Congratulations Theralase, et al.
Anyone selling anytime in the immediate future will only be trying to suppress the pps. The pps should move immediately and significantly higher over the course of the next few weeks. IMO.

Why would pps it drop at all?
If ATTBF secures an agreement with SK, there shouldn't be a drop at all. It should be a steady raise.
Then there will be additional spikes higher as continued progress is made towards the business model infrastructure. Any new PR will continue to put more support under the pps.
Then a big jump with any new HC awards.
IMO.
Regards,
BK
That makes absolutely no sense to me.
Unless there are mechanical changes, there shouldn't be additional units required as the functionality limitations are software algorithm based. The enhancements should have been designed at the circuit board level, not in the frame and mechanical sub-assemblies. Limitations established for the field(s) of operation, and specific features for hand controllers based on the end effectors.
That's engineering BS. IMO.

The biggest questions 4 me:
Are they still considering building 9 robots for testing. Why would Longtai need 6 of them? That's a red flag for me.
Another would be "Why isn't management reducing the number of indications to create the shortest distance to CE mark?" Less funding required and end goal milestone to be able to sell and MARKET!"
If they reduce the milestones and the requirement for funding all those robots, then I feel that they're focusing on the right issues to uplist and get this moving.

I never left and was buying on the way down the entire time.
I'm happy to see the volume, interest and increase in value that I always thought the company would receive.
Thanks.

3M shares traded on TMX today.
Canada is very excited about ATTBF. That's a lot of volume for a little stock.
Really good volume for the pps.

Exactly. That's the value of the license.
And.....just because others have applied for one, doesn't mean that they will get an award.
Regards,
BK
Those are 2 key accelerators that would boost pps.
Any move of industry consolidation or players that can't be in the industry because they haven't been awarded a license would find ATT:CC very attractive. But again, I think the company would put off any move to sell for a little while longer, because any activity toward M/A would boost the pps quickly.
That license is extremely valuable, not only to ATT:CC but to any entity considering doing business in the MMJ market.
The best way I can clarify the points in my mind would be to equate the license(s) to patents for manufacturing companies. It's a barrier to entry, with a very high IP value.
Because of those facts, I just don't know why anyone would be selling at this level, or below $.50 for that matter. This company is easily valued at that pps.
Personally, I'm looking for $2 - $5 before considering selling some shares.
IMO.
Regards,
BK
The license is tangible, but I would think (JMO) that any entity would wait for further development prior to considering a buyout/offer. Unless that entity has relative certainty of future awards, and knows of the future value of the balance of HC licenses/certifications. I guess that would fall under wisdom, or aggressive foresight?
The Canadian markets continue to trade +1M shares a day. Amazing.

MM's. Sorry for the confusion. I love Xi and Plexus.

PPS trade psychology.
If this company is so bad, then why are the MM's working so hard to reduce, or suppress the pps on or near the last trade of the day??? Someone appears to be making a hell of an effort. JMO.
Personally I think they suck, but I'd never say that publicly.

BK
Great find. Appreciate that.

$.03-$.05 per day sounds reasonable.
We should be headed back above $.50pps just on the existing news of continued operations, management changes, and business model changes. I know - we haven't heard about the business model changes yet.
Just knowing that the BoD are addressing changes is very positive in itself.
Stay patient.

Those folks that sell ALA must be trying to drive this into the dirt!
Staying patient.

30K shares at $.144 US just now.
It's moving up as more people find out about the new life in the company and evaluating the potential.
Slow and steady is a good thing.

Holy Cow!
We knew that they were researching other cancer applications/options, but I didn't know that they were pursuing another rat model procedure.
Who the heck would sell this now below $1.00 US?
How much is this success worth now?
Very encouraged to see this.

There may be pneumatically controlled arms/appendages, in a video with subtitles, starting with the phrase "imagine if you will....."
I'm cautious and a little skeptical, with the 200 people working on the project - unless there's a lot of software involved. My reasoning comes from the risk associated with navigating the IP/Patent landmines. Without a portfolio of patents from which to work, the process would be very slow, especially with the main design work.
Anyone know of how many patents that they are working with from their toolbox?

BK
3rd, 4th and 5th that.

You have to be in b4 the next PR to make $$$$.
There's an official gov't issue license, which is a legitimate revenue vehicle.
There's the announcement of an MOA with south Korea. Big potential, but just potential for now.
It's $.10 pps. What's all the anxiety about???
The biggest issue was whether ATTBF could become a viable revenue generating company.
The license to test was THE issue.
It's not going to rocket over night, but will continue to climb slowly.
There will be further announcements as "other" avenues for revenue reveal themselves.
But...... you have to be in to make any $$$.

Please...say it isn't so!
I'll have to move if JH shows up. I can't deal with "the man who couldn't be a GM, even if he brought his checkbook to the interview, anymore."

I just wish the pps rise wasn't in sync with Titan. Then I could sell some and buy the other to continue to avg down.
GLTA.
Regards,
BK
Yes, and no.
What none of us knows is whether Dr. Fowler's influence was bigger with the BoD, and if there was ANY push back from JH or the BoD about all of the tweaking that is suspected, which purportedly lead to extended time lines and unnecessary additional expense.
All that I can hope for is that there's a line-in-the-sand about changes/enhancements. So only the existing features/functionality are being addressed, and the plans going forward and a hopeful hard look at the design freeze and a shorter time line to CE application.
If that's not happening, we have found the never-before-seen fifth Stooge.
Do I remember correctly that Titan is going to a "buyers conference this month?" Can't recall the name. Sorry. Real curious as to the effect the presentation in Italy will have too.
GLTA
Regards,
BK
So sell now if the financing is addressed?
I'd assume that the financing is going to be lower than today's pps, REGARDLESS of the 200K last minute buy. We'll call that bad timing just to eliminate the possibility that someone knew of the financing announcement. Because if they did know about the financing announcement - and the general consensus is that the pps will be lower than today, then why buy at all today? Unless buying today is based on the fact that the financing will adequately address Titan's needs during the time necessary to get to design freeze and CE application.
Also, if the market is not rational then the pps will go lower, but for how long before it rebounds back above where we are today? The market will react to the announcement of a new CoB and Dr. Fowler's replacement. And if there is an announcement of changes to the business time line.
Who ever decides to sell better have great timing, luck and a very clear view of the future. GLTA
Regards,
BK
So far I haven't heard anyone take into account what the BoD has said to JH. Isn't that the elephant in the room?
I don't think they will sit idly by as the progress of SPORT is part of their legacy too. I may be placing too much emphasis on their participation, but I thought that is what they are there for. No?
Let's see what transpires with this financing and the future announcements regarding the CoB and Dr. Fowler's replacement. Perhaps that series of announcements will take us back where we all hope to be.
Regards,
BK
They don't have a choice. IMO.
Unless there's a white knight waiting, or already in place.
Once financing is adequately addressed, then pps will raise following the slope of the time line/milestones.
Regards,
BK
Well, $.40 is lower than where you sold.
I hope your timing is good, and it's a short window for you to take advantage. Like - a few hours.
The big question in my mind is, "why would anyone sell now, knowing that the financing issue is being addressed?"
Regards,
BK
Neither is it likely to go to $.2
Really? One way to make this more valuable is to get to design freeze and to CE in the shortest time frame possible. Without selling off a big percentage of the company to a VC. This is one way to raise the capital that's needed to get this back on track ASAP.
Let's try to keep from jumping to ridiculous assumptions and see what really happens.
We're closer than we've ever been. So I'm hopeful for a change in the business model and the plans for shorter time lines.
Regards,
BK
If this is going to be ugly?
Why would anyone buy 200K at the close, all at once if this is going to be ugly? Perhaps it's ugly for a few days, a week and then away we go? I certainly wouldn't spend that kind of money at the close on the day of an announcement for further funding unless there was good information. It's a big risk, and unnecessary because we can all buy shares in the next few days if it goes lower.
Something isn't adding up in my mind.
Regards,
BK
It's plausible. I don't disagree.
But, I'd think the email would be directed to JH, not Laviolette. JH would have to raise the issue with their lawyers, then present it to Laviolette to have any effect. No?
Just thinking out loud.
Regards,
BK
Sorry that wasn't very clear.
I think I misunderstood your point. The PR is what drove the pps up, and Titan will use the PR to offer fewer shares at a higher price. Right? I thought you meant that the pps, over several specific times was artificially driven up, and the MM's or Titan was the suspected culprit. The question is why would they do that? Maybe the MM's have incentive via someone/company to keep the pps low so they can accumulate lower. But, it wouldn't benefit Titan... unless it's to help with an acquirer as part of the "handshake" theory. Which then would be manipulation to our detriment.
Regards,
BK
That would imply that the pps is being artificially restricted.
If it was easy to research and follow the pps and the subsequent financing activity, I don't think that would be good for the MM's or Titan. Who would benefit if a pattern of consistent artificial suppression of the pps were evident? Almost anyone, or any company except the current shareholders, right?

Hi NES,
There were 9 robots stated to be built, I think during the AGM 2015? But there are only 5 built that which I'm aware. My point being, why 9 because they are very expensive and the prevailing issue is funding. I may have my point of reference wrong as to when 9 units were to be built, but I remember 9 being the total number before certification. I don't know why 5 is necessary. I can see 3 maybe for the US? 1 for western EU and 1 for Canada? More after CE to get funding and cash flow going. Anyone?
I always thought that CE would guide mgmt to focus on western EU and Canada first, then FDA/US.
Regards,
BK
Thanks Captain Obvious.
We have a lot of room to trash that competitor. If any part of the investment marketplace thinks that the former "ALF," now SenHance device is better than SPORT - then it's game on. That's why it's called competition. What do you think Marketing is about? Seeing this "Senhance" should create - on some level more comfort and confidence that SPORT is the next MI robot that will have a significant impact on the marketplace. Why? Because "Senhance" is literally MORE of the same thing that already exists.
I was joking about patient size in the previous post, but..... there's only so much room in the surgical field and the OR. Size DOES matter. Miniaturization will be THE key to the "next generation" of surgical devices. And many existing OR's were not designed for 4 separate, additional mechanical/surgical pedestals.
Further, I'm not saying that you don't have a point - which is harped on innumerable times EVERY day, but it's not entirely the problem. The other side of that coin is.... how TITAN spends it's funding. So I ask sincerely - Do they really need 9 robots? Are or were they taking the shortest route to get to get certification to sell this device anywhere in the world? No.
Regards,
BK
But wait, there's more!
1) "Senhance" - "When 1 surgical incision just won't do!"
2) "Senhance" - "4 times the fun in every procedure!"
3) "Senhance" - "Surgical robot and dance team."
4) "Senhance" - "Look what happened to the T-Rex when 2 arms just couldn't get the job done?"
5) "Senhance" - "When size matters."
6) "Senhance" - "No such thing as down-time, there's a food cart delivery conversion option available."
7) TransEnterix - while on an analyst call. "Our robot is very cost effective for the hospital." Our profit is tied to the shipping and handling fees, which is from a separate budget!"
8) "Senhance" - "4 times the pleasure of your patients experience."
Ok, now I'm done. Some would say I was done before.
Regards,
BK
There are times that you want to have competition.
This is one of those times. By comparison this will create more exposure and conversation about SPORT. And increase the anticipation of SPORT's availability. Hell, it would be great to see this picture and SPORT in a series of side-by-side adds. Too easy.
1) A picture of all 4 arms, and one of SPORTS 2 snake arms & the camera, and 1 band-aid.
2) A picture showing where to make 5 cuts, and a caption "1 cut here, and here and here, and here, and here." Call it "Pain x5, and which arm does what?"
3) A picture asking "How do 2 hands, and 2 eyes control 5 tools at the same time?" Show them all moving at the same time, running into each other, or smacking organs (with sound effects) like a scene from the 3 Stooges.
4) Or take a picture of the OR (very wide angle - overhead shot to show the size of the room needed, with a depiction of an obstacle course for the surgical team. "Extend the lives and careers of your surgical team with the added benefits of their MIS aerobic exercise routines using our new robots."
5) All 4 arms in a single frame - straight on, and the terrified face of a patient. The picture looks like a mechanical octopus attacking a patient. Or with the same picture and a very skinny patient, with the caption "We're going to need a bigger patient."
6) Or a picture with a view of both robots, through an eye exam device with the caption, "Which is clearly easier to use? 1 or 2? 1 or 2?"
Sorry, it's my attempt at early morning humor - it's just a very slow morning.

Amen brother. Keep connecting the dots and reading from the book of Kahuna.
No need for 9 robots. Fast track design freeze. Apply for CE ASAP.

I think it was to complete the "original" blueprint/business model, which included 9 SPORTS. I'm of the opinion that 9 working units aren't necessary, so +$30M won't be necessary, unless it's a hard number for Ximedica to restart the process.
I've posted my other opinions regarding what I think they're doing, or should be doing.
I can see why you're confused. New posters with 10's of thousands of shares - and we're headed for a cliff? Not so fast.
I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen, because Titan may have had conversations in the distant past, or recently, but circumstances change daily. Even if they wanted to tell you what was going on last week, it's probably different today. For complete transparency the company would need to provide updates 2x a day. Not realistic. One conversation leads to another, and someone from a previous conversation gets advice from a 3rd party and changes their mind about certain terms or conditions. This process has a life of its own, every day. We don't know how our day is going to go, much less know where Titan's day is going.
The only thing that I'm sure of is that SPORT, as it is today is superior to what's currently being sold and used. Not once have I heard from anyone on this board, who uses a daVince, when compared to SPORT that it's inferior in ANY way. That's how I base the value of this company and SPORT. Whether Dr. Fowler is part of the co., or not, the liver surgeon is not going to say "well if I can't work with Dr. Fowler, then I'll wait for the next robot to come to market." That doesn't pass the smell test.
I'll agree that Dr. Fowler is clearly one of the most knowledgeable about IREP, but.... not "THE" only person - any more. The engineers at Ximedica needed to know what he knows to program those snake arms to do what's necessary to perform those repetitive tasks that surgeons perform during the course of a successful surgical procedure. That's the beauty of this product. The software can only control the snake arms within the 3 dimensional plane, and the end effectors to the limits of the mechanical dexterity. Once that's done - it's over. There's a finite limit of movement, and it's by design because there's a finite limit of space within the surgical field. The only way that changes would be if the mechanics are changed to add more capability.
Many are missing the point of this product. It's about IP, design, and the ability to reach places that are not reachable today. It's about meeting a real need in the existing marketplace, with a better field of view, and providing Dr's the ability to extend their careers.
It's unfortunate that the current activity is creating a high level of anxiety, but I think it was necessary to get us to where we all want to be sooner than later.

BK
