The advent of stem cell biotechnology has put several diseases and ailments in the crosshairs... cancer, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and even brain injuries, just to name a few. There are no limits to what cell-based therapies could do, however, with the right ingenuity and know-how. That's how a small cap, off-the-radar company called BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (OTCBB:BRTX) may be about to make life much more difficult for bigger diabetes players like Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO).
To give credit where it's due, Novo Nordisk is the market leader in diabetes treatments for a reason. Between its Levemir, Prandin, and NovoLog, NVO sold $10.7 billion (78% of revenue) worth of diabetes treatments last year. It's been in the business for a long time, and has worked diligently to become the company for other players to dethrone.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jim Jubak]
But a bigger reason to sell, in my opinion, right now, is a change in the risk/reward profile of the market as a whole. The recent sell off in momentum stocks��hich now looks like it's spreading to consumer discretionary leaders��akes me want to raise cash for the inevitable bounce back in these stocks. I don't know when we might see that bounce��nd I'm not buying yet, since I think we're still in ��atch a falling knife��territory. But when stocks such as FireEye (FEYE), or Palo Alto Networks (PANW), or Incyte (INCY), or Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) do bounce, the gains will be bigger and quicker than those in holding Citigroup.
