Interesting press 9/15/17 for the case of Robotic Urology with a Titan mention. Specifically like where it said that the future is hampered by the cost of current systems...

I am guessing that BLOZF and BTHCF are merging and Guy is not needed anymore. The Canadian's are sending officers to be trained in Florida for proficiency in a tool to test marji/intoxication. It could be that Blozf is further along and Bthcf is going to add more value to the testing capabilities. Odd raise in volume and PPS prior to this announcement... Could go either way IMO. I bought more the last two days betting on good news.
At an equal market cap that TRXC has, we should be sitting at approx .80 PPS. Their average volume on NASDAQ is trading over 10 times as much daily. YES and for a piece of crap.... NO FDA approved device, and a total of 2 sales in Europe. If we get through next year and submit to FDA, I can't imagine that we won't be trading double or triple that. In fact they were trading 400% that before failing FDA on surgibot. That puts us at a PPS of 3-4 if we can get off this crap exchange and fund this for another year. EVERYONE would break even or win something if this time next year we were approaching 3-4... TWO things to ask for. Funding for a year and move to NASDAQ this next 12 months. If we do that we are golden with warrants and we will see this sky rocket another 100% over the following 12 months and FDA approval. Buy out of 6-10 PPS or if enough warrants in play, partnering up and going for broke. Still thinking that at .125 now and looking at the risk reward, it is worth holding if not adding more to average down...GO TITAN! Sorry... couldn't help myself for old time sake!
Divorced and with 678k. Lol. I need to pick up 22k more to keep up! Hoping to get a bounce on a couple of other stocks so I can sell and get more Titan at these prices. But being patient and watching daily for the right moment.

HOW exactly are these guys raising so much money and we can only get 5-6 million?? Not feeling to good about the team's ability to move this Titan... Or is it better to advance piece by piece for some unknown reason in longtai land? The competition is doing nothing but heating up and it is time to shit or get off the pot here!!
I am getting truly baffled by the "strategy" here. So much potential. So many capable people. So much demand for the product. If I won the powerball, I would seriously fund this baby... WHY are we having trouble funding? Why the confidence in management wearing fat cat smiles? This puzzle does not seem to be all about pieces fitting seamlessly together. Don't know whether to buy more or sell it all at this point. Logic has left the building....
Love your analogy! Spot on. There can be some real reasons that a company sits on the side lines until a certain point to "officially enter" There could be buying of common stock or buying at the offerings. Setting up family members well before "officially" being involved. If you look at the math, it is actually possible to help pay for most the purchase of Titan by not buying now. No official commitment needed. The purchase doesn't affect their stock perception and thus price with a product that might be viewed as financially draining and a couple of years out on the major trading indexes.
A company that is 10% ownership puts them at say 30 million shares and another 30 million of warrants. If the Titan is sold at a a huge price, they automatically get a 20% discount without all the under table dealings. Not including "family" options....
The PPS of a purchasing company is much more favorable to their investors if they purchase a product that is viewed as ready to go. So a 20% discount plus possibly saving a 10% loss in value. If written well, I imagine the conversion of stock to a parent/purchasing company would also save another huge % in taxes on any huge gains. Not to mention the deduction of a larger purchase!
Thoughts to ponder....
With Owlstone progressing across the pond and using FAIMS, what are we competing with? There is so much potential here but who owns the patents for FAIMS? What proprietary use does BTHCF have?
This news today is really really big news. It is a sign of complete advancement of the SPORT system with validation of its usability before it is officially validated! With this news the only reason anyone would sell would be to hurt the company purposely. It is in my opinion that management needs to seek out legal parameters to define who is trying to hurt the company. It is not a market maker, it is someone purposely trying to hurt the advancement of this company. I personally believe and have for a long time that it is intuitive surgical. They have big interest to throw a relatively low amount of money to keep things down here and to keep funding from happening for Titan. However this could be a huge lawsuit if discovered, for restriction of practice/trade rights. I'm sure hard to prove. But if found out titan could have all the money it needs to complete this project. And they would be laughing to the bank. Intuitive stock would be instantly shorted and people would leave us alone in fear of another lawsuit. All things are possible and it is scary knowing that big companies can inhibit growth in a competitive marketplace. I truly think research needs to be going on and the threat should be imposed. It just cannot be anymore obvious that there is purpose to people selling after such great news. The fact that they are manipulating as much as possible tells everyone how scared they are of a real product coming out. That is something that can be a Silverlining and we can all take as a good sign that Titan has something worth being scared of. SPORT is actually going to be in a hospital doing studies. Awesome.
YES!!!!!!!!!
How does it end up non-dilutive? I am talking give us long term investors (losers) an option to make more in the future. Dilute with us. Earn money for the company with us. Throw US a thank you for being loyal and getting us here with a completed SPORT
Why can't mgt offer long term investors a gift that would help the company. For every 10 shares owned have the option to buy at .... pps for the next 18 months. We could all be raising money for the company instead of traiding with mms. I would like to know that my purchase of any future shares would go to benefit my investment as apposed to a gamble play. Is this possible? I've been "gifted" shares before based on current ownership. Sounds like they need to get creative here.
Just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round... I currently bought back more at these prices and have more shares than ever... however still at a huge loss. No big info is frustrating to me. I thought we would be getting the pressed timeline accomplishments. I am trying to be patient here and just have a hard time imagining our MC being any lower, so hoping my patience rewards me. NO bad news, but NO good news... I always find that my NEED for info and WANT for a PPS to change is what drives me to sell a stock right before a big rise.
That question has been answered many times over.... By McNally and by surgeons who have had their hands on it (the unfinished SPORT of course). Where have you been?? What he needs to be telling us is last quarter milestone news. He needs to be putting out an official statement that the 3 centers are chosen and where they are and what they will be doing. He needs to be saying that a usable prototype is done to accomplish the studies and only minor (FDA allowable) tweaks will be made if needed based on those studies. HE NEEDS TO GET THIS OUT NOW. No more passive, let this board dig and find info. Their needs to be information from the top about how this investment is moving forward. I just plucked down another 100K today at .108... I can not imagine that this isn't the bottom if they do these things! However, like many, I have thought that before.
I wondered the same thing. They should have made it 2 years max...
It really make you think that there might be a partnership at play that just wants to see the 2017 timeline accomplishments met. Initial studies complete showing effectiveness at 3 major institutions. At the end of the year and if all is good, a new investor might be willing to take us all the way. In the mean time, no need to dilute further and waste unneeded monies/shares. Imagine if that happens. Bought more shares today at .103. Crazy... Have more now than I ever did
Also it was a review of future in robotics... of course he is going to talk about all likely future platforms. It does not mean that they are the same or in bed with each other. If I were doing a review on the future of computers, I would present things from apple and hp and microsoft... it doesn't mean that there is a large merger about to happen. I LIKE VERY MUCH that he discussed Titan, however this does nothing to convince me of collusion.
I want this all to be true. I added last week with 94K at .113. But.... I just don't think these tweets and pics are anything conclusive at all. Until VP is ON THE WEB SITE and we know the relationship of those slides, this could be just a ton of different info in a short period of time talking about many different platform potentials... I just am adding my 2 cents... It is hard for me to be convinced here although I am very hopeful and think adding is a good idea to match the dilution levels we are experiencing. GLTA
OK.... We need some news here or this thing is going to drift down to sub penny... Is management watching? This has unreal potential and to think they will just let it go is kind of ticking me off
I have yet to understand this investment. Post disastrous news and bad press, and I thought it would free fall. It was up 5-10%. Today, with great PR on patents and solid advise from posi, we are down huge!!! NOT THE FIRST TIME. How does one intelligently invest in this stock!? Today, the press makes it sound like... no problem... this IS LEGIT tech. Protected. Exposed to billion dollar companies. We are on our way! I want to buy more at these prices, but you have got to be kidding me! It's like Vegas and the suites start circling around you because you might have a plan... DENIED... Crazy indeed
It's not just investment advise on this board. This has been a central place of good information. Many posters here do a great job at digging up info that MATTERS. The overall vibe of the board can not help but influence atleast a little, the internal go ahead to push sell or buy buttons. The truth is without this board their would be NO collective place to get updated information. Of course, conspiracy theories, pumpers, MM as well. It is up to each insividual to read and decide what words ring true for them. It does matter. That is why so many of us hate the otherwise likable 777. Just a negative presence that unfortunately is making us all eat our words now. Thus I must agree the incessant negativity at times certainly isn't helpful although understood by many. We just have to remember that it shouldn't be a self help board for frustrations so much as an information board that NEW investors will no doubt stumble upon while trying to research their investment.
YES! That BITCH
You and all of us... tomorrow is going to be a blood bath. So pissed
I have the same history. My main average was 1.82! Sold most on the spiral down at a huge loss. Mostly around .42. After feeling resurged confidence with new management, I got back in some at .38 and then again at around .28. I have lost so much on this stock, it is actually qualifying me as an idiot. These levels are just ridiculous. It does not spell confidence about the AGM. 50/50 on confidence after today to get back up some??? If they don't do something to infuse some confidence, I think they are done. I have never said this in the last 5 + years of owning this. But if there is nothing done to instil better hope for the investor, then we are done. But hey if TRXC can sell a turd and be worth double there is hope.... I know we shouldn't pray about money/investments but we should be praying and thinking of all the good things we could do with a win here. Screw Vegas...
I wasn't implying heavily that it was cannibix in the pic, just that an article on saliva had a breathalyzer in it instead of a spit bucket! They will need the breathalyzer to order a saliva test from suspicion is my guess. The Canadians are loyal and will wait for their own product as long as it is not more than 18 months behind the current maker. Also capabilities and price are factors of course... Im strong on BLOZF, despite the news of other makers in the market arena. The validation of a great need is a good thing. The final product will be the great thing
The Canadian market is testing saliva according to the article. However, look at what the officer is holding in the pic... a BREATHALIZER. In fact it looks very similar to the pic of Cannibix. I tried to magnify to look at the maker, but could not clarify what company it was. The article almost acts like they will have a PERMANENT sample in saliva, but they will have to screen to show cause to get the saliva test. The breathalyzer is the screening tool and the saliva is hard evidence no different then a blood sample to confirm for court applications... I hope BLO is working close with officials as we are led to believe. A breath test is ez and fast for screening... The saliva test will avoid blood draws and be easier and less risky to get a sample in the field for the officer
I hear you... however even if only that kind of buyout. 135 million. That would be 2000%+gain for us at the current MC. I would be extremely happy with a buy out of 1.8. This product has the potential of a lot more however. Let's hope he's a smart guy that has learned a lot.
The latest is that they are sitting on patented amazing tech for the future of diagnostics and testing. The opportunities are near endless and BILLIONS of dollars are to be made once this tech is refined and working. The fact that they own this patented tech is sooo very huge. But many wonderful ideas were not brought to fruition because of mismanaged business models... At this point there is risk. But the reward is potentially a game changer and life changer for any investor with some cojones....
Patel is the real deal.... So were many before. Why so many are putting the final straw on Patel baffles me. I would like to see it too, but I would advise anybody to not put tooooo much weight on it. I personally think that at the meeting we will get votes and confirmation of those votes and they will announce the testing centers... It could be that the conflict of interest with Patel is that he is signed on but not yet U of Florida Hospitals. There is no point of him being on board if his hospital isn't in full agreement about being a testing facility. Of course ISRG may not be liking any of it and playing hardball with contracts and availability/deals. Any of that could affect the hospital's bottom line... Patel or no Patel, there has to be a hospital system in place... I fear that is the battle that might be difficult for Titan. ISRG will not play in the sand box well, and ISRG is a financial winner for many institutions at this point.
I agree with you... This has dropped and hard to watch that in any investment you have money in. But the FAIMS/research team is solid. The trying to figure out how to integrate Nanose and FAIMS together was a complicated task. We have ownership of patented tech with FAIMS and only licensed use of the Nanose. Business wise there was hope to collaborate techs, but difficult to implement and totally not necessary. There is better focus on a defined product that we have patents for. There is HUGE potential here and it is cheap to buy now. By the end of the year and all the news that can be had, we could be back up in the .2-4+ range. 3-600% gains easily.
Quite frankly, I think this is pretty suspicious of motives.... these latest posts. I am all for DD and worries about things. After all this is an OTC development company. BUT... this response put out is a great thing and shows strength. It clearly shows that they are watching a competitive market. Maybe a bit of damage control, but don't we WANT damage control?! Also, they totally could be building a product based on court approval guidelines that they are receiving from Gov agencies. THAT is a good thing and not necessarily BS fluff. The trials, although not starting on a specific date, look like they are coming together. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL if the company could give a defined time. THERE IS NO WAY it has to take 18-24 months once started. Ridiculous. I have a doctorate degree and a BS in Chemistry and this kind of testing could be done in a month or two, based on its level of success. This is not a medicine that needs trials and outcomes. The levels and comparitives are immediate! That is the point of this technology! The longest part will be the paper work and regulations to let it happen. We have a new member to the team that has a great amount of experience to facilitate this. The numbers will speak for themselves once done. If tweaking needs to be done, more time. That will be the same with Hound Lab. There is a solid research, detail oriented team on this project. There is competition and that will get the fire going. The news release shows that they are feeling the fire stick. They are letting us know, they know and are pushing. I am not worried yet at all. But it seems some are hoping for a drop in PPS based on exagerated end of days messages. I am not buying it
There are two sides to this border war. Literally... The Canadian market is looking at an entire country with legality soon and is working with Cannabix... The US side of the border is growing state by state with no hope soon of national legalization. Taser had a purpose... tase criminals to put them down with little harm. That is a world wide and borderless issue... Different courts will want or support what suits them best in this space and I think Canada will look to its own company as long as it is not years out beyond hound lab... I totally believe first out is a big advantage, but a close second has a lot of the world to conquer and both companies can thrive big time. Also will come down to price and marketing which no one yet knows how good the teams are... This may be a great opportunity to buy more... Or who knows??? I'm not worried yet and would like very much to see a response from BLOZF
I sure hope so.... After crap day like today, we could use a strong smoking gun... AGM announcement of hospitals is my guess as to the next timeline announcement
The other issue with a reverse split is the contraction. We have seen this thing move with news before. That is with well over 150 million shares diluted. Contracted to 1/20th the needle on price will move much faster. Shorting will be a riskier venture. REAL interest will tend to TRUMP shorters much better. It could be that huge news or financing to FDA could see this catapult like never before. Trying to time it is a total gamble... I wish I had a crystal ball
I don't think doubling the shares kills us. It lessens the gains for us, but does not kill us. None of us want it for sure. An uplist just gets more eyes looking at us and improves the shot at increased PPS based on legit milestones and possible warrant money. Also improves the chance that an investment banking firm may invest large blocks up front. Instead of the 5-7 million BS, a chunk of 25 million that will carry us through several milestones and possibly to FDA submission. Also a better chance that a partner is on board to play. If we are diluted to 400 million SO, or 20 Million SO after a 20/1 r/s, the overall worth of the company will be lessened per stock issued, but not lessened. Of course we all want the highest pay day possible.... so the less dilution the better. But we will have more. Hopefully less and more effective with a r/s
YES... That is the moment. When they said at the AGM that they were fully funded, I dove in big time only to choke in some water. Been trying to stay afloat ever since while spatting/cussing.... The BIG reason no one wanted or believed in a r/s was because of the unnecessary dilution and lack of confidence it meant. Before now, I think we all believed that the PPS would go up with timeline successes and warrants would bring in cash without further dilution... We now know that strategy didn't work. So a r/s and uplist that will STILL give dilution, gives us all hope for better exposure and legitimacy to the $$$$ we need. If this doesn't work, we are toast. I am putting the chips on the table saying it is going to work. I sure the F hope so!!
Many different opinions here on the r/s. But some things are undeniably true. Market makers will still exist. They will just be different. No matter the market there will be those that don't give s shit about the company long term but will take the opportunity to make money off the fluctuations ( manipulated or not). The other truth is we will have not only more institutional support but all the individual potential support and NEW interest as well. How many of us have been told by brokers either directly or indirectly that this and the OTC is toooo risky and they would not advise it? Well we are the few that didn't listen. If this is uplisted to a respectable market and people read that we are a year from FDA submission of a new and unique robotic platform, I can't help believe there will be new interest. If MMs manage to bring the price down so they can gobble up cheap shares just to let it run, you have only lost money if you sell when it is cheap. The only reason they would drive the price down would be knowing they can tap into fear. BUT if the company is good. If there is promise, they will be buying and so should we. Because at a MC in the BILLIONS as a potential there is money to be made here. Lots of it. Maybe not the 1-3000% we might have dreamed of but some good returns. Looking at the size of our investments here we can influence the price by panicking and selling. We can win or lose with timing or investment. Collectively this board has more than 30 times the average daily volume. You only lose if you sell or if the company fails. Every anecdotal example of a company that either succeeded or failed with a r/s is a unique situation. The future will not translate. We have the perfect example of failure with trxc. CRAP PRODUCT. We are not crap. Many in the medical field are here because we know it is not crap. If we get money to FDA and we submit by end of 2018 as promised, we are golden. If we could do that in the OTC, we would be golden. It looks like mgt has a few options to consider and I bet it has to do with investment bankers...
I agree... I think it would smart to be 20 if they are going to do it. We are close to many many news releases to keep this in front of BIG investors eyes. Imagine.... If they 20/1 reversed and suddenly announced a financing that got them to the end of next year, you can not tell me that the price would fall. This could happen immediately and if you sold, you would miss the boat. ALL scenarios have happened... Good, bad and ugly. We are all to believe that we have things here that will make it a successful example... Great product. Great tech. Great future growth. Great management (finally). ISRG is a lonely carrot with a price target of $1000 PPS on the books. There is a lot of room for competition. The only difference would be to mentally reset our dream numbers we have undoubtedly had in our heads. After a few months, those numbers will reset and we will be closer and diluted just as we imagined, but in a closer more encouraging timeline, and on a market that makes us legit. After considering the options, I think this is a good move that is planned out of confidence that we will see SPORT in an OR in the near future. THAT will be awesome. GLTA
Well, the only thing I think is to guess the emotions of the split.... The money is the same. Based on a completed system now and fully funded (for the simplistic of math), we would have close to 400 million SO. A 20/1 would put us at 20 million SO. A ONE billion buy out or valuation would give a PPS of 50 at 20 million. It sounds unattainable if you just see "50", however all of us think that "1 Billion" MC is attainable. The Market Cap is the important number. How the PPS or MC fluctuates with emotions until FDA/Merger/BO who knows and it will be an institutional game to predict the upswings. BUT, IMO, people will look at ISRG. They will see a 31 BILLION MC and see money in their eyes with Titan. ESPECIALLY if world renown surgeons are commenting positively or comparitively! It is going to be a crazy ride for a while it seems... I think I am good either way. Just need to hang tough and remember the quotes of great investors... "stay and buy when you have something awesome and people are running scared"
Just finished up a truly crappy day in the OR. 3rd Code for me in 20+ years on my patient as we got him to the PACU. I saw the news release about Titan and thought... "I should have bought back in stronger a few months ago" But the pps did nothing... bizarre! The news and the article make me want to invest more and I am sure I will in the coming month. I can't help but think that two releases in a day is an attempt to drive the price up a little for another funding. I agree with your analysis of PPS prediction. But WHO KNOWS! I am just really HOPING that this comes to fruition, because days like today make me want to throw in the towel sooner than later!
