The carnage in the stockmarkets has dragged some great small companies down with it. Benitec is a truly innovative company at the cutting edge in the biotech sector. We have already done very well with this stock. But for those of you that missed the first time around, this is a great opportunity to buy the stock at a bargain price. Check out our initial report dated 28th October 2006, for all the details. Below is an update printed in the Australian from 9th January 2008. This is an exciting development for Benitec and if the stock markets had not corrected this month, I think we would have seen this stock move much higher!
