One day at a time is not necessarily a day trader.
If you think about an alcoholic, they are alcoholics
for the rest of their lives. But they "take one day at
a time" to stay off alcohol. They aren't alcoholics for
only one day.
Similarly someone who trades stocks with the idea of taking
it one day at a time can be a trader for life or for a very
long time. Not necessarily a day trader. Taking one day
at a time is to watch what is happening with the pps of a
stock and could be for a long time.
Personally, I take one day at a time to see what is happening
with a stock (in this case ACTC). And I am a long term
holder of the stock not a day-trader.
How about the patents that were invented by Dr. Lanza and
are staying with the company. My opinion for what it is
worth is the good doctor is not leaving to go anywhere else.
Windows has a calculator and you can enter numbers with
at least 13 digits...lol
And that is why the stock is down $0.27 ??? and more???
because of a deleted post???
Why am I not surprised with this ... right before ASM.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2630935-time-to-sell-advanced-cell-technology-and-buy-stemcells-inc
$ACTC holds all the patents going forward. What nonsense.
Anesthesia and surgery fee????
I thought this was an injection like what dentists do to "freeze"
gums/jaw. Or like flu shot. Have you gotten yours yet? Most
places they are free. Just a reminder - get your flu shot.
Hence total amount (95%) would be forthcoming to ACTC. Not so?
Or...is there some surgery/anesthesia involved?
Click on "ACT CLINICAL TRIAL"
It will take you further to article about Dr. Lanza.
The new ACT clinical trial led by Dr. Steven Schwartz has proven the potential, safety and efficacy of stem cell-based therapy. We are pretty optimistic about future outcomes of these therapeutic approaches to macular diseases.
excellent and thanks SMD2014
I'm for the Bellagio...lol
Elysse - my thoughts exactly and is the reason I added to
my holdings last/this week.
With all that is going on within the company and with the
"new" people coming to work for ACT, I was thinking that
before Nov 12 the price would rise to around $8 + and
I don't think even the shorters are going to hold it back.
in full agreement and I just added one to the ignore list.
All of his posts seem to be negative and who needs it.
And calling the company that I invest in "names" that
aren't suited.
What with Nasdaq listing coming up and a few other things,
these should be positive postings not negative/with reasons
for the negative posting. I am sure that "listing" will be
a suitable Christmas gift for all of us.
The one thing I have learned over the years of investing in
the market is a key word "Patience".
And I just ADDED to my holdings this AM again, even with the
annoyance of the negative posts.

This should be on CNBC.
If we all get busy and email the different shows (swamp them with emails), they will all be talking about this.
It works we did it with another company and they had the CEO
on as guest and repeated news about the company over and over.
To start, squawk@cnbc.com
powerlunch@cnbc.com
fastmoney@cnbc.com
madmoney@cnbc.com
I included the url for CNN
CNN beats CNBC to the news....cant be if it is financial.
I have already emailed squawk.
Elysse - this is not any isolated incident with ACTC.
This has been building for the last few weeks.
1. We have not had a correction since Dow was 7,000 a very
long time.
2. The Dow, in the last few weeks has gone from 17,350.60
down to 15,855.12 today.
So today is the day that the margin calls will hit OTC stocks
like ACTC. And you have today's large selling of the stock.
I hope you didn't dip into your "long" position and sell some
of those stocks.
And again this is not be construed as investment advice.
GLTA
Today - a stock market lesson.
This has nothing to do with crooks manipulating stock price.
This doesn't have anything to do with the shorts.
You have to understand that the rest of the market Nasdaq
S&P and the Dow Jones are all down.
Dow Jones is down OVER 400 POINTS.
There are many, investors who have MARGIN ACCOUNTS, that is
buying stocks with borrowed money.
(Except ACTC cant be margined).
These investors (many) are right now getting margin calls.
In order to cover the losses in borrowed money accounts, the
brokers will SELL 3 times the dollar amount of the margin call.
I.e. - if you have a margin call (shortfall of money) in margin
account, of $10,000, the broker will sell $30,000 worth of stock.
And the brokers office doesn't look at what the potential is of
a company. It looks at companies that trade on OTC and instructions are given to sell these stocks first, because they
have NO LOAN VALUE.
And what is happening presently is that people who have ACTC
in their margin accounts will suddenly get notices that
their ACTC has been sold to cover the margin call.
Next the next higher level of stock will be sold up until
you start selling the blue chips.
What to do? If you own ACTC in a regular cash account - DO NOTHING.
Ride the drop in stock market out. It will recover somewhat, even
if it is only a "dead cat bounce". The worst thing to do is to
sell into the falling market, because it is human nature to not
buy the stock back once a recovery is taking place. That is what
I am doing. And remember that this is only IMHO and not to be
construed as investment advice.
ACTC has much going for it and the news is forthcoming "very soon".
Hope this helps some of you newer investors.
And this "correction" has been expected/anticipated for a very
long time. I am surprised that ACTC didn't drop further. I guess
the news is what is holding the stock price up. And further I
just bought some more of this stock a couple of days ago.
GLTA
Got filled on another 50k (pre-split and (500-today's number))
today.
Unfortunately I wont be able to use them to vote YES on the
proxy.
Why anyone would vote NO on the recommendations of the BOD,
is beyond me.
Everything that they have proposed is for the benefit of the
company to grow (hopefully exponentially) and of course that
flows down to us, the shareholders.
Do you people not see what/who this company is now?
New CEO who left $2million salary to join this company.
Contract signed by Dr. Lanza
As far as salaries and bonuses - you need to do something
to keep the "good" people on board not a reflection of what
the stock price is from previous administration.
and on and on.
Oh the suspense is killing me...
And another useless post with the wrong post being deleted.
Well that just confirms my YES vote. With Dr. Wotton and
today Dr. Lanza's new contract, he is the main reason to own
this stock and this just makes more sense to vote YES.
I wasn't aware that you could change your vote electronically.
Can someone show where this is printed/posted. I would be
careful in what your thoughts are about voting.
I just see this totally different scenario than it was 6 months
ago. New CEO and Dr. Lanza staying with ACTC. I am sure more
news is forthcoming along with this signing.
Voting no just doesn't make sense now. It only delays the
inevitable. And I for one am looking forward to ACTC advancing
from here.
GLTA
And leave all the patents that he developed with ACTC and
not being able to use them.
He would also have to sign some form of agreement that he
doesn't go into competition with ACTC.
Personally I don't think he is going anywhere. Too many
developmental treatments that would stay with ACTC.
The road that they are going to take is to increase the PPS.
Why would they do anything different, when they are being
paid with shares and options to buy more shares.
If this was with the old CEO I would have doubts also, but
these are new people with new ideas and direction.
My vote is YES.
my broker is showing last trade for ACTC as $8.08 up $0.14
with volume of 1675
catch22 - I am just wondering if they are going to change the
name after they up-list, or are they going to up-list and
then change the name. I am think it would be better to
up-list first.
And another thought for those who want to vote NO. I don't
think it is the right thing to go against the boards wishes as
to what they are doing. After all they are doing things
in the best interests of the company and shareholders.
They will be getting my YES vote for everything that is
proposed.
I don't think that re-IPO is the route to take.
A lot of unnecessary expenses. with financials etc.
There are companies that buy companies that are no longer
functioning and just change the name to whatever suits them.
ACTC is already at the stage going to change the
name. I don't think a re-ipo is necessary.
lasers if you look at quote/chart boxes above...
the symbol is now ACTC..
I tried getting quote from broker and ACTCD is invalid symbol.
And I get a quote with ACTC.
Another broker still has ACTCD and gives quote.
It changed back sooner than I expected.
And Yahoo hasn't updated symbol yet.
Hope this helps.
Yes Lasers...we know what we own here.
Got filled on 1000 shares (100k pre RS) yesterday. And looking
forward to pps increase and more purchases in future on the
way upwards.
GLTA
Is that one word or two? lol
I wonder if he likes opera music and if he is related to
Mario?...
This isn't OLD news...--today's date and also ACTC must pay fine.
Advanced Cell Technology, former executive settle SEC charges of failing to report insider stock sales
Rabin, who left the company earlier this year, agreed to settle the SEC’s charges by paying a $175,000 penalty. ACT agreed to pay a $375,000 penalty and retain an independent consultant to conduct a review of its reporting and compliance procedures.
I think Lasers should apply for the consultant job since he
is so knowledgeable about the company and what is going on.
And also MM's are also open to scrutiny of the SEC. And
short traders, every day traders, institutions etc. So you think
you want to be out there committing fraud....And everything
about OTC stocks are fraudulent. Think again.
Remember, Martha Stewart.
SMD2014 - NO ONE here is banning you. This is an open and free MB
and all posts are welcome, even DDLS.
Sorry to hear that you have SMD., and would be glad to hear if
you are accepted into phase 2 and the results of what goes
on with the treatment.
Your language shows, in the way you write and nothing to be
concerned with. Just continue with what you were/are doing
and quite a few of us are interested in what you have to say,
especially since it is first-hand information.
Good luck to you to be accepted into the trials. Have you applied
for trials for phase 2? They are in Mass. and I don't know how
they get applications from Quebec. But anyway it will be
interesting to find out how it goes.
I wonder if there are trials for testing in Quebec/Canada?
Let us know if there are. Any information is welcome here and
ignore some of the crazy comments from a few of the posters.
Panic....I will tell you what panic is...
I put in order to buy this AM market order and they are
giving me a "partial fill" crazy.... (not in the first 1/2 hour).
I wanted to see how it was trading before putting in the order.
Soooooo.... I had to phone the broker to find out what is
going on. Talking to them, they have my order 40k (RS) filled
but my computer still shows "partial" That is my panic...lol.
And where is Mr. Diddles, has he retired or is the price of
ACTCD at the price he bot at, or even higher?
Anyway, I bot some at $0.06, $0.085 $0.095- RS and now at $12.
And like a few here who feel it is going to $14 or $15 today,
have some patience, it will get there.
More news is needed for that.
Lasers just a quick note to say a great big
THANK-YOU
for all the work/effort you put into this stock
and posting on this MB.
I know how much time it saves me to just look for your, and
a few other peoples posts.
I was looking/found some information and was ready to post,
but when I went to the MB, there it was posted by YOU.
Thanks again. People should stop worrying about closing
prices within a few seconds of closing and consider what
is really important - like your efforts to post about this
company.
I just cant thank you enough for the work you do. And that
is posts that are on the MB virtually all day.
Something to remember about stop-losses..
When the stop is triggered, it becomes a market order.
And...as an example if there are some buy orders there for $0.01
(before RS), some of those will be filled with the stop trades
that have become market orders. So a word of caution when using
stop-loss trading.
Sweden importing garbage from Norway.
http://www.trueactivist.com/sweden-runs-out-of-garbage/
depends on how you look at it.
I look at it as if other companies are going to "import"
cures from ACTCD since they have run out of their own
ideas.
ALL the aforementioned patents belong to ACTCD.

with 2 new additions...
Goodbuddy.... NO such thing. I am not a hedge fund and
I added to my holdings. Only wish Mr. Diddles did a better
job on getting the price a little lower....lol.
To everyone who thinks everything involved with stock market is
a scam...I think you should be looking elsewhere to be putting
your money.
This is the system and the way it works. Every level is
regulated and checked (licenses). And everyone tries to make
some money at every step of the way. That includes hedge funds,
day traders, brokers and MM's. And that includes the companies
involved in listing/trading their shares.
Big Brother is always watching (SEC)
You have to learn to work WITHIN the system and you will sleep
a lot better and might make some/more money.
Your trying to do something when you are thinking the whole
thing is a scam will get you nowhere very fast. Get a few
books and try doing some reading about how everything works.

Anyone care to do search for Advanced Cell Technology Inc. Amendment Shares Stock symbol A12ATZ
interesting that it is traded on Berlin stock exchange in Euros
I guess...
More exposure for Europeans.
Trades worldwide.. and other exchanges?????
Looking forward to the listing.
From what I read it is possible (I think) that they could have
already started the process. So by the looks of things, it may
be earlier than the middle of October.
"If a company does not have all the necessary information currently available, it may submit a substantially completed application provided that the remaining information follows in a timely manner."
"While it generally takes four to six weeks to process a listing application, this time frame is variable and may be shortened considerably, if the application raises no issues and the company
responds quickly to Staff comments."
They also have to apply for stock symbol. I wonder if they
can use ACTCD which is already in use or go back to using
ACTC or something new.
Was NOT DONE on the sly..Brokers all got notification
of what is happening. And if the broker has clients that
are holding ACTC stock they will notify clients as to what
is going on.
If you really think that is how the markets operate you are
in the wrong place for investing. There are all sorts of
rules/regulations that EVERYONE must follow.
And we all have known about the R/S for many months. It
didn't just happen.
I find someone's thinking that Dr. Wotton would be a scammer.
He gave up a salary of $2million to be CEO of ACTCD to become
a scammer. If I have ever read warped thinking this is at the
top of the list.
And top that off with Dr. Lanza - rated in the top 4 scientists
in the world.
Sure makes me think about how people like this get together to
be scammers. Unbelievable.
I wonder if that would be open for a libel suit. You never know
when it affects persons income and stature.
If it were me I would be careful in choosing my words.
