Stock Puppy:

You wrote that the thread's been quiet lately. You said, "Let's talk".

I bought into Nexell (plus several other biotechs) early last week. Nexell scored at the top of my rather long list of "junior" biotech plays. (BTW, I started the Curagen (CRGN) thread and provided the first two posts some time ago -- note the price action in that stock since its IPO).

NEXL's low share price provides plenty of room for price appreciation -- a ten-bagger or more is possible. Its business niche of cell-separation technology/cancer therapeutics has great growth potential and investor visibility. NEXL has an international sales presence. Nine-month revenues rose slightly (2%) to $9.3M -- not bad.

Their float is a tractable 47.3M shares. Market cap is an appealing $186M. They have $23.5M in cash and 43 cents a share book value.

The only downside on the balance sheet (and it's a big one in my view) is a terrible debt-to-equity ratio of 1.8. This leverage will exert a significant drag on the company unless it's retired in a timely way.

OK for a start to the discussion?
