Good Morning All,

Congressional Republicans have continued their grandstanding this week through the delay of several cabinet appointments that will happen anyway. I do not oppose due diligence in any area, but it does appear to this observor that delaying, or, as it were, holding up the Eric Holder appointment to the office of Attorney General is a little over the top, particularly when one considers the tenure and practices of Alberto Gonzales. President Obama stated in his speech that it was time to put away childish things...it is long past time.

Geron Corporation, one of my stem cell recommendations of November last, is up strongly this morning on news that the FDA has approved the first human clinical trial of embryonic stem cell therapy. It is likely no coincidence that this has occurred in the post inauguration days. Others in the group are moving in sympathy and will each trade much higher over the coming weeks. Please consult my list for names and google the story.
