motors Corp., utilizing the same team that has led the winning 2010 X-Prize for Li-ion Motors in a side-by-side competition by reaching an impressive 187MPGe with their WAVE II fully electric car. Taking advantage of the lessons learned in the development process of one of the most efficient cars to date, Sky Power Solutions has harnessed the mind power to further develop Sky Power, Stand Alone, Residential, Solar Concentrating, Electric Generation system.

The Sky Power Solutions residential solar power station will potentially be able to reduce the average user’s monthly electric grid consumption by up to 30-40% with ZERO emissions and ZERO carbon footprint; utilizing only the Sun’s power. With immense visual appeal, the Sky Power Solutions system can be very easily installed in most backyards, taking up less than one-third of the space that conventional Solar panels take up. The entry-level price point for a Sky Power Solutions-Concentrated Solar electric system has been estimated to be $5,000 at its release. Numerous units can be combined for increased capacity and the amount of electricity that is sold to the grid.

BEFUT International (BFTI) Posts Q4, FY2011 Increases

BEFUT International Co. Ltd., a developer, manufacturer and distributor of wire and cable products in China, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

The company’s positive fourth quarter and full-year 2011 were fueled by several variables, including increased demand for the company’s current product offerings, as well as several patent pending products.

“We are pleased to report strong growth in revenue and net income for fiscal 2011. Our product strategy, marketing strategy and strong R&D have been key drivers to our success. We continue to grow our traditional cable business, but are particularly focused on increasing sales of our higher margin products such as carbon fiber composite cable, submarine cable and certain ‘new energy’ cables, including cable for wind and solar energy,” Hongbo Cao, chairman and CEO, BEFUT stated in the press release. “We have been awarded a number of new patents and now have 17 approved patents and 45 pending, which provide us an important competitive advantage.”

The company reported fourth-quarter revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011, at $15.4 million compared to $11.9 million for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010. BEFUT attributes the increase to growing demand across all product lines. Gross profit was $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Fourth quarter 2011 operating income was $1.7 million compared to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010, was $4.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Revenue for the 12 months ended June 30, 2011, was $55.6 million compared to $31.3 million for the comparable 12 months of 2010. Gross profit was $14.9 million for fiscal year 2011 compared to $8.3 million for the comparable 12 months of 2010. Operating income was $9.0 million for the 12 months of 2011 compared to $4.3 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2010.

“We have established a first class customer base encompassing many of the largest conglomerates in China—spanning ship building, nuclear power, mining, petrochemical and other industries,” Cao continued. “Given our proven track record, established brand and premier customer base, we look forward to expanding our sales by aggressively adding new sales reps and new sales offices across China, in addition to new initiatives underway to grow our international sales.”

FITT Highway Products Inc. (FHWY) ‏is “One to Watch”

FITT Highway Products, Inc. is a brand management Company that lists on the OTC Bulletin Board. FITT has entered into an Operating Agreement with F.I.T.T. Energy Products Inc. to perform a majority of their operating services. This includes, among other things, selling, marketing, producing, and distributing the “F.I.T.T. Energy Shot With Resveratrol”. F.I.T.T. Energy Products will pay the Company a royalty for each energy shot sold. FITT Highway Products has their corporate headquarters in Mission Viejo, California.

The Company focuses on customers in their twenties, thirties, and forties, who have an interest in fitness and health, as well as gaining an energy boost. FITT’s intention is to market their products through their retail outlet, a website, as well as through a direct response television presence.

In July, FITT announced that F.I.T.T. Energy Products (F.I.T.T.), a non-affiliated operating partner, began discussions with their medical experts, key investors, attorneys, and media partners to identify a large pharmaceutical or beverage partner to rollout “F.I.T.T. Energy With Resveratrol” energy shots to the retail marketplace. The basis of the decision to speed up the rollout was on positive preliminary results of their completed double blind crossover study involving two leading competitors’ products.

This week, FITT Highway Products announced F.I.T.T. Energy Products completed their randomized, single center, double blind, crossover trial to evaluate the impact of the “F.I.T.T. Energy With Resveratrol” energy shot and two leading competitors’ products on resting blood pressure. Final results indicate the F.I.T.T. Energy shot did not statistically elevate systolic blood pressure over the placebo. The completed test results revealed that competitors’ energy shots caused average increases in patients’ systolic blood pressure in amounts 224 percent to 355 percent greater than when taking F.I.T.T. Energy.

Additional raw data from the study indicated F.I.T.T. Energy produced a significantly less “jittery feeling” in the test subjects than the competitive products. Moreover, F.I.T.T. Energy was able to achieve an “energized feeling” in the test subjects with less than one-half the caffeine content of the competitive products.

All American Gold Corp. (AAGC) Provides Update on Goldfield West Project Drilling Operations

All American Gold Corp. today reported an update on the drilling operations at its Goldfield West Project in Nevada.

Drilling, which commenced at the south target of the property, is progressing on schedule with two reverse circulation drill holes, each to an approximate depth of 800 feet, having been completed. According to today’s press release, an additional two holes are in progress and scheduled for completion by the first week of October. The holes at the south target are to further investigate a 2,600 foot long structure that had been identified through previous geophysical surveys. The samples collected from the south target will be sent to ALS Chemex in Reno, Nevada for analysis of gold, silver and any other precious mineral content.

Exploration efforts at Goldfield West will target the northern part of the property next. Drilling will focus on an interpreted broad north-south trending structure which appears to host an intrusive dike. Two reverse circulation drilling holes to an approximate depth of 800 feet are planned to test this geophysical anomaly which was identified from previous works conducted on the property.

The Goldfield West Property is located approximately 4 miles southwest of International Mineral’s Gemfield deposit and 4.5 miles west of the Goldfield district, which is renowned for its historic production in excess of 4 million ounces of gold at an average grade of > 17 g/t Au.

ecoTECH Energy Group, Inc. (ECTH) Awarded Major Contract from HosMedEx S.A. of Ecuador

Located in Seattle, Washington, ecoTECH is a development-stage renewable energy company that produces renewable and sustainable “green” energy products. Today, ecoTECH took a major step towards prominence with the announcement they have been awarded a $36 million contract from HosMedEx S.A. (Hospital Medical Express) of Ecuador.

HosMedEx is a global company that imports instruments and appliances used in the medical sector. The contract will provide HosMedEx six Gar-Crete systems for use in 6 regions across Ecuador. ecoTECH will receive $6 million USD for each delivered system and a $6 million initial deposit from HosMedEx.

ecoTECH’s Gar-Crete system is designed to convert trash into reusable concrete for industrial products such as pipes, culverts and barriers and will be utilized where infrastructure is uneconomic or unavailable.

The Gar-Crete garbage to cement ash system can produce 4 – 40 tons per hour, depending on residual MSW content and the energy content of the fuel mix into the ecoPHASER sublimation reactor section. The system can be paired with large or small cement mixing systems. Due to the action of the tumble kiln, the ash is produced and kept below its natural fusion temperature, which will vary according to the kiln feed mixture. This will make the company and its product line a friend to the environment and the marketplace alike.

Currently, ecoTECH Energy is trading in the $0.48 range. To learn more about this press release or the company as a whole, visit the company website at www.ecotechenergygroup.com

Onyx Service & Solutions, Inc. (ONYX) Set to Build First Diesel-Reduction Solar Project in Honduras with $84 Million Contract

Onyx Service and Solutions, Inc., a global company committed to designing cutting edge energy technology, products, manufacturing advances and construction projects to successfully compete in a global energy marketplace, announced that after a presentation last Wednesday at the Roatan Municipal Government Chambers it is confident that their first major solar power project will be in Honduras. The 18.5 megawatt solar project will earn Onyx $84 million and will allow it to use 65,000 of its branded 280 watt solar panels. Onyx will use this power plant as the entree for the company into a lucrative market of nations that solely use diesel produced electricity for their energy needs.

Honduras is a great first location as a US ally with a huge expat population trying to free itself from the clutches of Venezuela and the influence of Hugo Chavez. Presently, the island of Roatan relies 100% on diesel produced electricity. With diesel prices constantly rising, this total reliance is hurting both the tourist industry and the ability of the nation to attract new businesses. As a top rated retirement location in the world, a fixed cost for energy is an essential attraction. Solar power is a solution to one of the area’s biggest problems.

The next steps for Onyx include the completion of the agreement with the project investors and initiation of the regulatory processes. Onyx has already identified ten-acre tracts that are located in areas with the appropriate exposure to the sun, close to the existing electrical grid and with construction access. The project will be completed in thirds so each tract can be acquired in stages. Each of the stages is expected to utilize 23,500 panels at 280 watts each.

Codexis, Inc. (CDXS) Secures Foothold in Brazilian First Generation Ethanol

Codexis, industrial biotech developer of products which make manufacturing cleaner and more efficient, in conjunction with Raizen Energia S.A., a $12B JV esteemed as Brazil’s largest sugar and ethanol producer, announced signage of a joint development agreement to develop an enhanced first generation ethanol process, shrewdly exploiting Raizen’s solid footprint as the top sugar/ethanol producer in Brazil.

The agreement will see the Codexis CodeEvolver™ platform implemented in order to upgrade the existing process utilized by Raizen for manufacturing ethanol from sugar cane. Pilot production at Raizen’s Bonfim mill will look to accelerate the some 600M gallons of ethanol (2010) produced by Raizen, addressing key areas like improved yeast performance.

CEO of Raizen, Vasco Diaz, cited the timeliness of the agreement as Brazil begins importing ethanol to satisfy demand which is outstripping currently projected yields for the season. Diaz reaffirmed the commitment by CDXS and his company to helping solve the problem through technological innovation.

The agreement calls for commercialization rights to be retained by CDXS, with Raizen accessing preferential commercial terms and subsequent agreements slated to cover any successful developments that emerge under the current agreement. Interestingly, the agreement also includes the potential for collaborative efforts on other lucrative products like bio-based chemicals and similar sugar-derived offerings.

Today’s news is huge for CDXS and its shareholders as Brazil topped out in second place globally last year (2010) for both production (7B gallons) and consumption of ethanol.

President and CEO of CDXS, Alan Shaw, Ph.D., called the agreement a huge step for both Brazilian ethanol production and the two companies. This initial agreement, according to Shaw, will lay the foundation for the future while granting immediate improvement both to the performance and overall cost structure of first generation ethanol.

Raizen is turning out around 530M gallons of ethanol annually, making them Brazil’s third largest fuels company and with a 4,500 station network and 24 sugar mills, they boast an impressive installed capacity of some 900MW of energy from sugar cane. This is a perfect move for CDXS, opening up substantial territory in a thriving market that has real potential for long-term growth.

For more information on the agreement, the technology and/or on Codexis, Inc., please visit the Company’s website at: www.Codexis.com

BeaconEquity.com: Message to Gold & Silver Investors from Peter Schiff

For those losing sleep over the recent three-day plunge in gold prices, signaling an abrupt change in the fundamentals for bullion’s bull market rally, Euro Pacific Capital’s Peter Schiff said, not only have the fundamentals not changed, they’ve grown “stronger than ever!”

In his Sept. 26 Schiff Report, he stated, “In fact, the recent price declines simply adds further support for, I believe, the decision to buy gold and silver.”

Schiff echoes sentiments of $10 billion Sprott Asset Manager’s Eric Sprott, who recently reported on King World News that his firm had been stripped clean of every once of physical silver in his vaults—ranging from small orders for 10-ounce bars to multimillion dollar orders from very wealthy individuals and institution buyers.

Schiff, who’s been recommending bullion for more than a decade, said severe drops in gold and silver are mere par for the course, and that new investors should not get discouraged by these massive drops, but should, instead, buy more metal if they’re in position to do so. And for those believing the train has left the station without you, Schiff said, it “has turned around and come back, giving you a chance to get on board.”

Harkening back to the Lehman collapse and subsequent financial crisis, which centered on the U.S., gold and silver prices plunged into a death spiral—along with stocks, commodities and overseas currencies. Gold plunged more than 35% from its recent high, at that time, of more than $1,000 per ounce, to as low as $680. Silver, on the other hand, got a glimpse of an end-of-the-world scenario when its price fell from more than $20 to $8.50 in days—a nearly 60% decline from the previous high.

But as we know, gold prices went on to reach new highs, nearly trebling from its crash low of 2009 to then trade as high as $1,930 as late as a few weeks ago, while the silver price soared during that same time period to a nearly six-bagger price of $49.85—all within only 26 months.

So, as long as Marc Faber’s most pessimistic of his calls (as well as John Taylor’s call) for the gold price reaching, possibly, $1,000 per ounce, this most recent swan dive drop in the metals is child’s play in comparison.

“There is an old expression in the stock market, that bull markets take the stairs up, but the elevator down,” Schiff continued. But the precious metals’ decline this time didn’t take the elevator down, “they just fell down the shaft.”

From greed to fear, the bull market has twisted, said Schiff. Others may tell you, we told you so; we warned you, but Schiff said to expect such comments, pointing out that such talk creates fear and doubt. “That’s what builds a bull market; it’s built on fear; it climbs that proverbial Wall of Worry.”

So what created the big drop in prices? Schiff said leveraged speculators were “being forced to sell.” Stops were triggered and margin calls were raised, creating a virtuous cycle of more and more sellers, triggering more and more stops, and creating panic among the weak holders. On the other hand, physical buyers don’t have the problems of brokers asking for more money to hold positions, he said.

“I think the catalyst that started this sell off was the announcement by Ben Bernanke that the U.S. economy faced even more significant downside risks than he believed,” Schiff explained. “Well, the reason why we’re buying our gold and silver is precisely because the U.S. economy is much worse than the Fed chairman believes, or would readily admit.”

Schiff suggested that acknowledgment by the Fed of the terrible fundamentals in the U.S. economy means “more government stimulus; it means more money printing, more quantitative easing.”

Schiff believes Bernanke is playing coy with markets—for now, and with an election coming up Helicopter Ben will come to the rescue once again. “At the end of the day, Bernanke will do the only thing he knows, which is to print more money.”

“That’s why we’re buying gold.”
