Jerm...the way I see it,since the deal has been pretty recent(August)and they set the deal at .20 a share,that tells me this dip is going to be quite temporary and should be taken advantage of.In order to create a more fluid PPS this stock is a great candidate for a forward split,it seems everything is in perfect order just for that.Now wouldn't that be nice...snatch up a couple 100k this week and then they file a pre14 requesting a FS of maybe 3 for 1 or maybe 5 for 1? Only speculating here and have no inside information to sustain this theory.
the Company had 37,561,205 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 21,772,737 were held by non-affiliates. (think about these low numbers!,this could take off like BIPH did! Been reading the most recent 10K, thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes:
1. "The company believes that it will report a net profit for 2005."
2. Regarding LifeStem's stem cell banking service: "It is not unreasonable to project potential revenues approaching $100 Million within 36 to 48 months with as few as 10,000 clients."
3. Officers and Directors:
James DeOlden, Esq. -- CEO: B.A. from UVA, J.D. from Whittier Law School, he has a securities law practice.
Edward Deese -- President, COO: B.S. in Economics from University of California, Irvine.
John Gordon, Ph.D. -- CTO: B.Sc. Honors in Cell Biology, Ph.D. from University of Glasgow.
4. Scientific Advisory Board:
Kary B. Mullis: Recieved the 1993 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Ph.D. from Berkeley, B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology.
Basically, the company looks like it's going to be profitable soon and the directors and advisors appear to be very intelligent people who are leaders in their respective fields.
CalbaTech is focused on developing and providing products and platforms to the research market, both for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as academic institutions.

CalbaTech's business strategy is establish shareholder value by creating a significant new niche market by providing research reagents, equipment and services to the pharmaceutical research market, primarily through acquisition of life science companies that share the following attributes: 1) They will be generating revenues; 2) They will be profitable; and 3) They will be suppliers of products and services into the pharmaceutical research market. Rather than produce pharmaceutical products that require more than $100 Million to reach the marketplace, CalbaTech companies will seek to provide the products and services used by the researchers creating pharmaceutical products.
"The company reported that its outside patent counsel has conducted a preliminary patent review of the concepts and has reported favorable findings to CalbaTech's management. LifeStem, Dr. Van Tassel and outside counsel will work to further refine the intellectual property and expect to file provisional patents with the United States Patent Office".
Also the fact that the stock ran to .20 in july, expenses static around 1-mil, and this news out Thurs., is significiant, only it may take a few weeks for everyone to sort out.

The way it looks it appears the biotech sector is about to heat up probably equal to the energy sector,between the great advances recently in adult stem cell research now its about to open doors without controversy following behind which really inhibited the same research when extracting embryonic cells and now with the Avian flu predictions that could be catastrophic to say the least I think many labs are working overtime now. I may try to visit one of the CalbaTech divisions in Maryland this week before I head to Florida,if not I'll have to check it out when I get back near the end of Month, its the K-D Medical site...
K-D Medical, Inc. 6935-A Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland USA 21045 (410) 290-9690 (Phone) (410) 290-9691 (Fax)
a lot is going on in this sector and this specific industry so we can expect more PR's from the company imo keeping up us to date and so far fortunately I don't believe we are listed in any foreign markets like Berlin of Frankfurt.
ANKARA, Turkey -- Turkey and Romania culled thousands of birds and imposed quarantine zones on Sunday to try to stop the spread of avian flu as scientists worked to discover if the outbreaks could be the deadly H5N1 strain.
Reports of Turkey's outbreak only surfaced on Saturday night, but nearly 2,000 turkeys died at the affected farm near the Aegean Sea on Tuesday and Wednesday and hundreds more were culled overnight in the affected area, local media said.
Hurriyet newspaper quoted Mehmet Eksen, owner of the stricken farm, as saying he now feared for his own health. Authorities slapped a 3 km (1.8 mile) quarantine ring around the site.
"I cried when I witnessed the death of my turkeys. I cannot forget those moments ... But now I think of myself and what will happen to my health. I cannot go near my wife and children."
The state Anatolian news agency quoted local official Resul Celik as saying: "At the moment this is not a situation which should cause (ordinary citizens) any worry."
Romania's suspected outbreak was detected in poultry in the Danube delta, on the Black Sea, and the European Commission says the two cases are different but they have raised the specter of the disease reaching European Union countries.
If the Romanian cases did turn out to be the deadly H5N1 virus, they would be the first evidence the strain has spread to Europe from Asia, where it has killed more than 60 people and millions of birds since 2003.
Russia and Kazakhstan have already had outbreaks.
Experts fear H5N1 could mutate into a virus which spreads easily among humans, creating a pandemic that might kill millions. The so-called Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 killed between 20 and 40 million people worldwide.
Britain said it was sending a team of experts to Romania to help and was in touch with Turkey authorities. Romania said Britain, which has the European reference laboratory for avian influenza, would deliver "the final verdict" on the birds.

A two-day webcast begins Saturday, hosted by BayBio, Northern California's life science association, where the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) will hold its first scientific meeting featuring six scientific sessions with presentations by stem cell researchers and clinicians from the United States, Australia, Canada, Israel, Sweden and the United Kingdom.....link...baybio .org
this and the upcoming releases will play a big roll for CLBE and other stem cell and biotech companies and you can bet institutional interest is growing so if you think its hard to buy now just wait when the big boys step in.

Stem Cell Cure for Peripheral Vascular Disease on the Horizon
Peripheral Vascular Disease is a near-pandemic condition that threatens millions with loss of limb; and also life. PVD is the result of narrowing arteries that deprive regions of the body—typically hands, feet, and limbs—of much-needed blood. Stem cell therapy enables patients’ own bodies to repair damaged blood vessels and grow new ones thus restoring blood flow and oxygen to damaged tissue.
If you have a professional interest in whether embryonic and other forms of stem cell research are supported at the state level, then you should subscribe to State Stem Cell Funding News.

MMs just retreated from that .065 ask. Just as I typed this, another one retreated.
No MMs anymore at the .065 ask!!!!!
Now it's 4 MMs at .07.
Must be a lot of demand for this, and this is gonna gap for sure.
I only wish that they'd filled more shares for me on Friday, but they didn't. I'll definitely have an order ready for .07 at the open. Maybe I'll get some more before this baby flies.

I am tellin ya,this has another "BIPH" written all over it,just look at the other stem cell companies now! Don't be surprised to see this at .20 this week imo!

many will see over the next month that this is heading north...far north imo.And once the IR firms kick in they are going to be targeted by institutional thats why most better buy asap because after the big boys step in the shares are gone!

Quest; I would but all my money is tied up with AMEP... I'll keep an eye on it though.

take advantage of these dips,many DT's made entries Friday and took profit exits this morning,doubt they get back in again unless they are going to pay higher.I possibly believe this could touch .20's this week before moving to even higher ground following weeks imo.
