Blowin’ In the Wind: Pros and Cons of Wind Energy

(Note: companies that could be impacted by the content of this article are listed at the base of the story (desktop version). This article uses third-party references to provide a bullish, bearish and balanced point of view; sources listed in the “Balanced” section)
In 2019, it is predicted wind power will surpass hydropower as the U.S. grid’s largest source of renewable electricity, according to the Energy Information Administration. In 2017, wind accounted for some 6.33% of all electric generation in the U.S., but with a forecast that wind could eventually generate 20% of all electricity, it would appear the market has significant upside potential. Partly driven by the expiration of the production tax credit in 2020, the industry has seen significant capacity additions recently. In 2019, it is projected that installed capacity will increase to 107 gigawatts, up from 96 gigawatts at the end of 2018, with an additional seven gigawatts coming in 2020. From 2018 to 2021, wind power will have played a significant role in total capacity additions, accounting for 20% of the additions.

An Alphabet Soup of Financial Designations

Last Saturday, a record 250,000 people around
the world sat to take one of the grueling 6-hour-long exams offered in the CFA®
program, which is 11% more than last year. With a 10-year average pass rate of
44%, these exams are widely considered to be among the toughest in the
industry. Worst of all, you need to pass three levels of exams before you’re
eligible to hold the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA). The exams are offered
only once (or twice for the first level) a year, so it can take the better half
of a decade to get through all of them. But the CFA® designation is only one of
the growing number of professional designations in the financial industry. The
proliferation of professional designations has sparked a debate on the value
that these programs bring to the industry. In some ways, the number and variety
of designations have had a dilutive effect on the perception of their value.
Many of the CFA® candidates last Saturday, who were sitting in their testing
center staring down the barrel of a 120-question exam on a perfectly sunny
summer weekend day, must have been wondering, “Is this really worth it?”

CAR-T Medicines for The Treatment of Cancer, Part 2

(click here
for part one)

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) is a gene therapy designed to harness the potency of antibodies and T-lymphocytes into one single medicine for the treatment of cancer. CAR-T therapy could be viewed as a “living anti-cancer drug” as the medicine itself consists of a living cell, which is genetically engineered as a pharmaceutical “chimera” to find and destroy cancer cells. The term chimera describes a monstrous being from Greek mythology composed from different animal parts. It appears in literature as a creature with two heads: a lion’s and a goat’s (see Figure 1 below). Like the creature from Greek mythology, a CAR-T medicine also has two heads: antibody binding domain and T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling domain.

Figure 1: According to Greek mythology, a Chimera was a hybrid with
parts from different animals. It consisted of a lion with a goat’s head and a
tail ending in snakes’ heads. In the Homer’s Iliad, a chimera is described as a
“fearsome beast snorting out the breath of terrible flame of bright fire”.

In
science, the term chimera is often used to describe hybrids from different
species, such as a virus with DNA sequences from different species, or a CAR-T
drug construct consisting of an antibody fused to a T lymphocyte, combining the
medical potency of an anti-cancer antibody with the cancer killing properties
of a T lymphocyte. (read Part 1 of the CAR-T

The stock slides. TXMD shares are down 15% since the company held its analyst day on June 10, 2019.

We estimate that revenues will show an accelerated growth in subsequent years, up 180% in 2020, up 346% in 2021 and up 108% in 2022.

News – What will the Persian Gulf attack mean for oil prices?

Posted on June 17, 2019May 4, 2022 by Admin

Tanker Attacked in the Persian Gulf; Here’s why this time is different.

Oil
prices jumped as much as 4% on June 13th following attacks on two Japanese
tankers near the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. The attacks occurred shortly after Shinzo Abe, the Japanese Prime Minister, had met with Iranian officials. While the source of the attack was not known, the timing and objects of the attacks seems to point toward Iran or Iranian rebels in Yemen as the likely source. The incident is one in a long history of sabotage activity in the area and threats to shut down the shipping channel. Previous incidents eventually faded into memory with oil prices returning to pre-existing levels. This time may be different.
