China Stock News; A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH)

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, publishes an industry overview and growth opportunities for China America Holdings (OTC.BB: CAAH), a company positioned in the interior tile industry in China for both residential and commercial markets.
A Potential Ground Floor Opportunity with China America Holdings, Inc
By: Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

China America Holdings, Inc. (OTC.BB: CAAH). is a holding company which owns a 100% stake in Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. based in Zhucheng city of Shandong Province in China. Ziyang Ceramics Co., Ltd. manufactures porcelain tiles used for interior residential and commercial flooring and sells through a distribution network of more than 150 distributors across 10 provinces concentrating on major second and third tier cities located primarily in Eastern and Central China.
As an indication of the CAAH growth opportunity, following are comments and forecasts on the key markets and trends for Chinese real estate in general and for ceramic tiles in particular.
Cushman & Wakefield estimates 35% Commercial Real Estate Development Growth for Q1 2011: “Chinese real estate market has gone through a year of stringent controls in 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the commercial property market in China witnessed new highs in the office, retail, industrial and investment markets. In the first two months of 2011, total volume of investment in real estate development grew by 35% year-on-year. Despite the government's tightening control of the property market, the pace of the real estate development in China is still accelerating.”
SouFun Holdings Limited America (NYSE: SFUN) reports record revenue for Q3 2011: As another indicator of the growth of the Chinese real estate market, SouFun, which operates the leading real estate internet portal and home furnishing and improvement website in China, continues to report substantial growth. For Q3 11, SFUN reported that quarterly revenue of $109 million nearly doubled over Q3 10. The Company also reported that revenue grew 116% from 2008 - 2010. Marketing generated 75% of SFUN 2010 revenue, and includes traditional Internet advertisements such as banners, links, logos and floating signs, as well as featured promotions. As an illustration of the types of operators that are active in the real estate sector, SFUN reports that its customers consist of the types of customers also likely to be tile purchasers, including:

• real estate developers
• real estate professionals, such as agents and brokers
• retailers and other suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services
• home design, decoration and re-modeling companies
• banks offering residential mortgage loan products

Growth in China's Tile Market: Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK), a leading U.S. flooring company, estimates that China's tile market grew 15.6% annually from 2005 to 2009, when annual sales reached 59,200 sq. ft. in sales in China.
China Ceramics Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: CCCL) Forecasts Net Increase in Urban Residential Building Stock in 10 Chinese Cities as Equal to or Greater than the Existing Residential Building Stock of Some European Countries: While the degree of growth cited by Cushman & Wakefield leads some to believe that the Chinese real market is strong and growing, this rapid growth has caused others to ask whether the Chinese real estate market is a bubble. This question was the subject a recent Time magazine article in which the possibility of a Chinese real estate bubble was argued to be as important an economic question as the future of the Euro and whether the U.S. re-enters a recession.
While the growth of the Chinese real estate market may be unprecedented, the massive rural to urban migration continues as some estimates forecast that 400 million more Chinese citizens will urbanize over the coming decades. While the market's ability to address this massive historical and current growth may be uncertain in the near term, and the impact of PRC monetary and fiscal policy on the market also is uncertain, the longer term trend towards a massive continuing wave of urbanization seems clear.
As one example of the potential for companies whose products supply this urbanization, the following data from China Ceramics Co. Ltd. illustrates the magnitude of the opportunity. Citing sources including the Economist Intelligence Unit, National Bureau of Statistics (China), and UNECE, CCCL's September 2011 Investor Presentation provides the following comparison for growth in Chinese cities relative to ten European nations:

Forecast of Net Increase 2011 - 2020		Existing Residential Building Stock
Chongqing	1,109	Poland	807
Chengdu	447	Greece	494
Zhengzhou	396	Portugal	424
Tianjin	389	Sweden	411
Beijing	350	Czech Rep.	369
Xi'an	279	Romania	366
Changsha	272	Switzerland	352
Shanghai	271	Hungary	319
Shenzhen	265	Austria	318
Dongguan	234	Denmark	282
a. all data in mm sq. meters
b. Figures are for urban areas within referenced prefecture/municipality.
c . Chongqing municipality's unusually large increase partly reflects its large size compared with other prefectures.

Although it may or may not be the case that China's real estate market has grown too much too fast, a longer term view seems to support the argument that a massive wave of urbanization is likely to continue, and this creates a broad range of commercial opportunity. With a reported $12 million in revenue for Q3 11 representing a 39% year over year increase, and a network of 150 distributors in 10 Chinese provinces, China America seems to be in position to take advantage of the long-term Chinese real estate and tile market trends.

Electric Car Stock News: Car Charging Group (OTCBB:CCGI) Awarded $1 Million Grant by Pennsylvania Department of EP


MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - December 15, 2011 (Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire) - Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, today announced it has been awarded a $1 million grant by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to install EV charging stations at 17 service plazas on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

"This grant represents a tremendous accomplishment for our Company and endorsement of our industry leading capabilities to install and operate EV charging stations," said Michael D. Farkas, CEO of Car Charging Group. "We are extremely excited about this major project with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to further develop EV infrastructure on the Pennsylvania Turnpike."
"Pennsylvania has been -- and will continue to be -- a nationwide leader on energy issues in all sectors," Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Mike Krancer said.
"The Pennsylvania Turnpike has a long history of innovation in highway transportation," Turnpike Commission Chairman William K. Lieberman said. "We are pleased to participate in the effort to expand the electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Pennsylvania by offering electric car owners easy access to charging stations at convenient locations."
Car Charging Group will install Level II charging stations, which can charge a car in roughly four hours, and Level III charging stations, which can charge a car in about 20 minutes. The EV charging stations will be installed at the service plazas in three phases. The first phase of the work will be incorporated into ongoing service-plaza renovations between Harrisburg and New Jersey. Later phases will involve service plazas between Harrisburg and Ohio, and then along the Northeastern Extension. The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2013.
Car Charging Group will install 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 flexible payment options, the ability to make reservations, and tracking of 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.
The Turnpike Commission has also committed up to $500,000 in electric upgrades at the plazas to provide the charging stations with the necessary voltage.
The DEP grant is provided through the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant Program, which is funded by a portion of the gross utilities receipts tax.
About Car Charging Group, Inc.:
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CCGI.OB), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is the pioneer and one of the nation's fastest growing providers of EV charging services. Our ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. Our strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. After strategically assessing the most suitable and visible locations with our facility partners, we install and maintain the EV charging stations at no cost to our partners. Our partners benefit by sharing in the revenue generated from the EV charging stations while enhancing green initiatives throughout their business operations.

More than one million plug-in electric vehicles, such as the Nissan LEAF, GM Chevrolet Volt, Fisker Karma, Tesla Model S, Ford Focus EV as well as many others, are expected to be on the road in the U.S. by 2015 with estimates calling for more than 40 million on the road worldwide in 2030.

Biotech/ Pharma Stock Trading Alert: Antares (NYSE Amex: AIS) Trades Down on BioSante News

Point Roberts, WA - December 15, 2011 - Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a trading alert for Antares Pharma, Inc. (NYSE Amex: AIS). The stock is trading down at $1.63, down 0.78 (32.37%) 12:28PM EST with a low of $1.51, following news from partner BioSante Pharmaceuticals.

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPAX) announced on the close yesterday that its top-line results from its two pivotal Phase III LibiGel (testosterone gel) efficacy trials. Initial analysis of the data from these trials shows that the trials did not meet the co-primary or secondary endpoints. Although there were no statistical differences in the endpoints, all results were in the appropriate directions. LibiGel is in development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), specifically, hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in postmenopausal women, for which there is no FDA-approved product. BioSante is trading down at $0.4801, down 1.6399 (77.35%) 12:28PM EST.
Antares' partnership with BioSante includes LibiGel® transdermal testosterone gel in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction (FSD).
"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."

What’s Charging the Electric Car Market? – How Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI) and The Better Place are Growing the Global EV Infrastructure


POINT ROBERTS, December 14, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for independent investors, publishes the following CFA commentary on the EV charging market and how Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI) and the Better Place are growing the global infrastructure for electric cars .

The report, Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market

Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is one of the nation's fastest growing providers of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services. The Company’s ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. The CCGI strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. Since launching operations in 2009, CCGI has developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. In addition to working with private enterprise, CCGI also pursues public sector opportunities. As an example, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection[i] announced 12/14/11 that that CCGI has been awarded a $1 million grant to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure by installing charging stations at 17 Turnpike service plazas.
In an attempt to understand the magnitude of the potential demand load increase, and to prepare for the impact the EV market growth may have on the electric grid, the ISO/RTC Council commissioned a study , “Assessment of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration with ISO/RTO Systems,” in which it was estimated that 1 million to 2.5 million EV’s may be on North American roads by 2015 – 2020. The following graphic illustrates the reports conclusion that the “slow” growth scenario is likely to result in 1 million EV by 2020:


For the period from 2017 – 2030, the study finds that: “This period is considered as the beginning of the mass-market...New technologies, advanced features, and new charging capabilities likely will be available. Third-generation PEVs are likely to begin appearing on the market. Most importantly, the vehicles will likely have appeal to mainstream automotive customers and become mass market products.”
With an estimated 842 vehicles per 1,000 citizens in the U.S. alone and the developing world’s per capita vehicle ownership ratios still exponentially below those of the U.S., the potential market opportunity for EV’s and the charging of EV’s is challenging to quantify but not difficult to characterize as very large.
Based on the recent capital raise by EV charging system operator Better Place, it seems clear that investors such as GE, UBS, HSBC and Morgan Stanley have concluded that the opportunity is indeed significant for the right operator. Announced November 11, 2011, Better Place recently completed a $200 million financing that valued the company at $2.25 billion on a post money / fully diluted basis. Better Place also reported that the Company has raised $750 million since its founding in 2007.
The Better Place solution is a model in which batteries are switched out rather than re-charged in the vehicle. According to its corporate description, Better Place “owns and operates a network of battery switch stations and public/personal charge spots, along with the supply of batteries that power the cars, to provide drivers with instant range extension and the convenience to drive, switch and go across an entire region.” Better Place also reported that the financing proceeds would be used to expand operations into Western Europe and that other deployments are in progress in two U.S. states and several other countries.
As a private company, Better Place has no obligation to disclose detailed operational and financial data, so it is challenging to analyze its valuation relative to publicly traded companies such as Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI), which as noted previously, has reported that its partner relationships provide access to 6.4 million parking spots, while CCGI's recent market capitalization was under $65 million.. There are publicly traded companies such as iGo, Inc. (NASDAQ: IGOI) and ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG) whose operations have some degree of comparability to those of Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI). However, like some of the electronics industry titans with some manner of presence in the sector, Car Charging Group’s (OTCBB: CCGI) comparables generally have operations that also include products and markets other than EV charging systems.
Regardless of the valuation methodology, given the level at which Better Place recently was valued by a group of sophisticated investors, it seems clear that the market is concluding that there is an opportunity to thrive in the car charging sector. Companies with strong systems, management teams, relationships and competitive positions may be worth a closer look for investors interested in finding a way to take advantage of what seems to be a rapidly expanding EV charging market.

Electric Car Stock News Alert; (OTCBB: CCGI); Opportunity and Valuation in the EV Charging Market

POINT ROBERTS, December 15, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for independent investors, publishes the following CFA commentary on Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI). The report, Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is one of the nation's fastest growing providers of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services. The Company's ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. The CCGI strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. Since launching operations in 2009, CCGI has developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. In addition to working with private enterprise, CCGI also pursues public sector opportunities. As an example, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection[i] announced 12/14/11 that that CCGI has been awarded a $1 million grant to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure by installing charging stations at 17 Turnpike service plazas.
In an attempt to understand the magnitude of the potential demand load increase, and to prepare for the impact the EV market growth may have on the electric grid, the ISO/RTC Council commissioned a study, "Assessment of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration with ISO/RTO Systems," in which it was estimated that 1 million to 2.5 million EV's may be on North American roads by 2015 - 2020. The following graphic illustrates the reports conclusion that the "slow" growth scenario is likely to result in 1 million EV by 2020:
Comprised of 10 North American Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) http://www.isorto.org/atf/cf/%7B5B4E85C6-7EAC-40A0-8DC3-003829518EBD%7D/IRC_Report_Assessment_of_Plug-in_Electric_Vehicle_Integration_with_ISO-RTO_Systems_03232010.pdf
For the period from 2017 - 2030, the study finds that: "This period is considered as the beginning of the mass-market...New technologies, advanced features, and new charging capabilities likely will be available. Third-generation PEVs are likely to begin appearing on the market. Most importantly, the vehicles will likely have appeal to mainstream automotive customers and become mass market products."
With an estimated 842 vehicles per 1,000 citizens in the U.S. alone and the developing world's per capita vehicle ownership ratios still exponentially below those of the U.S., the potential market opportunity for EV's and the charging of EV's is challenging to quantify but not difficult to characterize as very large.

OTC Biotech Stock News; Aethlon (OTCBB: AEMD) Reports HIV Breakthrough

San Diego, December 14, 2011 - (Investorideas.com Biotech/PharmaNewswire) HIV Medical Technology News Update - Aethlon Medical, Inc. (OTCBB:AEMD), a pioneer in developing therapeutic filtration devices to address infectious disease and cancer, reports that researchers have discovered that the Aethlon Hemopurifier® is able to capture particles known as Nef protein exosomes, which contribute to the progression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Aethlon Medical's Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class therapeutic device that selectively targets the clearance of viruses, immunosuppressive proteins, and disease enhancing exosomes from the entire the entire circulatory system.
Nef or "Negative Factor" protein is a highly abundant HIV accessory protein that plays an essential role in AIDS progression, yet has eluded HIV drug discovery efforts. Nef protein is secreted from infected cells in small membrane-bound packages called "exosomes." These exosomes fuse with non-infected cells and cause a variety of effects, including programmed cell death of CD4+ immune cells, the hallmark of AIDS. The Hemopurifier® provides a strategy to address Nef exosomes, which are present in the blood of HIV infected individuals. In an ex vivo validation study conducted by researchers at Morehouse School of Medicine, a small-scale Hemopurifier® reduced the presence of Nef exosomes in cell-culture fluids by greater than 85% in less than 24 hours. The outcome represents the first demonstration that a medical device can selectively target Nef exosomes.
"It is becoming increasingly clear that many viruses, including HIV, exploit the mechanisms of exosome production for their secretion and pathogenesis," stated Michael Powell, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Director of Proteomics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Immunology at Morehouse School of Medicine. "Therefore, therapies that target circulating exosomes hold great promise to advance antiviral strategies."
In addition to Nef exosomes, the Hemopurifier® is the subject of multi-cancer studies against tumor-secreted exosomes that facilitate the ability of cancerous tumors to evade the immune response. Tumor-secreted exosomes are implicated in the survival, growth, and metastasis of cancer. Additionally, the Hemopurifier® is being evaluated in human studies as an adjunct therapy to improve outcomes of HCV patients receiving interferon therapy.
"First and foremost, our clinical focus is to demonstrate that our Hemopurifier® improves the benefit of Hepatitis-C virus (HCV) therapies, stated Jim Joyce, CEO and founder of Aethlon Medical. �However, when considering our previous HIV treatment experience, the emerging insight that we can address Nef exosomes provides a further basis for us to pursue clinical opportunities to treat HIV-infected individuals," stated Jim Joyce, CEO and founder of Aethlon Medical.
In a previous proof-of-principle study, an HIV-infected dialysis patient diagnosed with AIDS received Hemopurifier® therapy during his normal dialysis treatment, resulting in the administration of three weekly Hemopurifier® treatments over the period of one month. The study was conducted in the absence of any antiviral drug administration. In addition to demonstrating treatment safety in an immune-compromised AIDS patient, HIV viral load of the patient was reduced from 102,759 iu/ml at the beginning of treatment one to a final value of 7,978 iu/ml at the end of treatment twelve, representing a 92% reduction. Viral load remained 56% below initial testing values when measured 14-days after last Hemopurifier(r) therapy. Additionally, CD4 t-cell to lymphocyte ratios increased from 13.5% to 18.05% during the study. A ratio below 15% represents a clinical definition of AIDS. The study was conducted at the Sigma New Life Hospital in India.
