muss ja vielleicht auch nicht jedesmal extra dazu gesagt werden, weils eben selbstverständlich ist.
aber diese Spielchen "schreibst du `risikoreich` in meinen Thread, schreib ich es in deinen"
und "ich mach dich fertig, weil ich mehr IDs hab als Du"
sind doch Kindergartenkram.
Das könnte man doch unter Erwachsenen OPTIMALer lösen, oder?  

als ich die Beiträge von Fragezeichen las!
Nur habe ich gar nichts von risikoreich geschrieben, sondern  nur das ich froh bin, nicht beim Down dabei zu sein  und das Geld von GPC und mehr nochmal in Prana investiert habe, und dass ich es gut finde, wenn Forst Falkenau, die Begeisterung für GPC mal bremst!

Das hat ihn so geärgert, dass er nun meinen Wert überall niedermacht!

da konnte ich nicht umhin auch bei GPC darauf aufmerksam  zu machen, dass schließlich alle Biotech Aktien sehr spekulativ sind!

Denn GPC ist mit dem einen Medikament in der Pipeline, nicht sehr stabil, aber doch schon sehr teuer!

Wer sich für biotech interessiert, der sollte auf mehrere biotech-Werte setzen und vor allem auf welche, die noch mehr Kurschancen aufweisen, wie ich das bei Prana Biotech sehe!

Und in der Krebs-Forschung sind eine Unmenge an Firmen tätig, aber Alzheimer ist eine Erkrankung, die nicht wie Krebs zum Tode führt sondern zu einem Pflegefall und einer langsamen aber sicheren VErblödung führt, deshalb finde ich die Forschung in diesem Bereich sehr wichtig, weil es wie Parkinson, eine sehr häufige Alterserkrankung ist!

Meine Großmutter hat unter ihrer Parkinson-Erkrankung sehr gelitten und sie wäre froh gewesen, wenn sie nicht mehr hätte weiterleben müssen! Außer mir hat das niemand gewußt, weil ihre Söhne mit ihr gar nicht mehr kommunzieren konnten, weil sie sehr lange brauchte, bis sie wußte wer der Besucher war! Mein Onkel (ihr Sohn) erzählte, er könne mit ihr nichts mehr anfangen, weil sie nicht wüßte wer er sei!!

Ich hoffe dass Prana, ERfolg mit diesem Medikament hat, und dass es zugelassen wird!!

Es würde vielleicht manche vor einem Pflegeheim bewahren!

 

Welche Rolle Prana spielt, bei der Behandlung von Alzheimer??

(Printer friendly version) New Research Suggests Additional Role for Prana Technology Against Alzheimer's Disease  


MELBOURNE, Australia, May 3, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- The
Journal of Biological Chemistry has published findings by researchers for Prana
Biotechnology Limited (Nasdaq: PRAN; ASX: PBT) suggesting an additional
mechanism for the action of Prana's technology in delaying the progress and
severity of Alzheimer's disease.

Prana's MPACs (metal protein attenuating compounds) have previously been shown
to lower the levels of beta-amyloid in the brain -- the main component of
amyloid plaques that are a feature of Alzheimer's disease. The new research
suggests that that these MPACs may also be effective in preventing beta-amyloid
from attaching itself to and damaging COX-2, the key enzyme that mediates
inflammation in the brain often associated with Alzheimer's disease. Levels of
beta amyloid/COX-2 complexes were found to be elevated significantly in the
brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Professor Ashley Bush of Harvard Medical School and Chief Scientific Consultant
to Prana was the senior author on the paper: "COX-2 has been implicated in
Alzheimer's disease, but studies of COX-2 inhibitors (anti- inflammatory drugs)
have been disappointing. Our current findings explain how the interaction of
beta-amyloid with brain copper corrupts the normal metabolism of COX-2 in
Alzheimer's disease. These findings further validate Prana's MPAC drug approach,
which targets the adverse metal interaction with amyloid. MPACs stop the
beta-amyloid/metal complex from damaging COX-2. These findings also may explain
why anti-inflammatory drugs would not be effective in Alzheimer's disease."

Prana Settles Clioquinol Patent Litigation Conference Call To Be Hosted  


MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug 9, 2004 (PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX) -- Prana
Biotechnology Limited today announced that Prana and Massachusetts General
Hospital have agreed to settle all outstanding litigation with P.N Gerolymatos
S.A. (P.N.G.) regarding the exploitation rights to certain patents relating to
pharmaceutical compositions and uses of clioquinol (also known as PBT-1).
Accordingly, all patent oppositions in Europe and Australia are being withdrawn
and the law suits pending before the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia and the Court of Athens in Greece are being dismissed.

As a result of the settlement, Prana and P.N.G. have agreed to recognize the
rights of each other to develop clioquinol in their respective territories.
Prana will hold the rights to clioquinol in the United States and Japan, while
P.N.G. will hold the rights for European and other territories. Prana has agreed
to allot 1.35 million shares which will be held in escrow for twelve months and
pay a royalty to P.N.G. on sales in the USA and Japan, Prana will receive a
percentage of PNG's income for the other territories.

Mr. Geoffrey Kempler, Executive Chairman of Prana commented, "Prana now holds
issued patents in the US on clioquinol (PBT-1), a drug which has already
demonstrated that it can slow down the progression of the disease in a group of
moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease patients. In December 2003, promising
Phase II clinical trial results evaluating clioquinol in Alzheimer's disease
were published in the Archives of Neurology. This settlement heralds a very
important opportunity for Prana, its an important part of our drug pipeline and
allows Prana to undertake further clinical development of clioquinol."

"Furthermore, the assignment of these patents also complements the position of
our newer drugs, including PBT-2, which is now in the final months of toxicology
testing before entering Phase 1 clinical trials," said Mr. Kempler.

Commenting on the settlement, Mr. Panayotis Gerolymatos, President and Chief
Executive Officer of P.N. Gerolymatos S.A. stated: "We are pleased to put this
litigation behind us. The amicable settlement makes possible the further
development of clioquinol and we look forward to working jointly with Prana in
this regard."

Unlike current approved Alzheimer's therapies that largely treat the symptoms of
the disease, clioquinol, PBT-2 and Prana's other MPAC's (Metal Protein
Attenuating Compound) hold promise to help prevent the progression of the
disease.

The Company will conduct a teleconference to discuss the patent litigation,
Monday, August 9th, at 5:00 PM US Eastern Time or Tuesday, August 10th at 7 AM
Australian Eastern Time. To participate in the call, please dial 1-800-792-0846

VectorVest Stock Analysis of Prana BiotchADR as of 9/1/2004

 
Thank you for requesting an analysis of Prana BiotchADR from VectorVest. The ticker symbol for Prana BiotchADR is PRAN.  PRAN is traded on the NASDAQ - (O)  
 
Analysis Summary
PRAN is overvalued compared to its Price of $3.90 per share, has somewhat below average safety, and is currently rated a Hold.
 
In-Depth Analysis
Business: PRANA BIOTECHNOLOGY LTD -ADR, (PRAN) Seeks to commercialize research into Alzheimer's disease and other major age-related degenerative disorders. The company's mission is to develop diagnostic and therapeutic drugs to treat the central disease pathways that cause degeneration of the brain
 
Price: PRAN closed on 9/1/2004 at $3.90 per share  
 
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth.  PRAN has a current Value of $1.05 per share. Therefore, it is overvalued compared to its Price of $3.90 per share.  Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitably increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.  
 
RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. PRAN has an RV of 0.32, which is very poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.
 
RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. PRAN has an RS rating of 0.85, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.
 
RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. PRAN has a Relative Timing rating of 0.73, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00.  RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.  
 
VST (VST-Vector):  VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. PRAN has a VST rating of 0.69, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. The efficacy of this indicator was demonstrated in a study conducted at the University of Chicago which showed that high VST stocks outperformed the S&P 500 by 583.1% over the six year period from 1996 through 2002.  
 
CI (Comfort Index): CI is an indicator which reflects a stock's ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. PRAN has a CI rating of 1.11, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is quite different from RS in that it is based solely upon a stock's long-term price history. VectorVest advocates the purchase of high CI stocks.  
 
GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. PRAN has a forcasted Earnings Growth Rate of -7.00%, which VectorVest considers to be very poor. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, (8.72%).  
 
Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. PRAN has a Hold recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.  
 
Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position.  PRAN has a Stop of $3.83 per share. This is $0.07 below PRAN's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.
 
EPS (Earnings per Share):  EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share.  PRAN has a forecasted EPS of $-1.22 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.  
 
P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings.  PRAN has a P/E of -3.20. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 27.54. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.  
 
EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. PRAN has an EY of -31.27 percent. This is below the current average of 3.64% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).  
 
GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. PRAN has a GPE rating of -2.19.  High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 5.72%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.33. Therefore, PRAN may be considered to be overvalued.  
 
DIV (Dividend): VectorVest reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. PRAN does not pay a dividend.  
 
DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. PRAN does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.  
 
DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. PRAN does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

 
DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. PRAN does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .  
 
YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. PRAN does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth.

Prana's Open Label Extension Study of PBT-1 Reinforces Positive Phase II Results - PBT-1 Slows Alzheimer's Disease Progression and Well Tolerated by Patients -

MELBOURNE, Australia, Oct 12, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- PranaBiotechnology Limited (Nasdaq: PRAN, ASX: PBT), today announced the results ofthe open label 84-week "Extension Study" of its Phase II clinical trial of PBT-1(clioquinol) study, also known as the CQAD study. The data from the formaltreatment phase of the study was published in the December 2003 issue ofArchives of Neurology.All participants from the original 36-week blinded and placebo-controlledportion of the Phase II trial were offered the opportunity to continue the PBT-1treatment on an open label basis for an additional 48 weeks. 18 (66.7%) out of27 patients elected to start the CQADEX extension study. Nine patients completedthe full 84-week study."The Extension Study data demonstrates that PBT-1 treatment for Alzheimer'sappears to slow the expected disease progression by about half," said JonAlsenas, DVM, chief executive officer of Prana Biotechnology Limited. "The rateof decline in PBT-1 treated patients, compared to the predicted rate of decline,suggests that the drug has a disease-modifying treatment effect, not simply acognition enhancement effect. Moreover, the results show that PBT-1 is welltolerated by patients and has no increased adverse effects over those to beexpected in untreated patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease."Data from the Extension Study data revealed that Alzheimer's patients withADAS-cog scores similar to those in the CQAD and the CQADEX would have beenexpected to decline by an average of 18 points over the treatment period. Theresults showed an average decline of approximately eight points for a differenceof 10 points from that predicted without treatment in the nine patients on PBT-1for 84 weeks. Results from the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) were alsoencouraging, as, when compared to baseline, the patients on 84 weeks of PBT-1demonstrated no statistically significant decline."PBT-1 represents a novel approach to Alzheimer's: namely, a disease-modifier.In other words, PBT-1 targets a key feature of the underlying process thatappears to cause the destruction of nerve cells," said Sam Gandy, MD, PhD,Professor of Neurology and Director of the Farber Institute at Thomas JeffersonUniversity. "Alzheimer's is believed to begin as long as 10 years or more beforeclinical memory loss is manifested. Accordingly, disease-modifying drugs mayneed to be administered for many years. Along this line, it is extremelyencouraging to see evidence that PBT-1 is well-tolerated for extended periods."The full publication on the data from the extension study is available onPrana's website http://www.pranabio.com.Prana is currently evaluating the next potential steps in continued PBT-1clinical development and anticipates being able to announce its plans in thenear future.Company Management is hosting an Analyst Day at The Four Seasons, Salon A&B, inNew York City, on Monday, October 18, 2004.

Prana: Extended Trial Results Positive
10.12.2004, 12:38 PM

Australian drug developer Prana Biotechnology Ltd. said Tuesday that an extended mid-stage trial of its PBT-1 Alzheimer's treatment demonstrated positive results, slowing the expected progression of the disease by about half.

Prana also said the extended Phase II trial showed the drug was well-tolerated by patients over a long period of time, an important factor for Alzheimer's patients who can expect drug regimens to last many years.

Nine patients from the original 27-patient, 36-week study completed an additional 48 weeks on the drug, for a total of 84 weeks on PBT-1.

The PBT-1 drug works by binding to zinc in the bloodstream, preventing the mineral's association with proteins that have been linked to Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain disease that affects about four million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Melbourne, Australia-based Prana concentrates its research on age-related diseases, focusing particularly on Alzheimer's as well as on cataracts and Parkinson's disease.

American depository receipts of Prana rose 16 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $4.75 in midday trading on the Nasdaq. The stock has stayed around $4 after hitting a 52-week high of $10.50 in April.

PRAN PRANA BIOTECHNOLOGY LTD ADR Daily Commentary Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 11.11.2004 (7) days ago, when the stock price was 4.9000. Since then PRAN has fallen -3.06% . Is this finally a good time to buy? Well, it depends. First check what happened at after hours trading and future values. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not. Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, place your buy orders and open new long positions. The market is now on the bull side. But, be careful, also. If you see a gap-down when the market opens, or if the session closes with a bearish sentiment producing a black candlestick characterized by a lower close, do not challenge the market. Ignore the BUY-IF alert. Cancel the buy orders and cover any new long positions that you might have opened. Bears are still in control. [MOTTO OF THE DAY] Buy only if the bulls are in charge Forget about it if the bears surge

BUY-IF 4.7500 -0.0400 -0.84% Candlestick Analysis Today’s Candlestick Patterns: Doji Bullish Doji Star Today a Doji was formed. This shows indecision about the direction of the market and it represents a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. For more about this candlestick click here.
