Medistem (OTC
BB: MDSM) Gets Favorable Forecast |
|
Remember Medistem? MDSM is
my microcap idea with a stem cell theme. If you don't follow this one,
a review of the original presentation is warranted. To read the original
presentation published February 1, simply click
here.
I called MDSM the Nike of
stem cells as they are going to "Just Do It" with stem cell therapy. The
company has licensed a lab in Costa Rica to use its non controversial stem
cell therapy to begin treating patients. The company will have cash flow
and a more valuable asset- the IP (intellectual property) associated with
the treatments.
On Friday morning, Beacon Equity
Research pegged the stock at $1.20, and it traded up nicely on the
day on volume far in excess of average daily activity. For details, read
the press release below.
The MDSM chart is illustrative
of a precept I covered last weekend. In the section entitled "Let Volume
Be Your Guide" we looked at how to judge pull backs in stocks. I suggested
low volume pullbacks were buying opportunities. High volume sell offs suggest
you might need to take your loss and move on. Read the March 4th edition
for the whole story.
Here's another component- the February
19th edition entitled "Setting Your Stop Losses". I suggested a $.55
stop loss for MDSM.
The company has been nearly dead
silent for a month now, and the stock has drifted down in kind. However,
as you can see from the circle on the chart, there has been little volume
associated with the pullback.
Friday's volume back to the upside
was considerably greater than the last three of four days combined. Therefore,
whether you sold it at the stop loss or not, the pullback is in my view
a great opportunity to accumulate, not a reason to sell.
I continue to believe this company
could generate a significant amount of publicity as they begin treating
patients with stem cells and announcing results. This stock should end
up on a lot of radar screens.
Here is the complete text of Friday's
news for your review:

Medistem Laboratories
Announces Beacon Equity Research Initiates Coverage of Medistem with Target
Share Price of $1.20 and 'Speculative Buy' Rating
Friday March 10, 11:40
am ET
Report Cites Medical
Promise of Medistem's Non-Controversial Adult Stem Cell Technology
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--March 10, 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 announced
that fee-based investment research firm Beacon Equity Research has rated
Medistem as a "Speculative Buy," and has targeted the Company's 12-month
share price at $1.20.
The report provides an
overview of Medistem's strategic business initiatives, proprietary technologies
and competitive advantages as it seeks to develop new stem cell-based therapies
for a range of medical conditions. Among the competitive advantages noted
in the report is Medistem's focus on research and clinical development
of adult stem cells derived from non-controversial sources.
"Initially, the firm
plans to focus on the use of proprietary technology and cells sourced from
umbilical cords, placentas, fat, bone marrow, and muscle for the advanced
treatment of cerebral palsy, stroke, cardiovascular disease and orthopedic
diseases, primarily for the international marketplace," noted the report,
authored Shailesh Dhuri, Senior Research Analyst for Beacon.
The report also provides
a review of Medistem's business strategy, noting the establishment of a
series of international clinics that license Medistem's technology. The
clinics will conduct advanced clinical research as well as deliver stem
cell therapies to patients on a fee-for-service basis. "Medistem's strategy
is to establish licensing agreements with clinics in nations that are 'friendly'
to stem cell research and deliver next-generation medical treatments that
are regenerative and not just palliative," the report wrote. "In the process,
Medistem seeks to help enrich the lives of millions of patients."
The report adds: "Management
believes that it may hold a substantial competitive edge as the worldwide
market is widening for stem cell-sourced medical solutions; positioning
it to become a leading global provider of stem cell treatments on a fee-for-service
basis, while accumulating intellectual property based on clinical and laboratory
findings."
"In particular, Medistem's
custom medical treatments on a fee-for-service basis are anticipated to
generate revenues exceeding $3 million within the first year of clinical
operation, according to management," the report states.
"The Beacon Equity Research
report provides an excellent overview and investment-oriented analysis
of Medistem's business and technology, and will serve as a valuable research
resource for the investment community," said Neil Riordan, Ph.D., Medistem's
CEO.

Comments in the BLOG

One new BLOG posting. Had
to BLOG the 30% move in HDY on 1.2 million shares of Friday.
I am on the sidelines and looking silly. Check the BLOG for comments.
Also, a lot of people are looking for my thoughts on Family Room (OTC
BB: FMLY)- Check the ride side column of today's edition.
To use the BLOG, simply go
to the home page at www.otcjournal.com
- the BLOG will scroll down automatically on the right side of your
screen. You can look there by company. The most current journal entries
appear in the middle of your screen in chronological order. Check back
frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to overbought
or oversold levels or in volatile markets. Your questions and postings
do not automatically appear, so don't bother posting the same question
multiple times. I personally go through to moderate and respond to every
reasonable question.

Family Room (OTC BB: FMLY)
Update
|
For those inquiring minds who want
to know, I did jump in there on Friday and pick up 250k shares of FMLY
at about $.02. However, I am not optimistic about any big score here.
The reason I jumped in is because
the stock was rebounding, and I am convinced the financiers have simply
run out of stock to sell. Therefore, despite the significant volume slow
down, I believe the supply is finally dried up. I simply compared the number
of shares in the registration to the amount the shares Issued and outstanding
have grown, and the recent volume.
On the slightly negative side, it
doesn't look like 16 Blocks will create a big windfall. It only grossed
$11.8 million the first weekend- a bit of a disappointment. FMLY probably
won't see any big pay day here. Also, the volume is pulling back.
Nevertheless, I dropped back and
punted. Be forewarned I won't have a lot of patience. I might sell at any
moment as soon as I see daylight.
