thank you. Now I can lay off from checking the FDA Application results search engine constantly.
thanks
you guys have any realistic positive expectations on this stock?
ok, but as you can see from the dates of the articles, and assuming Ms. Hempel and the Wall Street Journal are being accurate in their printed statements, then the submission date is on or after Feb. 28th but before March 10th. I am basing myself on actual statements in print, not verbal statements which by their own nature carry less weight. Why do statements in print carry more weight than verbal statements?; it's because people who make statements in print can be held more accountable for those statements over statements made verbally. If you can find a statement in print, other than one made on a message board, that says it was submitted on March 10th, then I would have to agree that there is a strong likely-hood that it was indeed submitted on March 10th.
lol what a ride
That's exactly what I was thinking. Nice to see that all of this selling was unsuccessful in move the stock out of its range; looks like we have real support here @.10
yeah, another 20,400 shares just traded
smart edit ;)
decent volume today but not in the direction desired; any news, or does someone know something early? If not then I am interpreting this as someone reducing their exposure going into the announcement.
nice, thank you
welcome
nice, what service are you using to see UBSS's ask @.10?
your broker isn't showing quotes for all the market makers. use this instead: http://www.otcmarkets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=CTDH
congrats
No, the Wall Street Journal article concerning the application submission was published March 10, 2010. Here is the link to it: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704145904575111790356648482.html But in the last paragraph of this article: http://addiandcassi.com/fda-and-ema-forge-rare-disease-collaboration-announcement-coincides-with-world-rare-disease-day-2010/ by Ms. Hempel herself, dated Feb. 28th, 2010, states that she intends to submit her application for cyclodextrin. Therefore we know for sure that the submission was made after Feb. 28th, but prior to March 10th. Here is a link to the actual application: http://addiandcassi.com/wordpress/~hhempel/addiandcassi/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/NPC-Orphan-Drug-Application-Complete.pdf As you can see it is dated Feb. 26th, 2010. If anyone has the exact date that it was actually submitted and could provide it, that would be most appreciated.
These #'s may not be accurate. It's reading every single 'sell' transaction as a 'short' transaction. It's not distinguishing between the actual 'sells' from 'shorts'. To short a stock it needs to be marginable within that broker or that broker has a relationship with an institution that is willing to loan their shares to that broker (which usually carries a large interest rate to the loan). It's very uncommon for a broker to allow an ob./pk. stock to be marginable or to be held as collateral for margin. Point is, it's more likely that these transactions are 'sells', not 'shorts'.
before the CBOE will list options for CTDH, CTDH will need to be moved to an actual exchange.
There are four requirements a company must meet before its stock can become optionable:
1. The underlying security must be listed on the NYSE, AMEX or the Nasdaq.
2. The closing price must have a minimum per share price for a majority of trading days during the three prior calendar months. (This means it will take AT LEAST three months for IPOs to become optionable, though it's often much longer.)
3. The company must have a minimum of 7,000,000 publicly held shares.
4. The company must have a minimum of 2,000 shareholders.
very interesting trading activity today, new lows for the month, then broke past the short term resistance of .135; I think people are getting anxious regarding the announcement.
Which chart are you looking at? Looking at this chart http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=webchart&btn=s_ok&ihsymbol=&ihpagelist=Quote&idtddm=&symbol=USBB%3ACTDH&s_ok=Get+Chart&period=2&drawmode=2&size=19&volume=1 it has been mostly selling since March 17th, but there has been some buying the last week with the price holding the lower teens. I think too that it's waiting to pop, this has been more of a holding pattern in preparation of the news regarding the Orphan Drug status.
it was low volume today but it's nice to see that it was only buying
nevermind, advfn is already providing it
where are you getting your AH qoutes?
anyone know what happened? I'm thinking insider buying on the open market. Maybe a new employee that is being paid through stock and the company doesn't have it's own shares to give him/her, so they have to buy it on the open market. This scenario is kinda lame and it's just speculation since based on observations from other .pk/.ob stocks, so if anyone knows anything for sure, please post it
Volume picked up to 1.6 million in April due to the Orphan Drug catalyst. April is a time of waiting which is why the volume is so light. Volume should pick up again at the end of the month in anticipation to the announcement. The decision of the FDA on the Orphan Drug application will increase volume and will determine the direction the stock will take in May. Just wait the month out.
Net income improved from a net loss of ($413,232) in 2008 to ($193,127) in 2009.
once this number gets into the positive side substantial institutional interest should be placed into CTDH. With institutions moving into CTDH we will be able to get onto a more liquid exchange like NASDAQ.
The segment regarding the combustion dryer is the most important part of this article though I think, because it provides an additional catalyst for increased interest in CTDH and as a company, the dryer will allow it to fully capitalize the margin potential it has within its existing sales, while its sales volume should go up with positive results from the FDA. With all of this in mind, I am thinking that, even if the stock tops out in the intermediate future, but yet its income stream is still strong, CTD will offer cash dividends to reward its investors.
good job, mine was at .06; I envy the people who were able to get in at the .02-.05 range.
.11/.12 is more preferable, but taking .14/.15 is last resort if you can't get filled on the low end of the range. There are four basic zones in CTDH: .2-.6, .7-.11, .12-16, and .17-.23; the lower the zone the stock is in, the more of your financing capital you want to have available to put into the stock so that the majority percentage of your total financing capital will have been placed in the lower zones. CTDH is in a range, right now is the time to start building a position, and build it correctly. I before tried to tell people that 'money in stocks isn't made in the thinking, but made in the waiting', but they just laughed it off since CTDH finally broke the .20's. Now as you can see, if you waited and not spend all your money at once, you now have the opportunity to add to/build your position in the lower zones, instead of chasing the stock while it was making new highs. Hope that helps.
I think so too, buy on the dips.
yikes, you miss the point/focusing on something other than the point; you're looking for entitlement which you do not have as a shareholder and you're misunderstanding the shareholder/ownership relationship that exists as a shareholder.
Holding stock entitles you to three priviliges: voting rights, dividend payments, and stock buy-back participation. The CEO runs the company. The Chairman of the board is the shareholders' protection against a CEO that is mismanaging the company. In CTDH's case the CEO and Chairman of the board happen to be one and the same person, who also has 17,728,413 shares, being 53% of all of the shares outstanding.
Buy some stock of MCD, and walk into a McDonalds. You're not going to get any better treatment or any free burgers by telling them that you are an 'owner' of McDonalds, just a little embarrassed.
What I am wondering if anyone has any type of realistic projection as to the quantity of Cyclo that will sold during 2010, and what that projection may be.
Thanks!
Cyclo Powder for $5.25 per gram. Any ideas for profit potential?

from the report, they seem to be considering issuing more shares to finance the new research park
"Currently, we are developing a site plan for the research park including survey, engineering and design. The progress of the site plan is contingent on the Company's ability to fund our building plan from operating profits and cash flow. At the conclusion of the site plan, we plan to raise additional capital by offering shares to finance the building construction of the research park."

I just hope that the shares of the new company will be high enough in value so that if I did decide to sell them my commission fee would not be higher than the value of the position itself; a lot of shell companies tend to be in the sub .01 range. Any examples of stocks of shells that have a good price?
OK, I get it, Vistra's spinning off and we are most likely going to get shares of the new company at an unspecified ratio to how many shares of CTDH that we own.
dividends of a
distraction are confusing.
I don't understand it... Vistra's going public and we are to get shares of it?
I agree. If too much info released at the same time with a positive impact on the stock, I anticipate that the stock will simply gap up largely, then meander back down as it's slowly digested, but if the info is slowly released then the will stock trends upward with it, thus establishing stable and orderly points of support.
small floats can work both ways, yes it will take off with good news but it seems people are forgetting that with a small float it can take off to the downside as well. people seem to not acknowlege this fact and only consider the upside, but remember, professions consider the downside first, not the upside. So to keep your money safe, take into consideration and acknowledge the downside first, not the upside. No one yet on this board has ever spoken of the downside, which is unheathly. With reward there is also risk. Over optimission is unheathly, just as over pessimissim. If you only consider the upside, then you are gambling, not money managing.
thank you
REMEMBER THEY STILL HAVE A STOCK PURCHASE PR OUT THERE, who knows
you're saying it was a statement that they may buy the stock back? Do you have a link please, yahoo! isn't maintaining any news links for CTDH issued prior to 2010
