Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 02.22.2005 (3) days ago, when the stock price was 4.4400. Since then PRAN has fallen -4.48% .

Are you still eager to buy? It is O. K., but patience is also a good virtue. The market is thinking to go up but still hesitant. It is better to get the buy permission from the market. Check first what happened at after hours trading and futures. Then, follow the next session very carefully.

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.

Companies given $47m R&D funding

The Federal Government has given $47 million to seven Australian pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Federal Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane says the funding is part of a five-year initiative to encourage high-quality research and development.

" There is a tremendous breadth in the successful projects - from research and development in cancer treatments to HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular and central nervous system problems and age-related neurodegenerative conditions," Mr Macfarlane said.

" They are importantly all projects with the potential to improve our lives, just as much as they will build on company bottom lines and this investment will make sure our home-grown research is commercialised in Australia."
Companies

Starpharma has been offered $5.6 million to develop products to fight cancer, HIV and respiratory diseases.

CBio Queensland has been given $6 million to commercialise its treatments for inflammatory and auto-immune disorders.

Prana Biotechnology in Victoria has been given $10 million for research and development of age-related, neurodegenerative disease.

Peplin in Queensland has been given $5.6 million to build on its treatment for non-melanoma skin cancer.

Pfizer Australia has been given $10 million for work in areas including cardiovascular, oncology, the central nervous system and infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Alphapharm in Queensland has been given $1.9 million to further develop their range of more than 550 generic medicines.

Alchemia in Queensland has also been given $7.8 million to develop carbohydrate-based therapeutics for the global market.

Nachtrag:

Prana Biotechnology begins clinical trial of PBT2

Sydney, Mar 15, 2005 (RWE via COMTEX) -- (RWE Australian Business News) Prana
Biotechnology Ltd has commenced the Phase I clinical trial of PBT2 with the
dosing of its first subject at a facility associated with the Utrecht University
Hospital in the Netherlands.

This is the first of a planned series of studies examining the safety and
pharmacokinetics of PBT2 in normal human volunteers.

PBT2 is the first completely Prana-discovered compound, and is the successor to
PBT1 for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

It is designed to have an improved safety and efficacy profile compared with
PBT1.

The compound has demonstrated significantly greater effectiveness in lowering
plaque in the transgenic mouse model in both pre-clinical in-vitro and in-vivo
testing.

Moreover, it appears to be better than PBT1 at decreasing the toxicity of
plaques through improved peroxide inhibition, and appears to have better
pharmaceutical characteristics, such as improved solubility.

Prana shares traded steady at 50c yesterday.

Die Aktie hat ihr Allzeittief erreicht. Steht auf Buy.

doch Vorsicht, wer eine Bank hat, die mit dem Makler SCHB handelt, der sollte keine Aufträge in USA über Nacht stehen lassen. Siehe auch Wallstreetboard.
Der Makler SCHB ist der einzige der mit riesigen Mengen handelt, nur seltsamerweise hat der nur ein Ziel, die Kurse zu drücken, was ihm gelingt.  Möglich sind solche Manipulationen, weil die Aktien nicht gerade viel Handel hat, nur 10000 Durchschnitt in USA. Wenn da einer VK orders reinstellt zu dumping Kursen, hat das eine entsprechende Wirkung.  
Deshalb wirklich nur tagesgültige Limits einstellen, bei codi, evtl. Commerzbank, die sollen angeblich das Auslandsgesch. für Codi abwickeln, dann Penson, die Amibank und die deutschen Broker die mit Penson zusammenarbeiten.

Ich handle jetzt nur mehr über ECN trading oder tagesgültig. über Penson.

Monday April 11, 8:30 am ET

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Prana Biotechnology Limited (Nasdaq: PRAN, ASX: PBT), announced today that it will not proceed with supporting the initiation of the PLACQUE study evaluating PBT1 (clioquinol) for Alzheimer's disease and has re-evaluated any further work on the PBT1 program.
ADVERTISEMENT
 
As part of the effort to manufacture GMP grade PBT1 clinical trial material, Prana has characterized the various impurities that occur in the synthetic process and found unacceptably high levels of a di-iodo (toxic) form of PBT1. After further investigation, Prana now believes it is possible that the di-iodo impurity that occurs during PBT1 synthesis could be responsible for an increased risk of side-effects and mutagenicity. While Prana has considered methods to reduce the levels of the di-iodo impurity, it has come to the conclusion that attempts to reduce the impurity to safe levels are not likely to be successful in a timely manner and that further development of PBT1 is not warranted.

PBT2 is a backup compound for Alzheimer's disease that is currently in Phase I clinical testing in Utrecht, the Netherlands. PBT2 has a structure that does not contain iodine and is therefore not capable of forming the di- iodo impurity that has been associated with mutagenicity.

After successfully settling the PBT1 patent litigation with P.N. Gerolymatos, S.A., in the third quarter of 2004, and after successfully achieving a Clinical Trials Authorization (CTA) in the U.K. in the fourth quarter of 2004, Prana made the decision to advance PBT1 into the potentially pivotal Phase II/III PLACQUE trial and attempt to accelerate the development timelines of its MPACs.

As a result of these events, Prana is conducting a strategic review of its development programs.

Das wars erstmal mit Prana -55% bei den Amis!

NEW YORK, April 12 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Rodman & Renshaw downgrade Prana Biotech (ticker: PRAN) from "market outperform" to "market perform."

 

Prana Biotechnology shares have plummeted by close to 30% after the company cancelled its development program for PBT1 in Alzheimer's disease.

12 Apr 2005, 13:33 GMT - As part of the effort to manufacture GMP grade PBT1 (clioquinol) for clinical trials, Prana found unacceptably high levels of a di-iodo (toxic) form of PBT1. After further investigation, the company now believes it is possible that the di-iodo impurity that occurs during PBT1 synthesis could be responsible for an increased risk of side-effects and mutagenicity.

While Prana has considered methods to reduce the levels of the di-iodo impurity, the company said it has come to the conclusion that attempts to reduce the impurity to safe levels are not likely to be successful in a timely manner and that further development of PBT1 is not warranted.

The company does have a backup compound for Alzheimer's disease, PBT2, which is currently in phase I clinical testing in Utrecht, the Netherlands. PBT2 has a structure that does not contain iodine and is therefore not capable of forming the di-iodo impurity that has been associated with mutagenicity.

As a result of these events, Prana is conducting a strategic review of its development programs.  

Wieviel haben die eigentlich an Cashreserven? Kommen die noch länger über die Runden, ohne gleich Aktien für die Finanzierung ihre klinischen Tests raus geben zu müssen.

Very hard call to make for Prana. I assume this means that potential income has been delayed by using a fallback product? But how long is the day and does this justify the sell off from 0.52 to 0.18? I would be interested to see if any of the brokers or independent analysts have a view on this.

Die haben von der austr. Regierung Geld bekommen für Ihre Forschungen in Höhe von 10 Mio austr. $.

Die Zittrigen schmeißen weiter die Aktien raus. Es ist schon sehr schlimm der Ausverkauf.

Für die Aktionäre ein bitter Bier, aber besser vor Markteinführung ein Schluß, als nach markteinführung das Problem. Ich gebe es zu, mir wäre es anders lieber.

Zeigt aber doch, dass Prana eine seriöse Firma ist.

Um jedes Risiko auszuschließen, wird die Versuchsphase eingestellt.

Mit diesem Geld können die PBT 2 sehr gut weiter finanzieren. Und möglicherweise weitere produkte, in Angriff nehmen.  

23 Mio in Cash. Das bedeutet 1,37/Aktie und das bei einem Kurs von 1,14.

http://www.pranabio.com/company_profile/pipeline.asp

sehr übersichtlich:

PBT2 Alzheimer

NG 1 Parkinson

NG 2  Alzheimer

Immunotherapy: Alzheimer

New Science :  Neurogenerative Disease

Schaut doch recht gut aus, die weitere Pipeline.

Und mit dem Cash im Bestand von Prana, kann die Aktie bald wieder steigen.

   

Da der Wert undervalued ist,und der Kurs zu starkt meines Erachtens nachgelassen hat,
sollte es in Kürze eine Gegenbewegung geben. entweder jetzt raus und erst wieder rein wenn Gegenbewegung kommt, nur ist man dann meist nicht schnell genug dabei.

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 4/15/2005 at $1.08 per share  
 
Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth.  PRAN has a current Value of $1.92 per share. Therefore, it is undervalued compared to its Price of $1.08 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 profitability 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 1.34, which is very good 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 0.02, which is very 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 0.86, which is fair 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.  
 
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 0.48, which is very poor 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 forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 11.00%, which VectorVest considers to be good. 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, (8.56%).  
 
Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. PRAN has a Sell 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 $2.93 per share. This is $1.85 above 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 $-0.39 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 -2.77. 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 28.56. 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 -36.32 percent. This is below the current average of 3.52% 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 -3.99.  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 5.56%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.31. 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. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.  
 
Open: PRAN opened trading at a price of $1.10 per share on 4/15/2005.
 
High: PRAN traded at a High price of $1.14 per share on 4/15/2005.
 
Low: PRAN traded at a Low price of $1.07 per share on 4/15/2005
 
Close: PRAN closed trading at price $1.08 per share on 4/15/2005. (Close is also called Price in the VectorVest system)
 
Range: Range reflects the difference between the High and Low prices for the day. PRAN traded with a range of $0.07 per share on 4/15/2005.  
 
$Change: PRAN closed down 0.07 from the prior day's closing Price.  
 
%PRC: PRAN's Price changed -6.09% from the prior day's closing price.
 
Volume: PRAN traded 195,700 shares on 4/15/2005.
 
AvgVol: AvgVol is the 50 day moving average of daily volume as computed by VectorVest. PRAN has an AvgVol of 84,600 shares traded per day.
 
%Vol: %Vol reflects the percent change in today's trading volume as compared to the AvgVol. %Vol equals 100 x (Volume/AvgVol). PRAN had a %Vol of 131.32% on 4/15/2005
 
Sales: PRAN has annual sales of $1,000,000
 
Sales Growth: Sales Growth is the Sales Growth Rate in percent over the last 12 months. PRAN has a Sales Growth of 177.00% per year. This is excellent. Sales Growth is updated each week for every stock. It is often useful to compare Sales Growth to Earnings Growth to gain an insight into a company's operations.  
 
Sales Per Share (SPS): PRAN has annual sales of $0.10 per share. SPS can be used as a measure of valuation when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.  
 
Price to Sales Ratio (P/S): PRAN has a P/S of 10.89. This ratio is also used as a measure of valuation. Here, too, it is useful when comparing stocks within an Industry Group.
 
Shares: PRAN has 11,000,000 shares of stock outstanding.
 
Market Capitalization: PRAN has a Market Capitalization of $12,000,000. Market Capitalization is calculated by multiplying price times shares outstanding.
 
Industry Group: PRAN has been assigned to the Drug (Biomedical\Genetic) Industry Group. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.
 
Business Sector: PRAN has been assigned to the Drug Business Sector. VectorVest classifies stocks into over 200 Industry Groups and 40 Business Sectors.
 
The basic strategy of VectorVest is to buy Low risk, High reward stocks. We suggest that Prudent investors buy enough High Relative Value, High Relative Safety stocks to keep the overall RV and RS ratings of their portfolios above 1.00. As you do this, you'll find that your risk will go down and your investment performance will improve.

Today's News
Journal of Neuroscience Paper Further Validates Prana Science MELBOURNE, Australia, April 7 2004/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Prana
Biotechnology Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRAN; ASX: PBT), today announced the publication
of a new paper in the current edition of Journal of Neuroscience. The results
further support Prana's theory that metals in the brain, rather than proteins
on their own, are responsible for the pathology of Alzheimer's Disease and
that attenuating the action of these metals may hold the key to effective
therapeutic intervention.
It is known that zinc reacts with amyloid beta to cause the amyloid
plaques around nerve endings in Alzheimer's disease. The role of zinc in the
formation of damaging amyloid plaques in blood vessels supplying the brain has, up to now, not been clear. Amyloid deposits in arteries cause damage to the blood vessel wall resulting in impaired blood flow. If these deposits occur in arteries that supply blood to the brain then this may starve the brain tissue of oxygen
compounding the dementia associated with Alzheimer's Disease. This Journal of Neuroscience article demonstrates that zinc plays a central role in the formation of amyloid plaques not only at the nerves but
also in the blood vessels of the brains of people with Alzheimer's Disease. Prana's scientific consultants produced a mouse model which lacked a protein from nerve endings that transports and mediates the levels of zinc in
the nerves and surrounding tissue. They observed that not only did the blood
vessel walls in the brains of these mice have lower levels of zinc, but with less zinc there is also significantly fewer myloid deposits. These new results show that the same zinc responsible for toxic amyloid deposits around
nerves is also responsible for causing amyloid deposits in blood vessels. Dr. Ashley Bush, chief scientific consultant to Prana, and senior author on the publication explained; "These findings strongly support the suitability of Prana's MPAC* class of drugs for targeting amyloid deposits in Alzheimer's
disease, both in the blood vessels in the brain and in the brain tissue around the nerve endings. "It is yet another piece of evidence that attenuating the interaction of
metals and amyloid protein could be beneficial in treating Alzheimer's Disease," said Dr Bush.
Prana's MPAC technology is designed to attenuate the interaction of zinc and amyloid protein in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's Disease. To view the abstract on the Journal of Neuroscience website please visit:http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/abstract/24/13/3453

Online banking hits hip pocket nerve

It was supposed to be free, easy and safe.

But online banking is nowadays neither free nor absolutely safe for the eight million Australians who prefer to let their fingers do the walking.

The Australian Federal Police and the banking industry believe online banking fraud is the world's fastest-growing crime.

And with increasingly sophisticated security regimes needed to fight cyber crime, consumers are set to pay more to bank online.

Three of Australia's five biggest banks - the Commonwealth Bank, National Australia Bank (NAB) and Westpac - and a number of smaller financial institutions charge customers internet fees.

Banks say online banking fees are needed to fight cyber criminals.

This week NAB announced it would add an additional layer of security by using mobile phone text message technology for customers completing third party payments.

There are no fee increases related to NAB's initiative.

But last week Commonwealth Bank bumped up its online transaction fees in a $100 million next-generation online services and security overhaul.

All of the bank's 1.9 million internet bank users would be using the new system - and paying the extra fees - by the end of June.

An international money transfer will cost Commonwealth customers $22 per transfer and to import files, such as payroll details, $2.50 per file.

Under new scheme, the first three third-party payment transactions and scheduled bill payments per calendar month will be free, but after that customers will have to pay 50 cents per transaction.

The fees reflect part of the vast complex array of internet banking fees which most consumers now accept as a fact of life.

But it was not supposed to be.

According to the Australian Consumers Association (ACA) spokeswoman Lisa Tait, consumers had been led to believe internet banking was free.

"The strategy was to get people used to online banking when it was free and once they've developed the habit to charge them for it," Ms Tait said.

"It's an extremely cynical ploy on behalf of the banks.

"But consumers don't need to feel they don't have a choice because they can shop around."

Ms Tait rejects the argument that online banking fees are needed to fight online crime.

"We think it's a bit off actually using internet security as a reason why they have to up their fees," she said.

"What about those banks and credit union who don't charge.

"We think it really has to do with returning profits to shareholders - that's the bottom line."

ACA's website flickyourbank.com.au has listings of all fees charges by banks, building societies and credit unions in Australia.

According to the site, of the five biggest banks only the ANZ and St George don't charge internet transactions fees and say they have no plans to change their minds.

While many institutions don't charge, some do - like wounded bulls.

Citibank charges $2.00 and the University Credit Society $1.00 - but most levy a fee of between 20 and 50 cents a transaction.

Many financial institutions have a certain amount of free internet transactions - for a monthly fee.

For other transaction fees kick in after a certain number of transactions.

NAB's personal banking spokesman Andrew McConville said his bank's online fees online fees were "competitive".

He denied the charge that some banks have pushed online fees by stealth.

"I think we've been very up front and transparent with internet banking for a long time," Mr McConville said.

"Our fees are very competitive especially in flat monthly fees.

"Outside those monthly fees we are also very competitive."

But ANZ spokesman Paul Andrews said the bank was not about to change its no-fee position.

"We've always taken the view that internet banking is one of the lower cost channels in terms of what it costs us to deliver," he said.

"We are very keen to put that as part of our package to customers and ... as a way to build business."
