No they set up a so-called "line of credit" as it were.We are all speculating here and I make no claims otherwise.Leo has always been extremely frugal with the finances and knowing and watching him as I have over the last 3+ years I have to give him the benefit of the doubt and get over it.He has been extremely forthcoming and trustworthy.With that said I have to believe he is prepping the books for upcoming events.If he were to be untrustworthy it would have occured back when the SP was $.20-$.50 per share.All IMHO
Kelt
I'm probably WAAAY off base but I am assuming CTIX needs to fatten the bank account to show that they have the funds to pay for upcoming trials as well as the costs for uplisting and although not needed till 2014,the processes of clearing those hurdles are likely underway by now.Just my WAG,,BWDIK
Kelt
Hi Ovi,I tried to send you an email Re:CTIX but got an error message.Can you send me an email to seamous_james@yahoo.com and I'll reply to it?
Thanks,Kelt
While chasing Dr's and appointments regarding my cancer situation , I have watched numerous posts about the lack of news lately.Whining about SP and the imminent plunge of the SP because of the "dreaded death cross".
CTIX is fine with or without any of us.None of us are crucial to the success of CTIX.If we sell,others will fill the void.
Either hold, or trade and accumulate more but don't complain about managerial decisions regarding new additions to the pipeline or P delays.MGT is doing their job.We are just investors.Investors are a necessary pain in the ass of most companies.They wouldn't have investors if they could finance things privately.
Either sell and get out or hold,accumulate and shut up.CTIX will do fine without us otherwise.
Kelt
Hey Bun.I talk to him fairly often.He's been busy taking care of non-related business and has been watching the CTIX and other boards but otherwise too busy.He'll be back.
Kelt
What's the latest on the imminently expected data update PR?
Any clues?
Kelt
At least someone's guarding the fort while all the AWOL's are off partying :0
Kelt
Boy talk about a ghost town here
Kelt
Just popped in to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.Hope everyone
has a great day.
Kelt
58,wind&sea,Pete,Even and all the others,please accept my thanks for all your services to our country.You made this country great.Let's stay together and keep it great.
Kelt
Hi Teed.Haven't heard back from you.Can you send me an email to seamous_james@yahoo.com
I have something to share with you as well and would be interested in your opinion.
This may help while waiting for a CTIX PR.
Kelt
It was my understanding that DF was covering the costs for their trials and Pfizer was covering costs for the BI trials.
Kelt
Hi Pete.Since DF is paying for the trials (NOT CTIX),they control the news flow.
Kelt
Give or take a nickel it should trade sideways as longs will be anticipating news and holding.Traders will cause ripples but nothing drastic.Small up and down moves (lunch money).
Except for a couple of spikes in May and July it essentially traded sideways.Remember we are now where we would have been a year ago had Formatech not POOPED the bed.They caused a one year delay and 2013 would have been a great year.Also no one realized the control that Dana Farber would have over news releases.That will come to a conclusion in 2014 also.
Kelt
I'm sorry to hear that.I hope all works out for for and your family.
Please email me at seamous_james@yahoo.com
I appreciate anything you can send.Also if you could PM Pontoon and share my email I'd appreciate it.
Kelt
I still agree with Pete.But as I have said many times in the past,"Leo is Leo".You don't know what cards he is going to play or when he is going to play them.
This stock won't crash because Leo is a "Master" at keeping people on the edge of their seats.
Either way I look to 2014 as a very productive year regardless of what happens from now to EOY.
Kelt
Overall I agree with your assessment.Between the holidays is always tough.First 2 weeks after Thanksgiving maybe but that's about it.
No "Big $" moves this close to end of year.
Kelt
What tumor and therapy are you referring to?
I'm dealing with Ca therapy myself.Are you OK?
Kelt
To the WWW ("Ar"& L9") Federation"Tag Team",I'll repost here.
To give credit to most of the people on this board,I don't think that they are dizzy from the "spinning".They know why they invested here.They know and understand the science and credentials of the management.
I don't believe that anyone came here to just hear fairy tales.PR's are just being crafted to put the info in a format that lay people can grasp easier than just using "science-speak" that most would require an interpreter to decipher.I myself recommended that to Leo 2 years ago.
The language in the PR's is straight-forward enough.Nothing "libelous" or illegal.
Some may be here for "humanitarian" reasons,supporting a company for a cause.But I guarantee all are here for one reason if nothing else and that is to be on board with a promising company before it becomes a household name and reap rewards that will be transformational,as were early Apple investors.
I am excited about my investment here and the possibilities.Companies like this are hard to find without help and then to get in the right place before "liftoff".
Anyone who says differently in my book "Speaketh falsely and the TRUTH is not in him".
Kool-Aid? No just healthy optimism by those who understand the fundamentals,did their DD and are knowingly taking the risk.If one can't get excited about an investment,take up macrame or basket weaving.
BTW I've been here for 3 years and I don't drink Kool Aid.(Scotch and Guinness,yes)

Pfizer is there and you can bet they are keeping an eye on whoever shows any interest in CTIX.
Kelt
That's what I will be looking for also.
Kelt
No this is it Pete.Onward and upward. :)
Kelt
It also seems like we're finding a "bottom" on the IHUB ISCO board.
One post so far today :/
Kelt
You could share them with me you know.:0
Kelt
NR I've known you on other boards.Yes you never appear to be fully convinced.
But from my observations you are a trader at heart and aren't inclined to "Marry" any particular stock anyway.
That is neither good or bad.It is what it is.We all have our strategies.
We have agreed a few times and we have sparred a few times but that doesn't take away the fact that you are very intelligent and talented at what you do and I won't dispute that.
That is why I don't expect you to know or study a company's science in depth enough to want to "marry"them anyway.
This and the other companies (we are both associated with)have the science,the product pipeline and fundamentals (building more and more in their favor).IMO the only item left to convince you should be the management(s).Lousy companies with great management can still be successful.Great companies with lousy management go belly up.We've both seen them.
Know the science and focus on the management.If one still remains unconvinced,it is because one refuses to be convinced.Just go ahead and trade them based on TA.
Remember that if you are not convinced to go Long,you ARE convinced to stay out or trade it.Either way,you are fully convinced of something , one way or another.
Hope all is well.

"so the enigma again is either were undervalued or they're overvalued"
Out of the mouths of babes.
The stem cell industry and enthusiasts do not realize yet the magnitude of ISCO and the inferiority of the state of affairs in the industry.
They have not reached the end of the "blind alley" they are in.They and their shareholders will find out , too late,that they took a wrong turn.ISCO's science is way superior.If you are not convinced,then re-examine it.ISCO is the "Cadillac" and the others are Mopeds.
Kelt
They're missing "Parthenogenic".As such they do not have the IP to do what ISCO and BTX are capable of.They are outdated and "don't know it yet".
They cannot do what ISCO can do no matter how they try.Without Parthenogenesis in their platform they are just another Geron(that has already seen the landscape)and vacated it.
ISCO will absolutely own the industry unless someone finds a way to bankrupt them.(But then again,BTX would scoop them up and continue the monopoly)
Sorry folks,ISCO is KING.Get out of the other stem cell co's without "Parthenogenic AND Pluripotent" stem cells while the world still sleeps.Study and KNOW your science.
Kelt
No Pete,you have caught on very quickly.
Like Yogi says in the cartoon,,"Smarter than the average bear"!!
Kelt
THERE YOU GO!!!!!
BY GEORGE HE'S GOT IT!!!
Kelt
ISCO is focusing on regeneration therapy and developing the market for their stem cell lines and growth mediums.Researchers and medical facilities will be buying those products to create the cures of the future,with ISCO being the "Intel Inside" of the cures themselves.
Their "sister" company,BTX is focusing on replacement of telomeres to cells and extending life.
So in my thinking,ISCO "regenerates"life and BTX "extends"life.
Both companies fit together "hand in glove" and own those markets.(The world just doesn't realize it yet)
Kelt
I agree with your assessments.As far as "overdosing",not being an actual drug per se,the body should (as you say) excrete the unnecessary cells.
I think finding the proper dose has more to do with getting the quickest repair (regeneration) possible based on the # of stem cells introduced in a given application.
Kelt
Some financing/dilution.Nothing really negative.2010 was a busy "news cycle" year as I recall.With their cosmetic and cornea "discoveries" and the stock advisory services (Pat Cox and others)having very compelling write-ups and buy recommendations those were busy times.
Back to reality though,these developments and the other areas they are concentrating on just take time to "grow feet" and there have been periods of no news which drags a stock down as well.I can't put my finger on any particular event.The management is great,the products and pipeline are there.Lifeline is growing etc.I think the next 12 months will put them back up where they belong.News is king and they are getting back into an active news cycle as their hard work is starting to pay off now.Beginning with Parkinsons.
JMHO
Kelt
I think it will encourage "Longs" to keep a tighter grip on their shares seeing that the data so far confirms that things are proceeding as expected.
Remember that ISCO has a more important conference on 11/10
CARLSBAD, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/27/13 -- International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCQB: ISCO) (www.internationalstemcell.com) a California-based biotechnology company developing novel stem cell based therapies, announced today that it will present preliminary data from its IND-enabling study in Parkinson's disease at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in San Diego, CA on November 10th 2013.
The Society for Neuroscience is the world's largest organization of scientists and clinicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend the annual meeting, making it one of the largest scientific and medical conferences in the world.
Their quarterly report should be out prior.11/8?
I would think the SP will creep back up as we approach those dates.If I had more cash I would be scarfing up more shares at these levels.
Kelt
Question #1 is No
Question #2 is yes
Kelt
ISCO's PR is just like the Patriots beating the Saints last Sunday.Wasn't "pretty" BUT,,,,a win is a win :)
Kelt
The point of today's news is.....
The implanted cells are doing exactly what they were programmed to do up to that point in the study.
I think that's great news.So far so good!!
Kelt
Just in from Simon :

To Me
Today at 10:00 PM
James,
Sorry, I didn’t read your email correctly (I was reading it on my phone while at the “Stem Cells on the Mesa” Conference in La Jolla, CA).
We are going to issue a press release summarizing the new data reported at the ANA conference tomorrow morning. Give me a call in the office if you want to discuss.

International Stem Cell Corporation to Present New Data From Parkinson's Disease Program at the American Neurological Association 2013 Annual Meeting (Market Wire)
What part of "NEW DATA" do people NOT GET?
Posters from an investors conference on 10/8 have nothing to do with the 9/25 press release saying NEW DATA being presented at a 10/14-15 Peer related conference.
Are we not entitled to it?
Kelt
Look at the 9/25 press release.They explicitly say "NEW DATA".
There is no dodging that issue.
I want that NEW DATA.
