Uranium Energy is a U.S.-based exploration and development company focused on uranium production in the U.S. The company’s operations are managed by professionals who have earned a reputable profile through many decades of hands-on experience in the key facets of uranium exploration, development, and mining.

The company is the newest uranium producer in North America, operating the first new uranium mine in the U.S. in over 6 years. In 2011, Uranium Energy completed its first full year of production with a cumulative total of 236,000 lbs. of uranium produced at average cost of $16 per pound, which the company then sold at the current spot price of $52 per pound.

Today before the opening bell, Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. reported a 36% increase in its Blended Project Funnel, a new assessment that includes contracted order backlogs as well as weighted average client opportunities based on their position in the five-stage sales process.

During yesterday’s conference call, Jerry Bowman, president and COO of Beacon, provided an update on the company’s recently implemented, cloud-based Customer Relations Management (CRM) system. The new system enables a higher degree of visibility into the sales and forecasting process, as well as client integration and management. As a result, Beacon stopped calculating what was formally known as “Project Backlog” and implemented a new weighted average process to quantify current and anticipated sales activity named “Blended Project Funnel.”

“With the implementation of our new CRM system, Beacon now has a better tool to manage the client base and sales opportunity process,” stated Jerry Bowman, President and COO of Beacon. “By placing a weighted average onto these projects and opportunities based upon historical results, we have visibility to not only the high-range of what can be sold, but also to a more conservative expectation of results during the near term.”

“On December 12, 2011, we reported the Blended Project Funnel was at $111 million with $37 million in weighted-average project value over the next 12-18 months,” he continued. “Since that time frame, the Blended Project Funnel has increased by 36% to $151 million as of February 10, 2012, with a weighted average of $40 million in project value over the next 12-18 months. As previously noted, this is not a revenue forecast, but rather an indicator of project activity, which could increase or decrease during the year. We anticipate that reporting of Blended Project Funnel data will, over time, be replaced by revenue forecasts for specific periods.”

Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc (AMEX:HEB) continues to surge today and has gained 49.4% from my alert yesterday at $.33. HEB has traded as high as $.494 during today’s trading session and last traded at $.493 for a gain of 20.18% from Friday’s close! HEB shares have traded as high as $.57 over the past 52 weeks, which is 13.5% off that high at last traded stock price.

On January 11, the Food and Drug Administration FDA granted an extension for the Company to modify its New Drug Application NDA in response to a Complete Response Letter CRL received November 25, 2009 for the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome therapeutic indication. The extension will remain open while Hemispherx submits an amended NDA.

On January 17, HEB was granted two new United States Patents for the use of Alferon® LDO (Low Dose Oral Interferon Alfa-n3). Alferon® LDO (Human Leukocyte Derived) is an experimental low-dose, oral liquid formulation of Natural Alpha Interferon, and, like Alferon N Injection®, should not cause antibody formation, which is a known problem with recombinant interferon. Alferon® LDO is an experimental immunotherapeutic believed to work by stimulating an immune cascade response in the cells of the mouth and throat, enabling it to bolster systemic immune response through the entire body by absorption through the oral mucosa.

Oral interferon could be economically feasible for patients and logistically manageable in development programs in third-world countries primarily affected by influenza and other emerging viruses. Oral administration of Alferon® LDO, with its anticipated affordability, low toxicity, expected non-production of antibodies, and broad range of potential bioactivity, could be a breakthrough treatment for prevention for viral diseases including influenza.

Last Thursday, ANMAT (Administracion Nacional de Medicamentos, Alimentos y Tecnologia Medica), the agency responsible for the national regulation of drugs, foods and medical technology in Argentina, approved the sale and distribution of Alferon N Injection® (under the brand name “Naturaferon”) in Argentina. In June 2010, Hemispherx agreed to provide GP Pharm an option to market Alferon N Injection®, its FDA-approved natural interferon, in Argentina and other Latin America countries. In December 2010, GP Pharm exercised this right and in July 2011 GP Pharm submitted an application for approval to ANMAT.

Alferon N Injection® (Interferon alfa-n3 (human leukocyte derived)) is already approved in the US for the treatment of refractory or recurring external condylomata acuminate (genital warts) in patients 18 years of age or older. A major multi-million dollar investment scale-up of Alferon N Injection® manufacturing is underway at Hemispherx’s New Brunswick, NJ facility

Timing gold purchases is quite often very difficult, even for the so-called pros. So if you think you don’t have what it takes to trade among the best, don’t feel bad, even the ‘pros’ get it wrong.

Taking Virginia-based economist and publisher of the Gartman Letter, Dennis Gartman, for example. His track record for forecasting gold prices is so bad that he’s become known as the latest contrary indicator—a ‘professional’ punter, if you will.

Moreover, it’s been suggested that the reason for Gartman’s subscription base is to get fast-track knowledge of Gartman’s trade so that a trader can take the other side.

Just last week, Gartman told Bloomberg News, “we are out of gold” as of Monday (Dec. 12) and “the beginnings of a real bear market, and the death of a bull.”

Sounds dreadful, doesn’t it? So what should gold holders do? Well, let’s see how the advice of the gold market’s Lord Haw-Haw panned out for investors during previous corrective phases—which, by the way, are those very times when buying gold makes more sense in a secular bull market.

“I feared the whole financial system was coming to a halt, and you need a little gold in that case,” Gartman told Bloomberg News on Nov. 3, 2008. “I doubt it will anymore. But it sure felt like it a month ago. There’s no value in gold now.”

Three weeks later, on Nov. 25, Gartman didn’t change his mind; he got more bearish when he should have been a raving bull!

“We are short of gold,” he said in a Bloomberg interview. “We shall always sell rallies such as these that retrace as classically as this market has.”

As the market continued to rally, Gartman became ever more aloof, stating on November 16, 2009 that there was, indeed, “a gold bubble” and anyone thinking otherwise is “naive.”

Apparently, ‘Mr. Gold’ James Sinclair of JSMineset hasn’t been a long-term subscriber to the Gartman Letter. Eight weeks earlier, Sinclair saw gold for what it is: a hedge against currency devaluations.

“The carry trade has dropped the dollar as a currency of choice,” Sinclair told Bloomberg Radio in a Oct. 7, 2009. “Gold is competition to currencies,” and added that he expects gold to reach $1,650 per ounce by the first quarter of 2011. Sinclair was off by five months, as gold soared during the summer of 2011, reaching his $1,650 price target in August.

Back to Gartman:

Somewhere between the dates Nov. 16, 2009 and May 18, 2010, Gartman became to think, maybe, it was he who was naïve about the gold market, jumped back into the “bubble” at some point during the six-month period, then proclaimed to Reuters on May, 18, 2010, “We want out and are heading for the sidelines.”

Now Gartman tells us gold is done. Finished. The Fed is done bailing out banks on both sides of the Atlantic and a deflationary collapse is coming.

Apparently, others, too, have noticed Gartman’s poor record of calling bull market tops. Didn’t Marc Faber make reference to these misguided souls in his interview with Financial Sense Newshour? See BER article, Marc Faber Fears Gold Confiscation.

From zerohedge.com:

“In August 2011, Gartman said that gold was the biggest bubble of our lifetime. Inconsistently, only last week, Gartman said on CNBC that he is ‘long gold’ and has been for ‘six or seven months’,” zerohedge’s ‘Tyler Durden’ wrote.

“Gartman’s short term calls on gold and silver have been wrong more often than not in recent years. He tends to turn bearish after gold has already experienced a correction and is close to bottoming.

“Those wishing to diversify and add gold to their portfolio will use his call as a contrarian signal that we may be getting close to a low in this most recent sell off. Our advice is to ignore gurus, price predictions and noise – up and down – and focus on the real fundamentals driving the gold market.”

The obvious question, therefore, is: Why subscribe to the Gartman Letter while others steeped in the gold market have gotten it right? One doesn’t have to pay for some good advice. Just point your browser to King World News and listen to Eric King’s interviews with the gold market’s real McCoys, or read James Sinclair’s JSMineset.com blog.
