Index to Track New Era for Stem Cell Cos.
 
Shares of Geron (GERN) are soaring today by more than 40% on FDA approval to begin human clinical testing this summer for an embryonic stem cell treatment for spinal cord injuries.

Every once in awhile, I break all of my rules and do something like I have done in the past, go with my gut :). My trading portfolio is down today because of a drop in Kinetic Concepts (KCI) which as I write, is trading at $58.23, down $(4.77) or (7.57)% on the day.
