Advanced Cell Technology Inc. (OTCBB: ACTC) shares subsided 0.9% Thursday to 16.45 cents, on volume of 1.73 million shares.

A news release put out by The Bedford Report on August 24 noted that more North American stem cell research firms have found success forming International partnerships to help boost funding.

According to Bernard Siegel, director of the non-profit Genetics Policy Institute, U.S. stem cell firms are looking to Asia more for partnerships. Siegel is quoted in the Bedford Report as citing two reasons, one having to do with the attractiveness of Asian countries as markets for stem cell treatments, the other with Asia’s lower regulatory hurdles when compared to the U.S.

Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Advanced Cell Technology focuses on the development and commercialization of human embryonic and adult stem cell technology in the field of regenerative medicine.

About Penny Stocks

The term "penny stocks," also known as micro-cap equities, micro caps, small caps, pink sheets, refers to shares in a company that trades for less than $5.00. Most penny stocks trade on the OTCBB market and the pink sheet electronic quotation service. Penny Stocks can be very volatile and can see gains as much as 500% in a day. Volatility in penny stocks is also dangerous because penny stocks can come down as quickly as they go up. If you trade penny stocks based on stock picks, make sure to always do your due diligence on the companies you're considering, use stop loss orders, and book your profits when you are in a position to do so.
