SAPX - Finally Time To Bounce?



SAPX at $.0526 a share looks to be putting in a bottom.  The stock has been floating around this range for several trading sessions in a row and I think the stock could see a sharp move higher from here.

RTGV Late Day Buying Volume Pushes Stock To Session Highs







RTGV was trading lower today, but has since reversed course amid heavy buying pressure.  The stock looks poised to close at the session highs.  The $.0047 200DMA and the $.0048 price both represent resistance, a break of those levels and the stock should see $.01 or better in the short term.

IDVC News Out This Morning, Chart Has Stabilized





Infrastructure Developments Corp. Issues Corporate and Shareholder Update GlobeNewswire   "Press Releases" SALT LAKE CITY , May 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infrastructure Developments Corp. (OTCBB:IDVC) (the "Company") wishes to clarify certain considerations regarding the public market for its common stock and recent business development activities. Over the past fifteen months the Company borrowed $214,000 from an investment firm to finance the startup of its U.S. Navy "Lido" project in Indonesia as well as for general corporate expenses. The Company borrowed the funds on terms that included a conversion option at a discount to the trading price in the market. The subsequent conversion of the debt to stock, and the apparent liquidation of stock in the market, resulted in a significant increase in IDVC's public float which increase may have resulted in the drop in IDVC's stock price over the past ten months. Except for $2,000 , all convertible debt that is currently entitled to conversion has been converted to stock as of today's date. The Company plans to repay the remaining balance of $39,000 that will become convertible beginning in September 2012 prior to any such conversion. The Company's losses from the Lido project - due to disputes with local subcontractors and the subsequent termination of the project - resulted in its inability to repay the previous convertible debt. As detailed in the Company's quarterly and annual reports, its Asian region U.S. military contracting operations division has been suspended due to low margins, heavy competition, and lack of funding to advance start up cash for larger projects. As also reported in the Company s annual and quarterly reports, it has written off all losses from its quarry operation in the United Arab Emirates , converted nearly all outstanding debt to equity, and has now stabilized its financial situation. The Company is in position now to grow it new businesses with a clean balance sheet and reduced operating losses. "Due to the previous economic downturn, increased competition in our target markets, and military funding reorganization, we were not as successful in procuring government contracts in the past year," stated the Company's 's CEO Thomas R. Morgan . "However, with the diversification of our business model into the clean energy arena, coupled with the realignment of strategy as it applies to military activities and other Southeast Asian operations, I am hopeful that we will regain our corporate foothold. I look forward to a much improved outlook for the second half of the current fiscal year." The Company continues to evaluate the potential acquisition of InterMedia Development Corporation , a media production company and defense contractor based in Fairfax, Virginia . The Company is awaiting audited financial statements from InterMedia as required to proceed with a merger. The Company is also in the process of formalizing its relationship with Cleanfield Energy, Inc. , with a proposed acquisition plan being currently negotiated and expected to close within the week. Cleanfield is properly set up for compressed natural gas conversions in the Southwest U.S., and is currently bidding on fleet conversions. Lastly, the Company has been selectively bidding to manage private projects in the booming Thailand construction market, and believes that it will be successful in winning projects that have clear profit margins and no advance funding requirements. Forward-Looking Statements: A number of statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties including the acquisition of InterMedia and Cleanfield as subsidiaries, the Company's ability to procure design and management projects, competitive market conditions, and its s prospects for securing additional sources of financing as required. The actual results that the Company may achieve could differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties.

VPER Is Breaking Out To The Upside






News out this morning is helping VPER maintain its price breakout.  The stock is looking to test its 52 week high of $.0084 at some point this week.  Positive news flow as well as strong buying interest should keep the stock moving higher.





Viper Networks Signs Agreement to Acquire 30% of Aequitas Energy

DETROIT, May 29, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Viper Networks, Inc. (Pink Sheets:VPER), is pleased to announce that the Company has finalized agreement terms with Aequitas Energy, Inc. by contractually committing to acquire thirty percent (30%) of the energy reseller company based in New Haven, Connecticut. Agreement terms call for Viper Networks to invest one million U.S. dollars. Total monies due Aequitas may be in two increments throughout the remainder of 2012, but are expected to be in two main $500,000 tranches within two specific time frames.
The first $500k in cash funds is expected within the next twenty days with the second $500k amount by no later than October 31, 2012. The $1 million funding guarantees Viper Networks a 30% ownership position in Aequitas Energy, with a potentially higher ownership percentage in 2013 and beyond per additional investment opportunities that Viper Networks has first right of refusal.
Upon completing the full investment funding amount, Viper Networks will receive at least one seat on the board of directors with certain rights for additional seats that equate ownership percentage with comparable representation on the board. Additionally, the President of Viper Networks is expected to assume an active role in working closely with management at Aequitas Energy in several key areas, including aspects of IT (Information Technology) as it relates to the energy power reseller business as well as direct oversight on use of proceeds in the near future.
Although use of proceeds is designated for general operating purposes, interested parties should note that Aequitas Energy is specifically earmarking the funds to help cover all regulatory licensing requirements and testing of all new power connections prior to rolling out significantly expanded operations, which are expected to commence by December 2012.
Aequitas is uniquely positioned as an emerging energy reseller that is gearing up for rapid growth in the number of residential and commercial customers they expect to provide service for throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts. To date, much of the company's focus has come from well-established ties to the industrial sector and myriad commercial businesses throughout the northeast.
Essentially, Aequitas sources energy from other suppliers to customers at a lower rate than their current utility. For the customer, the transition is seemless as service remains uninterrupted and continues from their local utility company. The change of the customer's supplier will simply be listed in the supplier line featured on their regular utility bill. Government regulations require that the current utility must back up the energy supply of the customer's new provider.

RTGV Breaking Higher




When I posted RTGV yesterday at $.0021, I noted that this stock could be ready for a move higher.  Sure enough the stock headed higher yesterday and again today.

This is the same stock I alerted earlier this year at sub $.001 that ended up hitting almost $.005 for a significant gain.  We have consolidated since and look poised to see that $.0048+ figure again.

This could be the start of a nice rally to bring RTGV shares back over $.01.

ROSG - 800%+ Gain From My Intial Coverage Late Last Year

Late last year I included ROSG in my 2012 charts to watch.  I also noted the stock was one to watch going forward:

http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2011/12/rosg-this-21-stock-worth-look.html

http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2011/12/weekend-charts-ffn-asti-rnn-nyxo-rosg.html

This is what ROSG looked like when I began coverage.  The stock recently did a 15-1 reverse split so prices don't reflect that split.  ROSG when I began my coverage on the stock was $2.70 split adjusted.  Today it hit over $23 a share.



 You can see ROSG bottomed precisely when I called for a bounce in late 2012.  It has since returned over 800%.  All of my charts to watch for 2012 have returned over 150%

I have been looking for ROSG gains for quite some time:  http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2012/01/rosg-another-chart-i-highlighted-turned.html

This is why people trade penny stocks.  To find the stocks that return hundreds of percent.  I've been doing it for countless years.

The Farmee is active in the field having restored production on several existing wells. The Company will receive a carried working interest of 10% on production from those wells.

GNTA - News Out Today Could Propel Stock






If you held GNTA stock over the last few years you would be down 99% of your investment.  But had you played the rallies you would be sitting on several hundred percent or more of gains.

Today's news out from GNTA could spur that type of rally.  The stock has been at solid support for a few weeks and I think we could see a sharp move higher.

I posted the news here

Stock currently is at $.0011 a share.

MSVS - Stock Hits $.001 A Share In Early Afteroon Trade






This is a stock I alerted to my subscribers at the start of this rally.  The stock has closed the previous session at $.0001 when I sent out the alert as the market opened.  Its been on a nice uptrend ever since.  I also covered this stock on my blog last week.

This remains a stock to watch.  The movement higher is coming on strong money flow.  The stock could still be in the early stages of a strong rally.

GWBU Starting To Show Signs Of Breaking Down







GWBU experienced a sharp 30% plunge lower today.  As I said last week I thought the stock would collapse as least 30-40%.  I was right about the collapse but still think a bounce-less collapse will occur at some point.  The stock has posted a recovery since tumbling over 30% and is down only 10%.  Buying interest remains strong but I think today's action is the writing on the walls for the longs in this stock.  The next time this stock tumbles 30-40% again and likely more, it won't be bouncing back up.

DC Brands International, Inc. Announces New President and COO Stephen F. Horgan, an Ex Coca-Cola Executive, Lays Out Plan for Retail Expansion of HARD Nutrition Functional Water Systems PR Newswire   "Press Releases US - English" DENVER , May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DC Brands International, Inc. , a publicly reporting company under the ticker symbol (OTC/HRDN), today announces that new President and COO, Stephen F. Horgan has met with CEO Richard Pearce and presented a preliminary plan to generate revenue, expand distribution and retail exposure, and make the Company profitable. Richard Pearce , the Company CEO reports that, "Stephen has hit the ground running at an accelerated pace. I had asked Stephen to provide me with a very brief, thirty thousand foot view of his plan to take charge of the Company and move it forward to profitability. After moving into his office, and individually meeting for a few hours with each member of the team, he has expressed to me his excitement to be working with such a talented and dedicated group of individuals, and confident that he will be able to execute his plan." Pearce continued, "Stephen has given to me a very rough outline of what he sees as the main issues and tasks to be accomplished in order to immediately begin moving this Company in the right direction. We had always believed that we had developed a great product, but just lacked the connections and expertise in the beverage industry to move the Company forward. Now with the new labels on our HARD Nutrition Functional Water Systems, we are ready to re-launch the product, introduce Professor Nutrition, and gain distribution into an initial 2500 accounts that Stephen and I believe is the critical number in beginning to achieve profitability. I know that Stephen is eager to further define and present the details of his business plan, and I expect that he will do that in the next few weeks. I am confident that Stephen has the skills to accomplish this mission."

Facebook trading sets record IPO volume

Facebook trading sets record IPO volume


facebook ipo tradingFacebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg rang the opening bell remotely, from company headquarters in California.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Facebook's stock market debut finally came and went -- but for all the breathless hype, shares ended right near their offering price.
On Thursday night, Facebook (FB) set its final IPO price at $38 a share. When the stock began trading at 11:30 a.m. ET on Friday, the first trade came in at $42.05 per share -- a gain of nearly 11%.
But the stock quickly reversed course, dropping down to hover right around the $38 IPO price for much of midday trading. Though shares rose modestly for short bursts of time throughout the day, they ended the session at $38.23.
While the price itself didn't move much, trading was fast and intense. More than 80 million shares changed hands in the first 30 seconds of trading. By the end of the day, volume had spiked to around 567 million shares.
That easily set a new volume record for IPOs, smashing the previous record that automaker General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) set in 2010 with trading of around 450 million shares.
Facebook's trading had been expected to start around 11 a.m. ET, but the opening was delayed.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg rang the Nasdaq opening bell remotely, from the company's headquarters in California. Facebook celebrated its public debut by gathering its staff Thursday night for an all-night hackathon.
At the $38 IPO price, Facebook is on track to raise $16 billion -- making it the largest tech IPO in history. It's the third largest U.S. IPO ever, trailing only the $19.7 billion raised by Visa (V, Fortune 500) in March 2008 and the $18.1 billion raised by automaker GM in November 2010, according to rankings by Thomson Reuters.
Underwriters have the option to purchase an extra 63.2 million shares to cover any so-called over-allotments for excess demand. If that happens, Facebook will sell 484.4 million shares in total. That would bring the amount raised to $18.4 billion.
How much Facebook is worth: At $38 per share, Facebook's market capitalization would be around $81 billion on IPO day.
Many Facebook employees and executives hold unexercised stock options. If all of those shares were exercised, Facebook's outstanding share count would rise to around 2.8 billion -- pushing the company's total valuation closer to $107 billion.
Among all global companies, Facebook has the third-highest IPO-day valuation in history, according to data from DealLogic.
SecondMarket, an exchange on which people can buy and sell stock in private companies, posted data on Friday about Facebook's private-trading history.
It wasn't until 2010 that SecondMarket's Facebook trades racked up significant volume, so Facebook's trades before that tended to be one-off deals at a low per-share price. In April 2010, Facebook fetched an average price of $9.82 per share on a monthly average basis. One year later, the rate jumped to $31.46.
As of April 5, Facebook shares were trading for an average of $42.72 each -- nearly $4 higher than the IPO price.
Who's selling shares: Zuckerberg plans to sell 30.2 million shares in the IPO offering. That will net Zuckerberg about $1.1 billion.
But Zuckerberg won't be hanging on to his cash. Facebook said he will use the "substantial majority" of the windfall to cover the massive tax bill he'll be hit with, thanks to his plan to exercise a large stock-options grant that will increase his ownership stake in the company he founded.
After the offering, Zuckerberg will still hold 503.6 million shares, or about 31% of the company. That stake is worth $19.1 billion at the IPO price.
Venture capital firm Accel Partners, which is the largest shareholder outside of Zuckerberg, is selling 49 million shares in the offering. That's about a quarter of its Facebook holdings.

Facebook underwriters prop up stock as it nears break-even mark

Facebook underwriters prop up stock as it nears break-even mark


Facebook debuts on Nasdaq
\
NEW YORK – The big pop in Facebook Inc. shares never came.
Buyers did not rush into the market to snap up shares of the social networker. And the big Wall Street banks that brought Facebook public scrambled to prevent the stock from collapsing into declines.
The underwriters averted a potential debacle by scooping up shares of the company during the Nasdaq debut. This propped up the stock, keeping it above the $38 offering price through most of the day.
“When a deal gets priced and breaks price on the first day, that’s definitely a major embarrassment," said trader Andrew Frankel, co-president of Stuart Frankel & Co. "But it didn’t do that here – at least for the time being.”
The practice is pretty standard during IPOs, especially high-profile ones like Facebook. The big banks buy into a wave of selling as a way to prevent their customers from suffering big losses.
The syndicate of underwriters led by Morgan Stanley helped prop up shares after the Nasdaq Stock Market experienced technical problems processing trades. A number of brokerages reportedly said they were having problems trying to trade the stock.
“There are currently industrywide delays in reporting trade executions,” Michael Cianfrocca, a spokesman for brokerage Charles Scwhab, told Bloomberg News.  “These issues do not appear to be unique to Schwab.”
The problems could threaten the Nasdaq’s reputation as the premier platform to list big blue-chip technology companies. The exchange won a hard-fought battle against the New York Stock Exchange for a chance to list Facebook.
Spokesmen for the Nasdaq did not return several telephone calls and emails seeking comment.
Many traders, Frankel said, "backed away from trading Facebook because Nasdaq had such system issues.”
The stock bolted at the open to $42.05, but then quickly withered in the first hour of trading. It touched $38 several times, but eked out a small rebound and leveled off at about $40.
Barry Ritholtz, head of Fusion IQ, an investment research firm, added: "It pretty much started straight down to $38, where as normally happens, the underwriters defended it."

FB - Facebook IPO One of The Largest IPO's Ever








You can discuss the Facebook IPO in the forum.



Facebook's IPO one of world's largest

NEW YORK — In one of the largest initial public offerings of stock ever, Facebook said Thursday that it is raising at least $16 billion for itself and its early investors in a transaction that values the world's definitive online social network at $104 billion.
It's a big windfall for a company that began eight years ago with no way to make money.
Facebook priced its IPO at $38 per share on Thursday, at the top of expectations. The company is selling just a portion of its shares as part of the offering. The $38 price means all of its shares will be worth about $104 billion, giving the company a market value higher than Amazon.com and other well-known companies such as Kraft, Disney and McDonald's.
Facebook's stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market sometime Friday morning under the ticker symbol "FB." That's when so-called retail investors can try to buy the stock.
Facebook's offering is the culmination of a year's worth of Internet IPOs that began last May with LinkedIn Corp. Since then, a steady stream of startups focused on the social side of the Web has gone public, with varying degrees of success. It all led up to Facebook, the company that's come to define social networking by getting 900 million people around the world to share everything from photos of their pets to their deepest thoughts.
It has done so while managing to become one of the few profitable Internet companies to go public recently. It had net income of $205 million in the first three months of 2012, on revenue of $1.06 billion. In all of 2011, it earned $1 billion, up from $606 million a year earlier. That's a far cry from 2007, when it posted a net loss of $138 million and revenue of $153 million.
"They could have gone public in 2009 at a much lower price," said Nick Einhorn, research analyst at IPO investment advisory firm Renaissance Capital. "They waited as long as they could to go public, so it makes sense that it's a very large offering."
Facebook Inc. is the third-highest valued company to go public, according to data from Dealogic, a financial data provider. Only two Chinese banks, Agricultural Bank of China in 2010 and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in 2006, have been worth more. At $16 billion, the size of the IPO is the third-largest for a U.S. company. The largest U.S. IPO was Visa, which raised $17.9 billion in 2008. No. 2 was Enel, a power company and No. 4 was General Motors, according to Renaissance Capital.
For the company that was born in a Harvard dormitory and went on to reimagine online communication, the stock sale means more money to build on the features and services it offers users. It means an infusion of funds to hire the best engineers to work at its sprawling Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, or in New York City, where it opened an engineering office last year.
And it means early investors, who took a chance seeding the young social network with start-up funds six, seven and eight years ago, can reap big rewards. Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist who sits on Facebook's board of directors, invested $500,000 in the company back in 2004. He's selling nearly 17 million of his shares in the IPO, which means he'll get some $640 million.
The offering values Facebook, whose 2011 revenue was $3.7 billion, at as much as $104 billion. The sky-high valuation has its skeptics, who worry about signs of a slowdown and Facebook's ability to grow in the mobile space when it was created with desktop computers in mind. Rival Google Inc., whose revenue stood at $38 billion last year, has a market capitalization of $207 billion.
"There seems to be somewhat of a hype around the stock offering," says Gartner analyst Brian Blau.
That, of course, is an understatement.
Facebook's IPO dominated media coverage in the weeks and days leading up to the event. Zuckerberg's hoodie made headlines as did General Motors' decision to stop advertising on the site —and rival Ford's affirmation that its Facebook ads have been effective.
There are a few reasons for the exuberance. First, there's Facebook's sheer size and high profile. The company grew from a college-only social network to an Internet phenomenon embraced by legions of people, from teenagers to grandmothers to pro-democracy activists in the Middle East.
Secondly, it's personal.
"It's probably one of the first times there has been an IPO where everyone sort of has a stake in the outcome," Blau says. While most Facebook users won't see a penny from the offering, they are all intimately familiar with the company, so it resonates as something they understand.
And then there's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who turned 28 on Monday. He has emerged as the latest in a lineage of Silicon Valley prodigies who are alternately hailed for pushing the world in new directions and reviled for overstepping their bounds. He counted the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs among his mentors and he became one of the world's youngest billionaires — at least on paper — well before Facebook went public. A dramatized version of Facebook's founding was the subject of a Hollywood movie that won three Academy Awards last year, propelling Zuckerberg even further into the public spotlight.
Though Zuckerberg is selling about 30 million shares, he will remain Facebook's largest shareholder. Even after the IPO, he will own 503.6 million shares, or 32 percent of Facebook's total shares. At the $38 share price, his stake in the company is worth $19.1 billion. Zuckerberg will control the company with 56 percent of its voting stock as a result of agreements he has with other shareholders who promise to vote his way.
The set-up helps to ensure that he and other executives keep control as the sometimes conflicting demands of Wall Street exert new pressures on the company.
True to form, Zuckerberg and Facebook's engineers are ringing in the IPO on their own terms. The company is holding an overnight "hackathon" Thursday, where engineers stay up writing programming code to come up with new features for the site. On Friday morning, Zuckerberg will ring the Nasdaq opening bell from Facebook's headquarters.
The $38 share price is the price at which the investment banks arranging the offering will sell the stock to their clients. If extra shares reserved to cover additional demand are sold as part of the transaction, Facebook Inc. and its early investors stand to reap as much as $18.4 billion from the offering.

GWBU Stock Could Collapse 30-40%






GWBU has had a great rally.  But let's face it.   This rally is based on nothing other than traders buying the stock.   There is literally nothing backing up the stock asset wise other than traders.  The traders who were buying in near the lows will be the first to exit the stock, and they could already be selling.  From there those buying GWBU stock at these lofty levels will start to sell, unless they decide to average down, either way they will lose.  And of course the insiders who have likely been selling all along will just sell at a more feverish rate.  GWBU will ultimately collapse lower under the immense selling pressure.  We could already be starting to see that.  Volume is declining, price is starting to follow.

GWBU has ZERO assets, ZERO revenues, and nothing to back the current run up in price other than over zealous speculators.  That is the reason this stock, in my view, will collapse.  Penny stocks are all about speculating on the next big stock.  I've covered and alerted many stocks that have moved 1,000's of %, many of which were in much worse shape than GWBU.  However a stock like GWBU should be trading under $.01 not well over $1.00. 

I was the first to find LEXG when the stock was at $.10, it ended up going over $10.  I am all about letting my readers and subscribers know about potential gains.  I am also about letting them know about limiting their losses. GWBU was a great gain from its lows until it hit recent highs.  Now its poised to collapse.

Thursdays Penny Stocks To Watch - TKDN, MPIX, OPMG, MSVS


TKDN this fully reporting stock is sitting at 52 week lows hitting $.0051 today.  The ask has thinned out with few shares showing until $.0085.  I still think this stock will post a sharp rebound over $1 in the short term.

MPIX this stock remains on bottom watch after a dramatic fall over the last few weeks.  The stock is down from over $.06 a share to $.001.  I think a bounce could be coming.

OPMG the stock is really starting to firm up.  Buyers are taking some hits at the ask and the sellers appear to be done.  The stock closed at $.0014 and currently as a 50 day moving average of $.004.  That would be the first point of real resistance if OPMG starts to gain momentum.

MSVS this triple zero stocks is reinvigorated with recent news pointing to possible renewed investor interest in the stock.  Today the stock held in a tight range and some late day buying could be a sign of things to come for this stock.

Will GWBU Crash ?



GWBU continues to power to new highs.  Weakness has not been witnessed yet.  I think the minute this stock starts to weaken those piling into this stock will start running for the exits.  I think GWBU will come crashing down 35-50% or more.  These stocks are great money makers on the way up, but will clean you out on the way down.

MPIX Takes A Tumble




MPIX tumbled on Monday and is trying to stabilize for a possible rebound.

Mindpix Corp. launches new website and announces new Global Music Concert and TV Production Project in Belize

ORLANDO, Fla., May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Mindpix Corp. (Pink: MPIX) launches their new website, www.mindpixcorp.com, and announces the pre-production of a Global Music Concert and TV Production and Broadcast Extravaganza in Belize on December 21st, 2012. Mindpix Corp., in association with eMax Media Group, is in the pre-production of a Global Musical festival for TV Broadcast, at a genuine Mayan temple in the country of Belize, Central America, and scheduled December 20- 21st, 2012.
Armando Almirall , President of Mindpix Corp., stated, "We are honored to be invited to participate as the lead producers of this incredible global music concert, TV Production, Web-cast and Broadcast event."
Armando Almirall, President of Mindpix Corp, and Nick Bougas, President of GreenWise Productions, stated, "Our vision is to provide an entertainment experience that coincides with an upcoming event that has already grabbed the imaginations of tens of millions of people who are waiting with a huge sense of anticipation of something extraordinary happening on this date. We intend to give them a focus for this amazing event and a celebration to match!
Our intention is to stage a high level music festival on a Mayan temple to celebrate the ending of the current Mayan 'long count calendar' - the oldest and most accurate calendar in the world. This event only occurs every 5,126 years and will officially take place on the 21st of December 2012. There has been an enormous amount of interest in this event globally and it has grabbed the attention of the world's media, who have generated a lot of speculation and 'hype' as to its significance.
This December 21st, 2012 date is also significant globally as it marks not only this year's Winter Equinox but also the Precessional Earth Equinox, which many believe is the alignment of planet Earth with the very center of the Milky Way galaxy. Experts say this alignment only occurs once every twenty six thousand years.
This is why we feel it would be a wonderful occasion for a global celebration. A musical celebration - as music is the common, unifying and harmonious expression that all humans share. Our vision is to televise this event internationally and link it in to other, similar, musical events that are occurring on the same day in other countries that are also celebrating the Winter Equinox and the Earth's Precessional Equinox.
The event should be able to act as a platform to raise huge amounts of revenue for charitable causes, as well as benefiting the host country of Belize.
In a similar fashion to the annual New Year's Eve live televised broadcasts that switch from country to country, through the different time zones, we would like to do the same, using the Mayan temple as the 'hub' and center stage for the most famous performers and biggest talent that will provide the top billing entertainment for this spectacular."

MultiCell Technologies Announces Positive Preclinical Results for MCT-465 and MCT-485 in Primary Liver Cancer In Vitro Models

WOONSOCKET, R.I., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- MultiCell Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MCET) is pleased to announce representatives from the Company will present preclinical research findings for MCT-465 and MCT-485 at CIMT 2012 (http://meeting.cimt.eu), Europe's largest meeting dedicated to cancer immunotherapy research and development. CIMT 2012 will be held in May 23-25 in Mainz, Germany. The title of the poster presentation is: "Sharply discordant biological properties of synthetic noncoding dsRNA of different size: Translational opportunities in cancer." The poster presentation in the Enhancing Immunity session of the conference (poster number 078) will be made by Dr. Simona Bot, a consultant to the Company. The Company will present its findings during Poster Session I held on May 23rd, from 3:00-4:30 PM, and Poster Session II held on May 24th from 4:00-5:30 PM. About MCT-465 and MCT-485
MCT-465 and MCT-485 are the first of a family of prospective cancer therapeutics based on the use of our patented TLR3 signaling technology. MCT-465 and MCT 485 are in preclinical development, and are being investigated as prospective treatments for primary liver cancer and triple negative breast cancer.
The immune system is composed of two synergistic elements: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Stimulation of the innate immune system through key receptors, plays a critical role in triggering the adaptive immune response stimulating T and B cells to produce antibodies. In cancer, this integrated defense system does not work well, resulting in suboptimal activation of innate immunity and thus, late or inefficient adaptive immunity. The innate immune system is composed of a family of ten receptor molecules, the Toll-like Receptors (TLR1-TLR10), which act as sentries to identify invaders and signal the alarm to mobilize the body's array of immune defenses.
Within the tumor lesion, there may be infiltrating monocytes, dendritic cells and leukocytes in general, that have the capability to mobilize an adaptive or innate immune response but they are either silent or immune suppressive in the absence of select immune interventions. Such infiltrating non-cancerous immune cells may express TLR3, other TLRs, RIG-I and/or MDA-5. In addition, within tumor lesions, there may be cancerous cells or stromal cells or cancer stem cells which express TLR3, other TLRs, RIG-I and MDA-5 (representing RNA-sensing molecules).
Cancer stem cells are thought to play a role in a tumor's resistance to therapy. While significant progress has been made in developing cancer therapies that result in cytoreduction and thus tumor regression, the control of cancer over a longer interval and especially of metastatic disease, remains a key goal. Cancer stem cells are believed to be responsible for cancer relapse by being less sensitive to conventional therapies.
MultiCell owns exclusive rights to two issued U.S. patents (6,872,389 and 6,129,911), one U.S. patent application (U.S. 2006/0019387A1), and several corresponding issued and pending foreign patents and patent applications related to the isolation and differentiation of liver stem cells. The role of liver stem cells in the carcinogenic process has recently led to a new hypothesis that hepatocellular carcinoma arises by maturation arrest of liver stem cells.
Double stranded RNA provides a therapeutic avenue for cancer treatment through (a) activating intra-tumoral leukocytes, abrogating their immune suppressive activity and/or (b) interacting with cancerous cells and directly inducing apoptosis, or indirectly through mobilization of immune effector mechanisms.
MCT-465 is a high molecular weight synthetic dsRNA (polyA:polyU, of 70bps) with immune enhancing properties. The mechanism of action of MCT-465 is pleiotropic and mediated by RNA sensors - such as TLR3, 7/8, MDA-5 and RIG-I - expressed by antigen presenting cells and select cases, by tumor cells:
Induction of pro-inflammatory, immune enhancing cytokines locally and systemically;
Anti-angiogenic effects through a local exposure to IL-12 / IFNgamma;
In select cases, direct pro-apoptotic anti-tumoral effect.
Prior studies with similar compounds support a strong immune enhancing effect of MCT-465, consisting in generation of Tc immunity against tumors, when administered as a companion to a vaccine. This raises the possibility that MCT-465 is an effective adjunctive therapy to any small molecule targeted therapy (such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors - TKIs) that results in release of endogenous tumor antigen while interfering minimally with the immune competence.
MCT-485 is a low molecular weight synthetic dsRNA (polyA:polyU of 5bps) with direct tumor cytolytic properties. The mechanism of action of MCT-485 is pleiotropic yet distinct from that of MCT-465:
Induction of tumor cell death upon direct exposure, while normal cells are minimally affected.
Production of TNF-alpha by cancer cells resulting in amplified tumor cell death and a localized immune reaction that has the potential to generalize and curb progression of metastatic cancer.
