PURA has 570M shares OS. PAOG issuing 570M shares to PURA owners?
Sure, ok. Whatever lies help you sleep...
Triggered much? I bought 500k at $.02, just sold 100K to recoup ALL my investment and book almost ~2x profit, and am sitting on the remaining 400k up 10X and going higher.
You do nothing but b!tch and moan in every post, so why don't we let the readers decide who the moron is.
Now where's that "flipping the bird" emoji when you need it?
Lol, If you can't make money trading Micromem, you should get out of the stock market and buy yourself a nice mutual fund paying 2% annually.
ALYI schedules news release with an update on their latest news release hinting at possible upcoming news release where they will name drop a bunch of unrelated companies and make unfounded comparisons to their own so-called "business" which has failed to date to produced a working prototype of anything even remotely resembling a running electric motorcycle. I can make pretty pictures in photoshop too... maybe I should start a ScamCo PR factory with no real operations.
This year's spike will make last year's spike look like an ant hill.
MM is up 4x since October 2020 and has picked up steam in the past week moving up 60% on no news. I bought a boatload at 2 cents and am enjoying the ride while whatever is going on behind closed doors plays out. Chevron finally moving? Romgaz deal finalized? Repsol? A new O&G client we haven't heard of yet? Exciting times.
That must have been a costly typo!
Someone meant to enter a Buy at 6 cents on 200k shares but entered 60 cents instead maybe? Ouch!
Just speculation, but wow, what a mistake to make if true.
Need to set my sell price higher!
You think a month's delay is a big deal? I hope you never invest in pharmaceutical companies. Nice pop today. What's your babble to explain that away?
Romgaz deal should be announced soon. Maybe this week!
"We anticipate that initial purchase orders will be received from Romgaz before October 31, 2020 and that the initial interactions and planning with the Romgaz team will take place within that timeframe."
September MD&A p. 12
It's not "viewable for a year" because they almost certainly filed a provisional application which will not be published or acted on by the USPTO until they follow up with a standard non-provisional application. This must be done within one year after the filing of the provisional or they lose the priority date. That's where that "one-year" timeline came from he gave you.
Basically, a provisional application is a patent "placeholder" to establish a priority date against other inventors for the same subject matter. Now they have to file the "real" patent application, which they may or may not do. The filed a provisional application and plan to follow up with the non-provisional in a year, which will then be published and viewable.
Even if they do file the non-provisional, it is only then that all the regular patent prosecution timelines kick in and so it will be 2-3 years after filing the non-provisional before allowance, assuming it is granted.
My educated opinion, speculation, and guesstimate only. Not investing advice.
1. USPTO patent process takes 2-3 years.
2. FDA approval only comes AFTER human trials which they haven't even started.
3. They haven't started because they haven't applied for FDA approval to begin them.
4. They haven't applied because they haven't even selected the protease inhibitor they're going to use in human trials yet.
5. It's possible none of the four substances their computer algorithm generated will even work like they hope, so it's also possible they will never apply to FDA to start human trials at all.
So, basically... keep waiting.
Lol, $20? How about it stays over 5 measly cents first?
Revolt Motors (India) and ALYI's ReVolt electric motorcycle are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS. Company name vs Product name.
Hope y'all sold the top!
Bought $.02, Sold 1/2 at $.07...
Looking for more in the $.03 area while the company's years-long deal cycle continues to press slowly forward.
Don't be afraid to trade a little while we wait!
Good luck.
RVRA turning focus to midstream operations in 2020?
With the 12/20 announcement of selling the Personville, East Texas upstream asset, Riviera's disposition of non-core assets is nearly complete.
They have now sold off all upstream properties except for the Anadarko Basin / NW Stack play in Oklahoma and the Ruston Field leasehold in northern Louisiana. The Anadarko play is situated in the same geographic location as Blue Mountain Midstream's operations, just a few miles northwest of their natural gas system in Canadian and Grady counties.
Riviera is in the process of completing an expansion of their crude oil gathering pipeline (the North/South Mainline) expected to be finished in H1 2020. They recently acquired Lumen Midstream, adding 50 miles of LNG pipeline and also started offering water gathering, transport and disposal services, further extending the reach of their midstream operations.
While Riviera appears to be turning much of its focus toward midstream operations, they have also continued to develop their core upstream assets, having drilled two new wells at Ruston Field and six new wells at Anadarko as of Nov. 2019. Given the push toward consolidating their operations in the Merge/Stack area of Oklahoma, don't be the least surprised if Riviera announces the sale of the N. Louisiana properties soon.
A bullet point on p.8 of the Q3 presentation about "misunderstood acreage" also hints at the possibility in 2020 of additional upstream M&A activity in the Anadarko Basin. The Merge/Stack play has disappointed lofty expectations that it would become another Permian Basin. With its inconsistent geology and multiple rock types muddling the hydrocarbons mix, many producers in the region are merging or selling their operations outright. Riviera seems to be making a stand in the area with its Anadarko basin upstream properties and given the company's strong cash position, will no doubt be looking to snap up struggling producers if the price is right.
Romgaz and Chevron were not simply "named" in the NR.
Romgaz provided written questions with MM and Chevron answering them. Most of these responses were directly provided by Chevron and are the strongest validation of the Aroma tracer technology to date.
Ex-Div tomorrow 12/13. Should open at ~$7.50...
and start trending back up from there.
Special Dividend Rules in Effect for This Distribution!
Don't sell your shares before the Ex-Div date or you also sell your right to receive the $4.25/share distribution.
Riviera Paying Special Dividend: $4.25 in December 2019
PP at $.60, is that any indication we might start trading near that amount when it closes?
100% certainty this guy is "tmccar" on Stockhouse posting this same garbage. Beer bottles worth $.07? Maybe but do you have as many beer bottle as I have shares of MMTIF? If so you probably have alcohol poisoning which explains your deficient mental state.
PS, I have no idea why InvestorHub is emphasizing the word "shares" in my post.
Yep, Memex has been quietly executing for the past couple quarters. Looking for a breakout on next financials in August.
Imminent Q2 catalysts:
Completed data from Phase 2a trial of RX-3117 as 3rd line treatment of metastatic bladder cancer patients
Interim clinical data from Phase 2a trial of RX-5902 in triple negative breast cancer patients
Without big news, the downtrend that started Jan 2017 will bottom out under $.10 by March.
Taking the $5000 gamble, eh?
Not quite. More like CEO and CFO were forced to walk the plank as Blott cleans house for Vertex.
What happened to FDA trials, huh? Nothing in MDA. Silence.
NO FDA TRIALS?!
Strata-X seems to be right on schedule.
http://www.strata-x.com/presentations/Strata-X-Illinois_Nov-2014-reduced.pdf
Strata-X should hook up with RDX Technologies (RGDEF) to treat/recycle their frack wastewater.
http://www.oaoa.com/news/article_fda8edc2-b3ab-11e3-bb96-001a4bcf6878.html?mode=jqm
What will the New Year bring for Strata-X? Good results from Illinois I hope.
The Reality Breakdown...
The disappointing settlement seems to be approximately $3 Million dollars and the obvious question is, "Why so low? Didn't Microsoft use the 744 technology to make billions of dollars in sales of .Net and Sharepoint?" Well, we think so. The extent of Microsoft's use of the 744 technology is speculative since we do not have the luxury of access to such information. Presumably Niro, et al, did, so I for one, have to wonder if this accounts for the small amount of the settlement? Possibly. Again, it's speculation.
Some do not think the settlement amount reported in VCSY's 3Q08 report is the whole story. They point to such circumstantial evidence as the "confidentiality" of the settlement terms (If the whole settlement is only $3 Million, why would they make it confidential?), the fact that Microsoft settled the day before the Markman hearing (coincidence or was MSFT's/VCSY's back against the wall?) and the fact that the amount just seems too small when compared to the presumed financial benefit Microsoft realized all these years by their alleged infringement of 744.
Many think that royalties on future sales of the Microsoft products utilizing the 744 technology are part of the settlement agreement and such royalties will become a continuing source of revenue for Vertical. Add this thinking to the presumed additional licenses from other alleged infringers (Adobe, IBM, Google, etc.), whose forthcoming licenses are also presumed to include a "future royalties" provision, and the picture looks somewhat rosey again...
The problem is, all of the above is pure speculation! You know, just like the speculation of a settlement worth multi-hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars? What's worse, the current bout of conjecture seems to be thumbing its nose in the face of hard facts to the contrary. The 10Q plainly states in Note 5, Legal Proceedings:
"In July 2008, the Company settled its patent infringement claim against Microsoft Corporation and received the agreed upon settlement proceeds in August 2008. The settlement amount was recorded in licensing and maintenance revenues, while the contingent attorney fees were recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses... Pursuant to the confidential settlement agreement, the Company granted to Microsoft a non-exclusive, fully paid-up license under the patent which was the subject of the legal proceeding."
To paraphrase the above, it says, "We settled the 744 infringement claim against Microsoft and were paid the full agreed settlement amount by them. In return, we licensed 744 to Microsoft on a non-exclusive basis and in perpetuity for the life of the patent."
Obviously, my paraphrase makes some interpretations of the above-quoted language, primarily my conclusion that the amount paid to VCSY and reflected in the 10Q represents the full settlement amount, with no further monies coming from Microsoft for 744. I have already posted several messages on Raging Bull (with references) as to why I think this is the case. "Fully paid-up" implies a one-time lump-sum payment or possibly an installment plan paid periodically, but only up to the full lump-sum amount (possibly with interest).
It is my belief that if there were ongoing (so-called "running") royalties coming from Microsoft with respect to 744, Vertical would not have used the phrase "fully paid-up" to describe the license. They would also not have plainly stated that the settlement amount (the presumption is the "full" amount) had been received. Further, I believe Vertical would have made mention of the fact that the amount received was only a partial payment or would have specified that the amount received was only the settlement for past infringement (as some on here suggest) and that there are other arrangements for Microsoft's future use of 744. Disclosing such information would NOT have been a disclosure of the terms of the confidential agreement.
Someone else made the argument that the 10Q only covers events that occurred during the quarter and wouldn't contain information about future events. I disagree. Just above the statement about the Microsoft settlement, the 10Q contains information about the ongoing Ross litigation, including statements of future events (Ross' appeal hearing in January 2009). The reason for this is because VCSY wants it to be known when this matter is to be settled since they anticipate a decision in their favor and such information is attractive to current and potential investors.
The same logic applies to statements about the alleged ongoing nature of licensing royalties from Microsoft. If the payment received was only a partial one or if there was an agreement for running royalties in the settlement, I believe that Vertical could have stated this in the 10Q without breaching the confidentiality agreement Simply saying that the company expects further payments from Microsoft discloses no specific confidential terms and would be looked on favorably by current and potential investors, just like the information about Ross' appeal.
The bottom line is this: Either I'm wrong or I'm not.
If I'm wrong it means that there are potentially ongoing licensing royalties to be paid by Microsoft concerning 744... how much and for how long is anybody's guess.
If I'm right, then there are no such royalties forthcoming and what we got was all we get. Again, I'm only talking about 744 here. I firmly believe that Microsoft might also license 521 from Vertical as well, although if it happens I believe this will also be a one-time lump-sum payment for a fully paid-up perpetual license. I hold this same position with respect to any of the alleged infringers that enter into any future licensing agreements with Vertical for either 744 or 521. This protocol is the standard in the industry when companies license their patents and I'm not going to let rampant speculation and heartfelt desire or desperation get in the way of understanding the situation for what it is.
It was this very kind of rampant un-checked euphoria and speculation and that led to the crushing disappointment of November 14, when many of the Raging Bull posters' mega-millions hopes and dreams of early retirement were extinguished by a sobering splash of cold reality. Seems like the contrarian KantUC (Mirror) was the only one over there that made any money on this dog when he sold at 10-11 cents. Good for him.
But now, the RB legacy longs are dutifully back at it, pumping away and nervously polishing their rose-colored glasses while hoping that we'll believe them when they say, "Everything is fine! (Ahem.) In fact, things are better than ever! (cough, cough) Once these naked shorts finish collecting your (oops, their) millions, we'll be right back on track."
Yeah, ok. Lead on blind man.
I was admittedly among the unwashed non-techie masses that put faith in Portuno's 10-page, novella-like rants about how groundbreaking, disruptive, game-changing, and totally awesome (dude) blah, blah, buzzwords, VCSY's tech is/was. Now, I don't know what to think about it. Maybe it's not so super-cool after all. But then again maybe it is and there really is more to this whole thing than is exposed by the recent 10Q.
I'm 51% convinced that the whole thing is bullshyt and 49% convinced that it's worthy of all Portuno's buzzword-laced hype. Please do remember that all the hype and praise of VCSY's "game-changing" technology comes from Raging Bull's own absentee tech-guru, Portuno (who posts via the user Dabbler). For all his flowery rhetoric, why are there no others out there in techie-land singing the praises of VCSY and 744/521? Are we to believe that ONLY Portuno understand it and can see this vast new online world established on Vertical's technology? Anyone? I'd like to hear just one disinterested, non-invested, objective person say that VCSY is "the shyt" and will someday rule the world. Why do I expect that that won't happen?
Unfortunately, as upset as I am at the 10Q, I simply can't get out where the PPS is now. So, I'm just as stuck here as the rest of you, hoping like hell that I overlooked something in my research about patent licenses and that there is a brighter future for VCSY. I agree that the next 10Q will provide more conclusive information about the true nature of the settlement and I hope to hear about additional licensing agreements or other beneficial news in the meantime.
Good luck to us all.
When shorts "cover" they are BUYING shares...
So, what you're saying is that when the shorts stop buying back the shares they previously sold at a higher price, the stock will go up? That does not compute, Will Robinson.
When they finish covering their shorts, (assuming that shorters are doing the bulk of the buying now) the buying will stop, will it not?
When the shorts stop buying the price will drop, not "rebound."
He means "bought at .014 and sold at .039"
I would imagine.

ALLWAYSRIGHT- Just out of curiosity...
...from what set of facts do the assault charges originate?
It's more prudent to wait...
on posting such information until after the 10 day suspension and ensuing investigation are concluded.
"Gang" = concerned shareholders doing DD.
The problem with your use of the term "gang" connotes that the party or parties that complained to the SEC was a group of bashers.
In reality, this may or not be the case.
It is altogether possible that it was simply an investor who had done the DD, made the calls and simply determined that Hat Trick had lied.
Unless and until you have proof that it was one or more "bashers" you would be wise to withhold such speculative accusations.
Maybe you should re-trace the discussion around the time people were talking about making calls to Hi-Health. I remember several people having posted that they made calls and not all of them were members of your so-called "gang."
