I'm very glad that people are buying DNAG using limit orders, now. Foiling the illegal exploitation of the pump-and-dumpers. We take up the slack, hold like pros, and this stock can climb properly.
Increase in price per share is "ho hum"?
The Fed just cut by another 50 basis points. Credit market apparently loosening up in a hurry, great news for DNAG! I'm glad they didn't accept some horrible financing terms, just before interest rates began plunging. Go, DNAG! Good job, once again!
It's also good to note, that DNAPrint Genomics is out speaking to potential new investors about this breaking news. Keep up the good work, DNAG! Your consistent hard work is beginning to pay off in major ways, in my opinion.

DNAPrint Genomics, Inc. (OTCBB: DNAG), up 4% on 5 million shares, today announced that it has helped the Boulder, Colo. Police Department solve a 10-year-old rape and murder case involving a 23-year old University of Colorado student by using the Company's proprietary DNAWitness 2.5 product. Subsequently, detectives arrested Diego Olmos-Alcalde on Jan. 27th after a DNA match linking the 38-year-old suspect to the victim's slaying.
It's great to be able to say, "We're all over the news this morning!"

Thanks, that's good to know.
Good luck to you and all of us. Things appear to be getting more interesting lately, with DNAG. I don't know of any other sub-penny stocks that have a new Reality TV episode associated with them. "Good as Gold" is a particularly encouraging title for the episode, don't you think?
Getting back to the real news, it will be interesting to see how recent events and media exposure, including the new "Good as Gold" Forensic Files episode, will play out with DNAPrint Genomics and its stock.
Executing transactions for the purpose of manipulating stock price, is expressly illegal. The SEC actively combats stock price manipulation. Multiple tiny sell transactions are the classic offenders, for those wishing to drive a low-trading-volume stock into the ground. Like steps leading down into the abyss, such criminals can force the stock down with each sell transaction. The tiny transaction sizes, consistent direction (always pushing the stock DOWN, never up,) and the highly suspicious timings (such as when a rally appears to be imminent,) are dead giveaways.
Another common abuse is a bash/buy and pump/sell operation, which is the prime cause of what has been termed the "DNAG shuffle." It is exploitation. Rallies deliberately sold into with millions of shares at market price, with no limit order, to cash in on and simultaneously crush the nascent rally.
We have been observing all of these abuses.
For those who are fed up with this blatant stock price manipulation:
SEC Complaint Center
http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml
SEC Complaint Center

I'm sure the SEC will have something to say about these problems, before long.
The same basher(s)/stock manipulator(s) can be clearly seen, caught in the act. Notice the tiny trades (sells) immediately following my purchase of 2 million shares (clearly visible in the chart) :
http://finance.google.com/finance?q=OTC:DNAG
The purpose of such tiny sells (such as a measly 250 shares!!!) is clear: to drive and keep the price per share down. As illegal as anything. SEC, are you listening? I think I'll give them a heads-up.
DNAG is worth far more than it's trading for. The nonstop bashing and the nonstop manipulation are obvious factors in that.
In other words: Report the suspicious activities, and I call DNAG an "extremely strong buy." I think it's likely to turn out to be the most extreme value stock of all time.
DNA match nets arrest in '97 Boulder rape, murder
January 28, 2008
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/jan/28/dna-match-made-a-decade-later/
Brief excerpt: "Boulder investigators learned in 2004 that the suspect could be Hispanic or Native American after sending the DNA specimen from Chase's body to DNAPrint Genomics in Florida. For 10 years, they knew that the mysterious DNA held a critical key to solving the crime."
This, along with other recent news and the "Good as Gold" episode, is great news for this sub-penny stock. Even better news for humanity.
(And Beckman Coulter, Bioserve, DNA Direct, and DNAG's other partners and law-abiding, ethical stockholders!)
The new "Good as Gold" Forensic Files episode, that's certainly good news for DNAG.
I just bought 2 million more shares (limit order, $.0024 per share.) Now I'm a "6 million share man." I was going to buy 4 million, but my investment banker wants me to maintain a reasonably balanced portfolio. I'll probably hate him for that when DNAG is trading for $1 or more per share in the coming years, which I think it most probably will.

Obvious disclaimer, for those who need such things: I'm a DNAG stockholder. Go, DNAG!
Fed Shifts to Lending Concern in Emergency Rate Cut

Brief excerpt: "The Federal Reserve signaled today that it has grown increasingly concerned over the reluctance of banks to provide credit to companies and consumers..."
[Note, companies including DNAPrint Genomics.] A loosening credit market is great news for DNAG.
You're welcome, Sam.
That's what I call a great buying opportunity. But you won't get it at that price, without using limit orders.
Fed Cuts Rate 0.75 Percentage Point in Emergency Move
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=amQ_mDSVec40&refer=home
Brief excerpt: "It's the biggest single reduction since the Fed began using the rate as the principal tool of monetary policy around 1990."
Looser credit markets appear to be on their way. Particularly good news for businesses like DNAPrint Genomics, which has been seeking new funding.
A couple other search links, on the subject of human CNV:
Google Scholar:
http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=human+cnv&hl=en&lr=
Google News:
http://news.google.com/news?tab=sn&sa=N&q=human+cnv&hl=en&lr=
Excerpt from the ELSI paper I just linked to:
"...despite several news reports and scientific editorials, the topic has not yet captured the public imagination, even though accumulating data indicate that CNV content might exceed that of SNPs within humans4, and between humans and chimpanzees."
And here's a bombshell that nobody appears willing to touch: the measured CNV difference between the human races, to date, exceeds the updated CNV measurements between human and chimpanzee. Which leads to speculation that chimpanzees merely diverged from us and went their own way, but at a later date than the origins of the human races. (Puzzling, at first, but it makes sense if chimps are isolates, and humans did not evolve primarily in Africa.)
That said, there are major questions and implications of these discoveries, which so radically reverse previous dogmatic statements and beliefs. This paper on the ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications) of CNV in the human genome:
Implications of copy-number variation in the human genome: a time for questions
http://npg.nature.com/nrg/journal/v7/n6/full/nrg1884.html
Great news for DNAG, in my opinion. They definitely *are* measuring meaningful things.
Before everyone gets all excited, the Nature CNV results *do not* mandate silly racist tendencies. I think they point to multiregional evolution, which appears to be a complex and, overall, positive phenomenon.
P.S., "copy number variation" is actually a poor name for it, as what's observed includes novel genes in some races, and missing genes in others. I suspect "CNV" is a politically expedient euphemism, in this case, for "overall genetic difference." Like I said, the same kinds and degrees of difference normally seen between different species.
Yes, it'a a dramatic reversal. I think the major turning point, in the literature, is the Nature paper on human CNV (copy number variation in the human genome.) But the big messages aren't put front and center, you have to examine it with a magnifying glass to see: the three major races sampled (Asian, European, African,) cluster distinctly and quite differently from each other, not a random distribution, but a distribution which (according to the paper's 43 authors, from multiple nations and of different races, I might add,) fits best with a model of three separate ancestral groups (ancient origins for those three races, not merely a recent "Out of Africa" shebang.) The extent of CNV in the human genome, in that paper, was pegged at 12% of the genome (a VAST quantity,) with up to 10% overall genetic difference observed between sampled individuals of different races. That's the kind of difference normally seen between different species. I think it strongly supports a multiregional model of evolution, and strongly contradicts/refutes "Out of Africa." The implications in medicine, forensics, geneaology, paleoanthropology, etc., are monolithic.
Here's a link to the 43-author paper I mention:
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7118/abs/nature05329.html
And a few other links (to Google searches on the subject):
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=human+copy+number+variation
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=human+cnv
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nature+human+cnv
Quite a dramatic reversal in science. Politics is perhaps the largest factor to blame in the previous erroneous statements; when contradictory results were seen (and they were, many many times,) they were always swept under the carpet, ultimately turning into a monster under the carpet, which has crawled out to show itself (though the overall media and the public, and even most academics, continue to try to ignore it.)
Yep! I think DNAG may turn out to be the most extreme value stock of all time. (That's why I keep buying so much of it.) I guess if I just wanted to focus on greed, and didn't care about anyone or anything else, I wouldn't say a single positive word about DNAG, and buy the stock even cheaper. But then I don't think I'd be able to live with myself as comfortably. Cash isn't everything.
LOL, while you're at it, send the same question to every company whose stock is tanking. What do you think they can do, roll some bones and divine the reasons? Perhaps they can ask Dr. Phil.
I thought I made it clear... I'm interested in buying 4 million more (doubling my share count.) I'm watching to see what the PPS will do. The cheaper the better, from a buyer's perspective.
P.S., funding may soon become much easier to acquire. Following the financial news (Bloomberg tv, CNBC, etc.,) and talking to my broker, it appears likely that the Fed will cut, much more than 25 basis points this time. My broker is speculating on a 100 basis point cut. As it is, the banks are hardly even lending to each other, that's why the money auctions were set up, and all that. This tight credit market is not expected to last forever. DNAG will outlast it, I'm confident of that, but of course I don't have a crystal ball.
It may seem that way, but it's entirely possible that it will hang in there, for some time, before the sought-after funding is acquired. Existing income streams (including AncestryByDNA) may pick up this year, through DNA Direct and Beckman Coulter, etc., enough to make the company profitable, or at least remain in operation, even before that funding is acquired. I don't see DNAG going away soon. Beckman Coulter, DNA Direct, BioServe, etc., wouldn't be interested in a sinking ship. I think DNAG's products are cutting edge, and will pay off.
Hi all,
I'm back from my vacation. I see that the struggle goes on. Interesting times...
Still holding my 4 million shares, and have no plans to sell unless the PPS goes up a lot (then I would sell with limit orders; I have no desire to deliberately crush rallies, as that would be unethical as well as illegal, as we all surely know.) I'm tempted to pick up another 4 million. I'm watching to see what the PPS will do from here.
Good luck, DNAG and all law-abiding stockholders!
Nobody trades that way.
Can't ever get it back? That's a loaded statement, which assumes the PPS will never go up. I think that's not the more likely scenario.
Thanks!
Happy Holidays, all!
I'll be away for a few weeks, on vacation. Now you know the reason I won't be posting during that time period.
I think it's a good company. Perhaps they've made some mistakes, but I think they're trying. That the stock is so cheap right now, is certainly horrible in a sense, but also makes this an Extreme value stock, with a capital E.
The potential upside far outweighs any potential loss. I was previously bought in at an average price of .0074, now I doubled that, buying 2 million more shares at .0042, making my average buy-in price .0058. Remember, "buy low, sell high," it's not the norm to "buy lowest, sell highest" (though everyone would want to do that, of course.) And there is no loss if the stock is not sold at a loss. I'm holding because I think the stock will most likely increase in price, FAR above my averaged buy-in price of .0058.
P.S., when the rally is crushed, people get irrationally disappointed. It's best to take an informed look at the bigger picture, here. The "DNAG shuffle" is not a desirable phenomenon (except for those who exploit it,) but it doesn't really change the company's prospects, either (other than reducing their stock's value, in the short term.) I expect all these problems to be gone, perhaps sooner rather than later.
The "DNAG shuffle" was always caused by a combination of very well understood factors:
- A lot of very cheap shares exist (a glut, you could call it,) and demand hasn't yet tightened it up sufficiently (but that is slowly changing, I think)
- People sometimes buying in without limit orders (causing price to spike.) This in turn tends to excite other buyers, and the spike can escalate quickly.
- One or more people exploiting this spike in price, selling massive quantities of stock into the rally, crushing it (deliberately, I think, so they can continue playing the "sweet spot" of manipulating and exploiting the stock and the stockholders. Works best at very low share prices, something the SEC and informed traders are very well aware of.)
Now that people appear to have taken heed, and are buying in with limit orders (never with a simple market order,) and are generally wising up to these factors, the DNAG shuffle hasn't happened, despite relatively large transactions lately! Good!
