Cel-Sci - Got shares?
Upon
release of an extensive research report, Monday, the shares of biotech
company Cel-Sci (AMEX:
CVM) moved up almost 20 percent. The report by Midas Research,
an independent German Research company, is available for free download
(in English) at www.midasresearch.de.
We have also included the applicable corporate press release, below.
We would strongly suggest that
readers read the detailed report.
Some interesting facts delineated
within its pages:
In June, Cel-Sci will publish further
findings and data by way of a scientific abstract in the proceedings of
the prestigious 40th American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference
regarding its flagship immuno-therapy Multikine.
A focus of the company to commit significant
resources to Phase III trials in the US and Asia in the foreseeable future.
A projected share valuation, backstopped
with a Strong Speculative Buy rating, of $2.78 for the sales of Multikine
within a head and neck cancer-only scenario.
Significantly higher share price potential
when pre-radiation and applications to other cancers are factored in.
Corporate plans to employ an Investment
Bank to provide access to funds and increase institutional ownership
For new investors or those who may need
a refresher, the report has an exhaustive discussion regarding the efficacy
and potential for Cel-Sci's immuno-therapy Multikine as well as its peptide
product Cel-1000.
As recently as February 13th, SmallCap
observed that CVM shares were stuck in a trading range of between $1.05
and $1.40. We advised that while trading the shares was encouraged, a core
position should be held for news and developments. We sincerely hope that
heeded our directive.
We
reiterate our call to strategically trade the shares. We also strongly
suggest that risk-oriented investors continue to accumulate on dips with
a view to at least hold a core position based on developments to come.
While CVM shares broke below $1.00
for a couple of days last week, buyers quickly moved the shares back up
over that threshold and, with the release of the report and the renewed
interest in CVM, the share volume spiked and took the shares to the current
level of $1.25. It has become apparent that accumulation and trading on
dips has been extremely profitable.
That said, while small purchases
may be made at these somewhat exuberant levels, we believe that larger
accumulations should be made on a pullback to the $1.05-$1.10 level.
The points made in the Midas Research
report should give investors events, milestones and potential news to key
on over the coming months.
Investors would also make a mistake
discounting the importance of the inclusion of Cel-Sci's scientific abstract
in the published proceedings of the ASCO conference in New Orleans from
June 5th-8th 2004. This conference is the Holy Grail of cancer research
and will give Cel-Sci extremely wide exposure within the oncology and pharmaceutical
communities.
As long time readers know, SmallCap
has been a strong proponent of accumulating Cel-Sci shares since the shares
traded " by appointment" at 20 cents in 2002. We noted in February that
the company was at a watershed point in its development.
We believe that the quiet period
for the shares that investors experienced over the last few months is over
and, with recent developments as noted above, 2004 could well stack up
as the most exciting year in the last 20 for the company.
