Yes I read that locksflooring... Interesting analysis. Tried to get into SSN this morning at .255 but missed out perhaps by 1cent.
Have a big position in ACTC though. Can't wait till the end of 2010 to see want Santa bought me.
Haven't seen you post for a while. I don't think 2 cents is anything to sneeze about. Wait till it is up in the high twenties again then perhaps I'll sneeze. In the meantime just sitting and waiting. What am I waiting for? FDA go ahead, Caldwells presentation at the conference, private or public money injection.

No new information, but it is nicely written and covers the broader
picture very well.

Embryonic Stem Cells
To Boldly go where no medicine has gone before.
Almost a year has passed since the inauguration of Barrack Obama. To
those who had seen 8 years of an administration that seemed hell bent
on putting the Kibosh on a science with the potential to not just
treat but to cure a variety of afflictions it was a time of hope. Just
three days after being sworn in as Commander and Chief the first
embryonic stem cell trial was approved by the FDA. Geron's permission
to conduct a landmark study for spinal injuries sent feelings of
elation throughout the scientific community as well as those seeking
treatment from Alzheimer's to Zollinger-Elison Syndrome.
We were brought back to reality when the realization set in that this
was just the beginning of the journey.. With 2 wars in progress and a
country in financial distress those who so desperately anticipated
moving forward with this revolutionary technology would once again
find themselves frustrated. It took two months (March 9th) for the
President to lift the ban on federally funding embryonic stem cells .
A sigh of relief was felt the day the 8 year ban was lifted. A feeling
that would be short lived when it became apparent that hands of
researchers were still bound by the Dickey Wicker appropriation bill
rider. The tortoise like pace of a country engulfed in bureaucracy
veered it's ugly head from the shell. Another blow came when the Geron
trial was halted in August.
Those who held an ethnocentric view of the United States were
dumbfounded as the watched the global race to find cures leave them in
the dust. Belgium, China, India,too many to mention. Many smart US
companies sought a presence outside of America. StemCells Inc.
acquired Stem cell sciences plc. A European company that also had a
base in Australia. They for the first time began to work with
embryonic stem cells.A step that this adult stem cell company was
reluctant to do under the Bush administration and Dr. Andrew Von
Eschenburgh at the helm of the FDA. The presence in Europe gives them
an opportunity to conduct trials both in Europe and in the United
States.
Much has transpired throughout the past year. Obama dismissed his
predecessor's Presidents US council on Bioethics and replaced it with
a new Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. The
final NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research became effective on
July 7.
On Dec. 2nd The U.S. government approved the first 13 batches of human
embryonic stem cells . It's apparent we are on the road to a more open
minded approach to stem cell research. Not fast enough for those
hungry for cures. Treading carefully however is the prudent. Gerons
trials could start late 2010 as it continues to do further preclinical
studies. The last thing this science needs is it's first trial to
start off with the formation of cysts that had formed in some of their
preclinical studies.
-------------------------------
However, another company could perhaps potentially be the first ESC
trial to actually commence trials. Advanced Cell Technology is that
company . Chief Science Officer Dr. Robert Lanza is world renowned as
a top authority on stem cell research. The company filed an
Investigational New Drug application for Stargardts Maular Dystrophy.
A brilliant move considering the fact that there is a currently no
treatment for the disease. In an interview with BioWorld shortly after
Geron's trial was initially approved Lanza expressed his concern that
the first trial being successful was important to the science in
general. He also explained the significance of choosing an eye disease
because it is an immune privileged site. He was also quoted saying "
Sometimes ,It's the second mouse that gets the cheese."
.
Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) owns or licenses over 380 patents or
patent applications related to stem cell therapy. Their Myoblast
Program has clearance from the FDA to begin Phase 2 human clinical
trials. They are involved in a joint venture with a leading Korean
biotech.They plan to file an additional IND in the 2nd half of 2010.
In an Era that may go down in US history as the dark ages of science
the company fell into deep financial trouble struggling just to keep
water in the pipettes. Amazingly they persevered fighting tooth and
nail to pull themselves from the precipice. Now nearly a year since
Obama took office they stand to perhaps catapult to the a position of
greatness in the regenerative medicine field.
The company has embryonic stem cell lines pending review with the NIH.
It has also become very obvoius the big pharmaceutical companies have
taken notice of stem cell research. Pfizer recently struck a deal with
Athersys for potentially 105 million. Investing in stem cell science
could prove lucrative. The astonishing part of this story is that
advanced cell technology is currently trading just a smidge above 10
cents. Imagine the possibilities.
A child destined to live with deteriorating eyesight has a chance of
growing up a normal child. A hard working middle-class investor gets
to retire early .
Make no mistake, we stand at the brink of a revolution.
What if the AARDVARK took the wrong turning and ended up in Mexico. Hhahaha Just joking. Yes I agree. Would be nice to get a belated Christmas Gift.
As I have said before I think the FDA gave the go ahead to ACTC last year but the Company has withheld a PR because they are waiting until some other very important developments are finalised, at which time we, IMO, should see a very heafty and positive PR covering a number of exciting things. That should blast the PPS out of the water.
The 19 Dec is not strictly correct. Infact time starts from the time that the submission is STAMPED "received" and dated at FDA. That could be anything up to 1 weeks depending on how the sub.. was sent.
The only one I have on my level 2 is AUTO????? Why ??
I think ACTC heard the decision well before the 30 day. IMO I think it is all go. What ACTC might be waiting for is the filing. perhaps, but I think more importantly NIH approving their funding application. Hopefully that will be determined within the next few weeks. In the meantime ACTC will (IMO) be proceeding to trial.
If ACTC releases all this news together what will happen to the PPS? You won't see it for dust.
I agree. Companies like this can run buck shod over small vunerable startups with their arrogance and total disregard for ethics.
I hope that ACTC gets the results and financial backing that they deserve so they can turn around to these large pharmas with their heads held high and middle finger in the air.
ELLLK Thanks. I realise what it means. The question I was asking is who decides on the code to be used. Are they selected from a list promulgated by HIH or do the applicants make up their own. If the codes are selected from a list that NIH make available then the NIH must have already made the decision that NO EMBRYO DESTROYED would be ellible for funding.
I would strongly suspect that the Chinese statement has been taken from the news releases here and they don't say that the trials have been approved , rather, that ACTC hopes that they will be approved. There is a distinct difference. I very much doubt that the news would be released to an individual journalist 1/2 way around the world in a foreign country before being released in the USA or through the international newswire services.
That being said IMO approval has already been given to ACTC to proceed. As someone else stated on another board. Why else would they seek funding on the 24 December, just over 30 days. The post goes on to say that perhaps ACTC was advised to put in for NIH funding by a senior person who might know that they have a good chance of getting it.
I will translate. Where is the link
1. Why did ACTC submit hESC lines at the last minute? Is it because they were advised to by NIH or someone else at senior level .
2. Was it because they have received the go ahead for trials from FDA
3. "NED" code.... where does this code come from. Was it inserted by NIH just for ACTC?
The submission was added after the 30 days. Hmmm.
Most of the submissions to NIH are from institutions.
I have my own suspicions but will leave it to others to speculate.
NYSE closes at 1pm on 24 December 2009
As you probably know I sold out of my entire position a short while ago. I am one of many standing on the side line waiting to see which way this stock moves before reentering. I like WNBD and the product. I don't get married to a stock though. If the stock displays a positive trend I shall move. In the meantime the funds I shall be investing here are invested in a fluid investment.
Do we have Green Certification.
It would certainly help our cause.
Another Green Co commences distribution early in the new year and their products have certification re 100% green and 100% biodegradable
"announced that all ** products adhere to and comply with the requirements of the two largest, most widely respected and professional third party green initiative Non Governmental Organizations. These two organizations are GREEN SEAL (www.greenseal.org) and ECOLOGO (www.ecologo.org)
ACTC advertising for Scientists. YESTERDAY??

I understand there is an updated MSDS sheet. September 2009.
Been hovering around .10 mark for over a month. I think many people are sitting back holding onto their investments because it could run at any time. I still think we will get the go ahead before the Christmas break.
This is the first time I have been caught with a reverse split and I didn't like it one bit. My initial investment, which was quite substantial, dropped to 1/2 when I sold (post reverse split)Put the proceeds into something else that dropped by 30% . If you could make money by loosing I would be a millionaire today :).
Hopefully my other investments do well although they have dropped too. Looking forward to 3 weeks holiday away from the screen. Thats one way to avoid drinking loads of caffiene and feeling like an old wet boot.
Yes my brokers clearing firm is penson too.
EVFLXZ. I have have that listed with the same number of shares pre split. but no dollar amount. Does anyone know what this is?
I don't understand why investors continue to trade the stock. If everyone freezes their stock then the Company could have a problem selling their own stock.IMO. In some situations it may be better for investors to all work together, after all we are the ones keeping the Company afloat. YOU DO HAVE A VOICE. USE IT.

Whats a .001 here or a .001 there? It's neither here or there. I am not smart at all when it comes to the sharemarket. "Cover" "Short" "MM's". "Level 1" Level2"
I don't know what any of these are. I just buy and hold or /and buy and sell like I have in Winning Brands. I think that is why I have made a lot of money from the share market. Sure, I have carried out thorough DD on Winning Brands but I also use my gut instinct to decide when to buy and when to sell. I know what bid and ask is but when I want to sell or buy shares I don't consider bids and asks I just sell or buy at what ever the last price was. I guess you can go blind considering every little detail and in the end you might miss an opportunity. Well like I said I will continue to follow Winning Brands and jump back in when I consider the timing is right. The product is very good. The wave of public sentiment against using solvent and chemical based cleaners is growing and that bodes well for the future of Companies like Winning Brands. Eventually the tide will turn where the majority of cleaning products will be ECO products. Big Companies will have no choice but to follow the push to greener products or loose market share. Anyway good luck for the future to every one on this board.
Well I just sold the balance of my 5 mil shares this morning. I'm outa here. Might be back later. In the meantime following another stock. Very hot. I think WNBD will do very well within the next 6 months so I have no intention of abandoning the stock altogether. I have followed the board for a little while now and will continue to follow it to gauge future trends before deciding to get back in. So LONG.
I got my new shares on friday morning so could trade then. Also I notice I have an additional 25k but they have a - sign next to them. but still shows the funds associated with the -25K in my EVFN account. Perhaps they are the new shares but I can't trade them yet.
No problems at all with Noble Trading
Noble Trading No Charge
I would guess that most people here bought EVFL at .0001. If you are contemplating selling your new EVFN shares at anything below .06 you will be loosing money. There will be people who will see the huge gain today over friday and think that if they sell they will make a nice gain. "I would call that pretty smart or Delusional"
I had the new synbol on friday but couldn't buy only sell
This is what mine shows. But I sold all my shares on Friday. Now I see them up in big lights again untouched. ???
EVFLXZ 15000000 $0.0001 $0.00 $0.00 0.00% $0.00 Trade Detail Q
EVFN -25000 $0.02787 $0.048 $-503.33 -41.944% $1,200.00 Trade Detail Q
Anyone got any ideas?
tryed to buy shares on open but it was rejected . Don't no why. Not because of funds, some other reason
As someone said on another board. Why don't the shareholders write to as many media companies as possible to get the news out. WORLD WIDE, I doubt many people have heard of STEM CELLS let alone ACTC. If the shareholders want the pps to move they need to help themselves help the pps and the Company. send emails to whoever you think could desimminate the news to OUR best advantage. How about BUFFET, the pharms, world news wires, local shows like oprah (before she leaves or becomes disinterested :) )etc.
\~/
Have they bought the pumps and have they signed the lease for the stations or are the shareholders being pulled along on a string. I thought that they had a LOI on the stations and were anticipating leasing the pumps. The signs at the PROPOSED station mean nothing at this stage if they have not signed the lease. On the positive side. You get double your shares in January even if they cannot be sold for 6 months. If you sell the existing for .03 and wait 6 months to sell the restricted at .03 you have receovered your investment asumming you bought at .0001 and the share rech .03 and stay there for 6 months.All IMHO
I see they have patents in places like New Zealand. Why not there. I would think that the bureaucratic chains holding Companies like ACTC down here in the US wouldn't be the case there. I understand they have some very highly experience and knowledgeable bio scientists in that small country on the other side of the world.
We still don't know if EVFL will come up with the goods. They have LOI in place, Leases that I don't think they have signed and details of building (not theirs) by all accounts equiped and ready to go but reported on this or other boards to be empty. JMHO but it appears that their have been alot of news releases about these things but just consider this. I do not think that they have anything that is 100% theirs yet and maybe all of this is a long string without an end. This is the first time I have been in a R/s. I sold today because I personally have question marks hanging over the Company. The pps has been rolling along on grandiose dreams. They could come to fruition or they may not. I have decided IMO they they will not so I have moved on. I have more of a chance that my other stocks will do substantially better over the next 6 months than this and I for one do not want to see my hard earned investment money get constantly pounded by slight of hand, so to speak.

I think the US stockmarkets close at your 1pm is that right?
You only loose it when you sell it. Why not hold. If you sell now you get next to nothing.
