Biotech /Pharma Stock Trading Alert: Antares (NYSE Amex: AIS) Doubles From December 15th Lows

New York , NY - March 30 , 2012- Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a trading alert and updated commentary from Josh Levine of the Levine MicroCap Newsletter, for Antares Pharma, Inc. (NYSE Amex: AIS).



In an Alert in mid December, Levine said the negative results on LibiGel’s Phase III trials for efficacy, which were issued by AIS partner BioSante Pharmaceuticals is “only a minor bump in the road for Antares. Today’s 30%-plus drop in AIS shares is an overreaction and the stock will rebound fully in time.” He concluded: “If you don't own AIS, I recommend taking advantage of this anomaly. If you were considering adding to your current position, this is the time to move.”

Levine followed up on December 30 with this comment about AIS: “Antares has surged 30% in two weeks and is again trading above its 200-day moving average. The market quickly and correctly recognized that the LibiGel event does nothing to tarnish the company’s outlook, which has never been stronger.”

Today, the stock is trading at $3.30, up strongly from its sell off and low of $1.51 on December 15th. As the chart below illustrates, AIS shares have experienced some wild swings during the past year. Most notable was the plunge taken in December.

The shares traded as high as $3.45 on March 26, marking a gain of more than 100% in less than four months. AIS is now higher than its 2011 peak and trading at a level it hasn’t seen in a decade.

“When big inefficiencies in the market arise for small stocks, it presents great buying opportunities,” says Levine. “Understand that every situation is different and we must weigh a range of factors, starting with the news or event that caused the drop. In the case of AIS, it was abundantly clear the event was equivalent to a minor scratch, and the market’s overreaction was a gift for investors.”
