STEM = High volume, Swing trader's dream come true

misterjover said: "STEM has been getting lots of play all week long. Has anyone here capitalized on its gains during the past few days? With all this volume it seems that even $6 bagholders from the past few days can still be in the money. Other than PR and the stemcell hype, is there real substance that fuels this stock? Or is it another pumper's playground? ;)"

Checking the yahoo message boards, I see many lpposting "sell" notices, which may not mean much. If not STEM, another, maybe private biotech, will someday create awesome solutions for all of us who either suffer or may contract debilitating diseases down the road. What's holding the biotech area back is Bush and his neocon cronies. BUSINESS SUMMARY StemCells, Inc., a biotechnology company, engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases of the nervous system, liver, and pancreas.

However, for a day trader/swing trader - the worth of a company is not relevant - it's the investor/speculator sentiment that makes my living........ buy low/sell high/buy back in lower// and do it again.... :cool:"
