OT: I saw the movie Walk the Line, about Johnny Cash. Good movie by the way. In it June Carter gives Johnny Cash Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet.

lol! As long as you are happy thats all that matters! Most of the time!
Thanks Ken for the ecouragement!
I feel rich mentally, lol! Sometimes thats all that matters but unofortuantely not in the equities market!
Average volume: 27 732 now!
With resistane littered everywhere now .20, .25, .30, and a disgruntled former CEO with 10 million shares!
Its been a long and slow drain from the .40 cent level! Not impressed! To reader stay away from Stockhouse TMG bullboard, very little objectivity left there! lol

OT: Bacteria Can Take Pictures of Themselves
By PAUL ELIAS, AP Biotechnology Writer
Wed Nov 23, 3:40 PM ET
SAN FRANCISCO - The notorious E. coli bug made its film debut Wednesday. That's when researchers at the University of California, San Francisco and the University of Texas announced in the journal Nature that they had created photographs of themselves by programming the bacteria — best known for outbreaks of food poisoning — to make pictures in much the same way Kodak film produces images
It's the latest advance in "synthetic biology," a disputed research movement launched largely by engineers and chemists bent on genetically manipulating microscopic bugs into acting like tiny machines, creating new, powerful and inexpensive ways to make drugs, plastics and even alternatives to fossil fuel.
The field seeks to go beyond traditional genetic engineering feats where a single gene is spliced into bacteria and other cells to manufacture drugs. Synthetic biologists are trying to create complex systems that function as logically and reliably as computers.
Mainstream biologists, however, scoff that biology — life itself — is too unpredictable and prone to genetic mutation to understand, let alone tame and turn into miniature factories.
Bioethicists, meanwhile, fret that synthetic biologists are attempting to create new living creatures and are inventing technology that can readily be used by terrorists.
Still, a growing number of engineers are jumping into the nascent field, whose chief goals include breaking down microbes and other living things into smaller components and reassembling those parts into useful machines.
"There is kind of a hacker culture behind all of this," said Chris Voigt, a University of California, San Francisco researcher who, at 29, was the senior author on the bacteria-as-film paper in Nature.
Voigt and colleagues took from algae light-sensitive genes that emit black compounds and spliced them into a batch of E. coli bacteria. The organisms were then spread on a petri dish that resembles a cookie sheet and placed in an incubator. A high-powered projector cast photographic images of the researchers through a hole on top of the incubator, exposing some of the bacteria to light.
The result: Ghostly images like traditional black-and-white photographs of the researchers responsible for the invention, at a resolution Voigt said was about 100 megapixels, or 10 times sharper than high-end printers.
The work, though, isn't intended for commercial markets.
"They aren't going to put Kodak out of business any time soon," said Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Drew Endy, a leading synthetic biologist.
Instead, the creation will be used as a sensor to start and stop more complex genetic engineering experiments. The idea is to create a genetically engineered cell that lays dormant until a laser is shined on it, prompting it into action.
Such an accomplishment would add to the growing success of a field that is making strides around the world, in such projects as:
_Scientists in Israel made the world's smallest computer by engineering DNA to carry out mathematical functions.
_J. Craig Venter, the entrepreneurial scientist who mapped the human genome and launched the Rockville, Md.-based research institute named after himself, is attempting to create novel organisms that can produce alternative fuels.
_With a $42.6 million grant that originated at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Berkeley researchers are engineering the E. coli bug with genes from the wormwood plant and yeast to create a new malaria drug.
Even as they wrestle with scientific hurdles like controlling genetic mutations, thorny ethical issues are cropping up.
It's cheap and easy to buy individual genes online. They cost about $1 each, down from the $18 apiece charged just a few years ago. Researchers last year created a synthetic polio virus by simply stitching together these mail-order genes.
National security experts and even synthetic biologists themselves are concerned that rogue scientists could create new biological weapons — like deadly viruses that lack natural foes. They also worry about innocent mistakes: organisms that could potentially create havoc if allowed to reproduce outside the lab.
Researchers are casting about for ways to self-police the field before it really takes off. Leaders in the field have organized a second national conference to grapple with these issues this coming May and the Arthur P. Sloan Foundation in June handed out a $570,000 grant to study the social implications of the new field.
"This is powerful work and we live in an age that many tools and technologies can be turned into weaponry," said Laurie Zoloth, a bioethicist at Northwestern University. "You always have the problem of dual-use in every new technology. Steel can be used to make sewing needles or spears."
Totally agree, we have powers that are waiting to be unlocked!
Remember what Jesus did for Lazarus!
Happy Thanksgiving Acura2012! May your day be full of happiness, love ones, and good left overs! lol
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! May your day be full of happiness, love ones .... and good left overs! lol
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! May your day be full of happiness and love ones!
BWNG - interesting break

Actually I never bought into WAVR, ran into some troubles with some OTC and Pink sheets last month. So I'm refining what I know, that is why I started the large cap project, to remind myself on why last year was profitable!
Things to Do today: Study Ken's Knight's crossing, money mountain
!
Another nice day for your seasonality pick of AKAM, nice work, above avg volume today as well. Never to early to protect profits, just check out CMED and you'll see why!
I've already used up my 15 posts! Oh well back to work for me lol!
lol Ken! I need a hail mary!!!!!
WAVR - I had posted this chart before when it reached 7.5 cents just before mid - Nov, but then forgot about it cause of the pullback. Well it pullbacked and then shot to the moon.

Thank you for the board.
Those have had a good run already so one must be always careful.
I've notice that alot of medical equipment providers have had an excellent run and volume in the last month or so. Some are continuing.
If you follow the link back you'll get more info

Buy high sell higher !
Nice work Ken, glad you're seeing result from all your hard work! By the new year I will be a member of your Seasonality website! Its on my Christmas list, lol!

This is why I like your board, keep up the great calls, looking forward trading with you in the future !
Nasty sell-off for STTK late in trading.
ED - you watching PCR.TO still, nice break yesterday, lets see if it follows through today

I wasn't aware that AKAM was a seasonal pick .. great move and cleared that 18.47 break. It was upgraded by Prudential yesterday.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ud?s=AKAM
CMED - What an amazing drop yesterday, I was watching real time, it was 42 and then about 10 mins later dropped to 38 and then closed at 35. It had a nice run and then a major sell off.
ADPT - update
Couldn't hold $5.00 but its been a could couple of months

Hello Ken,
I wasn't aware that were planning a project on the Canadian stock index. Thats great, thanks please no rush. By the way nice returns on those portfolios for Nov, hard work often pays!

STTK - quite the late trading fall! This clearly shows the need of taking profits when there is strength

STTK - bid side is really impressive
Gok - I've been trapped into thinking my long term hold TMG.V would do good for me! Need to learn to get out when support doesn't hold! This week has been uneventful but my watchlist is excelling! Had my confidence shattered last month but now regaining it!
BWNG - interesting break occuring

BWNG - 6.74

Thanks SA, wish I wasn't out of commission though, I would've took advantage of the situation! Need to learn to get the heck out when support can't hold! So frustrating, but its gonna make me a better trader!
First called at 28 level, solid gains
