Stem cell outfits a winner in upcoming election

"Any candidate is going to have a better policy on stem cells than our current president," Ren Benjamin, biotech analyst for Rodman & Renshaw, tells CNNMoney. "If that's the case, then it will be good news not only for the companies working in the space, but for the space in general."
