Maybe they’re in intermission… lol….
Story starting here?
She moves so easy lol
Absolutely. Low floater could get locked quick. Today looks like loading
Ya, curious why all the volume today
Could turn into a straight rocket down the road with the right news/fluff imo
Sick SS here , getting some action today
Grabbed some too looks nice
I think it can, I think it can.
I wonder if this could come back for just a low float pump
Some news -
I spoke to Phillip J Keller, the interim CEO today - found his cell number online.
Steward Heatlhcare sued FCHS in February; "VIA Acquisition Corp" sued last December.
Phillip said (1) the company is still operating - Florida re-opened from covid-19 for elective medical procedures on Monday - and (2) there's a hearing on Thursday in Delaware Chancery court that precludes him from giving me an answer on when there would be a shareholder's meeting.
The only thing I can find through the Delaware Courts website are this case: https://courtconnect.courts.delaware.gov/public/ck_public_qry_doct.cp_dktrpt_frames?backto=P&case_id=2019-1024&begin_date=&end_date=
and this case: https://courtconnect.courts.delaware.gov/public/ck_public_qry_doct.cp_dktrpt_frames?backto=P&case_id=2020-0131&begin_date=&end_date=
Yes, that's what I meant. I would not take that bet, because I imagine that is highly likely. They just filed the notice of late filing for the 10-Q...waiting on the auditors...
10-K has to be filed before the 10-Q. I'll bet you $1 Romandetti was stealing money from the company, and the delay is for forensic accounting. Probably not anything major, but the nature of his departure probably had the auditors taking a second look over everything.
Either that or they're going to need to take a write-off on accounts receivable for bad debts. Seems like a few other companies in the industry have been having issues with that.
Either way, they need to let investors know what the hold up is. They said at the beginning of April the 10-K would be filed within 2 weeks...that was 6 weeks ago.
Any thoughts on when the 10Q will be filed? It's becoming worrisome
I'd almost guarantee Romandetti didn't know about any pending litigation when the Steward agreement was signed. The way I understood it was his house was basically raided the morning of his arrest...so he was probably as surprised as anyone.
Agree his remaining stake could be an issue if he decides to sell, but if current management can show operations are still on track, I think the market will easily absorb his shares. I'm wanting to buy more myself, but am waiting on the 10-K.
I agree, it can't really get much worse and trading around an EV/Revenue multiple of 0.1x it seems cheap. Yes, that is something that should be disclosed as stated in the stock purchase agreement with Steward Health, and he signed off on not knowing about any pending litigation...maybe he didn't know buy I highly doubt that.
One risk for the stock price in the short-term is will Romandetti sell his shares onto the market (21.5% ownership)? Not involved with the company anymore and surely racking up legal bills. Along with his friend Mark Burnett of Fuse Capital(5.4%) who was also named in the indictment.
Provided Romandetti's illegalities were limited to the pump and dump scheme, I don't see how Steward was screwed over. Was Chris going to disclose to them in 2018 something illegal he may have been involved in from 2014-2016? I highly doubt anyone would. Obviously, Steward is probably not thrilled about the current share price, but if there are no additional problems related to the operations/financials, the company is basically sitting the same as it was before Chris's arrest.
Issue here is if Chris was involved with something illegal like a pump and dump, there's the possibility he was also doing something illegal related to the actual business. And with the 10-K still not yet filed, that risk is obviously spooking investors.
Stock price is currently in the gutter, and it can't get much worse at this point, so the stock could see a nice rebound when/if the issues are resolved.
Dr. Thomas Gill resigned from the board of directors. I guess that tells us how Steward Healthcare feels about the situation. Romandetti clearly lied directly to their faces before Steward made the direct investment in FCHS, and I bet they want their money back. James Renna, who also represents Steward, is still on the board...for now. Get your popcorn ready this should be fun. Steward is backed by Cerberus Capital...$7.5 million is a drop in the bucket for them, but probably not someone you want to screw over. Very interesting at this valuation if the financials are up to par, which you think Steward/Cerberus would have confirmed.
Anyone have thoughts on this chain of PRs from lawyers talking about class actions?
I don't know a ton about this.
Sorry for not posting for a while
I am slammed at work
Every day the stock keeps looking better and better
10K report will make it very clear that this company is fundamentally the same as it was a few months ago before all the crap hit the fan with CR.
I expect to see a dollar again by end of March at the latest

Next should be a letter to shareholders by the end of the year, explaining in detail what is going on with the company moving forward
Then they should drop a PR or 2 in the first 2 weeks of 2019 after the tax loss selling is over
Just BTW, I have absolutely no idea if all of that is going to happen or not, I have never spoken with the company or its officers ever
Just think that the above is what they should do in order to maximize their return to the $1.00 level
Where they DESERVE to be, based upon their FUNDAMENTALS
Nothing else should matter, although I know there is a tremendous amount of emotion out there, especially anger and fear
Those emotions do not belong in the trading arena, IMO

First Choice Healthcare Solutions Appoints Phillip Keller as Interim CEO
The Independent Board of Directors Announce Additional Updates
MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: FCHS) ("First Choice" or the "Company"), a fully integrated, physician driven, publicly traded healthcare delivery platform providing a full life cycle of Orthopaedic and Spine care for patients through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, today announced a series of corporate actions:
-- Appointment of Phillip Keller as Interim CEO.
Keller has served as the Company CFO since July 2017 and has significant financial and operational experience and in Healthcare Services. His previous roles include CFO of RehabCare, SVP of Finance at Pharmerica and SVP at BioScrip.
-- Increased involvement from the Independent Board of Directors, whom were all appointed in 2018. Dr. Thomas Gill, James Renna, Sheila Schweitzer and Gary Augusta will work with Keller, the management team and the First Choice physicians and care providers to continue to drive the growth of the Company.
-- The Independent Board of Directors will nominate a Chief Medical Officer that will report directly to the Board.
-- Dr. Thomas Gill will be Chairman of a new Medical Advisory Board for the Company. The Medical Advisory Board will focus on furthering physician leadership, clinical integration and additional growth segments.

"Our relationship with Steward Healthcare remains strong and we continue to believe our strategic partnership will benefit the shareholders of First Choice. I look forward to the strategic involvement of the Company's Independent Board of Directors and advancing the financial and clinical outcomes of the company."
Do not believe the negative talk!
All that has happened is that the CEO has been removed.
Has anyone bothered to check out the incredible credentials of the Board of Directors?
Any one of THEM could immediately step in as CEO of this company
As far as fundamentals, the stock was trading at a dollar because it DESERVES to trade at a dollar or more
They have 24 cents of CASH on hand, over $7 million. Just using a basic 3x - 4x factor shows that it should be trading at a dollar on the CASH BASIS ALONE.
And that disregards all of the facitlities, equipment, and services that they are providing
Look at the chart, this "massive" run from a dollar to 3.40 (sarc), happened back in 2014, almost 5 YEARS AGO!
The release of yesterday's 8-K shows that the board is on top of this matter
As for the stock being revoked, under what pretext?
I can understand if this was a grey sheet or a non-reporting piece of junk. This is a fully reporting company listed on the OTCQX, and it always has been.
Watch for news early next week about the hiring of a new interim or perhaps even permanent CEO
Do not fall prey to the fear.
This company has not fundamentally changed one little bit
I am personally betting that this stock will be back to a dollar before the end of the year, and perhaps sooner
FCHS will continue on, regardless of where Romandetti winds up
The statement about the stock price and timing of a new CEO are IMHO
The statements about the fundamentals of the company are FACT
GD11
Due to the nature of the PR pump and dumps and the charging of the chairman/CEO of the company this ticker FCHS is on the verge of an SEC suspension and revocation. Investors had paid up to $3.50 per share here in the past and its now at 23 cents.
This ticker is doomed!
Appoint a new director. And the price for a few days will return to $ 1. It's a question of time. Look at the company's profits!
“Florida Today” released CEO arrest news story at 1:51 PM today.
They will get a new CEO and price will bounce back.
8-k release. Romandetti indicted.
Thanks Jock, had not seen. Last Q indicates they are back on track.

Chris Romandetti, President and CEO of First Choice, stated, “2017 was a transformative year for First Choice, having achieved several significant milestones in our business that have successfully laid the foundation for future growth. Most notable is our strategic partnership with Steward Health Care (“Steward") which provides us with a large geographic opportunity to rollout our unique delivery platform to Steward’s nationwide hospital network. Additionally, Steward’s $7.5 million investment in First Choice as part of this relationship demonstrates their confidence in our business model and commitment to our partnership going forward. Since the closing, we have been working closely on the integration of the FCHS platform into Steward’s network.”
Recent Operational Highlights
Closed strategic partnership with Steward, the largest private hospital operator in the United States, to expand the FCHS business model into Steward’s national footprint.
