Spideboy,

As always, you provide good insight. I apologize for not responding sooner as I'm sure it kept you up at night....haha, jk.
My day job has been very busy lately and haven't had a chance to response or look at any specifics in regards to BCLI company position and possible deals, etc.

Without researching beyond your post, what I do know about China is they're one of the leading countries in stem cell research (which you probably already know). I think Israel is in the top 10 so that's good and US is slowly coming around. On a side note, I think South Korea is the top stem cell research country.. I'll have to do research on that. With that said, a potential partnership will benefit BCLI however, with the recent hire of Dr. Kern, I'd like to see BCLI operate without partnerships who may want to chip away about potential profits. I think Dr. Kern's background will benefit BCLI on a global scale as he is familiar with global distribution solutions which they can provide patient care. Like you said, foreign policies can be an obstacle but I believe BCLI will work with countries who favor stem cell research/treatment first and others later. For instance, the potential to treat Canadian citizens since their regs aren't as strict as FDA. I think by BCLI focusing on those countries who like stem cell treatment, this will allow them to gain a strategic advantage over competition especially since their trying to treat ALS.

As for raising additional cash, I agree with you in there needs to be another way to do it. I think management has done a good job so far with raising capital without hurting shareholders. the only issue I had with them was the RS, I was down over 40% but held through so they could up list to NASDAQ (as I mentioned before). Recently, I was up over 60% (just under $7,000) total so, I sold all my shares to lock in those gains and at the moment, I'm buying again. I believe in this company and what they're doing. I removed my emotions to make the money that I did and now, I'm taking a smaller stake.

Overall, I like the companies potential. I've mentioned this before and as long as they don't get loans or other companies involved to help fund Phase 3 or other areas, i think that's ideal. they can do what they want with raising capital through stock offerings because in the short term, the stock may take a hit but long term investors will see the potential and hold.
