NITE still gone - just need some buying now.
It has - NITE looks to be gone - at least for now - a little buying and we can be back to .10+ in a heartbeat.
Volume has dried up like the conversation on this board.
NITE knocked off the ask and gone - 1st time that has happened and now more ask hits - could this finally be ready!
Did you speak with him? I am confident in my DD and the fact the fund paid .16 as well, but this is getting ridiculous! Now under 0.06!!
If you don't have time, I am happy to contact him.
Thanks
Nope, I got sidetracked with the pesky day job and some other little companies that I have much larger positions in and am helping out in various ways. The CEO is still on my phone call list.
Did you ever get in touch with the CEO?
Yes, about $10,000 worth of stock. I am getting weary of these price levels (as someone else did, obviously), but remain confident that this company is well situated for success this year. I just keep reminding myself that two funds that know the company inside out just paid .164 for their stock.
Someone or people eating up all these sells by NITE - would be nice to start to move back up here soon.
lol - I always do
You spoke too soon - now .075 x .085. It's encouraging to see some little bits of volume but I guess we still have some old stockholders just discovering that there's a market for their shares now. I'm still expecting multiples of the current price by the end of the year as the story develops.
.085 x .0948 - looking better
NITE to .0948 ask
Yes, some good buying. I was trying to buy some more in the .07's but never got filled and ended up putting the dough on IMSC instead.
Yep and as long as it is not you, me, KSuave or Satellite, it is a good thing!
Been accumulating all along and my cost basis is primed for 2010.
Happy New Year!
Some decent buys at the ask
Okay, who's the wise guy offering to pay .08 for shares? What are you trying to do . . . drive the price up?
Happy new years to all here.
Agree - 2010 will be very good here!
$200 worth of stock at the bid is barely a flesh wound! We will see DGEN get discovered by a lot more investors next year.
Best to all for the New Year.
Looking forward to 2010 and more positive news/numbers. Watching this slow bleed is getting old.
Happy New Year!
Ok...who wants to fess up to that 800 share buy @ .09??
A market maker or brokerage firm balancing its ledger or journaling shares from one account to another.
Cool. Gotta wonder who did a $7.00 trade?!?!?!?
Not today. maybe after the first I will look to add more.
Ksuave - is that you with the fill of 100 @ .07??
Okay, now I'm filled and at a lower price than I had offered. My position is growing, would like to see the price follow.
Yes, they gave me another crummy 200 share partial fill. They're just fuggin with me. Well, they have the rest of the day to consider the rest of my bid (which is more than .07 but doesn't show up because it's less than 5000 shares).
200 shares @ 0.07???? Barely covers the commission!!
Whoever sold those 200 shares for .08 (to me) -- that isn't funny!
bid/ask ut - .075 x .0948
Accumulating in the face of tax selling is nice work if you can get it.
Assuming you have the courage of your convictions, of course....
Agreed. Those guys aren't in it for a quick flip. They will pay a premium in a PP to avoid causing a market spike that makes their prospective purchase even more expensive.
Concur with sattelite - the 2 funds did plenty of DD before buying their shares at .164 and giving the company over $1.5 million. If they are that confident then I am as well.
Agreed re: tax selling, since there were a bunch of people who paid .10-.14.
I bought 40,000 more today at .07 and was glad to get them.
Fair point and very Buffett-esque, I might add. Part of this is borne of frustration of watching this slowly ebb away into the pennies. I am holding, but would like to see some numbers above .10 for once! Will likely have to wait til Jan at this point. Some of this selling may also be for tax purposes.
On the contrary, I can guarantee that the funds that just bought have no concerns whatsoever about the short-term stock price. They're not trying to sell here, so it makes no difference to them, and they have done their own due diligence on what the true value of the company is.
If anything, funds that just decided that .164 is an appropriate price, or their affiliates, are likely buyers in the open market.
Walker - based upon your discussions with the CEO, when you you expect something positive to come out? We need it BAAAADDDDD.
I gotta imagine this fund that bought in at .16 has gotta be a little concerned now.
TIA
They will - once they can't get them on the bid there will be no other option and from the looks of it the selling is done or majorly drying up.
I wish whoever was trying to bid jump in the low .07s would just hit the ask and get whatever shares he wants there.
Finally a white candle with that close of .09, but question is are we finally ready to start moving up. I'd like to see another couple green days in a row here.
Company received - $1,523,041 from 2 funds who purchased shares at .164 - stock is at .08 now and they have close to $6 mil. cash on hand.
Form D out:
http://xml.10kwizard.com/filing_raw.php?repo=tenk&ipage=6663511
Shares issued in exchange for the shares of Benten BioServices, Inc. in a merger transaction
Nice - merger/acquisition is done.
No worries here for me.
I wouldn't mind getting more at .07-.08 but need a couple of other stocks to get where they're going first, so I can free up some cash. DGEN still looks like an easy multibagger from here.
Mine are mostly .10 and .11 as well - got a few .08's - super cheap here, won't last forever. 2010 will be a big year here imo.
I'll probably throw in some kind of lowball order going into year-end on DGEN. "Tis the season when sometimes they get a bite.
Only because I forged the path before you. We should avg our shares out, don't you think? (Just kidding)
Nice job guys. This thing is incredibly cheap but I have way too much that I mostly bought at .10-.11 (and some at .0801 that I was really proud of at the time).
I got 10K at .07

Deltagen is a leading provider of drug discovery tools and services to the biopharmaceutical industry. Deltagen offers a suite of programs designed to enhance the efficiency of drug discovery including access to biological models as well as both small-molecule and secreted protein drug targets. In addition, Deltagen offers extensive target validation data in the areas of immunology and metabolic diseases. Deltagen's products and programs have been validated by customers and partners such as Eli Lilly & Co., GlaxoSmithKline, Merck & Co., Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer.
Deltagen’s unique systems biology approach is designed to help clear the first and major hurdle of drug target discovery: lead validation. Our high-throughput in vivo mammalian knockout technology enables us to identify and validate the utility of genomic targets within a living model at an extraordinary scale and speed. Using our proprietary tools, we believe we can uncover clinically relevant drug targets more efficiently and earlier in the discovery process.
The scientists in our Target Discovery Program have developed methods to discover the gene function of novel drug targets and to understand disease pathways as we strive to accelerate the development of meaningful, commercially promising small-molecule and secreted-protein therapies. Our proprietary technology platforms serve the drug discovery efforts of our pharmaceutical partners and customers.
