Guys, Don't get your hopes up on this one. I was long GERN at $14 back in January when their anti-aging drug was being "hyped". They had a segment on the "20/20" television show on Friday, Jan. 16. I watched the show and thought I was gonna make a killing when the stock opened Monday morning. Instead the stock opened with a small gap up and by the time I sold 5 minutes into the open, I was out at $13 1/2 for 1/2 point loss. Check out the chart for January of this year to see what I mean. All the buying volume was today, and all the selling volume will be tomorrow morning. Jeff

Trading is a tough game, who's to say that the stock doesn't open at $14 and run to $25, those who didn't place market orders at the open lose out. There are several different scenarios and I don't think this will be anything like ENMD. I think this is bigger than the ENMD story, but the price likely won't happen. I wouldn't try giving out trading advice period, let each person understand that chasing news is a tough game and very risky, but you never know when it will pay off big. This run could go on for several days. ENMD blews its top all in one day. Let each person do their own DD. NASDBULL
