Should Amyris Investors Fear Intrexon's Farnesene?

July 7, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment

When it comes to farnesene production, that competition may show up sooner than Amyris investors would like. Synthetic biology leader Intrexon recently announced production of farnesene from methane in lab demonstrations. The ultimate goal is to capitalize on the country’s growing stockpiles of cheap natural gas and efficient next-generation industrial processes for separating syngas to develop an alternative carbon source to sugar’s current dominance as a feedstock.

July 3, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment

Consequently, investors should recognize the merits of adding US equity exposures to specifically deal with the type of inflation most likely to affect US risk assets in the near term, “creeping inflation.” Source: Markets

Don’t give yourself too much grief. It’s hardly criminal. It’s just that, well — 13,259 is a prime number. That’s all. Thought you might have remembered how quirky that was. Sure, it’s nice for one of the world’s most commonly quoted measures of corporate success to be above a new “psychological barrier,” a euphemism that, in this context, means: “You can [...]
