Totally agree - some are savvy enough to know how to make $$$ on stems during this period of development and advancement in the industry, but now seems to be the time to be playing for a long term gain. I see my stem investments as the stocks I'd like to give to my kids someday, not the ones I want to make money now. I've turned a few lucky profits here and there during run-ups and the like, but for the most part it's about buying on the dips and maybe selling a few shares here and there on the peaks, to cover investment costs and establish a position with so-called "free shares."
There are many sectors where money can be made in a cyclical fashion - take energy stocks for example. Those in the right position these last few weeks have made a killing on oil-based stocks. (look at the last month in the life of ROYL, for example, a nat gas co that has tripled in value in that time - there are sure to be many other examples). Seasonal stocks that have cycles that investors know are better ways to make short term cash in the market than stem cell companies.
And let's face it. At under a penny a share, this stock is a total risk. I've been in CBAI for over 2 years, am sitting on 100,000 shares avgd at a penny/share - not a good position now but one I'm gonna hold and hope for the best. It may be that I end up biting the pillow on it, but if it works out it will end up being a tremendous way to have spent a thousand dollars.
GLTA - news this week seems to be good, and the PPS today may be a reflection of that. the next week will tell the better tale of where the stock will go in the run up to the meeting next month.
