Life many investors of CBAI, I've been a long time holder. We've said it before and we'll say it again, this is a stock you buy, and forget about.
CBAI's sector has a lot of potential for the future and with the focus of health care changing from treatment of disease once someone is sick, to prevention of disease before someone gets sick, CBAI is positioned perfectly.
Insurance companies and the health care industry in general will start offering CBAI's service of stem storage at a low cost, or no cost at all to parents, especially those in high risk categories or those who have a family history of genetic disposition for diabetes, cancer, obesity, etc. etc., as a cost saving tool...especially if the government starts offering a low cost alternative to commercial insurance. Both the government and insurance companies understand it's cheaper to correct a genetic defect than to have to treat the disease.
CBAI is now the main player in cord blood storage...hands down. The argument that hospitals and health care providers will provide storage themselves is bunk, for the simple fact that it's costly to do for a limited number of people and the fact that people move, and for both cost and logistical efficiency, you need one or two large storage depositories...which is what CBAI is offering.
CBAI choice to also get into the stem cell research business is an added bonus especially since cord blood stems are proven to work and there is no controversy with the pro-life proponents, thus everyone is happy from a moral perspective.
This company, regardless of all the stock outstanding has unlimited upside by virtue of it being the #1 player now, thus making it an attractive investment to the mainstream investor and a real candidate for a buyout down the line.
Again, are you going to become a millionaire overnight with CBAI, probably not, but if you own anywhere from 100K to a million shares (which costs little to do), it wouldn't take much to make you very rich at even .25 a share.
