Forget it and watch something else for awhile. Say...Christmas.
In this quote, the company merely provides the equipment and AREF pays $2500 per use. Ok by me.
This is great news and, frankly, about time. Thank you!
Did you mean "tow?"
If so, it's not a chant. It's a legitimate response to the (MIS)characterization of svfc as failing when all of the indicators are that it is are getting its act together.
I think you are overstating the risk and underestimating the positive impact of what the BOD and new CFO are doing. IMO, this was good news today & a continuing trend of getting their house in order for a much bigger future.
My average is at .003. If it gets to .0006, I'll buy more, but I think it would reflect NEW problems and not the trend of correction.
My opinion only...obviously....probably worth....0006.
If that.
"the Interim CFO and search for a permanent CFO just now being put into place, the new National Sales Director just now announced, the strategic addition of Ray Hill just now being announced ....all recent foundational strategic events and thoughts and additions being acted upon. It's FOUNDATION. It's STRATEGY. It's TIMING. "
The investing community watching SVFC and specifically those with worries or who feel impatient, should put the above on a sticky and read it to themselves ...maybe even out loud.
Great post, Mave_rick.
Yes...true...and...a RS is still not in the cards. Next on deck for a reality-based discussion: the 10-Q, revenues, licenses, etc. not a RS.
Where did all of this split noise come from? (Roller, this isn't directed to you...I know it's not from you). The language from the current agreements prohibit a RS, so unless dark magic has occurred, let's get back to the realities that will be presented by the 10Q and the evolving BOD.
Exactly. Well put. Thank you.
I was responding to Sal70
If this runs to 9 cents....some here will be singing and dancing.
Just bought my last big block. Now....am patiently waiting to reap. :)
Hot damn!!!!!
Isn't it due Friday?
When was this letter dated?
Seems like great evidence why we keep pondering suing IR....
Old information and has been dealt with...as I've pointed out to you before...weeks ago.
Just bought another 700,000 shares....believer that I am!
Good response and I agree completely. This will, of course, shake out week hands. But longs will keep watching because NOTHING has changed with the company's technology at all.
I don't understand your point. Please be clear.
Great post. Thanks for covering the current ground so thoughtfully!
Alabama-based surgeon to the stars pleads with parents to give young athletes a break

Dr. James Andrews appeared on a CBS News special titled, “Dr. James Andrews: The most important man in sports?”
My summers growing up were consumed by “travel ball.” I feel like I saw most of the southeastern United States before I was 12 because every summer weekend meant another district tournament, state championship, world series, or showcase.
During the school year, football season overlapped with basketball season, which led right back into baseball.
I loved it. Unlike some of the other kids, I was fortunate in that my parents were always supportive, but never pressured me to do more than I wanted to. Other kids weren’t so lucky.
The father of one of the kids on my travel baseball team growing up was a firefighter. He would throw batting practice to his son almost all day. He would leave him sitting on a bucket in the batting cage just long enough to answer a call from the fire station, then return and get right back to it. They did that for years. The kid went on to play in the Atlanta Braves organization, so maybe it paid off. But while the rest of us were having fun, baseball for him was already a job at the age of 10.
When high school rolled around, there were days during the summer when basketball and baseball games would be scheduled on the same day. My basketball coach would bench me for weeks if I missed a game, so I played both on the same day whenever possible.
When it was time to decide what I wanted to play in college, I chose basketball. The NCAA had strict rules on the amount of time we could spend practicing, but by that point basketball for me was a year-round thing.
But as active as I was in sports growing up, it absolutely pales in comparison to what kids are being put through today.
I can’t recall a single friend of mine growing up from elementary school through high school who had to have surgery to repair an injury that could be attributed to overuse. Sure, there were some torn ACLs, a few broken bones and some severely sprained ankles — heck, most of my front teeth were knocked out — but nobody was going in for Tommy John surgery to fix a frayed ligament that resulted from throwing a curveball all summer in elementary school.
My how things have changed.
Nowadays it’s not abnormal at all for a middle-schooler to come in for a surgery to repair a repetitive stress injury, and world-renowned Alabama-based doctor James Andrews — orthopedic surgeon to the stars — has had enough.
“I started seeing a sharp increase in youth sports injuries, particularly baseball, beginning around 2000,” Andrews told The Cleveland Plain Dealer in an interview last year. “I started tracking and researching, and what we’ve seen is a five- to sevenfold increase in injury rates in youth sports across the board.”
In an effort to spread the word that there is an epidemic of repetitive stress injuries in youth sports, Andrews partnered with Don Yaeger, a former editor at Sports Illustrated, to write “Any Given Monday: Sports Injuries and How to Prevent Them, for Athletes, Parents and Coaches — Based on My Life in Sports Medicine.”
“I’m trying to help these kids, given the epidemic of injuries that we’re seeing. That’s sort of my mission: to keep them on the playing field and out of the operating room,” Andrews said. “I hate to see the kids that we used to not see get hurt… Now they’re coming in with adult, mature-type sports injuries. It’s a real mess. Maybe this book will help make a dent.”
Here are some other interesting nuggets from Andrews’ interview with the Plain Dealer:
“Specialization and “professionalism” are leading to a spike in youth injuries
Specialization leads to playing the sport year-round. That means not only an increase in risk factors for traumatic injuries but a sky-high increase in overuse injuries. Almost half of sports injuries in adolescents stem from overuse.
Professionalism is taking these kids at a young age and trying to work them as if they are pro athletes, in terms of training and year-round activity. Some can do it, like Tiger Woods. He was treated like a professional golfer when he was 4, 5, 6 years old. But you’ve got to realize that Tiger Woods is a special case. A lot of these kids don’t have the ability to withstand that type of training and that type of parental/coach pressure.
The whole youth sports system has gotten out of control
The systems out there in youth sports, particularly travel ball, have been important financial resources for the people who run them. Parents spend a fortune keeping their kids in a year-round sport, with travel and everything else. What’s happening is, the tail is wagging the dog. The systems are calling the shots: If your son or daughter doesn’t play my sport year-round, he or she can’t play for me. Never mind that your kid is 12 — I need year-round dedication.
Simply giving kids a little bit of a break could prevent most of these injuries
Kids need at least two months off each year to recover from a specific sport. Preferably, three to four months. Example: youth baseball. For at least two months, preferably three to four months, they don’t need to do any kind of overhead throwing, any kind of overhead sport, and let the body recover in order to avoid overuse situations. That’s why we’re seeing so many Tommy John procedures, which is an adult operation designed for professionals. In my practice now, 30 to 40 percent of the ones I’m doing are on high-schoolers, even down to ages 12 or 13. They’re already coming in with torn ligaments.
Give them time off to recover. Please. Give them time to recover.
There’s a lot more that can be gleaned from Andrews’ interview, and the full post at The Plain Dealer is worth a read.
But the bottom line is, as the summer wraps up and the school year begins, this might be a good time to give the superstars of tomorrow a break, and let them just be the kids of today.
So...you think that Andrews is backing a dead horse? Really?
For those who haven't taken the time, I'd really strongly suggest going through the timeline and content on http://www.intellicellbiosciences.com/news.html
This will give you a really good idea of the company that we're dealing with. This is NOT a .0012-0050 company. We are messing around with tiny numbers early in the stages of a biotech company that is going to be worth a lot more.
Anyway, my two cents. (That would be nice in the near term)
I think we are waiting for the 10-Q... again. Remember the last one. Arghhh
Completely agreed!!! Many does not live by the Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Addition alone!
:)
AS long as you're posting this, do you have SVFC's response AND the FDA's response to Intellicell? That seems only fair.
Truthfully, I want them to do something very simple: hire a CFO. OTherwise, I completely get everything going on. I'm really cool with being patient on the other stuff.
I do think this is why they have an sec attorney regulating when they can say anything. Something is on the verge and they are playing cards very close to the vest. For the first time in the time I've been holding the stock, I don't feel this is sloppy behavior on Intellicell's part. Now...if they miss the 10-Q....I might change my tune.
Is this true for all members of the board? That violations of TOS will result in deletions of the post, etc? It doesn't seem that this is applied in a balanced fashion, though the TOS is well-written and I understand it thoroughly.
Thank you for your reminder.
Wait until we find out that there will be government funding. This has Govt funding potential written all over it. Particularly if he can show ANY possibility of ANY benefit with PTSD OR improvement with ANY conflict related wound. Spell... government grand funding. Big$. period.
As a member of the investing public, I appreciate the transparency of your posts. They are, remarkably transparent.
I wouldn't be surprised if an investigation is ongoing
Completely agree. That will stop this ridiculousness!
Okay....0017's. time to load up again. :)
I'm a medical profession too with a license to practice.... So...
Are YOU reading the news? Wow...again. This is difficult to understand how the investing public could come to the conclusions you are by a balanced review. This company is rapidly strengthening!
Will you please update the front of the board.
Thank you.
Why are you here? Just to say the stock sucks? Come on? Have you been listening. The times, they are a changing...
