Biotech /Pharma Stock Trading Alert: Antares (NYSE Amex: AIS) Moves Up 30% From December 15th Lows

December 15th; “Antares Sell-Off is a Holiday Gift”- Josh Levine  


Point Roberts, WA- December 30 , 2011- Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research including biotech and pharma stocks, issues a trading alert and updated commentary from Josh Levine of the Levine MicroCap Newsletter, for Antares Pharma, Inc. (NYSE Amex: AIS).

The stock is trading at $2.20, up strongly from its sell off and low of $1.51 on December 15th, following news from partner BioSante Pharmaceuticals.

Following up his comments about AIS on December 15, Josh Levine said today: “Antares has surged 30% in two weeks and is again trading above its 200-day moving average. The market quickly and correctly recognized that the LibiGel event does nothing to tarnish the company’s outlook, which has never been stronger.”



December 15th- “Antares Sell-Off is a Holiday Gift”- Josh Levine -

“After the market close yesterday, Antares Pharma (AIS) partner Biosante reported results from two Phase III efficacy trials for Libigel, which is used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder in post-menopausal women. Here’s the bottom line: While Libigel was extremely effective and reinforced previous studies, the placebo group fared nearly as well. The failure appears to have been due to a surprisingly high placebo effect. The impact on Biosante is devastating, but it’s only a minor bump in the road for Antares. Today’s 30%-plus drop in AIS shares is an overreaction and the stock will rebound fully in time.”

He also noted, “Libigel, if successful, would have only begun contributing revenues to Antares in 2015.”
