Security Stocks; Visualant (OTCBB:VSUL) Announces First License of Spectral Pattern Matching Technology; Environmental Applications Subject of License with Javelin LLC

Seattle, WA - January 5, 2011 (Investorideas.com Defense Newswire) - Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL), a pioneer provider of industry-leading color based identification and diagnostic solutions, is pleased to announce it has entered into a license agreement with Seattle-based Javelin LLC ("Javelin") for development of environmental diagnostic applications of its Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology.

Visualant's primary focus with its SPM technology and its TransTech Systems, Inc. subsidiary is the multi-billion dollar security and authentication marketplace. SPM technology has broad applicability to a number of fields of use outside the security and authentication marketplace including medical, agricultural and environmental diagnostics. Today's announcement is the first license agreement for the SPM technology. It marks a significant milestone in the Company's growth. The first public demonstration of the Company's SPM technology occurred in October of 2010. This license is what the Company hopes will be the first of many such agreements. The license, which is exclusive for environmental applications, provides for certain minimum payments and market-rate royalties.
The Visualant SPM technology, with its ability to map color at the photon level both within the humanly visible spectrum as well as in the near infra-red and near ultra-violet, can be used as a diagnostic tool for a host of environmental applications. These include determining the presence of foreign substances such as oil in water and determining water quality among many others.
Javelin LLC Co-founder, Peter Purdy, stated, "I have worked in the optical solutions field for over twenty years. With the Visualant SPM technology we can differentiate our product for testing at the molecular level due to its very low cost. It is a transformative technology with a broad array of potential applications." Matthew Creedican, Javelin Co-founder, agrees and mentioned, "We have been aggressive in pursuing Visualant's technologies for our testing applications and the extreme competitive advantage SPM brings in size, cost and durability. We are excited about a number of the current environmental applications we currently are working with as well as future iterations of the technology."
About the Javelin license agreement Visualant CEO Ron Erickson said, "While we remain focused on our work in the security and authentication marketplace, we have been resolute in our belief the Visualant SPM technology has extensive applications in many fields of use. We look forward to working with Javelin to solve some big problems in environment diagnostics. Over time, we expect to secure additional licensing opportunities for the SPM technology in medical, agricultural diagnostics and in other fields of use."

Defense Stocks Update; SPADE Defense Index; 2010 Summary

January 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com newswire) - Investorideas.com, a leader in sector research including defense and Homeland Security stocks, reports sector commentary from Scott Sacknoff, manager of the SPADE® Defense Index.
Interesting Fact: Every constituent in the SPADE Defense Index was positive during the month of December 2010. This is the first time this has happened.
End of Year Summary
If the goal of an investor is to beat the benchmark, which for the aerospace and defense sector is the SPADE Defense Index (NYSE: DXS), then in 2010 most investors failed. Investors who wanted to gain exposure to the defense sector by simply buying one of the large prime contractors � Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), Raytheon (NYSE: RTN), L-3 (NYSE: LLL), etc. were proven wrong as the mid- and small-caps dominated gains in 2010. The exception was Boeing (NYSE: BA) which had a year marked by ups and downs but finished substantially higher and Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) whose announcement to sell its shipbuilding operation was met favorably. Overall, investors who purchased shares of a sector ETF, like the Powershares Aerospace & Defense ETF (NYSE: PPA) which gained 9.6% during the year, benefited from the added diversification that it provides.
Overall, the sector trailed the Dow by 1.4% and the S&P500 by 3.17%, the first notable underperformance since the index was launched in 1998. However, considering the negative news cycle on defense, in particular relating to an anticipated decline in the defense budget in the face of mounting federal deficits, and the fact that the defense sector still managed nearly double digit gains, the gains likely surprised some financial analysts. With the exception of August, which saw the sector underperform by nearly 4% (on no specific news), the aerospace & defense sector would have outperformed the market.
Mergers & Acquisition
As companies seek to position themselves, nearly 20% of the SPADE Defense Index was acquired or is pending acquisition during 2010. Statistically, the sector saw several hundred deals although most were smaller sized. Multi-billion deals were few. Index constituents that were acquired: Argon ST (STST), Cogent (COGT), Dyncorp (DCP), ICX Technologies (ICXT), and Stanley (SXE). Companies whose acquisition were announced but are pending include: L1 Identity (ID), Applied Signal (APSG), Ladish (LDSH), and CPI International (CPII).
Forecast for 2011
(As I get ready to post this, its just been announced that Defense Secretary Gates will announce later this week the results of his previously announced plans to find $100 billion in savings. Among the programs reported to be on the block are the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, a 40-ton amphibious landing craft being developed for the Marine Corps by General Dynamics; a medium air-to-air missile being developed by Raytheon Co; and a further restructuring of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter that could extend the program's development phase by up to two years. Republicans in the House of Representatives have reiterated their calls this morning for 20% cuts in most government agencies for 2011 (except defense), however Senate Republicans have not said they are on board with the plan. Neither of these news items impact our comments below).
The sector's 9.62% gain in 2010 should not be a surprise to those that follow the sector considering the underlying fundamentals and technicals which have seen the index consistently above the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Defense companies end the year with a record amount of cash on hand and have been making acquisitions to position themselves into higher growth areas of their business or into adjacent areas that can generate revenues and profits in the coming years. Combined with an economy that has been rebounding since the 2008-2009 lows -- which has led to increased manufacturing activity, increased exports, the beginnings of a multi-year expansion in the commercial aerospace segment, and a high level of global security issues -- and the companies operating in the sector remain in a position where the strengths may counteract the negatives. In fact, a number of executives in the most recent quarterly reporting period issued positive comments for 2011 and several analysts have forecasted that companies such as Lockheed Martin, which underperformed in 2010, should see a rebound in their shares later in 2011 and 2012.

It is our belief that the sector is much more stable than it is given credit for and while issues equate defense sector cuts with deficit reduction will likely impact the perceptions among the investor universe and impact some companies more than others, a long-term structural impact similar to the 1990s is unlikely. We base this belief on the following:
1. Forecasted cuts in the defense budget are not likely to begin and take effect until October 2011 with the FY-12 budget; although there is an extremely low outside chance that the FY-11 budget (which has still not been passed) may see some changes when the incoming Congress arrives in January. Going forward, while the deficit and the national debt remain high priorities in the rhetoric of the campaign trail and on Capitol Hill, the reality is that Congress has become increasingly partisan in recent years. The likelihood that dramatic deficit reduction changes to the budget will take place is far from guaranteed and would mean the two parties actually cooperating on a very sensitive issue -- namely how much should be spent on national security. Is there waste that can be cut? Absolutely. Can we expect to see some restructuring in how DoD spends its money. Absolutely. The real question is what the impact of these changes will have on companies operating in the sector.
2. We've Seen this Picture Before.... Fundamentally, the sector remains in a much stronger position than it did during the spending decline that took place in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War. Many firms operating at that time were caught off guard a bit as the changes took place rapidly. This led to significant declines in the share prices of many companies and the mergers or acquisition between them as the defense industrial base found it necessary to reshape itself over the next decade. The current batch of sector executives worked in the sector at the time and saw the impact of what the cuts meant. The lessons learned from the period are still fresh in their minds. Knowledge that the defense budget, in or around FY-11, was set to peak has been known for the past several years, giving industry executives the time to build-up their balance sheets, make acquisitions, and restructure their operations. Aerospace and defense companies today, as a whole, have historic levels of cash on hand and extremely low debt levels. Firms have also been repositioning for the new defense environment by acquiring or expanding into commercial and non-defense adjacent markets -- markets that often have higher margins and hence increased profitability as compared to defense weapons systems. Commercial aircraft, helicopters; air, sea, and land robotics, and IT services; to name but a few.
3. Increased marketing to global customers is being pushed by the White House who supported marketing aerospace products overseas and making long overdue changes to export licensing procedures. This is highlighted by the recent $60 billion deal to sell defense products to Saudi Arabia. Dozens of other multi-billion dollar deals have also been announced, approved by Congress, or are in process.
4. Most defense firms are highly diversified, participating in numerous defense and commercial programs. Individual programs typically account for less than 5% of overall revenues; so cuts may impact a firm but not cause its collapse. Most of the firms in the SPADE Defense Index report that they receive less than 5% of their revenues from the war effort.
Challenges
The $100 billion a year reduction being floated is a big number. What has yet to be decided though are the specifics of where it will come from. A number of forecasts indicate that a large percentage could come from savings in health care, pensions, and staff/support reductions. The likelihood that a large weapons system will be cancelled is high--if nothing more than as a symbolic measure. The likelihood that some systems in development are contracted or their schedules delayed to save money and that it is contracted to one of the big five prime contractors is also very high. However, investors will need to estimate what the budget decline means verses the sector's positives (ie. the expansion in their commercial operations where they have increased margins and their entry into new higher growth activities).
This is the big challenge to investors in 2011 and 2012. Can revenues, earnings, and margins overcome the negative budget news cycle? How well have the individual firms executed their strategy and how easy will they move through this period with less bumps than the early 90s?
A key is to not let those who talk about defense cycles influence your thinking. Today IS different. Past cycles have been defined by the development and the use of systems or war/post-war budgets. The U.S. may be exiting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but previous declines have been marked by a more peaceful climate. The 1990s �peace dividend� followed the Cold War and the early 70s decline was post-Vietnam, etc. While enemies in the world remained (ie. Soviet Union in the late-1940s to early-1950s, post WWII) the immediate threat was less than the one we just faced. Today, that is not true. Terrorism still exists. Iraq, North Korea, and others are developing and flexing their nuclear muscles. China is a growing unknown. The threat today is equal or greater than what we've just faced. Doubt it? Just listen to the number of analysts on CNBC who predict 2011 will see a major cyberterrorist attack.
So what should investor's do? It is my belief that 2% - 5% of one's domestic allocation be in the defense sector -- at the high level it reflects the U.S. GDP share of the aerospace and defense sector, at the low, the amount the S&P500 underweights the sector. Consider it as insurance that since 1998 has beaten or equaled the broader market or, in the case of last year, provided nearly a double digit gain in what was considered a down year for the sector.

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Reports NOJ26 oil well went on pump December 23rd
"SCOTTSDALE, AZ - December 27, 2010 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) - Energy company, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) reports that the NOJ26 oil well went on pump as of December 23rd at the North Oklahoma Project and is now in production. This is the second producing oil well at the project.
The well completion program is now finished having undergone a light fracture stimulation ("frack") and acidization of the upper Mississippi oil pay zone formation. Prior to the frack, the 40 foot pay zone was successfully tested and showed an oil cut of over 40% light oil which is now steadily increasing following the completion of the acid treatment.
The well will require several days in order to establish a stable production rate as the remaining frack fluid load will be pumped off during this period. Once fluid removal is complete, the daily oil production rate can be established, which is currently anticipated for an initial production rate (I.P.) in excess of 125 BPD. Ultimately, the true test of the well will be the actual quantity of oil sent to the tanks over the upcoming weeks as it is expected that this early flash of oil will be followed by a period of well stabilization.
As reported earlier, the Company has engineered the next offset location near the NOJ26 and will be announcing a near term spud date sometime in January. With several high quality Mississippian and Woodford development locations engineered as well as exploration locations on the Company's leases, American Petro-Hunter is currently finalizing the 2011 drilling program and will update stakeholders when plans are complete.” Visit this company: www.aaphreport.com

Energy Stocks; American Petro-Hunter (OTCBB: AAPH) Announces Plans for NOS227 as Next Well at North Oklahoma Project

American Petro-Hunter's second producing oil well at North Oklahoma Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - January 4, 2011 (Investorideas.com energy newswire) � Energy company, American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTC.BB:AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company"), today is pleased to announce that the Company has finalized plans for the next oil well to be drilled at the North Oklahoma Project. The well has been designated NOS227 and is planned for a depth of 4,000 feet.

NOS227 will be a vertical well that is a direct offset to the recently completed commercial oil well at the NOJ26 location. The new well is taking advantage of a favorable oil producing geological trend up dip and to the west where the productive Woodford and Mississippi Formations are the primary objective. The location also offers excellent potential in the Simpson and Wilcox formations. A multiple objective well minimizes risk given the four potentially productive horizons.
The Company has received an A.F.E. (Authority for Expenditure) from the operator for a 50% working interest in the upcoming well. The planned spud date will be announced shortly as soon as the schedule can be confirmed with the drilling contractor. Given that the No. 1 well and the NOJ26 well responded to acidization and fracture stimulation of the oil reservoirs, the Company expects that a similar completion programs will be implemented on the NOS227 well. The production target for this well is in the 125 to 150 BPD range; however, if multiple objectives are all productive, rates may be higher.

Coal Stocks; Lucky Strike (TSX.V-LKY) Receives Conditional Approval On 2,400,000 Non-brokered Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - January 3, 2010 (www.Investorideas.com Newswire) - Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. (the Company) (TSX.V-LKY), received conditional approval with respect to the non-brokered private placement of $2.4 million previously announced on December 7, 2010.

About the Changyun Coal Project
Located within the Bijie coal fields, Guizhou Province, the Changyun coal mine covers an area of 2.0954 sq. km with valid mining permits for a 150,000 MTPY coal mining operation, which may be expanded to 300,000 - 500,000 MTPY. Local historical reports (non-compliant with NI 43-101) state that coal seams within the mine area are highly altered and would produce a low ash, low to medium sulphur (average 0.23%), and low-volatile (7-8% volatile matter) product, with high gross calorific value that ranges from 6400 to 7200 Kcal/kg. The thermal grade coal is suitable for power plant use. A ready market for production exists with the nearby power plants and other end users within Guizhou province.
In addition to the mine, Changyun has recently been provided with preferential rights to explore and develop a 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration land surrounding the mine.

2010 Great for the Stock Market and even better for certain Solar Stocks

The Market in 2010
Solar Stocks and Market Commentary with J Peter Lynch
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York � December 31, 2010 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new solar stocks commentary from solar contributor, J. Peter Lynch.
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch -
Read other articles, Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com: http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
2010 was certainly a year to remember. It had its ups and it had it downs, but in the end it was up an average of 13.87% (averaging the three major indexes � see table below) that is a far better than the average year and despite a constant barrage of terrible news the market continued to climb its �wall of worry�.

With everyone worrying about jobs and the economy the year seemed to be a never ending sequence of one bad set of news after the other. But if there is one think I have learned over the years is NEVER to listen to the talking heads on TV or to the hundreds of �experts� all over the internet who tell you what is going to happen tomorrow based upon what has happened today. That is silly and also, more importantly, impossible. No one can know what is going to happen or why it is going to happen, if you pay close attention you will eventually see that everyone is clearly guessing and guessing is NOT one of the tools that a successful investor employs.
The Importance of seeing �What is� verses what we think �should� be
Let me give you a totally NON logical example that will make it clear that guessing and perhaps "logical" are not really good tools for an investor. I think I can safely say that the top topics for 2010 and the ones that are on everyone's mind are: jobs, the economy, the housing crisis and the persistent recession as it drags on. So, given that background, what do you think were the top 3 market sectors in 2010 in terms of returns for investors?
Give up? Can't even guess?
Well they were:

1. Autos
2. Restaurants
3. Leisure

All of them are consumer related and we all KNOW (for sure?) that this is a terrible recession and that the economy is in bad shape and that it would be impossible for consumer related areas to do well, right?
Wrong! They not only did well they were the best 3 areas.
So what can we learn from this?
What we can learn is that an investor has to STOP thinking they KNOW what "should be" given the circumstances as the investor sees them and realize that the most important thing is NOT what you think should be but "WHAT IS". If umbrella sales are going thru the roof during a massive drought - forget about what you "know" - BUY umbrella stocks!
The Best and the Worst of 2010
Now that you know the three best areas for investors in 2010, what was the worst area for investors in 2011?
The worst area for investors in 2011 was the solar sector, specifically the PV sector that we follow closely it was down and average of 14.6% in a very good year (up 13.87% on average) for the market.
Based upon this fact, it would be terrible to invest in this area for any sane investor? Correct?
Well in general, yes. If you bought each of our solar stocks you would have been down approximately 14.6% for the year. However, if you bought the "best" of the solar stocks - our solar seven, you would have been up an average of 42.94% more than 300% better than the general market averages.

Solar Seven Selection Criteria
Back in the beginning of 2010 I explained that we were rating all of our solar stocks and that the seven strongest stocks – later named – “The Solar Seven” were the strongest stocks among the industry. My rating system is a proprietary combination of various relative strength measures, technical measures and some fundamental components.
What can we learn from this amazing performance in a terrible solar market?
What we can learn is that there are always stocks going up somewhere, even in a terrible market and if you select the “strongest” stocks in a given market segment you will, on average, do quite well. Even if, they are umbrella’s in a drought – regardless of what you “think” you know, always remember that “what is, is” and always buy the strongest stocks in a sector or market. You may not always know “why” something happens, but you will, on average, do much better than most investors and most likely better than the market.

Nanotechnology Stocks; mPhase Technologies (OTC.BB:XDSL) Continues to Position Scalable Smart Reserve Cell Technology for 2011 Federal Funding


LITTLE FALLS, NJ - December 30, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL) announced today that it will recommence active efforts in January of 2011 to secure federal funding for its scalable smart reserve cell technology, one of the line items included in the Fiscal Year 2011 Defense Appropriations bill that was passed in the United States House of Representatives. Scalable Smart Reserve Cell Technology was listed to receive funding as part of the omnibus appropriations bill that failed to achieve a bipartisan compromise in the United States Senate in December of 2010, as part of the budget for the current 2011 fiscal year. Nevertheless, the Company is actively seeking to have such line item funding reintroduced in January of 2011, as part of early consideration in a defense appropriations bill for the 2011 fiscal year, and it is anticipated that it should be a high-priority item for the next Congress to augment to the temporary resolution that is currently funding the U.S. government.

"We are encouraged that the prior Congress has recognized the importance of this technology," said Mr. Ronald Durando, mPhase's President and Chief Executive Officer. The bill that was passed by the House of Representative in the last Congressional session is the first time Congress specifically designated funding for this type of technology. The Company continues to believe that it will be well positioned for a defense appropriations line item in the next Congress that convenes in January of 2011, given the company's leadership in the field.
The company is a leader in developing new innovative products using micro fluid dynamics, MEMS and super-hydrophobic suspension and separation of liquids on micro structures of silicon, developed through the science of nanotechnology. mPhase began using nanotechnology to develop power cells in 2004 with the Bell Labs division of Alcatel-Lucent (formerly Lucent Technologies, Inc.)
The Company has successfully delivered to the United States Army under a Phase II STTR grant a prototype of its Smart NanoBattery. "We believe that the successful delivery of a prototype of a first of its kind reserve battery designed for backup power for critical mission computer memory is vital in strategic weapons systems and sensor networks," said Durando. The company is positioned to custom tailor its Smart NanoBattery for a variety of military subsystems and critical mission commercial products. The Company is in the process of applying for new Phase I grants under both STTR and SBIR programs promulgated by the United States Department of Defense and the United States Department of Energy, as well as National Science Foundation grants.
About mPhase Technologies, Inc.
mPhase Technologies is introducing a revolutionary Smart Surface technology enabled by breakthroughs in nanotechnology, MEMS processing and microfluidics. Our Smart Surface technology has potential applications within drug delivery systems, lab on a chip analytic systems, self cleaning systems, liquid and chemical sensor systems, and filtration systems. mPhase has pioneered its first Smart Surface enabled product, the mPhase Smart NanoBattery.
In addition to the Smart Surface technology, mPhase recently introduced its first product, the mPower Emergency Illuminator, an award winning product designed by PorscheDesign Studio and sold via the mPower website: http://www.mpowertech.com.
