Borrowed from STEM message board on Yahoo.
http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Healthcare/Biotechnology_and_Drugs/threadview?m=tm&bn=23129&am....

Here is a copy of a letter that my senator sent to me today October 17, 2006. Congress is not going to let the stem cell issue drop. Companies like STEM will provide treatment to help millions of sick Americans.

Dear XXXXXXXXXX:

Since you have contacted me in the past in support of federal funding for stem cell research, I wanted to update you on the status of this issue as the 109th Congress draws to a close.

The House of Representatives passed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 810) in May of 2005 by a substantial margin. Despite strong support in the Senate, the Majority leadership did not bring H.R. 810 to a vote in the Senate until July of 2006, at which point 66 Senators voted for
passage of the measure. I am a cosponsor of the Senate version of this bill and was encouraged by the strong vote in favor of the measure.

This bill sought to provide federal funding for stem cell research using only embryos that "would never be implanted in a woman and would otherwise be discarded." Such research has vast potential to improve treatments for dozens of serious illnesses, including multiple sclerosis, juvenile
diabetes, Lou Gehrig's disease, Parkinson's disease, and paralysis.

On July 19th of this year, the President used his power to override a majority of both houses of Congress and vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. It was the first veto of his presidency. Patient advocate groups and research institutions voiced their dismay that the
Administration would withhold funding for such a promising field of biomedical research. Though the House of representatives immediately took up the measure again, the bill fell short of the 290 votes needed to overcome the President's veto.

The potential to improve the lives of individuals who suffer from debilitating illness should not and cannot be ignored. That the President would choose this legislation for his first veto was a troubling message for the patients and families clinging to the hope of medical breakthroughs. I will keep working for the passage of the Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act in the 110th Congress.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Durbin United States Senator

Hello,

Thanks for staying in touch...

Yes, you are quite right, I have been kinda quiet these past few months...

I have been very busy working on a new business opportunity...and since this portfolio has been somewhat staid and mostly treading water, I do not feel the need to monitor it too closely...hence the quietness.

However, with Fall approaching and the markets perking up, I hope to be more active with the portfolio's management during these few remaining months of the year...

Hope all is well with you too...

Cheers!

Hi DollarSign,

If you thought that the stock's fundamentals were good enough for a purchase price of 23.2¢, then you should be salivating at this 20% discount opportunity afforded to you by the market's current shortsightedness...

Though I am very bullish on the company's longterm prospects, I cannot predict with certainty this stock's short term price moves...personally though, waiting for a price of 13¢ may be a bit of an overreach...jmho. Please make your investment moves based on your own personal time horizons...

Hello Dollarsign,

Thank You for the kind wishes...

I realize that I have been a bit tardy with my posts here, especially with my End of the Month reports, due mostly to some personal/family commitments...But since the portfolio has been basically marking time, I have not felt an urgent need to post these reports (compiling them is a bit time consuming)...For instance, during this past month of March, the portfolio's closing value was $40,664.49, down a mere $176.14 (-0.43%) from its February 2006 closing price of $40,840.63. However, in the month of April 2006, the portfolio took a drubbing of more than $2000 due to the recent correction/consolidation(s) in almost all of the portfolio's major components, namely PPHM, MOBL, BSIC, EZEN and CMNN...I will be posting the end of the month update soon...

With regards to MOBL and PPHM, Yes(!), I am still just as BULLISH...



Cheers!

Alzheimer's patients put diabetes pill to the test
New theory suggests diabetes drug could help slow brain decay

Alzheimer's patients put diabetes pill to the test
New theory suggests diabetes drug could help slow brain decay

Updated: 5:35 p.m. ET May 1, 2006
WASHINGTON - A provocative new theory suggests that one root cause of Alzheimer’s disease is linked to diabetes — a theory about to be tested in thousands of Alzheimer’s patients given the diabetes drug Avandia in hopes of slowing brain decay.

It’s a scary scenario: Alzheimer’s already is expected to skyrocket as the population grays, rising from 4.5 million sufferers today to a staggering 14 million by 2050. If the new theory is right, the nation’s current obesity-fueled epidemic of Type 2 diabetes could worsen that toll.

But proponents see potential good news: If diabetic-like changes in the way brain cells use sugar to generate energy truly trigger Alzheimer’s in at least some patients, then maybe doctors could intervene early and slow down that degeneration.


A preliminary experiment involving 511 Alzheimer’s patients found signals that Avandia might help — albeit in people who lack a gene that spurs more aggressive Alzheimer’s.

Those results, combined with other evidence that the diabetes pathway is important, have Avandia maker GlaxoSmithKline poised to open three Phase III clinical trials this summer to test whether the diabetes drug, also called rosiglitazone, might protect certain patients’ brains.

Diabetes has long been listed a risk factor for Alzheimer’s later in life because it damages blood vessels that supply the brain.

The Avandia research suggests a more insidious connection: that Alzheimer’s can be silently triggered when brain cells can’t properly use their main fuel, sugar — just as Type 2 diabetes is triggered when insulin gradually loses its ability to process sugar body-wide.

“When they’re in an insulin-resistant state, it does not just affect the body, it affects the brain as well,” explains Suzanne Craft of the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, who led the initial research.



There are 18 million Type 2 diabetics, considered to have two to five times a non-diabetic’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s — if they live long enough, into the 60s and 70s when Alzheimer’s typically strikes, Craft says. Type 2 diabetes often leads to heart disease or other ailments that kill before then.

Avandia, and the competing drug Actos, treat Type 2 diabetes by resensitizing the body to insulin.

Don’t use Avandia for Alzheimer’s until that question is settled, cautions Glaxo’s Allen Roses, a highly regarded Alzheimer’s researcher who, before joining the pharmaceutical company, discovered the brain disease’s main genetic link.

He published the diabetes hypothesis in the medical journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia last week.

If it pans out, “one thing we can do is, possibly, slow down the onset of the disease showing up,” Roses says. But for now, “it’s a hopeful experiment that’s in progress.”

Yet it’s generating intense interest.

“This is an exciting new approach,” Yadong Huang of the University of California, San Francisco, wrote in an accompanying review of Roses’ hypothesis, which is backed by genetics research from Huang’s own lab.

“I don’t think this is hype for rosiglitazone,” adds Dr. Sam Gandy, director of the Farber Institute for Neurosciences at Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University and an Alzheimer’s Association spokesman. “This does dovetail with some existing knowledge.”


Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain disease that usually begins gradually, causing a person to forget recent events or familiar tasks. How rapidly it advances varies from person to person, but the disease eventually leads to confusion, personality and behavior changes and impaired judgment. Communication becomes more difficult as the disease progresses, leaving those affected struggling to find words, finish thoughts or follow directions. Eventually, most people with Alzheimer's disease become unable to care for themselves.

Cells underuse sugar
No one knows what causes Alzheimer’s creeping brain degeneration. Today’s drugs only temporarily help symptoms. Now, researchers are hunting new ones that target the disease’s hallmark, a sticky gunk called beta-amyloid that clogs up, and probably kills, neurons.

The new theory: The metabolism of neurons’ internal power factors, called mitochondria, go awry so that those cells don’t use enough sugar. That eventually leads to impaired brain cell function, including the buildup of that gunky beta-amyloid. It also means that neurons in youth and middle age don’t sprout enough communication connections, providing less “cognitive reserve” once their neurons start dying off.

Among the evidence Roses cites:

Decades before dementia symptoms begin, PET scans of people who carry an Alzheimer’s-linked gene show their brain cells underuse sugar.
Mice engineered to develop Alzheimer’s-like disease experience the metabolism changes before beta-amyloid plaques appear — and insulin-sensitizing drugs enhance their brains’ sugar use.
Researchers who tracked 140,000 diabetic veterans found those who received insulin-resensitizing drugs were less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s years later.
Then there’s that preliminary Avandia study. Alzheimer’s patients showed modest improvement in cognitive function — unless they carried the Alzheimer’s-linked gene called ApoE4 that spurs more aggressive disease. The new studies will try to prove if that benefit was real.

Final Thoughts:

For the month of February 2006, the CFDTD Fund essentially marked time...
While the S&P 500 eked out with a very tiny gain of 0.05%, my Fund, on the
other hand, declined by 0.54%. Even though this decline in Dollar terms
was extremely modest, but when compared, in percentage terms, to the S&P’s
gain, this drop was anything but small…And in spite of this, I am anything but
worried about the Fund’s chances for the remainder of this year. As a matter of
fact, I am quite bullish about its prospects because I am very optimistic that its top
5 holdings, namely, PPHM, MOBL, CMNN, BSIC and EZEN, which cumulatively
constitute over 76% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value, will all make very Big moves
this year…


Cheers!

Sorry Contax! I am heart broken over my years long due diligence into prrpf. I am moving more into BSIC as time and dips allow. My last batches of buys in BSIC were at $2.18 some time ago. I have tried several times to pick up some of them low end dips, but they have eluded me.

I truely am devastated by the activities of prrpf. Its a traders stock. I simply am not a short end trader. I do believe within my self and my best judgement. If prrpf/psh do become real. It can be bought back.

In regards to PRRPF.

I do feel that the situation has changed for stockholders since the Texas program began some many months ago. Many new shares have surfaced. I recommended not long ago that investors take a piece of profitaking to secure their positions without holding all the risk. It appears that many have completed that task. I myself followed my own advice.

I stated previously that PRRPF is not NYSE, but the Canadian venture exchange.
--------------------------------------------------------
Do you think that their Scanio/Shelton No.6 well in the Mission River property in Texas has the potential to be a "big" or possibly a "Very Big" find? And with their (just) 10% interest in this particular dig, do you feel that we, the shareholders can see a share price in the neighborhood of $1 in the not too distant future?

response: 10% is a starter position for a small company. Add the 10% wells together and eventually the revenues blend to a significant some. The Scanio/Shelton #6 does have the potential in regards to be what the Gunther Warren wells produced long ago. For a $1 share price? Depends on proving reserves and most of all production. Short term $0.35? I think the answer is the same as to the long term basically.

We are in a pot luck toss up presently. Heads or tails! Which way do we get ready to run? The company just posted a new 10,300 interval update. They are going to complete the well, have commercial production reserves supposedly and intend to bring in a service rig to fully bring the well to life. Then we will all see what we have 10% of.

I have not really giving you a direct answer. That I apologize for. I do not want to mis-lead.

Hi TechKim,

I am not sure if you have been made aware of the fact that you are the de facto "Resident" Oil and Gas Industry Expert for this Fund and every time I need Expert opinion, I have to defer to you...



So, my question is regarding PRRPF...Since last month, I have been slowly accumulating this stock and am now sitting on a pretty sizable position which is spread out in 3 separate portfolios...I would like to hear your thoughts about the recent development(s) at this company and in particular, their today's news release...Do you think that their Scanio/Sheldon No.6 well in the Mission River property in Texas has the potential to be a "big" or possibly a "Very Big" find? And with their (just) 10% interest in this particular dig, do you feel that we, the shareholders can see a share price in the neighborhood of $1 in the not too distant future?

BTW, short term, imho, the chart is signalling slightly "over-bought" condition, but, it still easily can make a move to the 33¢-35¢ region on good news...

Thanks!

Hello DollarSign,

Sorry for the tardy response...

Thank you for your kind words of confidence...I must however caution you that past performance is no guarantee of future success...



You said that you have "decided to mimic" my portfolio, but then you mention that you have bought just two out of the 13 stocks currently in my Fund...Not sure if you are doing a good job of mimicking...if you know what I mean...I see that you have decided to invest in my Fund's two biggest holdings, but a more safe and balanced approach would have been to, at the very least, diversify your investment in the Fund's Top 7 positions. That would have been CMNN, BSIC and BLLI, EZEN and WSCE, in addition to MOBL and PPHM...

In any case, the die is cast...Would you mind telling me your buy in price(s)? Also, you said that you had bought "10k shares of PPHM and MOBL." Does that mean that you purchased 10,000 shares each of MOBL and PPHM?

Looks like you made a wise move, at least with respect to MOBL...

Cheers!

P.S. Like your handle...quite clever!

[dollarsign]

Hi Contax,
I have been following your fund's performance for quite sometime and suffice to say that I'm very much impressed. Consequently, I have decided to mimic your portfolio by purchasing 10k shares of PPHM and MOBL; the two companies that you speak so highly.
Keep on keeping on!
Cheers!

BSIC is all domestic oil/gas. So if global trade gets halted in certain parts of the world due to circumstances. The pumps keep producing within the borders.

"Nervous investors have been fearing news of a bird flu pandemic, which has potential to send affected economies grinding to a halt and stymie international trade. The news comes at a time when Wall Street is especially nervous about what it calls "the geopolitical situation," which includes Iran's nuclear program and unrest in oil-rich Nigeria."

I call that investor security!

Monday Morning Musings!

Those who follow my board know that I have always been very bullish on two stocks for the longest time...namely PPHM and MOBL. Both these stocks constitute more than 40% of my Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV).

Recent developments in both these companies has helped reinforce my bullishness.
For those considering an investment in these two companies should use the recent weakness to initiate a position. (Of course, please do your own Due Diligence and do not rely on what I say, at face value).

I am also very bullish on the following stocks: BLLI, BSIC, CMNN, EZEN, PRRPF and WSCE.

Cheers!

Final Thoughts:

The CFDTD Fund’s performance during the month of January 2006 was
quite good. Last month, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 by a
decent margin…16.18% versus 2.55% for the Fund’s benchmark! The
question remains: will it continue to out perform its benchmark for the
remaining eleven months and in the process help me attain my so far
elusive goal of triple digit return in one calendar year? They say the third
time is the charm…This is my third year managing this Fund and I wonder
if I will finally make my number in 2006…As you can see, I just
won’t give up…in spite of the fact that I have had to eat crow every
December 31st…which, to put it mildly, has left a very nasty taste in
my mouth and thus ruined my New Year’s celebration(s) last two years
in a row! However, I am quite hopeful that this year, I will get to reach
nirvana…

Let’s see how the rest of this year unfolds…


Cheers!

BSIC this is huge news out! and the Montana production is screaming at 14,188 BBL's, 7403 MCF reporting 11/30/06
----------------------------------------------------------------

The North Dakota project is a success in the rival formation and they are drilling another well (LM#1). Possible 40 well acre lease.

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/060127/bsic.ob8-k.html

Rival formation is a big surprise! woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

We are even drilling a new well the LM#1

In this regard, Basic, and its partners, are currently moving in a rig to drill in Section 9, T152N-R98W, McKenzie County, North Dakota. This new well, the LM #1, is operated by Missouri Basin Well Service and is planned to a depth of 10,170 feet to vertically test the Rival.
------------------------------------------------------
"we are more than excited about preliminary flow rates from the Rival formation," commented Ray Singleton, President of Basic. "The Rival had great shows during drilling operations and we had high hopes for this interval while waiting for a completion rig. While we are early in the completion process in the Rival and hesitate to estimate initial production levels, we our enthusiastic about these preliminary results. Regarding our future plans, the next few months should be exciting. With a number of efforts both underway and in the planning process we are on track to exceed last year's impact to the Company's production and profitability."
