Moderna Inc said on Monday its experimental COVID-19 vaccine showed promise in a small early-stage trial, with the vaccine producing virus-neutralizing antibodies similar to that found in recovered patients, sending shares soaring 25%.

The company's vaccine is at the forefront of the efforts in developing a treatment for the fast-spreading virus and last week, won the U.S. health agency's "fast track" label to speed up the regulatory review. Moderna expects to start a larger late-stage trial in July.

There are currently no approved treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, caused by the new coronavirus, and experts predict a safe and effective vaccine could take 12-18 months to develop.

Eight patients who were administered Moderna's vaccine were found to have antibody levels similar to those in blood samples of people who have recovered from COVID-19, according to early results from the study conducted by the National Institutes of Health.

All 45 participants in the study were given three different doses of the vaccine and Moderna said it saw dose-dependent increase in immunogenicity, the ability to provoke an immune response in the body.

"We are investing to scale up manufacturing so we can maximize the number of doses we can produce to help protect as many people as we can from SARS-CoV-2," Moderna Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Bancel said.

The company has signed deals with Swiss contract drugmaker Lonza Group AG and the U.S. government to produce massive quantities of its vaccine.

The vaccine, mRNA-1273, was also found to be generally safe and well tolerated in the early-stage study, the drug developer said.

One person in the trial experienced redness around the injection site, which was characterized as a "grade 3" side effect. No serious side effects had been reported, the company said.

Moderna shares have risen 240% in the year through Friday's close.

If AA brought tourists for hotels, at least all hotels should be kind enough to let AA sell hotels rooms in AA website for the hotels industry. This is a symbiotic relationship between AA and hotels industry la.
Apa macam betul kah?

No easy meat for AA to conquer online commerce.
If it was easy, after a few years AA oredy King of e commerce la.

The number of coronavirus cases in Saudi Arabia exceeded 35,000 on Friday as the kingdom struggles to get to grips with rising numbers of new infections.

Officials reported 1,701 new cases , taking the total to 35,432. The kingdom has recorded a daily average of around 1,500 new cases over the past week.

Despite the rising number of cases, the kingdom's death toll has remained relatively low. It increased by 10 on Friday to 229 - Reuters




The myth of hot weather in hot country can kill Covid is proven untrue in Saudi Arabia 35,000 cases of Covid.

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris sees oil at $100 in 18 months... Then year January 2022, Warren Buffett will come out in his investment talk to his die hard investors that he made mistake by selling airlines stocks in April 2020.

OMG.... Warren Buffet jokes of the century...

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris says he would buy airlines, going against fellow billionaire investor Warren Buffett.

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris is also right, otherwise how he can be a billionaire if he is wrong?

Yaaaahhhhooooo

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris sees oil at $100 in 18 months, says he would buy airlines
Published Wed, May 6 2020 2:02 AM EDT

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris says he would buy airlines, going against fellow billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who announced that Berkshire Hathaway sold all its airline stocks at the firm's annual meeting on Saturday.

"With every crisis there is opportunity," Sawiris said. "You can go and buy an airline today for $1 if you are assuming the bulk of the debt."

Sawiris, speaking from Cairo, said he agreed with U.S. President Donald Trump on the administration's controversial drive to reopen America's economy.

U.S. stocks rose Tuesday on expectations that the U.S. economy could start to reopen. Sawiris said this is "one of the few times" that Trump is right. "They might not find the cure, they might not find the vaccine, so how long are we going to be in prison in our homes?"
Oil at $100

Sawiris said the price war between de facto OPEC leader Saudi Arabia and Russia was a "calculated" effort to kill the shale industry in the United States, and that the Saudis got it right on oil in the long term.

In March, OPEC and other major producers aligned with it failed to reach a deal to cut production, just as the coronavirus began to stifle demand for crude. Prices hit 18-year lows before the alliance reached an agreement to cut 9.7 million barrels a day in April, equaling 10% of world production and the biggest output cut in history.

When asked if oil would have hit the same levels if a March OPEC+ deal had been reached, Sawiris explained that prices would have plunged anyway because of the reduction in consumption, "but it would have not fallen to this level."

"I think it was calculated," he said. "I think they knew that this was going to happen and they still wanted to do it because, by killing a competitor, the price will rise beyond 50 or 60 dollars. So I actually believe that 18 months from now oil will hit $100."

Wees, I already kumpul sikit sikit. Cheers.
The point is buy on rumours.
Sell on the news.
