Don't miss this great opportunity!
The 3-D printing industry is revolutionizing manufacturing. It is still in its infancy, and much is not known about it such as who the big winners are going to be and the extent to which this process can be used. Nonetheless, this is the ground floor and you want to get in the elevator now, before it reaches the 50th floor. It would have been nice to get in at the basement, say a year ago or so, but it's definitely not too late. Here's a bunch of industry players and what their stocks have done in the last year.
I did a little research yesterday and bought ONVO. This company has virtually no competition. Whereas most 3-D printers are used to produce everyday products like small household items made of plastic, Organovo prints functional human tissue. They have had success producing liver tissue and have plans to print heart and kidney cells, and in the future, making usable human body parts. They have relationships with a couple pharma giants, Pfizer and Roche, so they are well-positioned to explode.
I bought yesterday at $7.33. I wish I had bought the day before at $6.65, but still, at this moment, it is $8.00, up 8.6% from yesterday's close. You don't have to buy ONVO, just buy something. Do your own research and get on the band wagon before another great opportunity passes you by.

Naked scanners may be dangerous
WASHINGTON — Some US scientists warned Friday that the full-body, graphic-image X-ray scanners now being used to screen passengers and airline crews at airports around the country may be unsafe.
"They say the risk is minimal, but statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays," Dr Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University school of medicine, told AFP.
"No exposure to X-ray is considered beneficial. We know X-rays are hazardous but we have a situation at the airports where people are so eager to fly that they will risk their lives in this manner," he said.
"We still don't know the beam intensity or other details of their classified system."
Story
Nice. The government creates a device they won't release the specs to, forces you to submit to a scan, examines your genitalia, and says "Trust us, it's safe".

There's just something about a woman who looks like she can punish you (and not in a good way), that is a real turn-off. Tell me what you think by clicking on "Comments" below.
(By the way, I wonder why somebody edited out the Kia she was holding on her shoulder.)
