		<description><![CDATA[Novartis (NVS) presented encouraging data on one of its investigational candidates, Gilenia at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). The drug is meant to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) orally. Novartis conducted two pivotal phase III clinical trials – TRANSFORMS and FREEDOMS. The two-year FREEDOMS study showed that Gilenia (dosage of 0.5 mcg) reduced annual relapse rates (ARR) by 62% in treatment naïve patients compared to placebo. Additionally, ARR came down by 44% for patients undergoing treatment. The TRANSFORMS study, conducted for over a period of one year, was aimed at evaluating Gilenia’s efficacy in two dosage forms (0.5 mg and 1.25 mg ) compared to Biogen Idec’s (BIIB) Avonex (injectable). It was observed that Gilenia (0.5 mg) reduced relapse rates by 52% compared ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Dr. Scott Brown, Education Director Monday, November 23, 2009: Issue #1143 Momentum: Force or speed of movement. Impetus of a process, such as an idea, or course of events… That’s how the dictionary defines the word “momentum.” We’ve all seen what can happen when an index, sector, or stock catches momentum – either to the upside or downside. However, momentum waves don’t move uniformly. They can bounce up and down in an upward trend, gradually making new highs and higher lows, or they can fall into a downward trend.

		<description><![CDATA[by Louis Basenese, Advisory Panelist Editor’s Note: Earlier this summer, Louis Basenese gave Oxford Club members another reason why investing in small caps is so profitable. With the markets pulling back, the opportunities for small-cap stocks are opening up again. We felt it was time for another look at small caps and one of the masters of contrarian investing, David Dreman. Having a contrarian view of the markets can be wildly profitable. In the last two years, I’ve: Gone long the dollar when it was in the tank… Shorted oil near its peak… Shorted the big move to Treasuries on the heels of the credit crisis… And, most recently, shorted gold at $918 an ounce.
