ACTC Trials Showing Improvement

I listened to the earnings call. ACTC has money to last 1 year tops. Then they must partner or rise more money  by ?  So they lost $5.4 million compared to a loss from operations of $4.8 million in the 2011 first quarter. ACTC stated that vision has improved and has stayed at that level. That is great news. ACTC will be filing for uplift to NASDAQ in the next few days. That is good news. ACTC is down just a little at 0.08. This company is a roll of the dice. The trial must show proof of improved vision. IMO they will.

Geron closed up a penny at $1.52. on only 309,725 shares. The three month avg volume is 794,769 shares. Waiting for news on the stem cell deal if any.

Can't cut a break on AAPL

I have 9 shares of AAPL slowly working my way up to 100 shares and then will sell a covered call. Right after I bought 1 share of AAPL it went down 15 points I then bought 8 more shares and it went down 20 more points. Afraid if I buy more it will go down 30 more points. I will buy more. It's the best company out there.

Geron closed down 4 cent at $1.51 on 604,131 shares. Three month avg. is 815,038 shares.  Again with no good news, we stay here and may go lower. The stem cell deal should come soon by July I hope. The 4 Phase 2 trial will have results by the end of this year. If there is no deal and poor results from trials Geron will trade in the pennies.

ACTC closed down a little at 0.0802 on 3.3 million shares. The three month avg volume is 8.3 shares. With more good results from Phase 1/2 trial we should hit 20 cent, with a joint venture we should hit $1.00.

Again both Geron and ACTC are a roll of the dice. Remember you can lose all your money in any company. I'm doing a good job doing just that.

Good luck in this rigged casino,

Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Trial Enrollment Completed

Geron completed planned enrollment of it's randomized Phase 2 clinical trial of imetelstat, a telomerace inhibitor, for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

We need positive news before years end, a partnering or selling of Geron's stem cell properties. That would produce an easy double in share price, maybe more. Will it happen, I think IMO soon, by July. With no real good news we stay at this level, and may go lower. Geron closed down one cent at $1.55 on 854,677 shares. The avg three month volume is 824,529.


Bought 7 more AAPL, 91 more to go, it's going to take a while.

Good webcast Geron

I listened to the 1Q 2012 Geron earnings conference call. Things are moving froward. Two of the Phase II trials have completed enrollment that is great news. Four more to go. Four Phase II trials will have results by the end of Dec 2012. Two Phase II trials will have results by Q2 of 2013. Chip stated they are in talks with people on selling stem cell business. Geron lost 15 cents this last Q.  Burned 20.2 million dollars this last Q. Geron has money to last 2 years, maybe. I bought 100 more shares at $1.54.

Geron closed down 7 cents at $1.56 on 980,000 shares. Three month avg. volume is 826,500 shares.

Good luck is this rigged casino,

Geron down Webcast today at 4:30PM 1Q Earnings

Geron down 5 cents at $1.58 on very little volume. I hope Chip has some good news today.

Added to my ACTC shares at 0.081.

Both companies are a roll of the dice. Remember you can lose all your money in any company.

Also bought one share of AAPL at $579.78. I will be adding AAPL slowly, working up to 100 shares. I have 98 more shares to go. When I hit 100 will sell a covered call.

Good luck in this rigged casino,

Webcast Q1 2012 Geron Earnings Conference Call

Q1 2012 Geron earnings conference call May 2 at 4:30PM. I will be listening, hoping for some positive news.
If you want to listen, go to Geron's website, click Investor Relations, click Events, look under Upcoming Investor Events and click Q1 2012 Earnings Conference Call.

Mr Earp resigned from his position as the company's Chief Legal Officer. Rumor is ViaCyte Lawyers were at Geron Corporate office Monday. They were doing the video deposition of Dr. Coleman. Mr. Earp is leaving after June he was staying until Geron/ViaCyte case is done, in June. Maybe ViaCyte/JNJ and Geron have come to an agreement to do a deal.

Geron closed down 4.5 cents at $1.63 on 533,535 shares. Three month avg volume is 835,484 shares. Going by the share price and volume the earnings conference call will be more of the same. I hope I'm wrong.
