STEM CELLS: this is where you want to be in the Obama era. TheBush administration always capped investment and research intothis to appease the god squad in a way Obama doesn't have to.One of his top scientific advisors is a chap called JonathanMoreno, he's an ex prof of medical ethics who's a big backer ofstem cell tech. To him it's the new holy grail of medicine thatsees the end of conventional drugs. The more I read on thesubject, the more it feels like the tech sector in 1998. Oncethey start locking patents in, some of these companies could be
moon bound. They're dollar stocks now because the money andbacking aren't there, yet; but it's human nature to do all wecan to preserve life and stem cells is a road that will certainlybe taken once we get over our consciences. The companies involved are mainly private and those quoted are small,for now... it's a real case of p.a. chuck £10 grand in and forget aboutit for two years, or for funds, try and build a 5% stake for no moneynow and again, forget about it, just write the money off, the numbers are small enough that it's doable. I'll have a hunt around but for now, the companies that I can see are: GERN US, OSIR US, CRA US, ASTM US, CYTX US and STEM US; then OFIX US has asubsid, BLACKSTONE MEDICAL, PKI US has a subsid, VIACELL These things could well be the dot.com companies in the late 90's... it'swithout doubt the biggest technological advance since then and Obama's administration is about to unlock the coffers and back them.
These things could be 100 baggers folks...

You’re taking a typically narrow-minded approach there, Rich. If God created all these diseases and disorders it must have been with a reason. It’s not for us to research ways of curing them – that would be to go against His will.
ReplyDeleteOf course research into military weapons is a different matter. Finding new ways of killing or maiming people has never offended the Christian Right.
god bless british cynicism!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Simon, I'd rather more money went into weapons research, we must stay one step ahead of the other guys...of course Drug dealers stand to make a tidy profit if they were ever to get secretly (of course) involved with that kind of research
ReplyDeleteIf I had even a dollar, I might invest in one of those stocks.
ReplyDeleteI will follow up on some of these. I believe you are fishing in the right spot.

Hey what happened to the "Pretty" post?
ReplyDeleteMan, if only our shithole economy had left me with any money to invest...
ReplyDeleteDitto what Mando said!
ReplyDeleteIt's OK Simon, I got your joke. Pardon the responses, everyone here is still hung over from hitting the inaugural balls.
ReplyDeleteIf Stem Cell research hadn't been effectively squashed in 2001, there is a small chance my dad could still be alive. Stem cell therapy has been used moderately successfully for myeloma, but not enough advancement has been done. I'm hoping those floodgates will open.
