I first learned of BioTime when they licensed the ACTCellerate Technology from ACTC around August 12, 2008. Its to bad I didnt know about Dr. Michael West at the time because I would of loved to pick up shares at around .50 per share. I then, some time later, read about Dr. West and Biotime and purchased shares @ 2.50 each. When it hit about $6 I sold half and held my free shares for a long time until closing the position yesterday @ 7.45 per share. My theory on stem cell investing is that I want to own shares of anything Robert Lanza, M.D., Dr. Hans Kierstead and Dr. Michael West are involved in. These guys are the big players, good times are ahead and I am along for the ride. I only sold BTX because it was pure profit and I wanted to buy more GERN, but I will be buying back into BTX as soon as I can dump more cash in the Roth. I would be interested if anyone knows any other big players or other companies I can research, but for now ACTC, BTX & GERN are my stem cell plays.
