Finally the obama administration has done something to help the market. The passing of stem cell research should make the stem cell stocks rise viciously this week. Look for STEM to lead

cant buy the news...its already baked into the price

it's always baked in

what happens is that institutions load up in anticipation of something happening and when it does they sell to the little guy who sees it on cnbc that morning

KOAJ is right, man. The big money players will dump shares right on top of the little guy all next week.

The time to get in STEM was this past week-----when the big time money players who had inside info were loading up, and now they'll sell and take money off the table.

STEM can only be traded now------and probably only to the short side as people like Soros, worth trillions, dump, dump, and dump.

This stuff is not one bit different than liar's poker.

I am pretty sure that STEM has floated more shares since last run so the float is larger.

If gambling I would go with ASTM, it has a smaller float and the suckers love it more due to the price..not that it will outperform PPS wise, but percentage wise.

There are players who are bigger and stronger than STEM and ASTM, I think GERN is a bigger player.

No offence but it seems like you guys dont invest or trade stocks much.

Have you checked their income statement?

or balance sheet?

These companies run on hype but in reality they are crap, all of them..even GERN who has 8 times the revenues and 3 times the market cap (safer play).

STEM would probably need 200M in sales to break even, their margins just dont sustain the needs of the company, so wake up and realize that this isnt INVESTING at all, it is gambling and not much else.

If you dont like the comments, then dont read the replies and sorry that we arent cheerleading with you here, Ive seen this dog run 6 times since being in the market and I am not going to fall into the hype trap this trip.

GL with it.
