Energy Stock to Watch: Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) Trades up over 6% on Sinopec Deal

POINT ROBERTS, January 3, 2012 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, an investor stock research portal focusing on sector research including energy stocks issues an investor alert for oil and gas stock, Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN). The stock is trading up at$65.94, up 3.94 (6.35%) in morning trading on news of a deal with Sinopec and as oil trades up over $102.00.

Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) today announced it has signed an agreement with Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration & Production Corporation (SIPC) whereby SIPC will invest $2.2 billion in exchange for one-third of Devon’s interest in five new venture plays. Prior to this transaction, Devon had assembled 1.2 million net acres in the company’s previously announced positions in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale, Niobrara, Mississippian, Ohio Utica Shale and the Michigan Basin. The companies have recently added acreage in the Ohio Utica Shale, increasing their joint position in the play to 235,000 net acres.
SIPC will also reimburse Devon for drilling costs incurred prior to closing and acreage acquisition costs incurred subsequent to the effective date of the agreement. SIPC will make a $900 million cash payment upon closing and $1.6 billion paid in the form of a drilling carry. The drilling carry will fund 70 percent of Devon’s capital requirements, which results in SIPC paying 80 percent of the overall development costs during the carry period. Based on the current work plan, the company expects the entire $1.6 billion carry to be realized by year-end 2014. Through 2012, the companies expect to drill approximately 125 gross wells in the five plays.
"This arrangement improves Devon's capital efficiency by recovering our land and drilling costs to date and by significantly reducing our future capital commitments,” said John Richels, Devon's president and chief executive officer. "We can accelerate the derisking and commercialization of these five plays without diverting capital from our core development projects. This transaction also provides us further flexibility to seek exposure to additional new play types with less risk.”
"While we are still in the early stages of derisking these plays, the tremendous response by industry to our data room process clearly underscores the attractiveness of this opportunity,” said Dave Hager, Devon's executive vice president of exploration and production. "We believe our strong acreage positions in these plays, our reputation as a quality operator and the uniqueness of the opportunity for exposure to five different plays in a single venture make this a compelling value proposition.”
Devon will serve as the operator and will have ultimate responsibility for the allocation of capital. The company is also responsible for commercially marketing all production from these plays into the North American market. Subject to customary government and regulatory approvals, the closing is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2012.
Devon Energy Corporation is an Oklahoma City-based independent energy company engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Devon is a leading U.S.-based independent oil and gas producer and is included in the S&P 500 Index. For additional information, visit www.devonenergy.com.

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!!
