Just Cant Stop Anavex Life Sciences Corp.(NASDAQ:AVXL)

Published

9 years ago

on

Anavex Life Sciences Corp.(NASDAQ:AVXL) has continued to move steadily higher in recent days despite the avalanche of lawsuits. AVXL is the penny stock that rose out of the bb’s and attained a NASDAQ listing transforming in the process from illiquid at pennies to a volume leader that topped $14 a share and attracted legions of followers.

The party stopped once AVXL up-listed to the NASDAQ; while the Company had just reported positive safety and cognitive efficacy data for ANAVEX 2-73 the market wasn’t buying it yet and shorts attacked with a vengeance breaking off the legs that took AVXL to $14.83 highs.

We have been reporting on AVXL spectacular rise since Anavex moved north off its $0.15 base (pre-split) back in March of this year saying at the time ”AVXL is making an explosive move up on accelerating volume after reversing off $0.15 a share. The stock currently trades at a fraction of the $5 per share it commanded back in 2008.”

Anavex Life Sciences Corp.(NASDAQ:AVXL) is a publicly traded biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of novel drug candidates to treat central nervous system (CNS) diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, pain and various types of cancer. According to earlier reports ”is sitting on drugs in development that could potentially turn the multi-billion dollar Alzheimer’s market upside down.”

According to fool.com ”Americans are spending $226 billion annually to treat the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, and other dementias, rather than the cause of this disease itself. That’s an endlessly frustrating revelation that if left unchecked, could pose a big threat to the healthcare system. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease could cost Americans $1.1 trillion — yes, trillion — by 2050.

So there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, just 4 FDA approved drugs perscribed and sold on the market to treat the symptoms, not the cause.

What makes Anavex such an exciting story is the Company is not focused on treating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s but rather is focused on the root cause which is believed to be protein misfolding. AVXL’s Anavex 2-73 can work as an agonist for the sig-1R receptor that is behind protein misfolding. What is even more exciting is the fact that the same mechanism can work in Parkinson’s and Huntington diseases.

AVXL lead drug candidates, Anavex 2-73 and Anavex PLUS, a combination of Anavex 2-73 and donepezil (Aricept®) are currently being evaluated in a Phase 2a clinical trial for Alzheimer’s disease and continue to be the major catalyst here.

In earlier preclinical studies, Anavex 2-73 showed potential to halt and/or reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, positive preclinical data reveals the potential for Anavex 2-73 as a platform drug to treat additional CNS disorders, including epilepsy.

Anavex began life as Thrifty Printing, a digital to photo print business targeting corner stores that didn’t work out. In 2007 the Company announced it has acquired a portfolio of three patents and one patent application covering drug candidates intended to be further developed through commercialization targeting the areas of neurological diseases and cancer. The patents were assigned by Dr. Alexandre Vamvakides who became Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) of the Company.

The Anavex story really took off when Dr Christopher Missling took over as CEO; he quickly assembled a team of big pharma and biotech experts, doubled the number of Scientific Advisors which is mostly Medical Doctors and raised a company’s record amount of $10M in one funding transaction which means that AVXL is now fully funded going forward.

Last month AVXL said investigators presented positive safety and cognitive efficacy data for ANAVEX 2-73, the Company’s lead investigational oral treatment for Alzheimer’s disease targeting sigma-1 and muscarinic receptors, which are believed to reduce protein misfolding including reduction of beta amyloid, tau protein and inflammation at the international CTAD 2015 conference in Barcelona, Spain.

Upcoming Milestones for AVXL include PART B data updates for 12, 26, 38, 52 week timeframes of the ongoing Phase 2a Alzheimer’s trial for ANAVEX 2-73. Report pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) data for PART A of the Phase 2a trial. Initiate double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 human trial of ANAVEX 2-73 in non-disclosed indication.

In addition to ongoing Phase 2a trial currently in PART B, start larger, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial of ANAVEX 2-73 for Alzheimer’s disease

On February 2 AVXL announced Christopher U. Missling, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer, will present a corporate overview at the 18th Annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference. Dr. Missling’s presentation is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. ET at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Conrad Suite, in New York, NY.

AVXL had $15.2 million in cash as of September 30, 2015, has filed a $100-million shelf financing and entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital to sell an aggregate of $50 million worth of shares. The Company previously reported that it is fully funded through completion of the current Phase 2a clinical trial and that Anavex has sufficient cash for approximately two years. Anavex has approximately 31.1 million shares issued and outstanding. This is one stock that has got everyone’s attention; the Company is sitting on drugs in development that could potentially turn the multi-billion dollar Alzheimer’s market upside down. And its not just Alzheimer’s, Anavex 2-73 could work for Parkinson’s and Huntington diseases as well. The science behind Anavex is compelling the implications of which could be enormous and has not changed or been the subject of the recent massive short attack. We will be updating on AVXL when more details emerge so make sure you are subscribed to Microcapdaily so you know what’s going on with AVXL.

    Please correct your article. There is no “avalanche of lawsuits”. There is a gaggle of goosey ambulance chasers that keep posting meaningless PR’s. There is one lawsuit filed with a laughable lead defendant that bought 122 shares a little over $6 on Dec. 28th. The whole lawsuit thing is bogus

Clean Vision Corp (OTC: CLNV): Overcoming the Plastic Waste Crisis

Published

11 months ago

on

January 18, 2024

By

Clean Vision Corporation (OTC: CLNV) has experienced several interesting developments recently, but it hasn’t noticeably influenced the market with any substantial gains. Nonetheless, we believe it’s worth providing an update on the company given it’s been a few months since our last mention. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore a variety of updates and their significance, with aim of providing insight on what to expect for 2024.

Background:

Clean Vision is led by Dan Bates, and their goal is to tackle the global plastic waste crisis head-on. Their wholly owned subsidiary, Clean Seas, has developed the Plastic Conversion Network (PCN), a groundbreaking technology aimed at diverting millions of tons of waste plastic from landfills, incineration, and oceans. The PCN converts this plastic feedstock into clean fuels and green hydrogen, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint.

For a brief 2 minute overview on the company, feel free to reference the video CLNV’s subsidiary put together on YouTube. Here’s the link.

Clean Seas utilizes proven pyrolysis technology to produce environmentally friendly products, which are sold to multinational petrochemical companies, driving the circular plastic economy. Operational PCN facilities are already in place in Morocco and India, with additional conversion facilities in development across West Virginia, Arizona, and Southeast Asia. Long-term feedstock supply agreements exceeding one million tons of waste plastic annually have been secured at no cost.

Their recently trademarked brand, AquaH®, is produced in their PCN. According to the release, it offers a differentiated green hydrogen product from carbon-neutral sources. Currently, hydrogen is predominantly produced through methods that involve fossil fuels, which of course contributes to global carbon emissions. Furthermore according to Deloitte’s 2023 global green hydrogen outlook, this could be a $1.4T annual market by 2050.

$65 Million Plastic Conversion Facility:

CLNV is making big moves in West Virginia and according to the release on October 24th, 2023, they’ve brought in some serious players—CDI Engineering Solutions and ERM—to help out with their Clean-Seas West Virginia project.

CDI has over 70 years of experience integrating engineering, design, project support, procurement and construction management services to the energy, chemicals and electrical infrastructure markets.

ERM is the world’s largest advisory firm focused solely on sustainability, offering environmental, health, safety, risk and social expertise for more than 50 years with more than 8,500 dedicated professionals operating across 40 countries.

The plan is to kick things off in 2024, turning 100 tons of plastic every day into recycled plastics and clean fuels. It’s a hefty project with a $65 million investment, creating over 200 jobs initially. And they’re not stopping there—they want to scale up to 500 tons of plastic per day over time.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is also on board, throwing over $12 million in state incentives to support the project.

Governor Jim Justice made a reference to Clean Seas in his state of the union address. If you want to catch the mention, go to 34:15 in the video. The three minutes leading up to it are also worth reviewing.

Launches Global Operations:

CLNV made another significant advancement, planning to launch waste plastic conversion facilities in the European Union, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. This will be accomplished through their new subsidiary, Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited (CS-UK), who of course shares the same vision of creating sustainable solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Shaun Wootton, CS-UK will play a crucial role in strategic project development and investment facilitation, leveraging established relationships in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

To fortify effective governance and strategic direction, CS-UK is assembling a distinguished board with internationally recognized figures in banking, sustainability, and energy. This approach aims to have a diverse and experienced board guiding CS-UK in realizing its vision of promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship across diverse regions.

$340 Million Bond Offering:

CLNV even announced they partnered with a global advisory firm, Grant Thornton, to issue up to $340 million in Green Bonds. This is the world’s sixth-largest network of independent accounting and consulting firms, employing 62,000 people in more than 130 countries and had revenues of $6.6 billion in 2021. These bonds will fund the expansion of Clean Vision’s Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) under the “Clean-Seas” initiative worldwide, aimed at combatting plastic pollution on a global scale.

With the Green Bond’s net proceeds, CLNV plans to deploy at least six plastic waste conversion lines globally, with strategic locations in West Virginia, Arizona, Southeast Asia, and expansion in Morocco. The Green Bond is also expected to attract environmentally conscious investors, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.

$15M Government Loan:

Lastly, under the capable management of Huntington Bank, CLNV has recently secured a $15 million government loan. What sets this apart is that the loan is FORGIVABLE.

A forgivable loan is a type of loan where the borrower is not required to repay the borrowed amount under certain conditions. Typically, these conditions are related to the borrower meeting specific criteria, such as using the funds for approved purposes, maintaining certain employment levels, or achieving predetermined goals. If the borrower fulfills these conditions, the loan is forgiven, and they are not obligated to repay the borrowed amount. Forgivable loans are often used as an incentive or support for specific activities, such as job creation, small business development, or other initiatives that contribute to economic growth or community welfare.

Not to mention it won’t result in any dilution for shareholders. This is an unexpected and uncommon accomplishment for an OTC company. Securing a government loan of this size without any dilution is truly impressive.

Conclusion:

CLNV has made impressive strides tackling the global plastic waste crisis, especially given their valuation of merely $22.65 million. The team has swiftly achieved key objectives, including a $65 million plastic conversion facility in West Virginia, global expansion through Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited, a $340 million Green Bond Offering, and a remarkable $15 million forgivable government loan. The vast $1.4 trillion market they’re tapping into offers an interesting opportunity with current indicators looking positive. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to acknowledge that there is still significant work ahead, and the team needs to maintain consistent execution to turn this potential into a reality.

What Happened:

So, MMAT issued a press release on January  11th, 2024, announcing a proposed settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning an investigation related to the Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. and Metamaterial Inc. merger.

According to the release, The company has extended a settlement offer (Proposed SEC Settlement) to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. This proposed settlement aims to address concerns regarding antifraud, reporting, books and records, and internal accounting control provisions of securities laws. It is important to note that the Proposed SEC Settlement is contingent on approval by the SEC Commissioners, and the company cannot predict the approval timeline.

If accepted, the Proposed SEC Settlement would involve the SEC entering a cease-and-desist order and the company paying a civil money penalty of $1 million over a one-year period in four installments. Notably, the company would neither admit nor deny the findings outlined in the Order.

The company’s board of directors and management team view the Proposed SEC Settlement as beneficial for shareholders. If approved, it is expected to remove uncertainty surrounding the investigation, enabling the company to focus on advancing its business objectives.

So What:

If you’ve just read through the announcement and are confused, you’re not alone. It appears that many investors may have mis-read the press release, thinking that the SEC was being punished and MMAT was reaching a settlement agreement, but it appears to be the other way around.

In the event of approval, the company is obligated to pay a civil money penalty of $1 million. This penalty would be paid in four installments over the course of one year, following an agreed-upon payment plan. However, the PR also notes that the company cannot predict with certainty whether or when the Proposed SEC Settlement will even be approved by the SEC Commissioners.

According to another user on X, @AShortSqueeze, MMAT’s initial analysis has potentially revealed the motherload of counterfeit shares.

But if you scroll through the comments, you’ll see other users pointing out that this information is actually old news. This is just one of many widely circulated posts that might have been misunderstood.

Significant Coverage:

Another theory suggests that a notable influencer in the financial space, @MoonMarket_, has set their sights on the company and is conducting additional due diligence. With a substantial following of almost 75K users, the influencer’s involvement could have contributed to a significant fluctuation in today’s trading session. It’s important to recognize that X is packed with plenty of financial influencers, and blindly following their moves can be risky. Many are involved in day trades, momentum trading, or at least contemplating such strategies.

Conclusion:

The buzz around MMAT today seems fuelled by a mix of misrepresented themes and recycled news, creating the illusion of fresh, imminent developments.

As per usual, the magnitude of MMAT’s technology and potential integrations across various verticals continues to create a roar of excitement. On another front, we’re also continuing to see speculation about a short squeeze due to substantial amounts of counterfeit shares.

For now, patience is key and we suggest closely monitoring developments. MMAT especially tends to be quite volatile.

Integrated Cannabis Solutions’ (OTC: IGPK) 633% Surge: Exploring Catalysts, Company Overview, and Growth Potential in 2024

Integrated Cannabis Solutions (OTC: IGPK) has undergone a remarkable uptrend, surging an impressive 633% since December 11th, 2023, with 166% of that surge taking place across yesterday’s trading session and today, January 11th, 2023. Both days have been marked by unprecedented volume – Yahoo Finance reported an almost 30x increase, with 115,867,027 shares traded by close yesterday. We’re already seeing 90,092,317 shares traded this morning and it’s just barely noon. Today we’ll explore the catalysts behind the surge, offer a comprehensive overview of the company, and evaluate IGPK’s potential for sustained growth throughout 2024.

Background:

Let’s get straight to it. IGPK is the result of a recent reverse merger with Integrated Cannabis Solutions and JFH Digital E-Commerce Corp. The first thing you’ll notice is finding the website isn’t a walk in the park, we’re fairly certain there isn’t one yet, at least one that will help in any way related to more investment information. Your best bet for more any information is to check out IGPK’s OTC Market page for details, but even the company description on there is not accurate. We’ve mainly found the following information through filings, IGPK’s Twitter, and other online users.

Keep in mind this breakdown might not be flawless given we’re piecing it together mostly from what folks on X are saying. But we’ll try our absolute best to lay it all out for you.

IGPK appears to have been a shell for little while until JFH stepped in. A user on X, @stockplayer30, broke it down fairly simply, stating that the shell’s slate was wiped clean, cancelling all notes payable and any debt. Whether it’s a promissory note, convertible note, or convertible debenture, the main point is they ditched all debt. JFH has an opportunity to start fresh, and it certainly makes this deal a lot more interesting.

Just a heads up, it’s a Chinese merger. If the idea of a Chinese leadership team makes you a bit wary, you might want to pause here. However if you were in the trading game during the summer of ’23, you probably remember those crazy spikes in some Chinese Nasdaq deals. And get this – no big press releases or SEC filings to explain those sudden jumps either.

Company Description:

Onto what the company actually does. According to @SuperRobotOTC on X, this is a digital e-commerce company based in China, here’s a link to their e-commerce website. This user also put together a great overview of the company on YouTube, if you’d like to watch something informative in video format, click here.

Another user, @igal_n, found a blurb on the company that states, “Junfenghuang (JFH) is a digital asset. It is a token issued by Uplus Future Company with the help of blockchain technology. It has no direct relationship with the original equity”.

The Potential:

What makes this story extremely interesting is the sheer magnitude of how large JFH is, the intrinsic value does not appear to be valued accurately in the market, given it’s only freshly merged into IGPK’s tiny shell company on the OTC.

Their Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is heading north of 50 billion yuan, and post-merger profits from service outlets are looking at a hefty 10 billion yuan – yes, billion with a B.

Steering the ship is a leadership team featuring President Wang Dejun, Treasurer Xie Weiji, and Director Yang Lanfang. With a whopping 750 subsidiaries, 250,000 merchants, and 30 million registered users. We’ve also heard from other sources that the registered users could be nearly double that, coming in at 50 million registered users.

These numbers are substantial for a company with a $7 million market cap. Looking ahead, it won’t be shocking if IGPK sets its sights on moving up to a bigger exchange like NASDAQ. It’s no secret they’re already in the big leagues – or it at least appears so. If that were the case, they’d of course have enhanced credibility, more visibility, and increased access to capital with institutional funding.

The App:

Now, you might be wondering, “Sounds cool, but it’s a Chinese merger with a whole setup on the other side of the planet. Can we trust this info?” @SuperRobotOTC has also gone the extra mile by downloading the app, and gave us the lowdown in video format. On top of the SEC filings, this is an added layer of trust & credibility we can attribute to this new venture. Here’s the link to the video.

Conclusion:

Fortunately it appears IGPK is still for the most part flying under the radar. There’s not even a proper website or accurate update on IGPK’s OTC Market overview to tell us what the company even entails. But here’s the silver lining – that might mean you’re still early. The intrinsic value of IGPK appears strongly disproportionate to its current value in the market.

Our advice? Keep a close eye on IGPK’s journey as it takes on this exciting phase of growth and exploration. It’s likely this story will catch wind quickly and it could be a great time to take advantage. As @SuperRobotOTC eluded to in his video, this could be the OTC’s largest merger, with a potential $70B valuation.
