Our firm, Mentor Capital (MNTR) has taken its first and a very large position in Quantum Immunologics, which is still private. We track Quantum's value because of our buy. Quantum does Dendritic Immunotherapy for breast cancer with the OFA protein found on 500 cancers. This is just like Dendreon for Prostate cancer with the PAP protein, except 2 to 10 times as large an opportunity. We invested because we feelo it is the next great breakthrough you were referring to. Best in good health -- CB/MNTR Mike — Love your reports.
