ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  GeoVax Labs, Inc. (OTCQB: GOVX), a biotechnology company developing human vaccines and immunotherapies, announced today that its Chief Scientific Officer, Farshad Guirakhoo, PhD, will deliver a presentation at the China Showcase during the Biotech Showcase 2018 conference.

The China Showcase is an event for companies and investors interested in cross-border investment and strategic partnering opportunities. Dr. Guirakhoo’s presentation will focus on the broad utility and impressive dataset being developed for GeoVax’s MVA-VLP vaccine platform, and he will provide an overview of the Company’s vaccine development programs in the areas of HIV, Zika, Lassa fever, malaria, hepatitis B immunotherapy, and immuno-oncology. Following the presentation, senior management of GeoVax will be available for one-on-one meetings with investment professionals and business development representatives from the life sciences industry.

Robert McNally, PhD, GeoVax’s President CEO, commented, “While our presentation and attendance at the China Showcase is primarily focused on strategic opportunities with Chinese investors and biopharmaceutical companies, this is part of our larger effort during multiple events in San Francisco connected to the J.P. Morgan Annual Healthcare Conference on January 8-11, 2018. We continue to build a strong pipeline of preventive vaccines and immuno-therapeutics addressing multiple unmet medical needs in infectious diseases and cancer.  We look forward to connecting with many potential collaborators, partners and investors to communicate the value of our technology and the rationale for investing in the advancement of our vaccines to human clinical trials.”

Interested parties may schedule meetings with GeoVax through the conference websites for the Biotech Showcase (https://ebdgroup.knect365.com/biotech-showcase/), the Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) Conference (http://www.resiconference.com/), or through the partnering system hosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (http://convention.bio.org/partner/).

MBS Day Ahead: Will Pending Home Sales Data Sing Same Tune as Other Housing Data

January 02, 2018   RSS FEED   No comments

The National Association of Realtors publishes reports for both Pending and Existing Home Sales.  The conventional wisdom is that Pending Sales tend to foreshadow Existing Sales to some extent.  Precedent suggests that does indeed tend to happen more than 50% of the time.  

Case in point, Pending Sales leaped from 106.0 at the end of October to 109.3 at the end of November.  Then, true to the conventional wisdom, Existing Sales experienced a similar leap last week, moving up to a whopping 5.81 million (annual pace) from 5.48 million previously.

The interesting thing is this: as far as relative ranges are concerned, the Existing Home Sales breakout was much bigger than last month’s Pending Homes data suggested.  Based on the trendlines I drew in last week’s housing newsletter, one might even say Existing Sales are pushing the upper boundary of their trend. 

2017-12-27 open

If Pending Sales manage to suggest another similar performance is in the works for January, housing metrics could really be on the verge of a shift.  Such things seem like too much to hope for given the plodding nature of the housing recovery, so we’ll count any chickens that hatch at 10am ET.

As far as bond markets are concerned, we should expect much by way of drama and certainly almost nothing by the way of “significance” at this time of year (hence all the focus on the housing-related econ data).  That doesn’t mean bonds won’t move–simply that the movement isn’t really meaningful at prevailing volumes and liquidity levels.  The day’s biggest chance for volatility surrounds the 1pm auction of 5yr Treasury Notes.
