Am I on to something here? RGEN...

clock said: "...looks extremely interesting to me. There's a deal in the works (supposedly) that would (supposedly) double their revenue. Not only that, the company deals primarily with central nervous system treatment/development, something that could allow it to seriously take off if certain bans on certain types of research are lifted. Someone over on CAPS said " The economy is slowly gaining steam and if the Democrats get in - it'll be jet assisted takeoff." I'm starting to believe they're right on the money. Could some of you older, more experienced folk take a look at it and tell me if I'm wrong?"

Any other opinions?"

I have however changed my stance after watching some pretty interesting political shows. If Clinton wins the primary, then the chance of a democrat in office goes down, because of who she is and how she is viewed. People will vote against her, just to vote against her. Obama has a better chance of winning the office, but less chance of winning the primary. Does any of this make sense? LOL. Probably not, but the show was pretty interesting, I want to say is was on CNN after the Democratic debate. I forget who it was, but they made a pretty convincing argument that a black male has a better chance to win than a white female, especially when that female is Clinton. DISCLAIMER-The views above are not my views, they are the views of the guy on TV, and I am just sharing with the board."

I won't vote for hillary, she's already been in the office for 8 years! Why twice??? ;)"

clock said: "OK wait we're getting slightly off-topic here. Even without considering the stem cell research aspect of this company, what do you people think of them?"
