You should never get into a stock that already went up that much in one day. Almost always there will profit taking. No matter how much hype there is, there will always be another play like this. But this time you might be lucky. This is huge news! It's everywhere you look! The crazy thing is this is a penny stock! Since you got in late don't be greedy.

Hey Matto...I have a dilemma...I go back to work tomorrow...won't be able to access a computer till 1:00. Am I safe to wait till then confident it will continue to go up, or should I set a sell order

The issue of Embryos getting Destroyed, has been a major issue in almost every country working in Stem Cell Research. This end all Negative views about this Science. Right now this news is spreading like wild fire all over the world. I think this will get the most coverage ever for a penny stock, at least that I've seen.
"U.S. law currently bans federal funding of any research that harms human embryos. A White House spokeswoman said the new method's eligibility for funding could not yet be determined, "but it is encouraging to see scientists at least making serious efforts to move away from research that involves the destruction of embryos."
"I think this will become a standard way of producing stem cell lines," said Ronald M. Green, a Dartmouth College professor of religion who is an unpaid bioethics adviser to Advanced Cell Technology."

Stem Cell Breakthrough May End Political Logjam By Karen Kaplan, Times Staff Writer 1:42 PM PDT, August 23, 2006
Scientists announced today the creation of human embryonic stem cells using a technique that does not require the destruction of any embryos, a development that offers a path to break the political logjam over the highly touted but ethically troubled research.
The method, described in the journal Nature, involves taking a normal 3-day-old embryo with only eight to 10 cells and removing a single cell, which is then biochemically coaxed into becoming a colony that produces embryonic stem cells. The original embryo, despite missing one cell, is unharmed, thus avoiding concerns over destroying a potential life.
ADVERTISEMENT Fertility clinics have been removing cells from embryos created in vitro to screen them for genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities since 1990. Doctors estimate that at least 2,500 children alive today had a cell or two removed when they were embryos.
"Any use of human embryos for research purposes raises serious ethical concerns, but it is encouraging to see scientists at least making serious efforts to move away from research that involves the destruction of embryos," said White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore.
The key scientific advance was finding a way to get a single, early-stage blastomere cell to thrive in a laboratory dish long enough to produce stem cells. Typically, embryonic stem cells are harvested from the inner cell mass of 4- or 5-day-old embryos that contain about 150 cells.
Dr. Robert Lanza, the senior author of the study, said the aim of the research was to find a way to make embryonic stem cells that satisfy reasonable ethical concerns and thus could become eligible for federal funding.
"The goal for us scientists is to have more lines," said Lanza, medical director of Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass. "Hopefully, if the politicians agree, this method could be used to increase the number of lines available for federal funding and thus give the field a badly needed jump-start."
The National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies may fund embryonic stem cell research, but only on a limited number of cell lines that were derived before August 2001. President Bush last month vetoed a bipartisan bill to expand stem-cell funding to more than 100 newer cell lines.
Lawrimore said it would be premature to comment on whether the new approach would qualify for federal funding.
Some religious conservatives said some ethical problems still remain.
In other mammals, a single blastomere cell can develop into a twin of the embryo from which it was removed, said Nicanor Austriaco, a Dominican friar and molecular biologist at Providence College in Providence, R.I.
"This raises the concern that the blastomeres isolated by ACT in order to create a stem cell line are in fact bona-fide embryos that are destroyed in the process of creating the stem cell lines," he said.
Lanza and other stem cell experts said that while it may be possible to grow a human blastomere into a full-scale embryo, it does not occur naturally and has never been documented in a lab.
"They're citing something without any medical evidence," said Dr. Irving L. Weissman, director of Stanford University's stem cell institute.
Richard M. Doerflinger, secretariat for pro-life activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Washington, D.C., said the safety of the single-cell biopsy procedure had not been scientifically established.
"Some embryos do not survive the process, and some survivors may have long-term effects later in life," he said.
Fertility specialists who perform the procedure — dubbed pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD — acknowledge that there have not been any scientific efforts to study its effect on embryos or to track the children after they are born.
Between 20% and 25% of couples that use PGD to make sure their children don't wind up with genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis end up with healthy babies through in vitro fertilization, said Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson, an OB-GYN and professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. That compares to a success rate of 28.3% for all IVF patients, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"There's every reason to think that it's safe," Simpson said. "But the bottom line is, there are insufficient data to prove that it's safe or not safe."
Whether stem cells derived from this technique could be eligible for federal funds may hinge on that question. Congress forbids the funding of research in which a human embryo or embryos are destroyed, discarded or knowingly subjected to risk of injury or death.
"Can I reassure people who have put this language on our appropriation that not even one time in a thousand a single-cell biopsy won't harm an embryo?" said Dr. James F. Battey, who chairs the stem cell task force at the National Institutes of Health. Without the necessary research, he said, "I can't do that."

I think ACTC will be the first Penny Stock that many Investors and Big Board Traders will buy. Many people will view Penny Stocks differently after this one.

Hopin...I have been in quite a few "sure things" that never did work out the way I imagined. Finally maybe one will:)
