Illumina; Level 3 Communications; StemCells

Today (02012.10.16) was a frustrating day because the NASDAQ was up 1.21%, yet many of the GDT::Portfolio stocks didn't go up.

Illumina (ILMN) managed close up a few pennies after getting hit hard yesterday (02012.10.15). Yesterday, ILMN closed down 6% on volume that was 4.5x t3m avg.

Level 3 Communication (LVLT) closed at $22.82, up 5.6% for the day. Volume was average.

StemCells (STEM) closed at $2.40 today (02012.10.16), up 6.7%. The company "announced the launch of four new SC Proven human neural stem cell (NSC) kits for use in neuroscience research." I agree with this SeekingAlpha.com headline: "Nobel Prize Validates Recent Stem Cell Headlines". The GDT::Portfolio needs Aastrom Biosciences (ASTM) to stop falling.
