The Planet Blasts
Off |
|
I had a BLOG entry up early
Thursday morning for those who might have been looking for guidance on
the Commerce Planet (OTC BB: CPNE) story. What a huge win this has
proven to be for those who either picked it up this year or averaged their
cost down from last year's tough sledding. The stock traded to a low of
$.19
in 2006 on March 21st. A mere four months later, the stock closes
at $.885- net return of 365% if you had the courage to buy
it at the low.
CPNE is a classic example
of how a little faith and luck can be rewarded in the microcap arena. The
outstanding corporate performance helps. If the company stays on track
there will be little holding this stock back from returning to its previous
highs in the $2 range. Will it go straight to $2? - no. There will be bumps
and grinds along the way, and your faith will be tested. Can they get derailed?
Of course. The business could change. However, if they can simply deliver
the same corporate performance in Q3, earnings should come in at about
$.06
to $.07 per share, suggesting $.24 to $.28 EPS annually- a $2
stock anytime.
If you're wondering how or when to
get on board, here's a chart with my preferred .382% and .618% retracement
levels drawn in. Personally, I don't like buying streaking stocks as the
get extended. Sooner or later they always pull back. If it were my money,
here's where I would be willing to put some capital to work. I would start
by taking a partial position on a pullback at the .382% level - $.76.
I would complete my position if I was lucky enough to see the stock pullback
to the .618 level- in this case $.66.

Medistem
(OTC BB: MDSM) Back in the News- Progressing With More Therapies |
 |
I promised everyone an update on
Medistem,
the Nike of the stem cell industry. Unlike their brethren technology
companies, MDSM is embarking on an ambitious plan to actually begin
treating patients with adult, non controversial
Stem Cells. They
plan to do so by licensing their technology to clinics worldwide who can
legally treat patients with Stem Cells right now. I call them the
Nike
of the stem cell industry because, instead of talking about it and researching
for the next 10 years, they plan to JUST DO IT!
I don't mean to sound cavalier about
such a serious subject. They have done a lot or research, and are ready
to treat patients. The first licensed clinic will begin treating patients
in San Juan, Costa Rica any day now. They plan to expand world wide in
short order once the first clinic is operational.
I like this idea because I believe
they will generate a lot of publicity once treatments begin, especially
if they happen to deliver some extraordinary results. I can visualize a
60 Minutes segment, or something of the like.
While we wait for treatments to start,
the company is working on some new therapies for a variety of maladies.
Friday they filed for a patent in a huge market segment - erectile dysfunction.
The estimate - 30 million American men suffer from some form of erectile
dysfunction.
My SSL on this one was $.55
for the summer sell off. Friday, the stock closed at $.36. It's
time to have another look if you heeded my advice and got out at higher
levels. As you can see from the chart, the stock is well positioned for
a rebound. You can see the volume capitulation in late May and early June.
This sets us up for easy money for the few who will wade in when no one
wants the stock.
Here's Friday's press release for
your review:

Medistem Files Patent
Application for Stem Cell Therapy to Treat Erectile Dysfunction
Friday August 4, 4:01 pm
ET
Potential Therapy Designed to Reverse
Multiple Causes of Erectile Dysfunction and Target $3 Billion Global Market
for ED Treatments
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2006--Medistem Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB:MDSM - News; FWB:S2U),
committed to the ethical development of next-generation medical therapies
from non-controversial adult stem cell sources, has filed a patent application
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a potential stem
cell therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED).
Medistem's potential
stem cell therapy targets the market for ED drugs and other treatments.
According to "Drug Store News," this market is approximately $3 billion
per year. Unlike the widely prescribed ED drugs currently in use, Medistem
believes the invention could address the underlying physiological causes
to restore erectile function, both by inhibiting disease processes as well
as through regenerative activity to ameliorate and reverse damage to blood
vessels, nerves and related cells.
The number of American
men suffering from erectile dysfunction is estimated to be near 30 million,
according to the National Institute of Health, with an estimated 100 million
patients worldwide.
"This invention is designed
to treat the root causes of ED, and hopefully enable patients to restore
healthy erectile abilities without having to continue taking medications,"
said Chris McGuinn, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Medistem.
Drugs called phosphodiesterase
inhibitors currently dominate the market. Still, many ED sufferers are
unresponsive to phosphodiesterase inhibitors, cannot tolerate the adverse
side effects, or are otherwise ineligible for treatment due to heart disease
and other medical conditions.
Medistem's invention
contemplates the use of stem cells to restore erectile function through
the treatment of various physical factors, including the regeneration of
smooth muscle cells inside the penis, neural regeneration and restoration
of endothelial cells lining the inside of blood vessels, and the formation
of new blood vessels, among other functions.
Frequency of ED increases
with age (source: Harvard School of Public Health, 2003). As the U.S. and
world population ages, the percentages of men seeking ED treatment is anticipated
to accelerate and spur further growth in this multi-billion dollar marketplace.
The patent application
was filed in July of 2006. There can be no assurance that the patent application
will be approved, or if approved, that the invention will yield a commercially
viable treatment.
