Biotech /Pharma Stock Trading Alert: Antares (NYSE Amex: AIS) Moves Up 30% From December 15th Lows
 
December 15th; “Antares Sell-Off is a Holiday Gift”- Josh Levine  


Point Roberts, WA- December 30 , 2011- 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).

The stock is trading at $2.20, up strongly from its sell off and low of $1.51 on December 15th, following news from partner BioSante Pharmaceuticals.

Following up his comments about AIS on December 15, Josh Levine said today: “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.”



December 15th- “Antares Sell-Off is a Holiday Gift”- Josh Levine -

“After the market close yesterday, Antares Pharma (AIS) partner Biosante reported results from two Phase III efficacy trials for Libigel, which is used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder in post-menopausal women. Here’s the bottom line: While Libigel was extremely effective and reinforced previous studies, the placebo group fared nearly as well. The failure appears to have been due to a surprisingly high placebo effect. The impact on Biosante is devastating, but it’s 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 also noted, “Libigel, if successful, would have only begun contributing revenues to Antares in 2015.”

Mining and Gold Stock Interview with President of Yale Resources (TSX-V: YLL) Discussing Operations for 2011 and Plans for 2012


POINT ROBERTS, December 29, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, including gold and mining stocks features an exclusive interview with Ian Foreman, P.Geo, President of Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V - YLL and Frankfurt - YAB). Ian discusses the Company results for 2011 and what the Company has planned for 2012.
Yale Interview
Q: Investorideas.com
Ian you recently issued a press release on the year end summary of 2011 operations. Can you give investors some of the key points?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
The key point is that 2011 was a tough year for the mining/exploration sector and in spite of that Yale came out of it smelling like a rose! We are surrounded by companies that had to do large dilutive financings to survive and Yale's business model protected it from doing so. In fact, if you add up Yale's current short term investments, revenue from all sources and exploration funded by our optionees, Yale would have had to issue in the order of 26 million shares through financings! A 30% dilution in the fully diluted capital of the Company that did not happen!!
Q: Investorideas.com
Using the expression "put your money where your mouth is", I see from Sedi.ca that you recently purchased 750,000 shares in Yale?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
Yes, that is correct; I recently bought another 750,000 shares in Yale as I feel very strongly about the long term success of the Company.
Q: Investorideas.com
The Company still has a significant portfolio of properties. What properties will be a priority in 2012 and why?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
We are planning for a minimum of three large programs in the first half of 2012. Los Amoles has grown from an early stage (generated) prospect to a project that should receive some drilling. Orofino will also receive a couple of hundred thousand dollars of exploration. However, the biggest program that we are planning for is at Urique - our optionee, Mammoth Resources, has just started trading - literally today - and they are planning a significant exploration campaign at Urique. There are some legal issues that have to be sorted out at Guadalupe, but our optionee on that property is responsible for the funding there and finally, we will have some results coming out early in the New Year from our drilling at Dos Naciones, which will dictate the scope of ongoing work there.
All in all, we are preparing for a very busy first 6 months of 2012 - should be exciting!
Q : Investorideas.com
Do you plan on looking at new properties for 2012?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
We are always looking at new properties. What the public doesn't necessarily know is that we are always evaluating properties and making offers or trying to acquire new projects. We evaluated a large number of properties in 2011 but didn't find any that fit our strict criterion.
With luck we'll be able to bring a couple more properties into Yale in 2012. I didn't want to have too large a number of available properties 'in inventory', so now that we have two more projects optioned out, it makes sense for us to bring more properties into the company.
Q: Investorideas.com
What would you say was your biggest obstacle in 2011 and has the Company overcome it?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
I think that our biggest obstacle in 2011 was difficult financial conditions combined with share holder apathy. I feel that Yale was punished in the market and not fairly so. I have always been careful about setting expectations and I have always been careful to state realistic goals and objectives for our shareholders. I also have a very good track record for accomplishing those.
There was a time, in September I believe, where there were rumours spreading that Yale was 'going out of business or bankrupt' and that obviously proved false. There was a fund that decided to sell approximately 3 million shares in the market and we were able to arrange sufficient buying to absorb that, however, that may have created a sense of "the sky is falling" and all the "Chicken Littles" out there panicked.
I stated in a previous interview that Yale is stronger today than last week and stronger last week than a couple of months ago. This is a 'growth story' and we are building upon our successes. In my opinion, there is no reason that Yale should be trading at these low levels, but sadly, I don't get to set the value of our stock. Again, this is the reason I purchased an additional 750,000 shares.
Q: Investorideas.com
Why do you think some of the junior mining stocks did not really get to participate in the physical gold rally in 2011?
A: Ian Foreman, P.Geo, .President
Well, there are a lot of pundits who look at the markets for a living so I won't go into details. However, I can comment on that from a Yale perspective - it seems that there just wasn't enough confidence in what investors were reading/hearing as there is a general 'been there, done that, got burned' mentality. You can only hear so much regarding the decoupling of the dollar/gold relationship and the 'PIGS' in Europe and the prospect of a depression and the slowing of the Chinese economy and continued strife in American politics before one gets burned out…
I am very enthusiastic to bring in the New Year. With luck, the year will get started off as 2011 did but the rally will last longer!!

Magnesium Producer China Direct (NASDAQ:CDII) Reports Fiscal 2011 Revenue of $187.8 million, up 66.6%

DEERFIELD BEACH , FL - (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Magnesium stock news: China Direct Industries, Inc (NASDAQ: CDII), a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China and the Americas in two core business segments, announced today its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
  • Fiscal 2011 revenue reaches $187.8 million up 66.6% from fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 net income attributable to China Direct Industries rises to $9.3 million up from a loss of ($3.2 million) in fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 Diluted EPS climbs to $0.25 compared to a loss of ($0.11) in fiscal 2010
Financial Highlights
For the full year of fiscal 2011 total revenues increased to $187.8 million, an increase of 66.6% compared to total revenues of $112.7 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Our gross profit reached $19.5 million, up 171.1% compared to gross profit of $7.2 million recorded in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit margins improved to 10.4% in fiscal 2011, an increase of 63% compared to gross margins of 6.4% in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, our operations resulted in net income attributable to China Direct Industries of $9.3 million compared to a net loss of ($3.2 million) recorded in fiscal 2010. Earnings per basic share reached $0.26 in fiscal 2011 on 36.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share were $0.25 in fiscal 2011 on 36.8 million weighted average shares. This compares to a net loss of ($0.11) per basic and diluted share in fiscal 2010 on 29.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.
We experienced significant growth across all of our business segments reflecting stronger demand in the end markets we service as well as revenue contribution from our Ruiming Magnesium acquisition, our consulting segment and our international commodities business. In our magnesium segment, revenue reached $99.9 million, an increase of 95.3% from fiscal 2010 where revenue was $55.1 million. The increase in revenues is attributable to both an increase in shipment volume as well as an increase in the average sale price of our magnesium products. We shipped 36,637 metric tons during fiscal 2011, up 68.2% from shipments of 21,786 metric tons of magnesium products in fiscal 2010. Average sale price of our magnesium products per ton increased to $2,703 in fiscal 2011, up 15.1% from $2,348 in fiscal 2010 as magnesium prices incrementally improved throughout fiscal 2011. The improvement in average sales price and volumes enabled our magnesium segment to achieve net income attributable to China Direct Industries of approximately $243,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2011, gross profit for this segment was $3.2 million, inclusive of $2.5 million in depreciation expenses, an increase of 81.9% compared to gross profit of $1.8 million, inclusive of $1.3 million in depreciation, recorded in fiscal 2010. Our magnesium operations resulted in an operating loss of ($865,000), inclusive of $4.3 million in depreciation related expenses. This compares to fiscal 2010 operating loss of ($897,000), inclusive of $2.6 million in depreciation related expenses. In our basic materials segment overall revenue increased to $68.9 million, a 17.2% improvement from the $58.8 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment reached $3.8 million, an increase of 22.5% from fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit was largely driven by sales of iron ore from our U.S. based industrial commodities business. Operating income for our basic materials segment in fiscal 2011 was $129,000, compared to $174,000 recorded in the same period of prior year. Total revenues in our consulting segment in fiscal 2011 rose to $19.0 million, up from $2.8 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment totaled $12.5 million compared to $2.3 million recorded in the fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit for this segment was mostly attributable to fees earned for consulting services provided to two new clients during fiscal 2011. Operating income for our consulting segment improved to $7.3 million from an operating loss of ($3.5 million) recorded in fiscal 2010.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2011, total assets were $116.0 million and shareholder equity was $68.0 million with 40.4 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2010, total assets were $95.9 million and shareholder equity of $50.2 million with 31.7 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2011 cash and cash equivalents were $12.6 million with prepaid expenses of $14.4 million as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million with $8.6 million in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2010. Working capital improved to $44.5 million compared to $30.3 million at September 30, 2010.
The overall environment in our various segments strengthened throughout fiscal 2011 and we now look to build on our momentum in fiscal 2012. While we experienced some cyclical softness in magnesium demand toward the end of calendar 2011, we entered fiscal 2012 with magnesium prices significantly higher than in the early part of fiscal 2011. Management believes that we have positioned our company to take a major step forward in this segment in 2012 through our planned acquisitions as well as through our use of cleaner more efficient waste gas. We anticipate that overall supply in China will be constricted later in fiscal 2012 and into fiscal 2013, as competitors using coal for fuel remain under pressure from environmental regulations and energy costs. We are also confident that our efforts in our industrial commodities business will lead to progressive revenue growth throughout fiscal 2012 as we have cleared regulatory hurdles in Mexico and South America to deliver commodities on a continuous basis into China. Through this business, along with our consulting and magnesium operations, we enter fiscal 2012, poised to build a more global company with revenue streams in China as well as the Americas. We intend to evaluate additional opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to further diversify our revenue base geographically. We anticipate an improvement in our performance in fiscal 2012 as we continue to build our company for the future. We will further discuss our operating results as well as our outlook for fiscal 2012 during the conference call today, December 22, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Commenting on our results for fiscal 2011, Dr. James Wang, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Industries, Inc., stated, "Fiscal 2011 marked a return to profitability for China Direct Industries. We achieved significant growth across all of our business segments and moved forward with consolidation plans in our magnesium segment and our international expansion into North and South America through our industrial commodities business. The progressive improvement in our magnesium segment, where shipments and average pricing increased throughout the fiscal year, enabled this segment to return to bottom line profitability in the fourth quarter. We added a new international revenue stream through the commencement of sales of iron ore, sourced from Mexico into China, and are working diligently to build on the relationships we have forged in Chile and Bolivia to rapidly grow our commodities business throughout fiscal 2012. The current environment for Chinese companies publicly trading in the U.S. has created opportunities for our consulting segment and we are currently aggressively marketing our services both in China and the U.S. We believe our efforts will enable this segment to continue to be a strong driver of growth for our company in fiscal 2012. As we move into the future, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and look to improve performance through internal growth and international business expansion to position China Direct Industries to build on our strong performance in fiscal 2011."

Mining Stocks; YALE (TSX-V: YLL) Summarizes Difficult 2011 and Looks Forward to 2012

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - December 23, 2011 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Yale Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: YLL and Frankfurt: YAB) (Pink Sheets: YRLLF.pk) is pleased to provide a summary of its finances in 2011 and give an overview of its plans for 2012.
In calendar year 2011 Yale generated modest revenue of approximately $193,000 as a result of cash payments and management fees from optionees, sale of shares in optionees, oil and gas revenue, and consulting for third party companies. In addition, current free trading, saleable, shares amount to approximately $227,000 as of Dec. 22.
"The combination of revenue, current liquid assets and exploration expenditures funded by our optionees amounts to the equivalent of approximately 26,500,000 shares, on a fully diluted basis, in financings at $0.05 that Yale would have been required to add to the capital of the Company � a 30 % dilution in the Company that didn�t happen � thus showing the true value of our business model," stated Ian Foreman, P.Geo., president of Yale Resources. "This has been a difficult year but not only did we survive, we were able to expand our operations in Mexico and build on our business model by finding additional value-added optionees for our projects."
Moving forward in 2012, the Company anticipates large optionee-funded work programs on at least three projects with Yale as the current operator on each of those projects. In advance of these projects the Company is adding to its Mexican work force. In addition, the Company will continue to review opportunities to add to its portfolio of projects as well as seek additional optionees for its 3 un-optioned properties.
About Yale Resources:
Yale Resources utilizes the project generator business model to maximize its exposure to discovery while minimizing shareholder risk. Yale currently has eight projects in its portfolio of which five are optioned out with commitments totalling approximately $1.3 M in expenditures during the next 12 months.
On behalf of the Board,
"Ian Foreman"
Ian Foreman, P.Geo.
President

China Stock Alert: China Direct Industries (NASDAQ: CDII) Reports Financial Results for 2011 Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL - December 23, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - China Direct Industries, Inc. (the "Company") ( NASDAQ:CDII), a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China and the Americas in two core business segments, announced today its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.
  • Fiscal 2011 revenue reaches $187.8 million up 66.6% from fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 net income attributable to China Direct Industries rises to $9.3 million up from a loss of ($3.2 million) in fiscal 2010
  • Fiscal 2011 Diluted EPS climbs to $0.25 compared to a loss of ($0.11) in fiscal 2010
Financial Highlights
For the full year of fiscal 2011 total revenues increased to $187.8 million, an increase of 66.6% compared to total revenues of $112.7 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Our gross profit reached $19.5 million, up 171.1% compared to gross profit of $7.2 million recorded in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit margins improved to 10.4% in fiscal 2011, an increase of 63% compared to gross margins of 6.4% in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, our operations resulted in net income attributable to China Direct Industries of $9.3 million compared to a net loss of ($3.2 million) recorded in fiscal 2010. Earnings per basic share reached $0.26 in fiscal 2011 on 36.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Earnings per diluted share were $0.25 in fiscal 2011 on 36.8 million weighted average shares. This compares to a net loss of ($0.11) per basic and diluted share in fiscal 2010 on 29.6 million weighted average shares outstanding.
We experienced significant growth across all of our business segments reflecting stronger demand in the end markets we service as well as revenue contribution from our Ruiming Magnesium acquisition, our consulting segment and our international commodities business. In our magnesium segment, revenue reached $99.9 million, an increase of 95.3% from fiscal 2010 where revenue was $55.1 million. The increase in revenues is attributable to both an increase in shipment volume as well as an increase in the average sale price of our magnesium products. We shipped 36,637 metric tons during fiscal 2011, up 68.2% from shipments of 21,786 metric tons of magnesium products in fiscal 2010. Average sale price of our magnesium products per ton increased to $2,703 in fiscal 2011, up 15.1% from $2,348 in fiscal 2010 as magnesium prices incrementally improved throughout fiscal 2011. The improvement in average sales price and volumes enabled our magnesium segment to achieve net income attributable to China Direct Industries of approximately $243,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2011, gross profit for this segment was $3.2 million, inclusive of $2.5 million in depreciation expenses, an increase of 81.9% compared to gross profit of $1.8 million, inclusive of $1.3 million in depreciation, recorded in fiscal 2010. Our magnesium operations resulted in an operating loss of ($865,000), inclusive of $4.3 million in depreciation related expenses. This compares to fiscal 2010 operating loss of ($897,000), inclusive of $2.6 million in depreciation related expenses. In our basic materials segment overall revenue increased to $68.9 million, a 17.2% improvement from the $58.8 million recorded in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment reached $3.8 million, an increase of 22.5% from fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit was largely driven by sales of iron ore from our U.S. based industrial commodities business. Operating income for our basic materials segment in fiscal 2011 was $129,000, compared to $174,000 recorded in the same period of prior year. Total revenues in our consulting segment in fiscal 2011 rose to $19.0 million, up from $2.8 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit for this segment totaled $12.5 million compared to $2.3 million recorded in the fiscal 2010. The increase in revenues and gross profit for this segment was mostly attributable to fees earned for consulting services provided to two new clients during fiscal 2011. Operating income for our consulting segment improved to $7.3 million from an operating loss of ($3.5 million) recorded in fiscal 2010.
Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2011, total assets were $116.0 million and shareholder equity was $68.0 million with 40.4 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2010, total assets were $95.9 million and shareholder equity of $50.2 million with 31.7 million shares outstanding. At September 30, 2011 cash and cash equivalents were $12.6 million with prepaid expenses of $14.4 million as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $10.1 million with $8.6 million in prepaid expenses at September 30, 2010. Working capital improved to $44.5 million compared to $30.3 million at September 30, 2010.
The overall environment in our various segments strengthened throughout fiscal 2011 and we now look to build on our momentum in fiscal 2012. While we experienced some cyclical softness in magnesium demand toward the end of calendar 2011, we entered fiscal 2012 with magnesium prices significantly higher than in the early part of fiscal 2011. Management believes that we have positioned our company to take a major step forward in this segment in 2012 through our planned acquisitions as well as through our use of cleaner more efficient waste gas. We anticipate that overall supply in China will be constricted later in fiscal 2012 and into fiscal 2013, as competitors using coal for fuel remain under pressure from environmental regulations and energy costs. We are also confident that our efforts in our industrial commodities business will lead to progressive revenue growth throughout fiscal 2012 as we have cleared regulatory hurdles in Mexico and South America to deliver commodities on a continuous basis into China. Through this business, along with our consulting and magnesium operations, we enter fiscal 2012, poised to build a more global company with revenue streams in China as well as the Americas. We intend to evaluate additional opportunities in the U.S. and abroad to further diversify our revenue base geographically. We anticipate an improvement in our performance in fiscal 2012 as we continue to build our company for the future. We will further discuss our operating results as well as our outlook for fiscal 2012 during the conference call today, December 22, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
Commenting on our results for fiscal 2011, Dr. James Wang, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Industries, Inc., stated, "Fiscal 2011 marked a return to profitability for China Direct Industries. We achieved significant growth across all of our business segments and moved forward with consolidation plans in our magnesium segment and our international expansion into North and South America through our industrial commodities business. The progressive improvement in our magnesium segment, where shipments and average pricing increased throughout the fiscal year, enabled this segment to return to bottom line profitability in the fourth quarter. We added a new international revenue stream through the commencement of sales of iron ore, sourced from Mexico into China, and are working diligently to build on the relationships we have forged in Chile and Bolivia to rapidly grow our commodities business throughout fiscal 2012. The current environment for Chinese companies publicly trading in the U.S. has created opportunities for our consulting segment and we are currently aggressively marketing our services both in China and the U.S. We believe our efforts will enable this segment to continue to be a strong driver of growth for our company in fiscal 2012. As we move into the future, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and look to improve performance through internal growth and international business expansion to position China Direct Industries to build on our strong performance in fiscal 2011."

Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI) Partners With Federal Realty Investment Trust to Install Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at Retail Sites Nationwide

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - December 20, 2011 (Investorideas.com Newswire) - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, and Federal Realty Investment Trust (NYSE:FRT) announced today a partnership to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Federal Realty's portfolio of 18.6 million square feet of high quality retail assets in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and California.
"Besides the obvious environmental benefits, a big advantage of electric cars will be the ability to conveniently fuel your vehicle when you're already stopped somewhere on your daily routine," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of Car Charging Group. "Because of its prime locations across the nation, Federal Realty's unique retail and mixed use destinations serve as popular gathering places within the communities, making them perfect locations to top off your EV battery while you shop or dine."
During the first phase of the program, EV charging stations will be installed at the following Federal Realty Investment Trust properties:
  • Santana Row in San Jose, California
  • Bethesda Row in Bethesda, Maryland
  • Congressional Plaza and Rockville Town Square in Rockville, Maryland
  • Pentagon Row and The Village at Shirlington in Arlington, Virginia
At these locations, Car Charging Group will install Level II, 240-volt, EV charging stations, manufactured by Coulomb Technologies, the leading EV charging solutions company. Users will have access to the ChargePoint(R) Network, the largest global online network connecting EV drivers to unoccupied charging stations. Car Charging Group will provide its customers with flexible payment options, and the ability to make reservations, as well as track customer usage patterns, energy use, costs and revenues, all via the ChargePoint Network's cloud-based software service plans for managing EV charging operations. Through the network, EV drivers benefit from ChargePoint mobile apps (iPhone, Blackberry and Android), mapping services and driver support services.
"Federal Realty is committed to running our business in a socially responsible manner that balances our consideration for the environment with creating long-term value for our shareholders," said Mike Kelleher, director of asset management of Federal Realty. "The partnership with Car Charging Group to install EV charging stations is the next step in the continual greening of our operations, which already includes the creation of biofuels through recycled oil and grease waste from restaurants at our Bethesda Row mixed-use development, LEED certifications at many of our recent developments as well as numerous energy efficiencies and minimized usage of natural resource at a number of properties throughout the portfolio."
"This is an exciting partnership as it further expands our nationwide EV charging network," said Brian Golomb, director of sales for Car Charging Group, Inc. "These are also high-profile properties, which will bring even further awareness to the importance of EVs in the evolving U.S. transportation system."
