Hmm.. ok.. well, watch them anyways.. Perhaps, they will earn your trust next few months if they can deliver on Shafter which I think will happen..

On the other hand, there are other names such as CDM,TO FVI.TO SVL.V SVM.TO EDR.TO FR.TO PAA.TO .. all of them beaten down.. Or one could always go for SLW.TO

You should check Aurcana .. AUN.V or AUNFF .. Way oversold due to delays at their second mine, Shafter, Texas and concerns re. cash needed to finish the upgrade there..

They announced a $50m loan facility to be finalized in July so no risk of dilution and their cost of production is low so they will be fine even if silver is around here.. Unless POS crashes completely, which personally I don't see..

There are other bigger names out there and as we know all of them are trading near 52 week lows so a lot of choice there..

Acasti’s Capre® Lowers Triglycerides 25% - An All-Natural Blockbuster In The Making?
Acasti Pharma
TSX V: APO
Shares Outstanding: 71.0 million
Fully Diluted: 80.1 million
-------------------------------

Acasti Pharma announced interim results from its phase II open label. Based on an initial sample of 23 patients, of whom 19 had baseline triglyceride levels of between 204 and 476 mg/dl, the data for an eight week treatment with a 2 gram dose showed “a statistically significant” 25% reduction in triglycerides after an eight week treatment period.

Also, there was a “an important” decrease in Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) and non-HDL lipids and increased High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). This information aligns with the company’s objective of producing “The perfect lipid trifecta”.

Here is a table (data provided by Acasti), which outlines how Acasti’s data stacks up to other cholestrol drugs.

Dr. Harlan Waksal, Executive Vice-President, Business and Scientific Affairs was quoted in the news release,

"We are pleased with the progress of our clinical efforts. Most notably, we are very satisfied with the significant impact on triglycerides, even in this hard to treat population of patients in the lower strata of hypertriglyceridemia. Achieving statistical significance with such a low number of patients and only after a short eight-week treatment period definitely encourages us to push our strategy forward towards US clinical studies and validation during the upcoming year".

In response to this morning’s news release Hugh Cleland, Fund Manager at BluMont Capital, said the following:

“This is excellent data. In addition to showing the best trig reduction BY FAR in patients with high triglycerides relative to the 3 competing fish oil drugs, it showed decreases in LDL, AND increases in HDL, something none of GSK, Amarin nor Omthera showed with their drugs in patients with high triglycerides. It appears we not only have the "best-in-class" fish oil drug, we have something special”.

“I believe we now have even more visibility on CaPre being a drug that should sell more than $1billion/year (like GSK’s Lovaza), and could very well become a serious blockbuster (multiple billions/year)”.

Some one has posted the Roth report on Stockhouse.com

Do you have any links because I can't find anything on it.. Thanks..

I have to agree with you.. I have owned AUN for last 3 years and it is finally picking up steam.. Long overdue but have been worth waiting.. Some bold claims and projections in new presentation so I plan to hold another 3 years.. :o)

Wonder if they said anything negative, share price has pulled back all the way to low of the day..

True enough.. However, what this does is give them credibility because the company involved is the right one.. Buffett connection is just incidental..

Brian was on BNN just a minute ago.. Look for the video later on bnn.ca site..

Yes.. If you check the company's web site, under investors, you will see their latest official filing.. Basically, they have found a buyer for CDCS at $10.50 per share for their 88% (or some such number) stake they hold.. This is a stalking horse bid to launch an auction process so they are guaranteed this minimum price per share.. Could end up being higher..

Just shows you, there is a lot of value here despite it being pushed down to pennies a month or so ago..

Still holding all my shares..

Back to $3

BNN Video Clip..

http://watch.bnn.ca/#clip608547

BNN Commodities segment covered Tungsten.. NTC ceo was interviewed but some one else mentioned 2 other names.. One of which was WOF.V - Video of the segment will be available later at bnn.ca

Attended Vancouver Resource Conference ..

Nick and Meredith (IR) were present.. Lots of traffic at the booth.. Quite encouraging.. Had a long chat with Brian W., CEO as well.. Here is what I remember..

- Resource update news release in couple of days per Nick..

- Feasibility Study in 60-90 days - Part of the delay is due to lab work that was moved from Canada to China.. Chinese have the skills since they are the main Tungsten players at this point.. Bankable Feasibility Study is important if we take the debt finaning route..

- Financing and Off take discussions are on going with multiple parties - Capital cost # is still around $130m - Debt financing being considered as well.. Korean Zinc may not be one of the parties staying with their current stake..

- Management looking for best deal for share holders with minimum dilution. Deal along the lines of Korean Zinc from last year are around but WOF has comes a long way from then so no reason to sign such a deal.

- Responses to RFPs are in.. Top notch player with competitive bids.

- Lead time for mills etc. means order must be placed by March, 2012.. So in that sense we are getting near crunch time.. TIght if one considers debt financing, and feasibility study milestone..

- Very strong local support for the project..

- Insider trade of 2m shares by the CEO was a favour to a friend who wanted in on the project.. Reason it is at .35 is because deal was made last year when the price had moved up around that range..

- Remaining payment for 30% buyback with 2% royalty will be in February.. Minor interest cost for that per news release when the deal was announced..

- Cash on hand around $2m

So every thing is moving along but at the same time, we are getting to crunch time.. Finaning news / Offtake agreement is the key news that is required to move the share price as well as raise every one's comfort level so hopefully, we will get that sooner then later..

FWIW..

The price @ .35 per share is interesting and I am wondering mechanics of such a trade..

Any case, Brian and his wife, each still own 9.55m shares.. Brian also have 10.5m options to his name..

I plan to be at Resource Conference on Sunday.. Hopefully, we are closer to home stretch with feasibility and financing.. I want to see the shares in .30+ range soon..

There is an active thread on www.siliconinvestor.com on ORT ..

Vancouver Resource Conference on Jan 22-23

Any one located in Vancouver should definitely check it out.. Some very good presentations and exhibitors.. Registration is free before they close it off a day or two before the conf..

http://cambridgehouse.com/conference-details/vancouver-resource-investment-conference-2012/54

Great stuff.. Own NTB, NEPT and APO so waiting it out.. Let's see what the company has to say tomorrow after hours when they release their numbers..

Thanks for PM.. Needless to say, I can't respond to it via pm..

Let's hope our faith in the company pays off big time.. I have met the CEO 3-4 times, have been in WOF from .12 days and added along the way.. I plan to attend the resource conference on Jan 22 so hopefully, by then share price will start moving upward..

Frankly, I am wondering why it is not in .30+ range already..

Raptor7 on Stockhouse posted this link to a very detailed report on new Tungsten projects including Woulfe.. Worth a look..

http://www.playfairmining.com/i/pdf/Tungsten_Dec11.pdf

So this is where rest of the nuts are hiding.. lol.. There are some on stockhouse.com as well.. Good to know I am not the only one following them..

Woulfe will be at Vancouver Investment Conference on Jan. 22-23.. Hopefully, we hear about the feasibility and financing by then..

I think you're 20 to 30 years younger than me. So there has to be a plus side in there somewhere.


Lol.. I am not sure what gave you that idea Sarmad.. I wish.. I am right behind you.. Hell, few more years and I am going to start asking for senior's discount..

Great.. You have diversified and change your strategy at the same time.. As for frozen north, it is actually wet because I am on the West coast..

Markets have not been that great for me since I have made a ton of stupid moves but on the plus side, I am still here so hopefully I will redeem myself..

Definitely trading oriented environment out there so let's see if I can learn any new tricks.. During the day I hang around couple of chats that run on othernet thru mIRC.. But I got this bookmarked so I will keep track of the discussions..

All the best for 2010..

Well, this is where you have been hiding.. It occurred to me that I had not read one of your bet the farm on Intel post in a long time and got a bit worried.. Some one on SI pointed out where you were.. :o) Don't know what prompted your move but what a relief..

Hope all is well with you..

Looks like NCST wants to do something here.. Have been strong for a while and I think their strategic review for the business might be close to an end.. I figure if they sell the business, it is worth at least 2+ as it stands..

I do hope they do this soon and also get the price they are expecting.. Between 11 - 13.. IF that happens, all of a sudden we are golden..

Wow.. Not a peep today here.. come on guys.. finally time to wake up..

There is nothing to do with this stock except wait for recovery.. next bit of news will be when they report the quarter and their last purchase of a company as well as convert..

The shares are very very cheap but unless some thing catches investors attention again, likely stay like that..

Fully loaded here so no more room to add..

Still own a ton of this stuff.. Never sold at the highs.. sigh..
Added more around .80.. Hopefully, along with buying the notes back they are also reducing the share outstanding meaningfully by buying them at these prices..

Odds are very good for MS.TO .. Personally, since I am a poor trader, I am holding my position.. Luckily I got in 2007 at lower prices so I am willing to see it thru..

And I agree it would have much bigger following and higher prices if this was trading in US..

I am surprised you have not posted anything here.. You realize of course the stock is taking off on this news..

http://www.nationalpost.com/story.html?id=1115836

In addition, the company has instituted a new corporate buy back 10b5-1 plan that went into effect November 10, 2008.

It should be interesting to find out, how many shares are authorized under this new plan..

Don't understand, why don't they spend 20-25m or so and reduce the shares outstanding tangibly.. Will make the difference in bottom line etc..

I hope to see serious insiders buys or serious buyback by the company considering where this is trading.. Under cash per share for god sake.. Truly pathetic if they don't step up to reduce shares significantly..

Good numbers after the close today.. I am reasonably sure, a year out this stock would be a lot higher.. % wise from here on, even if it is in single digit..
