Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. (OTCBB: CURX)
Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp. was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer closing up over 7% on trading volume of 12,765 shares.
Curaxis is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and multiple cancers. Curaxis’ therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism foCHfeedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer’s patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease as well as many cancers.

Abraxas Petroleum Corporation (Nasdaq: AXAS)
Abraxas Provides Operational Update
“These past two months have been busy operationally and we look forward to announcing well results in the near future, or in the case of the Williston Basin, as soon as service equipment becomes available. In any emerging play with rapidly increasing activity levels, drilling rigs, service equipment and crews become scarce until equipment is relocated and crews trained. For example, the Ravin well took much longer to drill than originally anticipated as we experienced a number of down days as the drilling rig was poorly equipped, poorly maintained and run by an inexperienced crew. That being said, the rig is getting a complete overhaul before moving to our second operated location. We plan on continuing our divestiture program throughout the end of the year and if we are successful, we anticipate an additional $15 - $20 million in net proceeds,” commented Bob Watson, Abraxas’ President and CEO.

Stocks pare losses on modest rise in home sales
Unemployment claims and worries about Europe’s economy keep US stock prices in check
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks started lower Thursday on new signs of trouble in Europe’s economy but trimmed their losses after slightly better news came out on home sales and leading indicators.
Market indexes were mixed in late morning trading after a gauge of future economic activity rose modestly and home sales climbed from 15-year lows in August. Stocks had fallen sharply at the opening after claims for unemployment benefits jumped unexpectedly last week and new signs emerged of a slowdown in Europe.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 15 points in late morning trading after being down as much as 94 shortly after the opening bell. Investors hoping to avoid risk continued to pile into Treasurys, sending interest rates lower.
The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of leading economic indicators increased more than expected in August. The gauge is designed to predict future growth, so a jump in the index means the economy will likely continue to expand in the coming months.

Stocks waver as traders move into Treasurys, gold
Stock rally put on hold as traders opt for Treasurys, gold after Fed’s latest statement
NEW YORK (AP) — Traders put their September stock rally on hold and moved into Treasurys and gold Wednesday, a day after the Federal Reserve said it was ready to take more action to boost the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 23 points in late morning trading.
The Fed didn’t announce specific steps in its announcement Tuesday, but investors interpreted its statement as a signal that the central bank could step up its bond-purchasing program down the line. The Fed said the economy is still recovering but at a sluggish pace.
Investors had little incentive to move more money into stocks, so they turned their focus to bonds and gold. Treasurys rose again, pushing their yields lower, and gold climbed to another record.

Traders avoid big moves as they wait to see if Fed will restart bond buying program
NEW YORK (AP) — Investors held back from making big moves in the stock market Tuesday as they waited to see if the Federal Reserve might take new actions to stimulate the economy.
The uncertainty has put a big September rally on hold before the central bank’s meeting wraps up Tuesday afternoon.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 4.85, or 0.1 percent, to 10.748.77 in morning trading, a day after closing at a four-month high. The Dow has risen 12 of the past 14 days and is up more than 7 percent for the month.

Stocks have rallied throughout the month on signs that the economy continues to grow, even though the expansion remains sluggish. In the latest positive signal, the Commerce Department reported that home construction rose last month to the highest level since April.

Stocks pull back after drop in consumer sentiment
September stock rally halted after surprise drop in consumer sentiment
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks pulled back modestly Friday after a discouraging report on consumer sentiment tempered recent signs of economic growth and upbeat earnings from the technology sector.
The Dow Jones industrial, which had been rallying throughout the month, fell nearly 10 points in morning trading. Broader indexes were mixed.
Stocks started the day with strong gains following upbeat earnings from BlackBerry maker Research in Motion Ltd. and software company Oracle Corp. But the surge was short-lived because traders were disappointed to see that consumer confidence is falling again.
A healthy, confident consumer is vital to a sustained recovery because they spend more. Retail sales is a primary driver of economic activity in the country.

Stocks rise on surprise jump in consumer strength
Stocks rally to end weak August after unexpected climb in consumer confidence
NEW YORK (AP) — A surprise jump in consumer confidence gave stocks a modest lift, but gains were kept in check as investors remain cautious about the strength of the economy.
A report showed confidence climbed more than expected in August. That gave traders a reprieve from a string of reports throughout the month that indicated economic growth continues to slow. A report earlier Tuesday indicated manufacturing activity slowed in the Midwest in August.
“Market pessimism in the very near-term has hit a nadir,” said John Brady, a senior vice president at MF Global. The small rise in confidence took the edge off the downbeat mood, Brady said. However, he cautioned any gains might be short lived because traders are hesitant to make any big moves before Friday’s key monthly employment report. The unemployment rate likely inched higher in August as employers avoid major hiring.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose nearly 30 points in late morning trading after being down as much as 68 earlier in the day. Broader indexes also rose, reversing earlier declines.

Stocks are Lower as Investors Await Job Report
Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com
Stocks edged lower Monday as investors took a cautious approach to trading before the government’s latest report on the jobs market.
Investors have been homing in on employment data as a key way of predicting where the economy is going. Signs of a slowdown in growth has plagued the market for more than a month. Investors are unsure if companies will be able to keep up strong earnings growth if the recovery runs out of steam or falls back into recession. And consumers aren’t likely to spend more until there are clear and regular signs of hiring.
Traders largely shrugged of a new report showing that personal spending inched higher last month.
In morning trading, the Dow fell 21.57, or 0.2 percent, to 10,129.08. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 2.08, or 0.2 percent, to 1,062.51, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 3.52, or 0.2 percent, to 2,150.11.

Wall Street down sharply on economic uncertainty
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks fell sharply on Wednesday after weaker manufacturing data from China and a gloomier growth outlook from the Federal Reserve heightened fears of a lackluster global economic recovery.
All S&P sector indexes were lower, with commodities and energy leading the way down as data in China pointed to lower consumption of raw materials and the International Energy Agency warned of risks to fuel demand if the global economy weakens.
Investors fled from riskier assets to safe-haven investments like the dollar and lower-risk government debt. U.S. 2-year Treasury note yields hit a record low.
Defensive stocks such as utilities and telecom held up better, with losses on the S&P utilities index limited to 1.5 percent. That move and a strong demand in bonds, are forecasting a “major slowdown in the economy,” said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaffer’s Investment Research.

Stocks Inch Higher as Investors Look to Fed
Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com
Stephen Bernard, AP Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose slightly Monday as investors avoided big bets before the Federal Reserve’s meeting this week.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 23 points in late morning trading. Broader indexes also had small gains.
Investors are waiting for the Fed’s latest assessment of the economy that will be issued at the close of the central bank’s meeting on Tuesday. They also want to know if the Fed will restart some of its stimulus programs to help the recovery regain momentum.
The market’s growing concern about the economy has added to the importance of the Fed meeting. Recent economic reports have shown that the recovery is slowing. And Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke just a few weeks ago said the forecast for the recovery remains “unusually uncertain.”
The Fed will likely leave its federal funds rate near zero, but the central bank could signal plans to restart some stimulus programs, such as its purchase of mortgage-backed securities. Those programs ended earlier this year when it appeared the recovery was proceeding well.

Stocks Move Higher Amid Better-than-Expected Jobless Claims Report
Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com
Stocks extended a rally into a third day as investors welcome a report that first-time jobless claims fell more than expected last week.
Mixed reports Thursday from retailers on June sales results have helped boost some individual stocks, but did not widely affect the market.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims fell to their lowest levels since early May. Initial claims fell to a seasonally adjusted 454,000 last week, better than the 465,000 economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast.
The drop in claims, at least temporarily, reverses a trend of disappointing jobs reports that had sent stocks lower in recent weeks. Before a stock surge over the past two days, investors had regularly sold off stocks in recent weeks because of economic reports that showed the economy is growing, but not as fast as had been predicted.
Continued high unemployment has dragged down consumer confidence, which in turn has slowed spending. Consumer spending accounts for the bulk of economic activity. Without a rebound in jobs and sales, the economy is likely to continue to post only modest growth.
Reports from retailers indicated June sales were mixed. Limited Brands Inc., which owns Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, reported sales that topped expectations. Many teen retailers saw a drop in sales last month, including Hot Topic Inc. and The Wet Seal Inc.
In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 77.72, or 0.8 percent, to 10,096.00. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 7.91, or 0.8 percent, to 1,068.18, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 17.25, or 0.8 percent, to 2,176.72.

Stocks Rally Despite a Slowdown in the Service Sector
Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com
U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday, led by financial and technology shares, even though data showed U.S. non-manufacturing activity grew at a slower rate than expected in June.
An industry trade group says the service sector grew more slowly in June, yet another sign growth could weaken in the second half of 2010.
The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing executives, says its index tracking service-oriented companies dipped to 53.8 last month from 55.4 in May.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters expected a reading of 55.0 for June.
A robust service sector, which accounts for about 80 percent of U.S. employment, is crucial to keeping the economy growing and adding jobs.
ISM also says employers’ plans to hire declined in June after growing in May for the first time in 28 months.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 147.36 points, or 1.52 percent, to 9,833.84. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index jumped 16.86 points, or 1.65 percent, to 1,039.44. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 38.40 points, or 1.84 percent, to 2,130.19.

Stocks are Flat After Weak Jobs Report
Submitted by SmallCapVoice.com
The stock market is trading in a narrow range after another disappointing report on the jobs market. A report on manufacturing in the Midwest barely topped expectations but also gave stocks some support.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 4 points, a day after falling 268. The other major indexes were also slightly higher.
Payroll company ADP said private employers added just 13,000 jobs in June. That’s well short of the 60,000 economists polled by Thomson Reuters forecast.
The weaker-than-expected jobs report is the latest in a long string of disappointing economic data that has contributed to the market’s turbulent second-quarter performance. Heading into the final day of June, the Dow is down 9.1 percent for the three-month period. Broader indexes are down 11 percent.
The ADP report is often seen as a precursor to the Labor Department’s big monthly jobs report due out Friday. ADP’s data only includes jobs created by private companies so it can vary widely from the Labor Department data, which also includes government jobs.
Friday’s government report is expected to show employers cut a total of 110,000 jobs in June. However, economists predict the net loss of jobs is tied primarily to the government laying off temporary workers that were hired to work on the 2010 census.

Stocks are Lower on FedEx Warning and Weak Housing Data
Stocks slipped at the open on Wednesday as FedEx warned about higher costs, housing starts fell to a five-month low and new concerns surfaced over Spain’s fiscal problems.
FedEx on Wednesday offered a conservative outlook for its new fiscal year even as strong exports from Asia led to healthy fourth-quarter results.
The forecast for earnings of $4.40 to $5 per share, falls short of analysts’ predictions of $5.05 per share. But it’s the first time the company has issued a full-year forecast since before the recession, indicating growing confidence in the long-term recovery in global trade.
Housing starts fell more than expected in May to a five-month low as a homebuyer tax credit expired while plunging energy costs pushed producer prices lower, buying time for the Federal Reserve to maintain its ultra-low interest rate policy.
New home building dropped 10 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 593,000 units, the lowest level since December, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday.
The percentage decline was the biggest in 14 months and April’s housing starts were revised down to show a 3.9 percent increase from a previously reported 5.8 percent rise.
Analysts polled by Reuters had expected housing starts to fall to 650,000 units. Compared to May last year, starts were up 7.8 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 63.63 points, or 0.61 percent, to 10,341.14. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index lost 7.14 points, or 0.64 percent, to 1,108.09. The Nasdaq Composite Index was off 13.88 points, or 0.60 percent, to 2,292.00.
Yesterday’s Top Performing Small Cap Stock:
Tie Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: TTCS)
TIE Technologies, Inc. was a SmallCapVoice.com top performer yesterday closing up over 44% on trading volume of 3,600 shares.
TIE Technologies, Inc. and Geocomp Corporation announced that the OilDam(TM) technology and the Trademark Application, patent rights and associated assets are owned in equal parts by TIE Technologies and Geocomp, the team leaders of the OilDam(TM) Emergency Containment Proposal.
An application to register the OilDam(TM) mark has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, thus it is considered a “pending” application. The overall process, from the time of initial filing to final registration, can take 13-18 months or even longer, depending on many factors; e.g., the Examiner’s preliminary refusal based on technical clarifications, the descriptiveness of the mark and/or a likelihood of confusion with existing third party marks.
TIE Technologies’ revised OilDam(TM) proposal developed in conjunction with Geocomp Corporation has been escalated to final technical engineering review by BP’s Horizon Alternative Response Technology Team and is scheduled for field testing by the BP and U.S. Coast Guard Field Technical Operations Group.
