October ended frantically as the market sold off due mostly to mutual funds locking in end of fiscal year profits. Practically every sector dropped significantly and the stem cell stocks were no exception.

Top Stem Cell Stock Performer(s) the Last Two Weeks:

- BioTime, Inc. (BTIM) = Up 26%; This pop on news that it was moving to AMEX. These stocks typically tank once they officially move. Could be a shorting opportunity

Worst Stem Cell Stock Performer(s) the Last Two Weeks:

- StemCell Inc. (STEM) = Down -29%; This stock tanked due to equity financing (A.K.A dilution). The exercise price is much higher than the current share price and the dilution is less than 10%. This looks to be a bit overdone and could be a bounce candidate.
