At least I would certainly hope so .... LOLOL
Well Rick, hope you don't mind, but I opened an account for you ... only funded yours with $500,000.00 ... with the 3% requirement, you will be able to short naked a little over $16.5 MM ... this is the group that is alleged to have sorted FAKE and FOOL-M to the tune of a quarter of a billion ....
Offshore Fund Opens Naked Shorting to Average Investor
ONS Financial, an offshore financial services company located in the British Virgin Islands makes naked shorting of OTC-BB and Pink Sheet Stocks available to average investors through a new hedge fund.
(PRWEB) April 1, 2004--ONS Financial, a complete offshore financial services company domiciled in the British Virgin Islands announced today that it is making a new hedge fund available to ordinary investors.
ONS Financial spokesman and general counsel Andrew Kramer said of the new fund:"Recent NASD and proposed SEC regulations are intended to drastically curtail the ability of investors to take naked short positions in OTC-BB and Pink Sheet stocks. We think this is unfair, as it blocks people from the fabulous profit opportunities available from this investment strategy. To combat this we have formed the Offshore Naked Short Fund, a hedge fund that ordinary, middle class guys and gals can participate in for a nominal initial investment. In addition," Kramer continued,"the NASD left a huge loophole open because of its inability to regulate trades between non-NASD members. We expect the Chicago Exchange to become a major naked short Mecca."
As Kramer explained the fund, it will be able to circumvent the new restrictions on naked shorting by utilizing banking and brokerage agreements in former Soviet republics such as Estonia and Lithuania, and by using trades between US and Canadian brokers who are not NASD members. "These venues recognize the importance of this investment strategy," said Kramer. "And they will work with us on a 3% margin basis, giving us the opportunity for fantastic leverage on our annual returns."
ONS Financial also offers a complete package of offshore services, including confidential offshore banking, an international VISA debit card, and confidential brokerage, explained Kramer. "We want to be a one-stop offshore shopping center," he commented.
When asked if the activity ONS was proposing was legal Kramer responded:"Everything we do is legal within the countries in which we operate. The United States is trying to deny individual investors the fantastic annual returns they can expect from naked shorting. We fill that gap. Our private funds shorting companies such as PCBM, USXP, and JAGMA have averaged 2000% a year returns."
Persons wishing to open new Offshore Naked Short accounts can do so at the company's website:

According to BP India still makes the best curry.
Welcome back thalio-san ... lol ... you are always welcome to show up and bring the kind of news that came down last night ...
Chen and the scientific team just continue to prove to be true geniuses ... or is it genuii? I honestly believe that someday (possibly within only a few years) we will see Yin as a recepient of a Nobel prize. The combined innovation and efforts by He and Haryln building on the work of Conrad, Skillern, etal lust continue tp be ... uh, well, to speak scientifically ... MIND-BLOWING.
Say Rick (and anyone else willing to venture a guess), a question that comes to mind immediately is the time factor. The vector would have to introduce the action in the cells almost immediately after detection and diagnosis. Or am I missing the boat here?
I have never seen any info published concerning the time element in expression. Our treatment is not like the antibiotic approach. Even when using antibiotics, you can not wait until terminality is in sight before administering them. There is a need for 'lead time' to allow them to become effective before the patient dies ... right?
This may indicate that the prophylactic approach is preferred.
.The "Super Detergent / Soap" for employees washing.
Rick, as I think you are aware, I have been most interested the use of the vector as applied to shrimp and other crustacean diseases for several years. The economic disasters that have resulted from infestations have literally wiped out some of the worlds largest shrimp resources.
When I last discussed this with the holder of the license and with another person who has done research into the field, we noted that the only remaining obstacle is the delivery method. That will be solved in time ... maybe that is the reason that I can be very patient. I've seen a lot of progress in the field and believe that it will be solved while I am still young enough to enjoy those barbequed yabbies. LOL
It would be geat to see research performed in the entire fish arena. In spite of some of the jokes from the early days, solving the major problems in both fish and crustacians alone would make our stock very valuable ... not to mention the benefits for mankind.
As for the equine market, it alone would provide a considerable jump in PPS if the announcement that the anti-inflamatory treatment has been proven. Research continues in the performance horse arena (pun intended) and hopefully it should get another kick start one of these days.
It may be a while before the botanicals start getting attention, but those possibilities are just as staggering as the zoological apps. All it is going to take is time, hard reasearch and .... of course ... the financing.
Scoob and the thread, Thalio's failure to have been posting has nothing whatsoever to do with anything that has been posted on this thread. He'll be back on soon. We should have a chance to be doing what he is doing ... LOLOL
Scoob, discussing the history of any organization can be very helpful, especially if it can be a factor in preventing mistakes from recurring.
And, some of the folks who have expressed reservation about various aspects of the history of this corporaiton just may have known a little more than you are willing to give them credit for. They may have also done some of the things you suggest.
The bottom line is that Chin and others have refined a unique technology that very well may have the potential to literally change the face of medicine. It hasn't been done yet and needs more verification of applicability. Most of us here here believe that is going to come ... the main question being 'when' it will come. But Scoob, it ain't here, YET.
Unless someone is spouting your exact thoughts and stated line, you have a nasty habit of attacking them and of distorting what they have said and done. This is hurting the company. You could be a very great asset if you will just concentrate on presenting new facts and reviewing history in a candid, accurate and unhyped manner. Oh, humor is fine, healthy and uplifting.
Rick ... uh ... well ... can you tell .... I'm so confused .... I heard about the Janet pound and a half of silicon thingy and can't understand why the big fuss ... we have all seen a Jackson family boob on TV for several years ... matter of fact, we've seen several of them ... and;
about the Ben and J-lo thingy you mention ... does that mean that Ben and Jerry's High is still around ... or is benandjlo some kind of secret code ....
Can any of the above listed examples of proteins gone astray be treated with the CYGX victor ...
This is just like my childhood hero ... one of the world's greatest metrologists and all we'll remember is "Murphy's Law."
Then Janet flashes her right boob and meanwhile it's the greatest SuperBowl ever maybe but they will always remember it for Janet's right boob.
Scooby, you need to learn to understand what you are reading. Point out where I have ever said that anyone needs to be fired. I can't find any of my posts that say that. I haven't made even one post where I have said that anyone needs to be brought back, although I do feel that one person could still be of assistance.
And I have even suggested that the area in which I feel we are the weakest could be shifted to a position where he could continue to be of benefit, you know, like shifting a Wide Receiver to a Defensive Back position. The greatest Flanker probably would not be an All Pro as a Fullback.
Interesting that you use the term "sleeping dogs." Eventually they do awaken and can bite. Remember that little quarter of a million loan? Same with giving a dog a swift kick. And, if you hold out a doggie biscuit for Rover to roll over or shake hands, you'd better give him that scooby treat or you may darn well find new teeth marks on your wrist.
Scoob, you really should cease posting half truths and outright lies and distortions. It is great to be excited over what we have in this technology, but hey, dude, it carries its own weight without any embellishment. Hyping and stuff about 'going to the moon' and 'if you love your grandkids, you'll mortgage the farm' doesn't help anything. It's still a long trip.
Most of the posters seem to understand that we had better be in for the long haul. We think there is a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, but you do great harm with posting an unending stream of hype that has yet to be correct.
BTW: rather hollow apology for a post that should not have been made.
Okay downreg, you've hit several nails on the head. It is difficult to come up with a more childish phrase than, if you don't like it, then you should be doing it yourself." It is obvious that few of us could do it and even far less likely that we would be afforded the opportunity to do so, even if we had those talents, contacts and abilities.
That childishness is only exceeded by the phrase, "If you don't like the way "X" is doing things, then just sell your stock and shut up." This is a publicly owned corporation and as such, business must be conducted in the prescirbed manners. A cursory review of another debacle that featured that "my way or the highway" mentality was Fast Eddie and his cronies at Enron. I don't think CYGX wantsto take that approach.
Some folks like to criticise some folks who are no longer active in management. By Gawd, without a few of them, the company would have been buried long ago. I can remember watching a couple of them literally fund day-to-day operations and work without compensation ... especially after an early fiasco. And, a couple of them realized that they had reached the limit of their ability to contribute and left, or at least filled different roles as best they could.
One of your examples demonstrates an example of someone giving their best effort, but not having sufficient ability, contacts and understanding to have produced a far better result. When a wide receiver is giving it his best effort and just can't score ... now that's the time to worry and look for someone else to whom to throw. A rookie may be able to make small gains, but then coach will start considering his options ... he may move the WR to another position where his talents are better utilized and try to find a Jerry Rice to put in his spot.
We can talk about what MIGHT be if this test is good or that product is brought to market, but that is all pure speculation. We need to be mindful that many of the projections made on these many threads are based more on a desire for an outcome than on a well reasoned analysis of the available information.
My lord, nobody wants to see us at $10.00 per share than this old geezer. I'll just take my millions and drift away and start trying see that my money and breath depart simultaneously. My kids and grandkids will be very comfortable and that's all I owe them ... LOL
Sorry for the tirade, but ... well ... there is ALWAYS room for improvement.
The comment that a few posters have made ?without these actions we wouldn?t be here today? assumes that we are at the best possible place or that other decisions would have put cygx out of business. That?s big assumption. There is an equal, if not better, chance that we could be much better off if different decisions were made or different funding found.
Malcolm explained the delay in releasing it, but it could have been easily missed. CYGX was informed that the grant has been approved either that day or the day before. Although he didn't specify, it could have been telephonically. That would, of course, qualify it to be passed along to shareholders, but if he follows his usual course, it will not be put into a PR until it is received in writing.
Also, I don't think much has been made of his discussion of the seeking the formation of strategic alliances. Several of the oldtimers around here have questioned and pushed for greater emphasis to be placed on seeking such. Very good to hear him say they will push harder for them. The technology should now be in a position to be far more attractive, thanks to Yen and his gang.
Just a side note: one of the reasons that the proposals passed with the margins they did was that there was not any organized effort to block them and there was little opportunity to offer any form of alternative. If we see continued progress, it is doubtful that we will see any effort to organize such a group.
Where is the grant announcement?
Hey Arnold, Scoob and Beau are starting to get me worried. A few posts back they presented the contention that without the authorization to double the shares, we might witness the demise of CYGX.
THEY JUST HAVE TO BE WRONG.
If they are right, then we are in very serious trouble, because I still can't get anyone to explain why a doubling of the authorized shares is preferrable to simply doing a 2 for 1, or even a 3 for 1 split ... and doing it before any available options are exercised. Some of us seem to forget that we're also being asked to authorize an amount of shares equal to a third of the currently authorized amount in addition to the amount being doubled. So in the end, we are actually being asked to: 1) ratify the unilateral decision the board made when they previously increased the authorized number of shares, 2) to double that authorization, and 3)throw in yet an additional 50,000,000 shares for use as bonuses and incentives ..... hmmmmmmm. Help me with the math, but after the 50MM shares are authorized for those incentives, how will those 50MM shares compare to the current value of the shares currently issued.
I am actually having a chuckle at their question as to why those of us who question any of the boards desires don't present a strategic financial plan of our own. Aren't Scoob and his puppetmaster the ones who have been telling us that if we don't like what CYGX is doing, then we should just sell our stock and butt out.
Scoob, glad to see you posting more solid documentable information instead of speculation. Now, how about posting the latest update of those figures and not something that is ... well ... just history.
Remember, I have been in this stock when it was $3.00 and when it was mere pennies and followed the action very close and closely.
You make an extremely relevant point when you state, "We are going to continue to rise but it will take a good deal with good money tied to it to get this company stoked up. It is going to need that and we can't raise it with these dime-a-pop private placements to the annointed few. Well, I guess we can buy more time if we increase the number of shares and then sell them, and based on proven history, that is the only way we seem to know to raise money. If it is, we need someone with the right resume and rolodex to sit down with the folks who can make our dreams come true.
And this, if true, may well be the scariest point you have ever made ... It is time for the guys to make those stock options worth hundred's of millions for them. They will have the incentive and have the will to succeed. Wow, if that's the reason we have not done better with financing, then there needs to be another house cleaning among those responsible for finances. I can't see Lawrence being happy with you stating that he isn't doing his best, but that he will get all the things done that need doing if we approve those stock options. If that is the case, you can bet I'll vote our shares and those for which I hold proxies against them and that will just be the beginning.
And I'm shocked at your statement that, "Decisions they make maybe right or wrong but always take time to show up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they paid to not only show up, but to perform and accomplish their tasks to advance the corporation?
Chin may well be one of the great minds of our time and Malcolm has been and will be one of the leaders in his field. Chin deserves one h&ll of a lot more to work with and we deserve him to have it. God only knows where his research and imagination will lead us. Well, it will lead us higher if we can afford to have him continue his outstanding work. Think we will get there with dime-a-pop PPs's?
Whatzamatter Scoob? Is someone having difficulty getting the votes together to ram the proposals down everyones throat? Have some folks started rescinding their proxies?
Don't you feel it is a little hypocritic to babble about others showing courtesy? What ever happened to your repeating the arrogant attitude that, "If others don't like everything being done as it is being done by whoever is doing it, then we should just sell our stock and get out." hmmmmm ... has anyone ever heard that from a company official or are you just initiating it?
Where is all of your "We're going to the moon with this baby" hype? Have you ever been right about anything in the arena of prices and progress?
How about your posting some real facts instead of ambiguous hype? Why not start with giving us a detailed resume of our CFO and showing where our funding and more importantly the planning for it has been even competent? Want to explain why we were in such a bind that we had to make that deal with Bunker? Better yet, explain why we then ended up not being able to hang on to the 10% share?
Oh, wait, am I forgetting that we shareholders have no right to question actions and then expect candid answers? And don't start babbling about my having an agenda ... of course I have one and it is to see our company thrive and prosper.
Do you want to tell me that I have no right to question a proposal that is going to half the value of my stock and also create even more stock that is going to be passed out at a fraction of the price?
Are you going to tell me that I have no right to question the competence of someone whose salary I contributed to via private placements?
You may be content fulfilling the role of messenger boy and being a chauvinist, but very few of us shareholders will take that job.
Hey Rick, you ask some very good questions. I have known you for a long time and know that you are a strong proponent of CYGX, so I KNOW you are not bashing. You always ask questions that have an end goal of building the company and eventually proving the science.
Kevb sent an interesting post to me on the RB Board.
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=CYGX&read=12712
Do you know if a shareholder vote is required to increase the number of authorized shares? If we need more shares, would you prefer an increase in the number of shares authorized or a 2 for 1 split? And WHY? And, can you show me anything we shareholders have to gain? Is there any benefit to the increase to offset the fact that management is cutting our value in half?
None of the shares I have acquired are voting until we get to the meeting and hear the arguments put forth by current management and hopefully from someone on the other side of each issue ... at least I hope there will be someone there to ask some questions and possibly offer alternatives. A company without some good old fashioned 'devils advocates' is almost without exception doomed to either failure or only a very minor modicum of sucess. Those who present an alternative are not bashers, although on this thread they frequently get blasted by those who are errand boys and messenger boys. Companies who try to operate without having both sides of the story presented are usually ran by people who shouldn't be running them - lolol.
BTW, have you ever asked anyone why we have not obtained some heavyweight grants from NIH, etal. I haven't asked in avery long time.
Well, off to do some basketball and get ready for the football games tomorrow and Sunday.
You are absolutely correct. A 2 for 1 split would be to OUR benefit. It looks to this old geezer like the issue of more shares will do nothing more to help us longtime shareholders, but will enure only to the benefit of the folks who will be holding those stock options - especially those at $ .18. I'm rather frustrated with all of these dilutions in stock ownership. It wasn't all that long ago when our holding had no zeros between the decimal and the first number was on the left side.
I'm still studying the entire packet, but starting to get a little concerned over some of the proposals. Once again, we are faced with a board loaded with management and I still do not think that is good for our economic health. We need a board with our CEO on it and then outsiders for the other positions ... especially someone with a solid history and RECORD in finances and in fund-raising.
Can someone explain to me how the shares were issued when the last authorization was made. How was the CFO authorized to issue the shares if they had not been authorized? I remember hearing something about that a while back, but do not remember the details. Maybe I'll remember this weekend - LOLOL.
Irrelevant of how you voted, you can always change that vote if you change your mind. Certainly not saying anyone should change their mind, but just reminding us that the option is always there.
And, if you haven't got your fix of football and need a little more than the BIG game Sunday, tune in www.tsrnsports.com starting about noon Saturday for the Global Junior Championship medal round (Japan, Russia and Mexico) ... and Championship game between Team Canada and Team USA. There will be at least a couple of CYGX shareholders behind the mic's ... lol
Good report. Yes that was the new office building in the background for the outside shots and the inside appears to have been in the lab and in Malcolm's office. It was short on info about CYGX and didn't mention the stock symbol or that the stock traded on the OTCBB, but it is excellent exposure and we could use all of that we can get.
It was ironic to see the story on Anne Miller follow it. She was a Houstonian. Got to visit with her twice after dinner theater shows. Great dancer and a very bubbly personality.
Although it is good to see the company getting publicity, I would have rather had this come after the completion of the current round of tests. There will be bumps in the road and it is always better to have those behind us. Malcolm and I think alike on the issues of caution in announcements, so maybe he is confident enough to start getting more of the word out. Sure hope so.
Scooby, I really take offense at your post. While it is true that I believe that we have one very weak link in our structure, I have always supported CYGX to the fullest, and have invested in it from the very beginning. If being as objective as possible (something you have never been accussed of) is bashing, then I indeed plead guilty.
I have supported this company and fought on its behalf for many years. Where were you when we were under daily attack by bashers who indeed succeeded in beating us down? I don't recall you offering any defense for the company. I spent many months in getting an agreement with those bashers and detractors, and basically used only the truth about the vector.
Although I enjoy your enthusiasm, I can find no era in which you have ever made objective posts. Rah-Rah is okay, but you seem dedicated to the osterich theory of just not acknowledging anything that is either amiss or could be handled better. To read your posts, one would be led to believe that EVERYTHING is operating at optimum efficiency. That is just not true. Of course, it is not true with any other business entity in the world.
Yes, I still dislike the idea of having more than one active corporate employee on the Board of Directors. My belief is that it should be the CEO and that he should NOT be Chairman of the Board, but be there to take direction from the Board.
If I were a basher of this company, believe me I would have long ago made an attack that would have been felt.
CYGX is sitting on the threshold of a "bold new world" and may very well have the key to the future of the entire practice of medicine ... both for homo sapiens and other mammals.
I don't mind being attacked as you attacked me, but for crying out loud, at least do it in an honest manner and be factual.
That was during a very interesting episode in the CYGX Saga ... it explains how Bunker Hunt became a beneficial owner of 10% of an ever growing number of patent applications, and why many of us are totally opposed to increasing the number of shares authorized.
In reading my proxy this caught my eye. tried to google it with no result so can someone who has been around explain?
"The Company entered into an agreement with HEMCO Onshore L.L.C.("Hemco")on april 6, 2001 in order toobtain $250000 of working capital. the note issued in exchange for the $ 250,000 has been paid in full by the company. Pursuant to this agreement the company assigned to Hemco an undivided 10 % ownership interest in (i) all of the US and International patents and patent applications owned by the company and (II) any US or international patent obtained, or patent application filed, after apr 6 2001 based on the intellectual property described in claus (1) of this sentence. The company has the right to acquire from Hemco the foregoing 10% interest for $1,000,000 until Apr. 6, 2003.
Actually Bunky is NOT on the board ... the B.O. stands for Beneficial Owner. Sat with him at a shareholders meeting a couple of years ago ... very interesting story behind how he acquired his interest, but far too long to tell now.
Thanks for rethinking the seating arrangements, Scooby ... I suggest that seating be predicated on the length of time a person has been a shareholder. In that case, both 9ty9 and I have a shot at the head table. That would be nice for us because normally I get stuck over in the furthest corner and 9ty9 is seated on the back steps of the kitchen. ROFL@myself. You might also consider factoring in their number of shares and how many posts they make and the number of boards they post on and how often they visit with Malcolm and Yin ... I understand that the software to make those rankings is readily available from the folks who brought us the BCS for college football.
If you or anyone else has an input, I'm more than willing to listen. Let me know what you think.
Seriously, todays news about sepsis comes close to being earthshaking ... only greater news would be that the concept has been proven. This may well prove to be a billion dollar solution to a multibillion dollar problem. If the first round of tests prove the proposal (and I think they will) then we are going to see something closely akin to a rocket launch insofar as PPS is concerned.
What do you think about the fearless, brave hero Saddam being taken without a shot fired ... hiding in a hole like a rat ... proved he was really a champion, didn't he .... congratulations to every member of the Armed Forces and especially to President Bush on the fulfillment of his promise ...
Looks like Ronnie was right ... YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE.
Osama Bin Laden is next on the list ....
Rick, Thalio and anyone else that is interested, I had my get together with Malcolm (and Lawrence) this morning. For the most part, it was a rehash of various announcements made by the company previously. The new 'digs' are very nice ... even the temporary area they now occupy while waiting for the completion of the build-out of the labs and space they will ultimately occupy.
Both were extremely emphatic in denying that there have been any leaks. When directly confronted, both strongly stated that they have not had and do not have any relationships whatsoever with anyone who has access to any confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the corporation except those which are of a contractual nature and those are covered by confidentiality agreements that would preclude insider information from being 'leaked' to individuals or companies such as those which have claimed insider information. So much for the sushi claims.
Also, I did ask some questions which would have been construed as asking for 'insider' information. There was a polite declination to answer those. LOLOL
Bunker Hunt is a Beneficial Owner and that is the reason he must be listed. Those who have been around for a few years understand that situation. Of course, it seems good to have a heavyweight like him holding an interest such as he holds.
Both stressed that the increase in authorized shares is more of a step towards being ready for eventualities instead of being for specific scenarios which have evolved. Their stated attitude is that it is better to be prepared with shares which are not needed rather than not having them if they are needed.
Had the opportunity to congratulate both Yin and Harilyn on their latest work and discoveries. Both are as exhuberant as ever and will probably be working thru the holidays. Now, that is important. My sneakey questions designed to elicit some 'good info' didn't get to first base. My guess (and this is pure speculation on my part) is that the 'science section' of our investment is going far better than anyone is saying, and what has been said is pretty darned near to earthshaking, in my opinion.
Well, that leads to the question of whether I learned any specifics that will make me run out and mortgage the farm to increase my holdings. The answer remains that I won't do that. However, if the question is, "Will we continue to add a little here and there," then the answer remains an emphatic YES.
Some of those bits of good news may actually be the problem ... historically, when good news is announced, the PPS drops .... maybe we need some of Dell's internationally acclaimed cold brewed coffee ... lol ... when he realized that he had carried things as far as he could and that the job had outgrown him, he had the moxey to resign and make way for someone capable of taking things to a higher level ...
Spoke to Malcolm this morning and we are having coffee on Thursday ... I'll get back to you with the results and any new info I can glean ... especially interested in the hopes for Sea Biscuit, Trigger and Silver ... lol
From studying the boards, I am wondering if we are seeing more than a little bit of MM games and possibly some good old fashioned naked shorting, or if not naked, at least the bermuda shorts variety ... IF the price is being purposely driven down (and that may not be so big an IF), I'm not going to assist by dumping any of my shares.
As you know, I have first hand knowlege that the darned stuff works ... AND THAT WAS SEVERAL GENERATIONS AGO IN THE DEVELOPMENT CYCLE.
Hey Rick (or Thalio or someone), maybe you can answer the question I posed to scooby ... what is the downside to having some large pharma take over the corp. Or, for that matter where do we investors get hurt by a take-over, hostile or not? Seems that only those in management would stand to lose anything, and wouldn't a large outfit bring the financial expertise and resources that we seem to need?
Do you think that the increase in shares is primarily to prevent such a take over? Do you see that announcement of the desire to increase the share authorization as a factor in the recent price drop?
BTW, I drove by 3100 Wilcrest ... nice digs. They are just as easy to get to as the old ones ... a little closer to I-10. Was any reason ever offered for the move in the first place?
Hey Scooby ... I'm just curious why we shareholders should have a great fear of a hostile takeover ... I can understand some of the folks in management having nightmares about such an event, but if some large outfit wants us badly enough to jump thru the hoops to take us over, wouldn't they also want to keep such folks as Yen and Harylin and move the science forward and have the resources to probably invest what is really needed?
And, even more importantly, couldn't they bring the financial expertise and resources we seem to always be needing?
BTW - had my first flare up around the ankles ... almost four years ... and I'm not even a horse .... LOLOL ... have a good one.
