Biocosm "Disruptive technology" Two candidates that are on my list are GZTC and SEPR. Goats and Gilder, cryogenic production technology, yeah he can get off on the marvels of the present. The previously mentioned MLNM and related stocks are obvious, except for their already high valuations. Another "disruptive technology" is eliminating cancer as a deadly disease. I am convinced that in the not too distant future chemotherapy will be considered as barbaric as blood letting. CDIC, another candidate, is pioneering non-invasive heart diagnostics. Yesterday at my annual physical I submitted to a new blood test. This test breaks HDL and LDL into approximately 12 components. Other lipids are also evaluated. Too many people with "normal" HDL/LDL ratio's are having congestive heart failure. It now appears that there is not only good and bad cholesterol but, there is also good and bad components of HDL and LDL. The test identifies specific blood profiles including those that are genetically dispose one to heart problems. The test cost $600 and is not covered by insurance. My father died of congestive heart failure at 55. Now 53 I gladly paid the $600. What would I have paid to turn back the clock 30 years and give the test to my dad. George, if he does his research, will be able to derive a valued list of companies that have technologies that will positively "disrupt" our future lives. And...... he has the potential to bring a significant amount of understanding, and attention, to our little "biocosm" world.
