Wondering what others are doing after Ocata - assuming the tender goes through, which it looks like it will.
I've already starting buying a few other 'safe' stocks..
GSK looks good under $40, and pays a good dividend - that's one to just buy and sit on.
HUN is experiencing a sharp drop recently, I'm thinking I might grab a few of those.. I did very well on HUN a few years back when I bought in late 2008 for a little over $3.30 and sold out near $20 a few years later.. it continued to move up to almost $30 but took a big hit over the last few months and is currently just under $11.. might be time to reinvest (plus it also has decent regular dividends). The Huntsman family have very strong political connections, and Jon Huntsman junior was Utah State Governor, and then US Ambassador to China, which certainly must open some doors.
I grabbed a small amount of ALPMY (Astellus) just in case, but as others have mentioned, it is subject to currency swings so a little dubious on that one.. I wouldn't touch it if it weren't for the Ocata tender.
If FDA roadblocks are really the primary reason for Wotton giving Ocata away, I'm a bit skeptical about investing in high risk bio stocks after this misadventure. I believe Ocata had the best chance of success of most of the spec biotechs, and look what happened! Doesn't bode well for others, but if I do venture there, I think it will be as a trader this time. Could have made a bundle of Ocata over the years flipping it.
With the FED set to finally up interest rates, what are others thinking of doing post-Ocata?

Thinking about getting in to BAC with the rate hike coming it may be fruitful. Funny thing is I got my brother into BAC at about $6 a few years ago during the downturn. Wanted to get him into ACTC, but I know he'd have killed me if he had to ride the same rollercoaster I was riding. I'm better with other people's money than I am my own.

I play golf with a guy who retired at 45 after retiring from the company he creating. I'm fuzzy on the details but this company organizes and executes the technological aspects of FDA clinical trials. They plan and administer the software, equipment, training etc. Anyway he has a team of guys keeping him updated on the latest and greatest, and right now he likes TXMD (TherapeuticsMD). They just ran up 30% after a successful Phase III trial, but they have a lot else going on.
I didn't get in when he told me too, which was within the last 3 weeks, but I may soon if it pulls back after this recent spike.
Do your own DD.

How about getting me this information like....two weeks ago. |

My "guy" says it's a $30 stock within a year or so. It may still be worth checking out. |

I am done reading or posting on boards and checking the pps every day... will let my financial adviser diversify investment and pick conservative funds to put the proceeds from this pos investment. If I had listened to the pros I would have been so much better off.
