Daily Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Investors have spent the past couple of months hunting for clues of just how much the economy has recovered. Thursday's gross domestic product reading gave them the surest sign yet that the economy is on the upswing.

The Commerce Department said the economy grew at an annual pace of 3.5 percent in the third quarter, faster than the 3.3 percent increase predicted by economists polled by Thomson Reuters.

The growth was the best in two years and stops four consecutive quarters of declines that had pushed the economy into its worst recession since the Great Depression.

Growth was bolstered by government stimulus programs, including the popular Cash for Clunkers auto program and tax credits for first-time home buyers.

In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 66.27, or 0.7 percent, to 9,828.96. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 8.99, or 0.9 percent, to 1,051.62, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 20.20, or 1 percent, to 2,079.81.

Mantra announced that it has achieved enhanced cathode stability through the use of a new proprietary technique. Management will review the patentability of this technical breakthrough in the weeks that follow.

John Russell, Vice President of Technology Evaluation at Mantra, explained: "We are happy with the latest advancements made on the ERC technology and Mantra will be looking at the patentability of this latest discovery to further secure its competitive advantage. Thanks to persistent research, ERC is moving steadily from concept to reality as a complete technology." He then added: "This is the essential evolution of a commercial product; it is built on a series of small successes culminating in a practical, economic technology that is of interest to industry and government."

Mr. Larry Kristof, Mantra's President and Chief Executive Officer, had this to say: "ERC has an important contribution to make in the realm of carbon recycling and it is exciting to see it becoming a reality. It is more and more competitive with CCS (carbon capture and sequestration). The last five months have seen the rate of technological improvements move ahead of schedule and, as a result, we are getting the exposure in the media that we had sought. ERC is now getting consistent recognition from major international industry players and institutional investment firms alike."
