Lighthouse Stock Tip Update – Amarin Script Sales

By Erik Zimerman On March 7, 2013 · 7 Comments · In The Whiskey Room

A few months back, one of my updates suggested CEL and AMRN as short term/medium term investments. In the case of CEL, the market had overreacted to new competition in the Israeli market and investors with our suggested timing were repaid with an approximate 69% return. In Amarin’s case (Amarin Corporation Plc, NASDAQ: AMRN), though the stock continued to rise after our endorsement, and providing a 30% return shorty thereafter, I suggested holding on to this position still further. Since Amarin’s announcement to “Go it Alone” in launching their Marine indication for Vascepa, and continuous FDA delays in reaching a regulatory exclusivity decision (NCE), Amarin has continued to lose value; now well below our suggested entry point. Some decrease, based on the the uncertainty of smaller companies launching new drugs successively and lack of acquisition or marketing partner (did they know something we did not? or was the CEO simply holding for too high a bid?) was quite logical. In fact, merger speculation had largely helped fuel Amarin’s rapid increase in share price.

The issue of recycling electronics is a hot topic. Electronics contain besides well known materials such as silicon and copper, a variety of raw materials used due to specific and unusual characteristics (malleability, conductivity, etc). These include organic (petroleum) based plastics (such as PET), metals, and rare minerals. Nickel, chromium, aluminum, lead, silver and tin are among those widely used metals in electronics; often for components such as resistors, capacitors and transducers. Some of the more exotic metals and minerals commonly needed in the manufacture of electronics are antimony, bismuth, cobalt, fluorite, garnet, magnesium and talc. Perhaps most importantly, a variety of rare earth metals and minerals are used in electronics. Currently, China has a stranglehold on their production with 95% of the total. It has recently began restricting exports of certain raw materials needed for electronics manufacture. It is important to note that China does not have a true monopoly of the reserves of these raw materials, as they are ironically quite abundant, but difficult and expensive to extract. In nations with strict environmental regulations, it is currently not possible to extract them (in relatively pure form) at economically feasible levels. A complete ban on exports from China, would obviously change that fact, as they would have to be produced elsewhere, though [...]
