Discover Stem Cell Stocks before the Hedge Funds

Feb. 1, 2008 - 9:00 PM (Revised on Feb. 13) - We believe stem cell stocks are going to get a huge amount of attention this year.

Stem cell stocks are companies that research and develop stem cells or enable the use of stem cells by doctors and hospitals.

Stem cells are unspecialized cells that give rise to a specific specialized cell. As you'll discover, just from the definition, stem cells can revolutionize the field of regenerative/reparative medicine. Stem cells are extremely powerful and can dramatically change how we treat various diseases.

There are two kinds of stem cells from animals and humans (embryonic and adult stem cells). Embryonic stem cell research has been a hot topic and a research funding and support bill that came out of Congress under the current Presidency was vetoed. The President vetoed the bill based on strong beliefs against embryonic stem cell research. His beliefs are backed by many congressmen and citizens across the United States.

We are starting to see stem cell stocks move, but we believe this is just the beginning. Stem cell stocks have been severely hampered by policy and lack of funding and support over the past several years. These are a few reasons why we have not seen stem cell stocks breakout huge.

But... we believe stem cell stocks will breakout and become some of the most popular stocks on Wall Street. Stem cell companies are looking for policy that funds and supports their research and development of stem cells.

We believe stem cell companies will get that support by way of the 2008 Presidential elections and a new Presidency. This is not a foregone conclusion that the White House will be pro-stem cells after this year’s general elections; however, democratic voters have been and continue to turn out in huge numbers during the primaries and will be quite motivated to vote in the fall General Elections.

The 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary is shaping up to be a race between Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barack Obama and this is great for stem cell stocks. Senator Hillary Clinton has promised to overturn President Bush's restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Senator Barack Obama has released a statement of support for stem cell research on his Senate page. Senator Barack Obama believes we should expand and accelerate research using embryonic stem cells, just as we should continue to explore the viability of adult stem cell use and cord blood use.

The 2008 Republican Presidential Primary front runner is Senator John McCain. Senator McCain has long supported embryonic stem cell research on embryos that would otherwise be discarded during assisted reproduction, but has been receiving pressure from the Republican base to drop support for embryonic stem cell research.

Investors are just starting to price all of this future potential into stem cell stocks. We believe stem cell stocks have a large amount of upside ahead. Analysts and investment managers in hedge funds and mutual funds could start loading up on stem cell stocks across the board. We wouldn't be surprised if the huge influx into stem cell stocks started sooner rather than later this year.
