Will try INFN (Long) this week. Infinera Corporation (Infinera) provides optical networking equipment, software and services to communications service providers, Internet content providers, cable operators and subsea network operators (collectively, Service Providers) across the globe. As of December 29, 2012, 111 Service Providers have selected Infinera's optical architecture platform to efficiently grow and manage their optical networks. Infinera manufactures commercially-deployed, large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Its first generation PICs transmit and receive 100 gigabits per second of optical transmission capacity and incorporate the functionality of over 60 optical functions into a pair of indium phosphide chips. Its PICs are combined with Optical Transport Network (OTN) switching to enable its Digital Optical Network architecture to offer Service Providers a combination of transmission capacity and the bandwidth management tools to utilize such capacity across platforms that are easy to operate. www.infinera.com Now, BenchMark, behave yourself this week.  |

CTIX long
Cellceutix is a publicly traded company under the symbol “CTIX”. Cellceutix is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies in oncology, dermatology and antibiotic applications. Cellceutix believes it has a world-class portfolio of compounds and is now engaged in advancing its compounds and seeking strategic partnerships. Cellceutix’s anti-cancer drug Kevetrin is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial at Harvard Cancer Centers’ Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In the laboratory Kevetrin has shown to induce activation of p53, often referred to as the “Guardian Angel Gene” due to its crucial role in controlling cell mutations. Cellceutix is planning a Phase 2 clinical trial with its novel compound Brilacidin-OM for the prevention and treatment of Oral Mucositis. Brilacidin-OM, a defensin mimetic compound, has shown in the laboratory to reduce the occurrence of severe ulcerative oral mucositis by more than 94% compared to placebo. Cellceutix’s anti-psoriasis drug Prurisol is presently in a bioequivalence crossover clinical trial in Miami, FL. Prurisol is a small molecule that acts through immune modulation and PRINS reduction. Cellceutix’s key antibiotic, Brilacidin, is in a Phase 2b trial for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections, or ABSSSI. Brilacidin has the potential to be a single-dose therapy or a dosing regimen that is shorter than currently marketed antibiotics for multi-drug resistant bacteria (Superbugs). Cellceutix has formed research collaborations with world-renowned research institutions in the United States and Europe, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the University of Bologna.

Does anyone else here watch the business news channels and see stocks that jump 15% on news all the time? Why can't some of our picks give good news when we pick them?
I am always talking to myself, asking why I did not pick that one......... |
