<<Yeah...so...let's talk about stem cells! :)>> Did you see yesterdays ride.......Amazing....some of them were down 60% during the day........but, this should be expected...we have a very new and fairly controversial 'sector', in which case MOST, not all, but most, of these companies are not making money and wont be for awhile....but the sheer prospects of what may? lie ahead, drove these babies up HUGE %'s. So, regardless of prospects, you still have to take into account that most of these companies are losing money, yet they have gone up from pennies to $3 - $10....If I bought at $.50 ( I did buy a couple under $1) and the stock shoots to $5 or more, you can be pretty sure I have been selling on the way up.....I suspect many more are the same way....so, I certainly expect alot of volatility for most of these companies.....very hard to tell if they get the mo mo behind them to keep up the tremendouns momentum, or if they come back down to earth....some of them could pull a tasr and go from $5 to $100 in a blink, for all I know....what I do know is that there could be a very bright future for the stem cell companies...a very, very bright future....but that doesnt mean it is safe to buy...as I said...for all I know, they could all shoot to $100 a share....and for all I know, they can all drop back down to a buck.....They were all worth the gamble a year ago, I thought, as they were all very cheap and I knew it would be a good year for good news on the amazing advances in medical science that would be coming out in this sector.....but now...I still think we will continue to see great news on the breakthru's accomplished, but fundamentally, it is hard for me to recommend any company that has gone up 500 - 1000% and is losing money.....basically, it's a bet. Like with RMBS, I dont think these stem companies will stay in this range....when rmbs is finished with it's legal junk, I think they will be alot higher or alot lower....same with all these stem cell companies...I think they will be alot higher or lower down the road...no way do I think they move with the markets...and they havent for the past year...the stem cell sector has DWARFED any gains in any of the major indices the last year.....But as we all know, with stocks, it is not what they did yesterday, but what will they do tomorrow...and thats where the question lies within this sector......Gotta run....a few busy days ahead......

I think we talked briefly about this company...and no, I certainly am not pumping it and in fact will go right ahead and state that like all penny stocks, it is a 100% gamble....it does have nice fundamentals for a penny stock, but that still does not guarantee sucess by any means....some of the things I like and why I think it is worth the gamble : MSFT Gold Certified Partner ( and of course msft has some money invested in them as well<g>) They get alot of support and business from MSFT. MSFT trusts this company to do projects for MANY fortune 500/1000 companies. Do some DD and see a list of their customers...quite an impressive list. Legit biz, not run out of somebodies basement<g>, with actual real revenue coming in. Gap to .25 is on the technical charts, still yet to fill. An institution recently initiated coverage ( forgot who, but it's all in the news timeline) and rated PJTG a "Speculative BUY" Insiders recently decided to lock up something like 25 million shares for 2 years...meaning, they cannot sell those shares for 2 years...I would suspect insiders have a good grasp on what their business is doing. I would think they would have sold those shares yesterday had they thought biz was not good and future prospects looked bleak. By locking those shares voluntarily, it would seem obvious the insiders believe those shares will be higher, not lower in 2 years..... Lots of more good stuff if you do DD, but again, none of the above guarantees success at all, so anybody interested in this company, please do your own dd and make your own educated decisions after doing so. <<The Project Group Earns New Work Order from Microsoft -To Support One of the Largest Automobile Manufacturers in the World- Wednesday January 26, 6:44 am ET HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 2005--The Project Group, Inc.
