lol, be a big one for sure...no telling what kind of dough may be drawn to this one...
Have you seen anything like this down in these markets before, Tex? I have never seen any OTC/Pink stock/company featured on every major international news outlet.
You are right, when big investors see the news at dinner tonight, they will be calling their brokers. Could be a lot of major players that don't normally mess with stocks down here. This is way bigger than this stock, this is a medical milestone...

Advanced Cell to Host Investor Conference Call to Discuss Breakthrough Technique to Generate Embryonic Stem Cells without Harming Embryo; Proprietary Method May Remove Ethical and Political Obstacles to Stem Cell Research and Federal Funding
ALAMEDA, Calif., Aug 23, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:ACTC), developers of groundbreaking human embryonic stem cell technologies to create next-generation medical therapies, will hold an investor conference call on Friday, August 25, 2006, at 12 noon Eastern, to discuss its novel technique to generate human embryonic stem cell lines from embryos while fully preserving the embryo's potential for life and development. The proprietary technique, which was recently published in the scientific journal "Nature," aims to resolve many of the ethical issues currently stunting embryonic stem cell research and may finally open the door to needed funding from the federal government.
During the conference call, William M. Caldwell IV, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Cell Technology (ACT), and Dr. Michael D. West, Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer of ACT, will discuss the company's scientific advances and business initiatives, and will address investor questions.
Among the primary ethical objections of those who oppose the generation of human embryonic stem cells is that all techniques, until now, have resulted in the destruction of the embryo. The company's newly published proprietary technique may overcome this hurdle, offering the potential to speed the progress of stem cell science from laboratory to bedside.
"We hope that this new technique will allow us to make stem cell lines widely available for researchers around the country," said Mr. Caldwell. "Our goal is to help accelerate basic research and enable the translation of that research into real cures and treatments for many of the world's most devastating diseases."
In the paper in "Nature," ACT scientists described their technique to generate human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) using a method for deriving stem cells from human blastomeres with a single-cell biopsy technique called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). PGD is a widely used practice used at in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics to assess the genetic health of preimplantation embryos. To date, more than 1,500 healthy children have been born following the procedure, and live with their families today.
Current embryonic stem cell technology is the source of a heated national controversy because it derives hES cells from the inner cell mass of later-stage embryos known as blastocysts, destroying their potential for further development. "What has made ACT's novel approach so groundbreaking is its ability to generate stem cell lines of equal scientific value from a single cell obtained from an 8-cell-stage embryo, while maintaining the embryo's potential to develop normally," said Mr. Caldwell.

I agree...no...never seen it...vets here may have, but not me--never *heard* of such immediate, widespread, mainstream coverage.
In fact, I think it's fortuitous timing. Here's why: This much news vs small float? Had news hit this morning, I would've expected an NASD halt, perchance with much higher price upon resumption. As is, maybe it can trade straight through, tomorrow...

Nah, it'll jump right over it.
I think it will gap up way over that, IMO. This is literally a front page news story everywhere. This is not just a fluff PR, this is major international news. When big investers see the news, and see the stock price under $5, they will laugh and buy a sh!tload!

I know this is going to be huge.. check out some poster on RB called BillyCal... he knew about this PR 2 or 3 days in advance (see his posts on the DNAG board)... has an inside source about this.. too bad I didn't see his posts before!
Anyway, he is saying that this will lead to organ regeneration and such... huge.
