Completely agree, and think it is a bad sign when the shareholder base has to do the marketing and outreach. CTIX really needs a peer reviewed journal article published on Brilacidin. Maybe it is in the works.

I don't think B-OM will move the market. The whole up-list thing is what I have the most trouble with in getting a great read on CTIX, and management. LR's points are very well taken, and Leo was very wishy-washy with it over the last few months. The route with the independent directors is very strange. I would love to see it get resolved. Up-list and P3 granted for B-ABSSSI= nothing but net.

In about 2 weeks, the anticipation of the upcoming FDA meeting and European Conference should ramp up.

Very good. Feel free to share your opinion after the call. Always interested in hearing what others have to say.

Looking forward to the CC Monday. I'll be making a decision to sell, hold, or add based on it.

Good catch! Hope it means what we hope it means.

Yes. I wonder if the end of March timeline given was conservative or aggressive?

CTIX = Honey Badger

I doubt it is them. If it is, agreed, they would just be dabbling to see how it reacts.

I would think it's mostly action from swing trading within a very strong share structure that is anticipating good news.

Aruda or his lawyers possibly?

Both. The tide should lift all boats.

Rebounding nicely after the JPM downgrade on one of the larger holdings in the ETF.

My favorites individual holdings are WYY, AVG, and IL.

DoD piloting over-the-air mobile derived certificates

The Defense Department is running a small-scale mobile device security pilot that could enable the department to move away from common access card readers for mobile devices by July.

The pilot of 14 iOS devices uses soft certificates, which place a digital certificate on a device via a registry or file system, in the native keystore, said Greg Youst, chief mobility engineer at the Defense Information Systems Agency.

"We had a PKI implementation memorandum come out from DoD CIO that basically said we are going to put all our focus on doing derived certificates into the keystore," said Youst, who spoke Feb. 18 at the Federal Mobile Computing Summit in Washington, D.C.

Youst said the DoD has more public key infrastructure, or PKI, reliant applications than any other department.

"We've got to break this nut," said Youst.

"Doing what we're doing now won't work. CAC readers are expensive. We've got to keep them charged up, they've got to be connect to the device and the cost," said Youst.

DISA received authorization from the DoD Chief Information Officer in August 2014 to run the pilot and was instructed to halt other mobile projects, such as DISA's work on near field communication, or NFC,-enabled identity management, he said.

In addition to the mobile soft cert pilot, DISA is developing an over-the-air PKI provisioning process. Youst said DISA plans to demonstrate the use of over-the-air certificates to iOS devices by mid-March.

"According to the PKI implementation memorandum from DoD CIO, we're supposed to be operational with this system by the end of July. I'm not going to comment on whether we're going to make it or not, but we are pushing toward operational," he said.

Youst said DISA is working with iOS first because the platform is better prepared for doing soft certs on to the device, but he also indicated DISA had a lengthy meeting with Samsung to start putting certificates into the trusted execution environment or an extended secure element on their phones.

"The OSes vary so much, we're probably going to have a core system but the interface to the devices will be based on the OS," he said.

"So, if you're going to do a certificate for iOS, well that's going to have a different process. For Windows, it will have a different process. For BlackBerry, it will have a different process, but they're all going to talk to a core and that's what's going to be important. And this is going to be over the air," said Youst.

Breaking out. Feels like someone knows something.

Great week! Hopefully just the early start to a long bubbly run in the sector.

Just in the past 24 hours...

Maybe the best chart in a hot sector. I wouldn't be surprised if it test old highs over the next few months.

AVG posted impressive numbers. HACK volume strong again today.

You're welcome. Very promising message. I liked that he said they pushed it to the limit and almost bankrupted themselves in 2013, but now here they are in a strong position at just the right time for the industry.

HACK Record volume day! Cat is out of the bag. The billion dollar bath waking everyone up?

Hacking is out of control lately. The tide is going to shift in a big way over the next year or two to spend money beefing up the security of their assets. The public's trust in the banking system rides on it. This may end with bitcoin or more likely some derivative of it as our new currency, but it is too early to tell.

WYY Nice chart, solid consolidation over the last 15 months. Hedge funds interested.

Enjoyed the presentation that is linked in this news release.

I realize you guys are probably focused on quick trades, but I feel this is an incredible long term sector play.

Good post. I am looking forward to BK's write-up as well. I would add that I also believe that a partnership is waiting in the wings for the phase 3 protocol to be set. I believed that was why the Nasdaq talk late last year, and the use of momentous. Now, we are just delayed. Maybe the delay added some vagueness originally to the hopeful partnership, but has since solidified as mostly a done deal. Hence, Leo moving forward with up-list.

Devil's advocate in me would argue that Leo was trying to raise funds at more advantageous levels to get through phase 3 for B late last year, and that the shift back to getting up-listed now was to buy time for the stock for access to more favorable levels from Aspire.

I think it's highly possible that the CEO of a large biotech company may not know every company his mergers and acquisitions team is evaluating, but maybe I wrong.

I would agree that "daily inquiries" was probably not entirely accurate.

I don't think this conversation is going to give anyone clarity on the true inquiry. We'll probably never know until we all do.

I don't think those that attended were referring to company executives.

Nice to get an expectation on when to expect B-ABSSSI to enter phase 3. Looks like we should target around May to June.

They even left out the biggest point, from my point of view. That Leo said very soon in The Boston Business Journal after full well knowing the FDA requested more information before granting phase 3 for B-ABSSSI.

My trust in Leo was damaged some from that, since he had previously talked about up-listing in years past.

Great looking chart here. I'm in for a starter now in case it takes off soon.

Wish we knew if CTIX has submitted the PK data to the FDA yet. I think someone said the FDA then has 60 days to hold the meeting after submitted? May be tough to finish phase 3 B-ABSSSI in 2015 if the data isn't submitted real soon.

I'll feel much better after CTIX is permitted to start phase 3.

Watching for independent appointments to the board too.

Could be anticipation for Monday PR, or perhaps "they" know there is one. See you Monday!

Yes, not sure how the standoff will end. Would be surprised if it continued to stay around $3.50 as tightly as it has the past few days.

Buyers drying up, time to test lower bounds?

Agree, and this is a message board whose main purpose is to discuss. Even ell established management groups who have made great decisions should still be questioned.

Interesting divide developing over CTIX the past several weeks. Some don't want to question anything, and think full trust should be given. Others are scratching their head over recent events and communications.

I don't know how to make heads or tails of this progression.

Late December: FDA asks for PK data.
Few days later: Leo says Nasdaq very soon.
Couple weeks later: Leo says Nasdaq sometime in 2015.
2 weeks later: Leo says moving forward with up list.

I'm very curious to see who joins the BOD to qualify them for an up list. Since the company is saying the are moving forward with an up list, it should be safe to assume we'll see the additional board members within a couple weeks.

Today CTIX announced it sneezed and the NASDAQ application moved from the right side of the desk to the left. Take that shorty!

Sorry, but this is getting bad to watch.

The law of numbers is on their side. Vast majority of pink sheets over $1, let alone $3, are going to crash in the next 6 months. So yes, lazy.

What changed your feeling of it spending a long time in the low $3's?
