SVA NVAX BCRX APT

Expect moves in Sinovac (SVA), Novavax (NVAX), Biocryst (BCRX) and Alpha Protech (APT) this week and in early November. I expect most of these moves to be on the upside.

Biocryst Pharma recently received Emergency Use Authorization for Permamivir (it's IV administered antiviral for use in hospitals against H1N1 flu disease). Sinovac accounced additional orders on Tuesday morning. Novavax and Alpha Protech are solid bets, APT has true revenues from products and Novavax is producing vaccines for trials in Mexico, has joint agreements in India and other good prospects.

BEIJING, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Sinovac Biotech Ltd. (NYSE: SVA - News), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, announced today that it has received its third purchase order for its H1N1 vaccine, PANFLU.1, from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for the national stockpiling plan. Under this purchase order, Sinovac is required to produce an additional 5.19 million doses of PANFLU.1 (15ug/0.5ml) for the Chinese central government. Out of today's announced PANFLU.1 order, Sinovac is required to complete delivery of 2.89 million doses to the appointed provincial and municipal governments by the end of this year and supply the remaining 2.3 million doses for the central government stockpiling.
