There is a pretty active discussion of AUPH on StockTwits.
I am inclined to agree with some of the posters there who think we will soon see Tang lead a "private equity take under" at a relatively low price. THis seems to have been his MO in the past.
If that happens I will be disappointed to get a far lower price than we had hoped for over the last several years, but I will also feel relief to get some closure and move on.
The fact that they released OUTSIDE directors suggests they are not overly concerned about corporate governance issues over the long term, which further suggests a resolution in the (relative) short term.
Why PG stays on the board I don't know. If there are negotiations in flight, I can see the board saying "we need to keep PG as CEO and point person in those negotiations", but he doesn't need to be on the board for that. Now that I think of it, I imagine PG told the rest of the board "if you accept my resignation I will walk away and you will need to start over on making a deal" (out of vanity and to keep "was voted off the BoD off of his resume) and the board caved.
Certainly, the fact that PG was retained suggests a deal in the near term is the most likely end game, though probably not at the premium we would have liked.
I don't think these guys could verify the profile of George Washington from 30 feet in front of Mount Rushmore...
yeah - frustrating. Even worse is that all the voters would have loved to vote him out as CEO as well.
8K out AH indicating that while 3 directors' resignations were accepted (and therefore they are gone), PG's resignation from the BoD was not accepted due to "exceptional circumstances (so PG stays on the BoD). Kevin Tang of Tang Investments now on BoD. Separately, Tang Capital filed a 13D indicating they own 5.1% of AUPH.
What do you make of all this?

The price they got and the fact that insiders took a majority of the shares are both big positives on this financing.
True, I do have a lot of boards on my watch list. At least 75% of them are on tiny little stocks I own or have owned in the past that do nothing and for which there is little to no posting volume. I continue to follow these boards simply because a post might indicate a sign of life. Collectively, those boards don't take much time or effort and don't divert my attention from stocks that can benefit from it.
I have followed the LWLG board for over 10 years. It is now pretty much unreadable due to the repetitive posts from both sides.
I am long LWLG - even at today's low prices it is by far my largest position. I have held it for a long time and I still believe the potential is enormous.
However, in the absence of a TIER ONE PLAYER PUBLICLY TYING THEIR FUTURE TO LWLG I think the stock price will continue to languish.
I wish I was in COHR today, but in fact I am simply incoherent...:)
Your math is wrong. You claim to be calculating a "P/E" when in fact you are substituting (prospective) REVENUES for earnings.
That would only be a valid substitution if VDRM had no costs whatsoever, which is clearly not the case.
Your analysis would make more sense if you used a price/sales ratio (which certainly would be far lower than a P/E).
I own a lot of VDRM and hope we get a spike, but your analysis is flawed and misleading.
I tried to do the same but Schwab reversed the trade :(
Yep. I know that 5000 shares doesn't mean squat.
The form 4 makes it very clear that he got $5.72 because he was exercising an option, which would not have expired until 2032.
Since we have not seen a Form 4 indicating he sold shares, we can conclude that this was NOT a "cashless exercise" where the shares were sold immediately.
With that put aside, the ONLY reason one would exercise an in-the-money call option before expiry is to start the clock ticking on long term capital gains. My guess is that he needed to wait until after second quarter results were made public (8/7/24) to have a window in which he was free to exercise.
C'mon - I was not manipulating. I was exaggerating.
Anything over a billion is a lot - even for a stock at .001. There are PLENTY of .001 stocks that don't need to use the "B word" in their share count.
Bottom line is that many investors see an OS of 1,473,221,854 as way too many, and as a red flag that warns "you better really like this one as there are lots of other choices in the same price range with better share structures".
All of that said, I did take a flier with a half million shares yesterday :)
I think that the Chinese toxic waste has leaked onto the share price...
It's a trippy stock with a gazillion shares out. Either one is enough to keep a lot of people away.
The drop today is almost certainly due to the warrants being called. This is not unexpected, as ASTS had met the call criteria for several days.
Not getting, but previously received. They RSUs that vested necessarily were issued at some point in the past, and the vesting occurred when a certain amount of time had passed or a certain price had been reached.
Someone answered when I called Synergy earlier this week. I don’t know if it was Ben or not. I had called about the big move and BCM, which person I had talked to had not noticed the website no longer had a page with all of the prior comments about the Synergy stocks on it, but there was the ability to sign up for email alerts, I signed up, but I don’t
I assume you meant to write "NO toxic debt"?
Schwab voided the sale I made at .56, indicating that the marker maker (Cannacord) had "discovered fraud" in the stock's movement.
Wish I got a do-over when I made a mistake in the market.
thank you
good job!
True, we are getting paid for out patience, but our patience did not cause the move today or the big buys (at least 2 separate buys of $50k or more).
Someone with big money knows something that makes it worth their while to move a stock 700%.
Got a link to that Q? Does not show up for me on Schwab. TIA
Hell yeah!
Still would like to know what is driving the move!
What the heck is going on with BDCM today? Up over 1000% at .56, volume 300K vs. 41K average?
I am looking - BDCM up almost 900% today - I don't see anything.
They are just keeping their seat at the blackjack table while they go take a leak...
There's no "picking" involved - it is simply a function of market cap.
I’m not excited. Just not enthused if you really want us to check out a particular link on YouTube, post that damn link here.
please provide a link if you want us to get excited
SAVA and OPTT keep getting my name in these posts. Unfortunately, they also often qualify for "biggest down day" on one of the following days. Live by the sword, die by the sword...
That said, imho both have great upside still ahead.
I think iHub should put far more stringent limits on posts - no more than 3 per day per person on a given board and no more than 50 per calendar month per person on a given board.
There are too many boards (LWLG and DBMM come to mind) where a few people post endlessly all day - usually extreme pumpers or bashers. These posts, and the replies to them, clog up those boards to the point of making them unreadable.
The entire platform would need to have a more "real time" feel to it like StockTwits does.
I like that idea. Too often posts are consumed with emojis, and when I want to post a single one of choice iHub often does not render it correctly, presenting garbage instead. Get rid of 'em.
I like that idea, at least for boards devoted to a single specific stock. Too often moderators really are not neutral or moderate but have a strong agenda - often they are among the most egregious pumpers and bashers.
If iHub is going to provide such a bully pulpit the mods should pay for the privilege.
SAVA alternates between being the best performing stock and the worst performing stock.
Today, life is good.
I think they might be more worried that AUPH would finally announce management changes...
Everyone knows there aren't any earnings to speak of.

OPTT is bouncing all around. On many days it would qualify for the biggest DROP for a top pick. They did announce pretty good earnings yesterday after the close and cc this morning was positive.
