"Trying e-cigarettes increased the odds that a teenager would also try tobacco cigarettes and become regular smokers, the study found."
[color=red][/color]
"Director Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has called the rise of e-cigarette use among teenagers "alarming," because nicotine is still an addictive drug. Frieden also has expressed concern that electronic cigarettes may be a gateway to tobacco cigarettes."

Your commentary on the press release today shows you complete ignorance on the subject matter. If anything...it is "reverse dilution"...since it cancels the "anti-dilution rights" of shareholders...so that they will not be entitled to more shares in order to retain their "percentage ownership" in the company, in the event more shares are issued by the company in the future...
I will be there!
lol...acknowledging your concern and confusion from your own post?
I chose the private message as to not be accused of dumping on DNSY...and concurring with your being "bugged" by the announcement ... as you have chosen not to use discretion and now to bring it public I will address it:
FIRST: ...as YOU state:
"What's bugging me is the announcement that Destiny is now going to start to pursue market survey firms. I thought that was already ongoing, the crawl at the bottom of one of the web pages showed many (50?) logos of firms that I thought were already on board."
I dont think there is anyone on this board who did not believe this marketing campaign wasn't already launched "in full"...based upon email communications to "special" investors...
SECOND:
Another posted noted...
"From Steve's Linkedin profile posted 11 hours ago:
"We're really excited to announce a ground breaking new ad format. It will take the market a while to clue in, but this is going to save the industry a fortune. Now - we just have to sell it. We're looking for help in sales and marketing - if you email me contacts. (Thanks!)"
How much confidence can an investor have in a Marketing Plan the calls for: Hey guys...we need help..." We're looking for help in sales and marketing - if you email me contacts. (Thanks!)"
Hire a dynamo Director of Sales and Marketing and you wont have to beg retail investors for help.
Does this engender institutional confidence and investment?
ps. you are clueless on the point of the French company and other technology approaches biting at the heals of DSNY of some of the same issues and aspects of DSNY's purported market...but really didn't expect you to get it...
Another GREAT newsletter for Van (HTFBS)...on XXII and spiffy...love following the the big bold dots...even a blind man can see. Annual Shareholders meeting should be very enlightening.
Freak'n amazing...so many naive investors...that's why you have so many chasing those sub penny stocks...babes in the woods ready for slaughter by characters like this who portray themselves as knowledgeable with lots of bravado....terrible for those who can least afford being stung!
wouldn't BTI as MMJ partner be a hoot!... it would be the first major tobacco to cross over into MMJ space with proper technology in place...
we would not only get MMJ boost, but take-over speculation and ramp.
...can always muse...
Its all about the stock basing here ...and washing out the daytraders...and the MM games...
low volume and buying support takes them both out of the game...news will bring appreciation (and unfortunately daytraders...if it spikes)
Also agree with some of the sentiment here...HTFBS FORUM on HTFBS site, so it can be restricted to subs!....have my vote...
Takes us away from "disinformation specialist" and permits us to have true discourse...Even have 2 Big stock and newbie forums and DROP HTBFS FORUM on iHUB!...duplicate iHUB on HTFBS for Subs Only...
Not misleading to point out that procrastination brings about the opportunity for new technologies or techniques to erode the base and market premise of an alleged market for the company, especially tech companies.
ps. would never see a RS...it would be devastating to the company's already devastated SP.
Anyone know the % of ownership OVRL has in SPIHF...which is reporting within 2 weeks?
Yes...Boogins...
...isn't interesting when the "Disinformation Team" are all over a company when insider "sells" even a few shares ...when there could be a million reasons unrelated to the company) and...
...its "no big deal" when an insider "buys"...when there can be ONLY ONE REASON...VERY BULLISH and POSITIVE on their own company!
You dont need permission to sue the government...you just need
"standing"
No...only concerned about the barrage of hour by hour distortions and misstatements made by you in an attempt to shake out shares from less seasoned investors...
IMO...intentional deception and distortions is not a trading strategy ...
so I will continue my vigilance... :o)
You left out the most important point in the release:
"On our 30th anniversary in 2012, because of our continued growth, Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company became big enough to be a reportable business segment for Reynolds American."
volume getting lower...good for base...nice to establish a base here leading up to April 12th when IMHO...there will be plenty of news...to satisfy your appetite...
Ryboi...I think you are right...more that line up on the bid ...and dont buy the ask...the MM lose their manipulative control...and weak hands see support and less likely to sell...
In addition...bore the traders...nothing to scalp or makes it more difficult and risky.
Two can play the flashing game too... if they fill it low...great too..
MM trying so hard to contain at $3.30...they continuously flash in coordination their 100 shares on the ASK to draw weak longs shares out at $3.30...then so on and so on...
They have their "signals" to each other...which they dont even try to hide...I had a list at one time...but the flashing of 100 share is the basic one..post it, take it off immediately several times and they are calling for more MM's to post 100 shares as a hopefull wall to contain the SP going higher....
pure manipulation of foolish retail investors...
Hey...they should show Folly with a cig in his mouth...that would engender trust and confidence in the brand!...lol...
Who buys cigs from a website? No one knows what campaign they will have...after all their Executive team launched one of he most successful new brands in the past...IMHO...More focused targeted campaign will be used.
But hey ... now the "pounders" are Marketing Experts?
Ryboi...plus by end of trading day tomorrow ... almost all of margin will be have to have covered...and that is another arrow in their quiver they would have lost...
IMHO..once trading settles down...we will also lose daytraders interest and our move up will be more steady and gradual.
Hang tough!
Investors are waiting...traders are afraid...
More like another big GOV. Bureaucracy ... have to swim through the mud...
Another FACTUAL MISTATEMENT...by a Folly....
COMPANY: "We DO NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL RAISE"....to carry out business Plan.
You already know there is a Marketing Plan..and that plan does not require raising funds to implement ....
Your attempt to drive down SP is becoming egregious, and blatantly manipulative.
correction...NAAG not holding up MSA or anything...just a very cumbersome process...it will run its course...patience
They always have it on Saturday...hey...Monday thru Friday you want them working their butts off for you!
I would not be the least concerned...XXII Management runs their own ship...IMHO...IR just a buffer to buttress them from annoying investors and to put out news WHEN THEY ARE READY...
by law by cannot give any info out that is not already in public so they can only give vanilla info...you already have access to.
the important response from an AG was NC's who gave the company a very positive reading...ergo...MSA ...acceptance shortly
perhaps someone should offer someone in high office a free e-cigs supply to support his nicotine addiction ...
Least ANYONE forgets, or hasn't done DD:
The company has 5-7 revenue models. (market in red)
1. Two “modified risk” cigarette candidates for F.D.A. clearance: BRAND A, a very low nicotine (VLN) cigarette and BRAND B, a very low tar-to-nicotine product (Modified Risk Products)... $80B U. S. and $700B globally. (PM study noted 90% of smokers would try MRP in attempt to cut risk from smoking...a Marketing Dream...users of product searching for yours)
2. A prescription smoking cessation aid in development (X-22)...$1.5B U. S. and $4B globally (without even addressing spin-off to Big Pharma partner...perhas PhaseI partner...Pfizer?)
3. Super premium cigarettes (Red Sun® and Magic®) …just 1% of the premium U.S. market is valued more than $1B – Lorillard (NYSE: LO) only sells cigarettes in the U.S.; has 14% market share and $15B market cap. (XXII signaled marketing and distribution already in place)
4. Huge licensing opportunities (105 patents in 78 countries and 38 patent applications) to both Big Pharma (prescription X-22) and Big Tobacco (technology and tobaccos for modified risk tobacco products...Multibillion dollar opportunity (least some forget the $14M from British American Tobacco already committed)
5. Medical Marijuana research and product development? ...using established research and resulting technologies from tobacco (since major XXII scientist already involved in MMJ research)
6. A 5-year U.S. government contract with NIDA, a department of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to sell its SPECTRUM® research cigarettes that contain various nicotine levels (from very low to high).
7. Other Revenue Stream opportunity...published in last private Chardan Report. (not public)
New regulations could make XXII a monopoly
the real question is what was support and resistance coming into today?
...I am sure it blew through resistance and then some today...until last 1/2 hour...
it could do same tomorrow...or base...very easily
Disagree...it is a disingenuous question, when with a little DD one can find it addressed in CEO commentary...And he is looking for "the" plan...cant find it...therefore it doesn't exist...Company is ill-prepared...as though APPLE has its business and marketing plan on its web site.
As pointed out ... he tries to set up straw man questions to create doubt with the intention of shaking weak hands so he can buy back lower...
To believe he has any sincerity and believing he is Mr. Goodie Two-shoes... is a bit naive...Folly could have auditioned for the role as "Walter White"...same act.
Your statements have proven otherwise...therefore your motives become fair game with every post you make.
Your becoming laughable...when calling out the CEO as creating a falsehood on his representations that they do not NEED to do any further financing to carry out their business plan...but offended that anyone would question your motives...implying that your comments are intended to be "enlightening" and "altruistic"!
Remember...you disclosed you sold...and want to trade the stock...so where do you want us to believe you want the stock to go?
Ps. How much more embarrassment do you want to bring upon yourself about the company and management?
1. No business plan?...because you could not find it? (as if they would publish it?)
2. No marketing plan for Reds...when already addressed by CEO
3. Co must have to raise money...when CEO addressed and other sources of substantial revenue coming in this year..but you dont know because you havent read Chardan's reports and esp. last one.
Yes...each statement you make will only be in support of your "trading" position and be fundamentally disingenuous ...are you long or short today?, sold/buyback today?...its all about your personal position...not the fundamentals of the company...
Depends on the day and the wind.
Company address that issue: "No capital raise required"...they obviously have a plan different from what you imagine they should do. I would bet on their plan.
Because it is a question...the only value of which is to create doubt...It could have been a question when he purchased originally...but it wasn't ...because it was not of his concern because the company has so many positive pillars holding it up. If he did not short, then he is out and wants it back cheaper...
that is the motivation behind the question...otherwise..Why is he here? No position...No short...why bother? Obviously not a genuine concern...its a disingenuous question...Nor is it mine...
IMHO...April 12 news and company developments will this blow them away...
Plug went up yesterday on "new win" news from CEO comment...as it did around the 7th on news that they expected to triple revenue...both IMHO...are borderline bogus...
The CEO intimated yesterday that it was getting an new contract in the automotive industry...it went up almost 40% in one day...it came down 25% today when it was learned the reference was to Fork lifts ...not automobiles!...a bit of a scam...
point is ... all its stock gyrations have been on NEWS hype...XXII a different animal story..
The critique on his speech is that it borders on "delusional" and "out of touch" with reality...
so then we have another million short?...that would be nice.
margin clerks dump at mkt..you get a cpl mkt sell orders at same time...mm lets them come in margin clerks dump at mkt..
margin has 3 days to cover...soon covering will be over
