Hi everyone. just stopped by to see what is up.
So . . . ATIG forgot to pay their trailer space rental fee?
Like to know where they get the money now . . . must be all sharing the trailer and working odd jobs. Best to all, I just stop bye ever so often to see when ATIG is gone (did not pay their online site fee) also?
Great post!
ECIG is moving steadily past the initial time period within which most .pks or whatever fail. The EU connections will be very good for this stock.
Shorts are just hired to knock us down each morning, to gain some more coin for their masters. Good . . . I will buy a little more. Always take a chance on a company that has revenues and growing retail/E-Trade business.
Mary Jane products can blow either way in the wind . . . ECIG can play a better game . . . as their product can play in any wind. Respectable mass retailers carry their products, and they know how to do business.
About as good a .pk as you can get.
Never hold a pinkie that starts dropping steady from its IPO . . . that is how they often finance themselves (in the start-up stage).
You appear to be technical chartist investor.
Nothing wrong with that.
Can you explain how DRIO will rally on daily volume that is say 3-6X lower than the recent 100D average volume? Is this some kind of confirmation on impeding PR news effect coming, or next earnings call performance, new contracts, and funding sources?
Or, might this slowly rising resistance/support charting . . . be an indication of impending very quick stock price rise and then a sudden 'drop' in stock price . . . to .10-15 range again?
Complete silence from DRIO . . . cannot even give us a hint of good news?
Ah . . . that is due to speculation that we investors will see a much improved next earnings call? Anyone think the next earnings call will be released after hours (not before stock market opens? Why would that be so?
Diabetes Disease is MAJOR present and future health care cost components for all nations, that practice western junk food diet/lazy culture model, and hyped violent negative emotional stimulation. Pollution and artificial chemical exposure does not help either.
DRIO projected if only 2-3% of diabetic care transactions involve its mobile blood health care reader usage, company will have lots of profits to fund it.
Taking another track on DRIO:
Japanese Prime Minister Abe (and with him 100 Japanese business investors) have arrived in Israel for several days visit and talks on mutual economic, etc. investment deals. <---Look over and shop investing.
Is DRIO going to put on some suits, get itself on to commercial listing for presenting its tech to Big Japanese investors?
Diabetes Disease is growing steadily in Asian countries.
One guess who might have some desire to lower those costs and increase the efficiency of its Health Care System, AND has ready funding and political elbow of top Japanese politicos.
Or, will DRIO management sit on their hands and watch the process on TV?
The funding opportunity has arrived on their doorstep . . . lets see how they handle it? What does the Bible say . . . Seek and you will receive?
At the very least DRIO . . . could hand out some PR packets and some free DRIO reader devices and testing strips . . . or even mail them to Japanese Health Agency.
Wonder how brilliant DRiO new hires and directors on their board will look; if they muff this sterling opportunity to get world class access, at a budget PR expense, to a nation (Japan) desperate to increase social efficiency and reduce its budget woes?
Another way to look at this . . . how much would it cost DRIO to plan a stop-over in Japan . . . on its way to NZ and Austrl. (where it presently has national health care premission to market its mobile internet connected diabetic blood reader device)?
Who wants to counter-poise that in coming earnings call . . . not a word will be said about the immediate above referenced OPPORTUNITY?
Thanks for info, great confirmation.
Sure would like to see Amazon buy-out MCZ . . . though its looking slim chance?
It must be just me . . . but I keep envisioning that Mr. D. is stuck in early 2000s tech image. He keep laying out you retail investors monies for his dream machine 'surfaces', etc. to showcase at VG conferences?
Never see anyone in vast majority market of mobile gamers using any of his stuff.
I do agree that TV VG screen playing will be big (in our 'tuned-down' economy). Lets hope big time that you folks can make big bucks when it happens.
I still have joy stick devices that have built in VG from the early 2000 era (they are slow and somewhat amusing to play and delta cheap . . . compared to XBOX, etc.
And, I do not have to 'cloud' fund add-ons to pay for corporate executive yearly bonus increases, via buy-backs of their stock.
Maybe MCZ should go see ATAR about partnering (ATAR is dressing up its old VGs somewhat via code upgrades). Why not have those games on a version of the MCZ mobile, via a jack-in USB solid state drive stick? <---Sounds like cheap way to expand the MCZ game offering. Or, just have ATAR pay to have a VG play site available to MCZ users?
Were this to prove true, I would expect some sells to even out per-spilt averaging down that has been done by retail investors.
Without evidence of Canada sales volume to direct use customers, I am wondering how any useful data can be derived without a Canada Clinical Trial supported by professional medical staff ( and feed-back from druggists).
Nothing has come out yet on this scenario, nor any known clinical testing and recommendations by USA professional medical centers and user support organizations.
This is puzzling (to me at least), in that DRIO has made no public statement on status of its USA FDA initial contact for review meetings. <---therefore, i am hands-up-in-the-air about this kind of PR effect on stock price happening in first six months of 2015.
It is not conducive to retail investors confidence to continue stock buying, when important dates are pushed off another 6 months and fluff PRs come out about new hires.
And, do not keep telling us 'wonderful things' are coming in 2015 . . . unless company is willing to present evidence of new R&D, marketing, and sales revenues. ,---If this type ofthing continues . . . it would seem to indicate a company in 'struggling' stage.
Who really thinking DRIO has 1 to 2 years available to get its act together . . . without competitors entering the same market space? Goggle, Amazon, Samsung . . . and even MSFT and other phone manufacturers are 'hot' to achieve new mobile sector appls and devices sector potential (read: mobile medical devices sales).
Carbon Taxes (as way to gain new taxation by increasing retail price of petro) is a done deal for both parties and administration; regardless of what ensues in ME, etc.
USA is 'broke' and needs to stimulate employment, infrastructure, and tech efficiency . . . thus new Carbon Taxes for everyone to pay AND passage of bill to allow overseas USA, etc. Multinationals to return-invest in USA plants and hirings TAX-FREE. <---question is . . . can DRIO be product ready commerically for this event?
I recently had a relative attend a special OT rehab treatment center.
Was very impressed with the staff and wide range of patients they get.
One of the greatest problems in OT rehab, is fear of patient and resulting depressive emotions . . . after an accident or diseased condition. How can I be me . . . or anything useful . . . again? When a person walks to their wedding . . . or out the doorway . . . they also walk to themselves.
The center is the regional best of kind (one of top set in nation).
On tour of facility . . . saw out-of-box (no walls thinking) to help patients.
They are very open to new ways of OT . . . I can see them wanting to use the EKSO suit to begin the gentle process of rehab treatment for certain forms of patients.
Not a VA center.
I saw love and moral integrity therein . . . forces lacking today in modern enterprise model. I think our company has the same stuff: we do not just sell to people . . . we help them become anew.
I also sense EKSO tech will be part of a new human culture: wherein humanity and machine work to achieve things not possible alone.
Our support suit also has uses in space program and flight stimulation.
Imagine (as an example) a suit that can exercise deep space mission crews, especially during hibernation sleep.
Looking stock over, for small buy-in and hold (small time investor).
There has been some talk about Dividend getting a haircut, but a crew-cut beats being shaved clean?
Adding to your train of thought . . . there is growing trend of terror attacks in ME, and the large producers are not immune? This could cause spike in prices.
Also, looking like RIG stock is over-due for another 'bang-up' for the large investors?
I also see future of oil exploration is deep ocean drilling, Med---Cuba---China Sea---North Pole. RIG can get those contracts, as USA and EU prod the Russian Bear, and lose this business?
Saudis also might be entering USA/EU stock market, and using counter-option positions to off-set their energy market lost profits? Nothing has really been mentioned about this angle.
Another strange change effect in the mix: Administration, Demos and Repubs and their sponsors have growing agreement, that something like a carbon tax can now be applied to current low price of energy products. Now would roughly be the time to apply them; as more taxes are needed to 'fund' military, social, and road and city repairs. <---especially as consideration is given to having low or tax-free'return' of overseas held multinational profits to USA . . . with condition it is spend on new physical plant investments and hiring USA unemployed (who will be paying again their taxes). Throw in the Keystone Pipeline agreement (with requirement its flow goes overseas to obtain higher Multinational profits) . . . even the Tea-Baggers will crow! And, the eco-bots can do circles and circles in the ocean . . . and sue themselves up. Everyone is happy but the foreign fish trawlers (and the fish). . . but they do not count in voting power.
Then, petro and energy prices can rise slowly back for oil companies share, as time goes by.
Sure seems like a dilution (private placement?). Doubtful we 'up-listed'.
It was done at end of market though, and that can also be a Reverse Split 'play'?
Did someone hit the wrong crack button?
Buy-out?
Gone private?
Upset retail investor decided to 'paste' the MM and the shorts?
We find out soon enough . . . like tomorrow.
If MM 'accident', not a thing will be said . . . and business goes on.
Realistically . . . what is ZNGA doing trying to wrestle old time cartoon characters into VG format? <--- Grandma and kid under 8 will play together
Unless someone big, is thinking of bringing out a movie and ZNGA is reaching out to do their VG match-up content . . . what are ZNGA executives dwelling in . . . 1930s Land?
Rage now is War (Combat), Racing, Online mobile gambling, Celeb sponsor VGs.
Oh . . . I forgot . . . Candy Crush X new version advertised on TV . . . to draw in adult girl?lady role player audience. Even Pet Rescue is decent twist on Candy Crush . . . . for the new lower-aged brain challenged Alpha Brain Wave state Program folk.
King probably has better chance of making it . . . ZNGA is in the closet . . . powdering up? ZNGA would fit right into Criminal Minds Sad Sack Epi-o-sew-ed Content, about a company that kills itself. ZNGA should sell that show on this novel plot? ZNGA has cash . . . but not for long?
ZNGA must be run by person that is 80 years old: and doesn't know it?
Not in stock anymore.
Sad but I think you are correct . . . its 'heavy' mobile gaming from not on.
Did any ever confirm that FireTV used MCZ tech in that device? <---just curious---saw artl. that they are virtually giving them away with a contract user buy.
Maybe MCZ should have gone more into mobile VG software creation? Doe anyone agree . . . and left the TV screen stuff to MSFT and the like? Mr. D, is he still traveling around on retail investors dime to tech shows to show off his aging tech wonders?
He has never understood his childhood tech is obsolete now in low-pay youth culture of mobile gaming. I have (some time ago) proposed that MCZ should have looked at creating a drop-in-your cellphone dock . . . internet gambling manual pull-down type slot machine attachment (to reach out to casino goers that stay-cation at home). <---MCZ should have hooked-up with casino owners, to grab the home-player market for such a device. <---big casino goers and the casino profits take . . . is dropping (everyone is too broke).
I would look for MCZ to soon be sold to another company?
Best-of-luck to anyone still holding.
Watch for Mr. D flipping sign along avenue . . . 'I have Mad-Cats Owners Disease . . . Help Me'!
I own some of the stock around current low price.
With one year time, NASA tech has not seen much retail investor buy sentiment currently. If tech is so great . . . where are USA DOD, Medicare, etc. grants and initial 'rush' status approval orders? No PR stock price effect at volume less than 10K, today (current early AM time).
This is not a military secret tech . . . if used by NASA on Space Station and Shuttle astronaut vitals monitoring, many foreign astronauts used and learned of its tech?
China could have this tech commercial ready in six months after they 'saw it', though China would be restricted by USA commercial market sales in USA, due to our patent restrictions legality.
Question: how much did NVTH pay NASA to acquire the USA exclusive commercial use patent release status? I cannot remember if VNTH obtained USA or non-USA market use exclusivity.
There are a lot of just USA medical companies with huge profits riding on NOT having such tech introduced in the market place. <---who do you think has 'commanding' ability to influence such matters with political donations?
New PR and funding silence from VNTH . . . speaks what?
i am suspicious when a stock drops (see our 3-month chart).
Recovery to .35 would be great . . . however why then to drop to *.04? Retail investors did not benefit. <--leaves bad 'tag' on stock.
Our company cash position cannot be that great right now, world economies not looking great for 2015 either. 2015 USA federal budget cuts social spending and boosts military funding . . . maybe our new border boys and returning military personnel disease detector needs . . . can drop VNTH some 'grant' monies? VNTH tech can increase cost efficiency of USA medical care, by early-on detection of specifically targeted breath-borne organic chemicals markers.
Good ideas for VGs, you have for GLUU.
Do you not think the big boys of VG-land are earnestly pondering the new low-cost development format of mobile VG tech and the likes of EA,AMZN, MSFT< looking at buying out GLUU and ZNGA?
ZNGA has the cash for M&A, though I wonder if it would 'fit' with GLUU mmgt?
Thanks for reply.
Always need oil, if world population is growing.
Didn't mean to be too political. I am going ahead to buy first small time position.
This quality company is not going out of business.
Seems like a nice board, lots of folks in the oil business know.
I am strongly considering buys a very small amount of RIG.
My smart friend tells me . . . wait . . . oil and stock price (RIG) going lower.
Rationale to buy (for me) and some questions from the peanut gallery.
1. No one retail can actually predict the stock price bottom: stock market is not random walk pricing, its managed walk right now. RIG is below its 52 WK range and its a good company in still needed energy field for national defense and economy stability (think high paying jobs). If GM can get special treatment from Feds . . . why not oil and gas drillers? If you try and make more crops into alcohol fuel . . . sugar eaters and hungry will riot against the diet.
2. I think Russia can outlast Saudis . . . and do not think Iran and other OPEC nations are not p-ss-d with Saudis and USA and EU. Don't be too shocked if 'action' happens in ME. USA must look out for its energy independence future (and that does include deep water drilling capability).
3. O-Bomb and Repubs may be on golfing vacs, but China and India are not: pork-ing precious and exotic metals like .99 Sale Hamburgers at Burger King. Energy as a commodity is the real money stuff (that and physical manufacturing plants and educated work force).
? Would RIG be in on Cuba ocean drilling plans?
Since 1959, USA oil companies have wanted into Cuban oil and GAS potential fields.
Why would we give that advantage to other nations, therefore I do expect in next two years . . . Repubs and their bosom bubby prez . . . to get some Cuban capital and consumer goods contracts. BO-BO will also visit downtown central Havana and sign the commercial treaty soon enough. Probably will visit Iran also in next two years.
? Is RIG smart enough to avoid another BP Spill . . . by insisting proper and redundant safe values, etc. active oversight be installed on a well? Seems like smart business to me, as oil spill near Cuba would be major disaster to all nations economies along the Cab.
Hope I did not offend anyone with my political comments, as I envision its political donors that rule, not parties.
A lot of folks do not like solar power or electric cars, but USA needs both (and a commanding position in both), to secure its energy independence, in fture wars scenarios. <---both different forms of energy creation are getting more efficient.
I agree . . . difference herein with this stock . . . we have DOD, NASA, and Vets Groups and all kinds of large businesses seeking to avoid lifting injuries in its employee health plans medical costs (while increasing worker eff and productivity).
Also, start of Robo-Cop suits for community partolers scenario or and machine-man interface
(The Singularity). <-- Terminator stuff
2015 should see some more innovative results for EKSO?
Will 2015 bring us first commercial body-suit orders --- think GE,BA, and Amazon,etc.
The story can roll on.
What EKSO needs to do, is get its suits into a movie (forget the SONY garbage) . . . make a Elon Musk Space Mining Suit-up Movie. <--Get funding from creating for movie suit and get Mr. Musk on our side . . . NASA and DOD will come on in! Total PR Heaven!
EKSO? . . . do you read your stock message boards? Da!
Thanks, maybe end of year selling for tax position?
GLUU needs to update us in early Jan,2015 on its plans for more celebs VGs?
As Night Trader stated . . . we have very nice potential for 2015 VG schedule.
Some confirmation comes from the ZNGA exc. video interview . . . celebs VGs aare way to go. We should be alright in 2015.
Maybe KK VG should include Hollywood makeup course for the young ladies . . . that might juice it up in the stats position . . . as you know ladies will buy makeup as long as their guy has money! <--War Paint Machine! Contest?
Might go another direction (GLUU VG scenarios) and develop something like get in a Sci-Fi build-a=Mars Base VG, or whatever build-a-scientific business enterprise VG. If Candy Crush can make it . . . why not real educational VG matched to Lunar X-Prize real-time contributions (players can donor to favorite X-Prize Lunar Lander Program and
contribute their own version of a design into the X-Prize competition VG players run-off/side-show comptetion? <---Pour-in a celeb or two (or Elon Mush Space Mining Venture) . . . and VG player gets to team with the real stuff via Twitter . . . would not hurt to have MaDonna,etc. drop some cash into it and make it a real VG online bet for an end goal prize?
Think GLUU is smart enough to read its stock boards? Da!
Better get that E-Vacumn out boys and start pulling in the idea electrons
Typical of the dumb-ing down of USA scientific literacy.
Other nations carefully nurture their best-and-brightest, we force them to rise up by grabbing their own boots (evidence was his turn down by numerous schools to use their labs). When present aging engineers and scientists and technicians retire . . . they are replaced by visa granted foreigners. <---and they wonder why other nations can break into our tech secrets. Please do not get me started on destruction of NASA.
Apparently, not one company stepped forward to hire him on the spot for summer work, etc. and had an offer of university funding. White House show-cased him . . . but didn't connect him to their donors? Where was White House Science Office . . . playing VGs?
VNTH breath tech is cheap in mass use scenario and far closer to commercial sales.
I have no idea where the present new funding for VNTH will come from (private placement or Reverse Split in the cards)? I bot this stock due to its potential to get partner and maybe a buy-out.
So far, Monday volume is not confirming major up movement of GLUU stock price.
Presently looking like slow and steady stock price.
Night Trader . . . saw on Entertainment news of some kind (forgot) . . . possiblilty of New James Bond will be black Actor. Not set in gold yet. Could be good way to draw in more movie goers (and potential game players) to GlUU products?
My dumb guessimate . . . GLUU should see at least $5-5.25 in next 3-4 months. <---Not sure we get over that price range, unless super next quarter?
DRIO really needs to bring us up to date on several things.
(1) how are sales in Australia, one month since Austl. Gov announcement of approval.
(2) Somewhat dismay that no news on your designated user ability trial.
FDA Approval apparently will not come in next few months (no USA user Data). <--FDA is kind of funny about using foreign user data for USA decisions. Ask yourself . . . where is any Canada user data 'news'?
(3) What is company status on research on mobile devices for 'other bodily fluids' reader? Under Research and Development expenses . . . not much last quarter.
No news is like Def Con 3 Status for us retail investors hop-ium.
DRIO is effectively killing any new retail investor buy-ins, with no news.
Candles tell us rather nothing without confirming stock volume?
This is not a Random Walk event set-up.
This has all the aspects of an Engineered Stock Price Walk-Down? <--- And that does not 'smoke' very well in Candle Land Pipe.
Interesting that you and others cannot explain how nuclear isotopes seeds insertion, is a huge advance in medical tech and biotech.
Nuclear isotope experiments started before Japanese atomic bomb tests.
Also, NK, Iran, Eu countries, Canada, and on and on counttries do same thing?
You sound like only stock trader . . . not scientifically centered?
I have yet to quickly discover how WSU - Washington State Grant has revolutionized nuclear meds. You must be like SONY staffers that can't understand basic internet protection techniques.
Please practice net freedom and remove my post, as your viable means of communication knowledge to new investors. You will do well in the Matrix Overlords! Your typical of those that do well in dictatorship 101.
Doing research on this company . . . thinking so far 2015 will be key year for it (patent, FDA Approval, updates on Clinical Trials). I am thinking Special FDA
Emergent Use Permission for late stage Cancer Care monitoring. Hoping also for more $$s via grants say from DOD and HLS and NHS? Where is White House science advisor proposal . . . oh . . . Dream Boat is on his native land vac . . . trying to hide from NK/SONY flap?
Concern is where is funding now coming from with stock price at .05 area?
Will new congress right wingers listen-up to political contributions and kill any new techs that 'bother' old-school medical testing tech firms?
Where is Goggle and MSFT, why not buy something that's already far along in product development range? Mobile reader tech is future of medical care and cost efficient
health care planning.
Looking at stock . . . what is so special about nuclear isotope seed insertion treatment (been done since 1940s)?
Good Luck to all.
Most of us want this company to succeed . . . to at least get our money back.
What is worrying is that company is so quiet . . . like they do not have good things happening right now (or are they holding back from new PRs to let the product user numbers grow and they can get a higher PR jolt effect)?
The volume was good . . . though it may have been end-of-year tax-taking sells?
That could mean our registered number of retail investors falls.
Company insiders hardly can be very happy with 2014 stock performance:
16 candles on a dead man's chest . . . and a bottle of dumb?
Yes, but is it building a base or a basement?
The kiss-of-death for us retails was a R/Split to make $$s for new private placement position . . . and DRIO silence is deafening and telling.
Something is wrong in tron-land?
2015 will be 'interesting.
When a new company has to become pink sheet (down from GS IPO heads-up) . . . the story unfolds?
Our Prob of success is now seemingly in 15-20% area without DRIO mmgt. clarification (to just me). We need a PR afterburner jolt.
DRIO gets FDA Approval, grants or contracts, a real (tech) partner not a venture street
sweeper (he can';)t lose, he's set for $$s up or down stock price), goes private, or goes to None-Land.
Is the light at the end of the tunnel its opening, or a another train bang-on?
Sea-Hackers loooking good . . . better check that Charger Battery Ground?
Hint: look at what team gets home stadium position, last match-up results from previous year outcome, and then compare to Vegas Sports Odds.
I also was curious . . . $1 million?
I would just pick $300-400 out of the blue . . . and they might not even see that much next quarter.
DRIO is going to need $millions for advertising and sales force.
No one from company has come clean on 'adoption rate' (meaning
units sold and strips sold) in any country (including home base Israel). <---whats with that . . . Hebrews do not have diabetes? Some thing not right here with this company . . . the clock is ticking on their potential competitors coming in to the market and affecting legal patent wars with them? Where is China market news for DRIO mobile device reader?
I should hope next earnings has some news also on mobile readers for other 'bodily fluids' R&D expenses, or whatever.
I am seeing lack of new PRs as evidence DRIO is having to hold its game cards close to its chest . . . this is acting like typical pink sheet stock?
Its great we attended the Canadian Diabetes Conference . . . but what really happened there? This company info train is moving about as fast as Methane in a head-wind.
Looking like 'nothing' . . . until Jan or Feb 2015?
Geepers . . . maybe I can become a TA Whiz . . . I could call things on a coin flip average.
I have never heard a Chart Reader talk about random walking and the chaos of coin flips outcomes. <---The Bell Curve smoothing on a chart
Forget TA charting . . . even fundamental analysis (accounting, etc.) gives us not much to go on with DRIO. Projection (by me) is we run out of funding by Sept 2015, our burn rate must be over $400K/month and advertising and sales force budgeting and travel expenses will be steadily rising.
Still waiting for some grants $s to DRIO (e.g. HLS and DOD not interested in funding 'other bodily fluids' readers)? Would a Diabetes Private Organization offer DRIO some funding?
Now folks you all intuitively know the definition of sanity = mental chaos?
I am a newbie in VPOR. Why did I invest herein?
I invested due to the fact they have manufacturing, sales force, and revenues (and a great website + new products coming out). E Cigs are not dead . . . if so, why are Big Tob companies -ell bent to get their share of the potential market?
Also, the price is right.
This creature has been shorted way too much down.
Take a chance . . . in the OTC pink land jungle casino?
Stock trading is online gambling . . . plain and simple: a stay-cation.
Want to see a real 'fail-safe' E cig company . . . compare VPOR to RFMK (can't seem to hit the ground with their hat)? Been years stumbling around in daylight, trying to make it. Yet it has been possible to make money on them . . . if one can time them correctly.
As some others posters have remarked upon . . . looking like some small E cig players will go broke or be bot up for peanuts. No one on earth can 'read the future'.
Take a lot of chances . . . and one or two will come through for you?
Bet small . . . and spread your risk coins around?
About Christmas . . . I am a non-aligned Christian . . . and I believe it happens ever day I am alive. The holiday has become so wrapped in $ signs . . . we race to out-gift each other? The best way might be simply to tell everyone you love them and they mean more to you than any mere physical object in life?
And . . . I wouldn't trade you for a pile of cash . . . at least not a small one.
Besides . . . being poor builds character, right?
Now . . . pull up a chair . . . get a drink of choice . . . and watch the tellie ticker screen whiz by . . . eating your peanut butter and jam witches!
2015 is going to be a great year . . . after all congress has turned Medical Mary Jane over to each state's decision to allow (think positive E cigs news) . . . punt and kicked the can down the sorry brick road . . . all power to the political sponsors . . . ah . . . I mean us people? Rest assured . . . we have the best leaders money can buy. What could go wrong?
What exactly are you saying . . . all retail investors are screw-driver-ed?
What is your estimate of how many retail shares are still viable and held for long term, at this distressed low share price?
IF in coming weeks . . . the stock price is still shorted . . . what is your estimate that the 'new' investors (private placements?) can derive from what is left of share price, at these levels?
And, what do you see (or anyone else) happening to VPOR IF is (in effect)bot out by the new large placement investors? Are you thinking they will takeover the company?
I mentioned a Reverse Split might be soon in the cards (to clean up the share count). Or, is VPOR planning to go private?
If product sales are good this holiday season and for next two quarters, we have a new ball game.
I was way off on my term units (meant actual vapour sticks sold).
Looks like the company will do very nicely with all its outlets (via its distributor and sales force). Hoping for steady slow growth.
I suspect there will now be consolidation (or failure) of these small Ecigs companies coming next year. Just a thought. Big Tobacco waited to see how the market would go (especially MJ Ecigs), and now they (and governments at all levels) want the tax monies. E cigs beat Nit gum and tobacco patchs as way to quit smoking nasty commercial cigs.
VPOR can sell both their E Cigs (Tob replacement market) AND MJ vaping mixtures and oils, without causing a lot of regulatory problems (as their carts. can be reloaded with whatever you prefer). That's a nice double bang cross-over for retail investors and customers of VPOR products? My opinion only.
Another angle on the deficit credits on issuing stock to buy out smaller competitors:
they can come in handy to off-set positive revenues when doing accounting.
Also . . . folks that do MJ oils, etc. may have a bias against the big boys products (think LO company) coming in on 'their thing' and trying to kill alternative entertainment? So . . . the street folk might just support the likes of VPOR.
Not much more price fall in this stock to short . . . its been way shorting out at the current stock price level.
Another worry we retail investors do not have:
oil pricing affecting our product sales (instead the reverse seems possible). Petro costs less and individuals will buy more of their favor things! And they be smiling and doing the dance in the powder rain!
Oh . . . and EGIG (opps . . . ECIG stock symbol) did 'got' crushed big time today.
Thank you.
I am just trying to gauge the company.
I bot some today.
What are we looking at here . . . a Reverse Split . . . with this price range activity?
Company product look OK . . . unlike some other vap ecigs companies. VPOR should have solid revenues coming in 2015 . . . its online site is A-OK, and its ;product line is expanding. They get into Oregon and Washington and Washington DC, etc. and its looks good for sales. It looks relatively easy to install Mary Jane elixirs in its take-apart capsule load.
Is VPOR patenting its products and are the smoke pens, etc. really made-in-USA? The Fluids cartg. content is . . . I looked on their internet site . . . however did not find reference to device itself actually being made USA.
I am buying in at this price . . . can't go much lower.
Are they selling native Tobacco content ECIG inserts also . . . has less bad chemicals added? Or, would one just buy their own brands and load themselves?
Looking like now is time to prepare for 2015-2016 and beyond business expansion.
Anyone care to comment?
Any guesses on what their sales are like . . . maybe over 5000 units to begin with; or do you folks think next earnings will be based on less than 5000 units sales? if company cannot do at least 5000 units in say 3-5 states . . . they have not much of a prayer, by quarter two 2015.
There is a side of GS that most retail investors do not see.
For instance, GS recently paid off USA government (court settlement fine) and no sentences, for 'employees' (of course, not under higher layer command) who shorted the very same stocks, etc. they referred to customers as buy recommendations.
Also, its logical that GS is somehow involved in Quant Trading?
Why, for example, would a super large company let someone freely eat from its income possibilities?
I am not saying one cannot make money from GS stock . . . check the stock price around 2009 and then now. Same for other banks and investment houses, roughly.
Ride on the back of the elephants . . . buy low, sell high?
I do think the mood of the general market (undecided and somewhat frightened) is tending to effect our DRIO, also.
One has to ask themselves . . . WHY did not USA government support formation and oversight assistance programs . . . to real creation of small, local businesses (as a method to stabilize local employment opportunities)? While concurrently, creating a growing local taxing base. I do not care what political party you put in power,
we need common sense ideas in action.
What is really interesting about DRIO mobile device, is it fits rather nicely into future of increasing efficiency of medical care by electronic mobile means. The internet IS the health care provider mechanism of the future . . . and DRIO has a part of it NOW. With large growing populations . . . disease states increase in those populations . . . and no one has enough cash to fund direct human one-on-one contact care for those newbies. Electronic over-sight is the next best thing.
Management talent is a rarity in human skills . . . if it was not for computers and internet effect on productivity . . . we are stuck in the grove of relying on basic human emotional instincts. <---we can only increase human progress, by involving electronics in the chain-of-command structures, and care givers net. DRIO does that.
2015 should be a good year for DRIO (it has to be) Its rather Make-or-Break.
We do not have a lot of pleasant options left herein.
I (and others) are a hoping . . . we see at least your doubling of our stock price transpire. On good news . . . .75-$2.00 is possible from where we are now.
Another angle on all of this . . . just imagine if DRIO could go the route of taking blood chemistry readings, by just directly scanning the human wrist tissue blood flow . . . then no need for test strips. The Japanese did some research on this.
What GS could do is get DRIO and those Japanese Researchers together . . . toss in some funding underwriting. And, make some calls to their Washington DC friends, and spin some research funding + trial device orders and FDA Approval 'Special Emergent Medical Need Use' status. Is that not called Venture Capital Funding? Or, do they just sit in their offices and order out for $250 hamburgers? What does GS advocate for . . . Private Enterprise or Free Enterprise?
Nice article.
I also took the time to read the comments (something I doubt TA charters would do, all they need is in price and volume formations that serve to foretell the future).
The substance of the article goes to what I have pondered in some of my previous posts . . . the establishment of current big health care providers . . . , hardly will accept new whiz kids inventing and manufacturing novel technology, that threatens their pole position in the health care food chain.
This just might be a factor in why DRIO is not getting rapid FDA Device Approval?
One of the comments mentioned the blood testing technology factor, that a blood glucose readers is based on an electric electrode coated with a specific chemical, as its means of developing a read-out to its visual meter. The test strip (carrying the blood prick
sample placed into the reader device, is a cost factor that Medicare is trying to lessen in its pay-outs. Medicare seems to be forcing out the smaller device and strips companies, and also forcing distributors to focus on fewer patient choice of reader devices (to cut cost pay-outs for Medicare). As a result of trying to achieve cost-cutting efficiency in the Medicare program, innovative new start-ups and their techs will be under super pressure and difficulty in getting into the device/strip supplier stream.
Quality will suffer, in the seeming achievement of quantity of service economizing?
We retail investors may find ourselves unable to 'lite' the funding monies fuse needed to propel DRIO, into new chart highs. And, private placements also will not be able to accomplish the needed R&D and advertising monies either. The political winds of whatever variant, coupled with collapsing worldwide economies threatening,
bode ill for our DRIO success?
I do recommend that DRIO pursue DOD and Public Health Care grant funding to develop those other 'bodily fluids' mobile reader devices tech. The other alternative, for us retail investors to see a profit on our contributions, is to sell the diabetic
reader tech to a larger partner in this field. DRIO can than have the money to undertake demo tech in the other /bodily fluids' reader fields of endeavor?
We might also get lucky and get Emergent Use Approval from FDA in the next say 6-9 months, and this will give our stock price the underpinning PR effect boost it does need.
We have other mobile reader device competitors breathing down our throat, and our timetable window of opportunity is less than 18 months. And, they have much more money, proven talent, and government interest than DRIO has. That $5000 initial unit price Star Trek type universal disease presence reader, that can read hundreds of health and diseases via SW programing, will effectively kill our chances of getting other 'bodily fluids' device reader contracts?
Like E-Cigs . . . we may find DRIO tech can be rather quickly duplicated in Asian production and distribution low-cost bid markets. Due to Free Trade Agreements, such products can enter the USA tariff free and overwhelm small producers like DRIO.
I do not now see any possibility of low volume stock chart evidence, as a future up chart driver for our stock price, without a suitable PR effect propeller.
If $millions of new stock purchases are made (and we have no accompanying PR bomb-shell), which direction would the stock price naturally want to move to?
Our Private Placements investor might just want some profit, and can get it up or down direction?
We are now less than 20 trading days to beginning of new 2015 stock market year (rather doubtful any major PR effect is going to transpire rest of 2014)?
We are all rather living in a trading range box for the next 6-9 months, awaiting news?
Though I agree, with the notion that its going to take about 2 quarters to see any real progress herein, I do continue to hold my shares and did double down from the R/Split pricing point. its going to be bad road conditions for DRIO until we get USA FDA Approval.
I am starting to think another reader company is coming in through the back door and 'influncing' FDA Foot Dragging. I would not like to be proven correct on this matter.
My reasoning, in the immediate above might be all-fluffing imagination . . . yet I do see that blood sample processing companies could be seeing a competitor (in DRIO portable mobile reader), they do not like. Be that s it may.
The real reason (I have) to continue holding my shares, is the potential market in 'other bodily fluids'.
The diabetic reader device, it the method that allows DRIO to get going on efficient production of such additional use devices. Environmental quick reading remote mobile devices and DOD, etc. readily offers DRIO additional market force and sales.
I sincerely believe DRIO is way smart enough to develop these other uses of their tech. Perhaps once they can demo some of these other uses for the reader tech, we shall note some funding from governmental sources? <---DRIO needs to go out and 'show-and-tell' their tech, to say National Guard Units, EMTs, and DOE and other state and federal entities . . . and get some feed-back. Evidence of this kind of effort can have a paper supportive addition to the FDA Approval Mulling. Donation some units and test strips and ask 'can we go out with your units, to see what you think of its field uses'(?) kind-of-thing.
Do a public service use-demo at a Grade School . . . get the parents involved and
school health officials. Get the local Media there too. Lots of folk of age do not think they have a need for even a free mobile phone . . . ask a local mobile phone seller company to come to the event. Write it up in a medical journal, with some results cluster graphs.
Emergency Responders would love to have the ability to rather quickly 'read' what an unconscious patient/customer has been exposed to and what'things' they have previously (to accident/injury/sickness) been involved with. Its clearly a matter of life-and-death. GET-THEIR-THOUGHTS
When the stock price dropped to about .10 after the R/split . . . that was quite discouraging for me (and other retail investors).
I also think this is fine news for retail investors.
One can compare this product (a physical device) badly needed in the market place of rehab, to others stocks that are having issues with FDA 510K clearance. Those other stocks are bio-tech and chemical medication involvements, as cautionary impediments to their FDA Approval.
You have the veterans groups, rehab hospitals, and DOD and NASA and major manufacturers . . . at your back-up. In my opinion, FDA is under pressure to allow EKSO to acquire the valid user data for their product (under a similar emergency qualification to an orphan drug declaration use permit).
This is a vital technology that can help maximum USA productivity, in a number of areas.
I am getting back in and buying into EKSO (I just cannot be 'out' of stock if big news break comes in). I have side cash to continue to buy, if stock price were to drop again. In this kind of market . . . EKSO is one of the best investment vehicles, one can hope for. When USA military is able to foresee the technological upside to such bio-suits . . . you can be quite sure a order will soon be announced (or its effect will show forth in the stock chart). That's my position on this stock, for what it is worth.
I am surmising that any cash needed for further R&D, etc. will be coming forth as hard orders. And, it may take years for EKSO to began to show a profit . . . but the notice that Otto Block company thinks so highly of EKSO bionics, is a clear tip-off of what others must also be seeing in this company and its product line.
Very nice article.
Glad for those who got the recent *$2.00 low of HL and rode the up price today.
I am out of HL right now on sidelines.
I do not trust in a new uplift to gold prices, and foresee a trap waiting.
The commodity train cannot (in my personal view only), be depended on . . . as Russian moves will influence, the coming months.
Inflation and stock buy-backs . . . an economy do not make.
The more folks move into ETFs, the surer 'a bet' that there might soon be rolling sector crashes.
We should all hope (and pray) the author of your posted artl. is correct . . . and the big Boys keep to the plan of inflating the stock market with electronic cash 'donations'. . . from us retail investors retirement plans.
Just as side thought . . . everyone is proclaiming the Chinese are stupid and have over-build their 'empty cities'. But those cities are guarded and they represent a tangible physical asset of geo-political value. In a natural disaster or war time situation . . . the Chinese now have a ready reverse of new cities.
Buffet bot the BNSF rail company (not the stock), why?
His answer: if things go to hell in the market . . . I OWN a tangible asset that is absolutely necessary to transport energy and consumer goods and food.
In the same way . . . the Chinese have a workable capital investment, if the world economy implodes and T-Bills and their interest payments becomes mere bond fire paper dreams. They are also stockpiling minerals and energy.
What is our USA stockpiling . . . trashed cities and wasting workforce and DEBT.
Our wise leaders have exported the USA Middle Class (as wealth creator and holder) . . . to where?
Russia is leaving behind its EU joint alliance desires . . . and turning East . . . and forming a new bloc. Russia is also joining with Turkey and pulling them slowly
into a partnership that spells danger for USA ME plans?
Lets see if the charts do indeed foretell the Golden Cross.
The 200-Day Average can always keep falling.
What a real confusing polio-economic environment for investors?
India floods itself with PMs, and the Swiss are to vote on having more Gold in country (to back their paper money stability). Who is selling all that Gold to folks around the World? In the Book Death Of The Dollar (by Richards and his Currency Wars Book), he brings up the scenario that SDRs are coming our way, as international money (the $ keeps loosing poll position in currency/resource trading).
To achieve that, Asians will need more of World Gold Share.
What was not mentioned in the books, was what is happening right now . . .
Russia and BRICs are trading Gold for Oil and needed industrialization Products.
So . . . we have a currency war where USA uses its petro dollar status, to push our deficits into the international economy. Thus, everyone is trying to pay off their deficits, by counter-inflating their national currencies. Sounds a lot like the 1930s again? What is a poor guy suppose to think?
The whole world goes down together on the road to deflation?
The oil glut is killing us all, as it pumps lower transportation and manufacturing costs, for a short time. The world derivs and defcit can still got kicked down the road.
I suspect Iran is glad to get lower priced PMs in exchange barter for its energy exports, and can wait for higher PM prices to arrive . . . and earn a nice profit.
Down the road, PM prices and other commodities cannot stay down, for much longer than (to guess) 6 months to a year . . . without chopping Russian and EU economies into heavy recession. Saudis also are facing Iranian anger, and we could see military counter options, come into play thereof?
Threat of increasing ME warfare . . . can be the force to propel PMs and other commodity prices to rise, and to thus be an offset to effects of World-wide Deflation?
And, what will coming quarters show us investors from the stock market performance, of major companies earnings reports?
Could foresee HL stock price back to $2 (or some cents less) next week?
And, so far, one does not find major consumer rush to buy for the holidays?
GameStop and Wally World (Bricks-and mortar) not doing so well . . . as latest VGs out, were apparently rushed out to the shelf's, with code problems.
And . . . Not to mention Polar Vortex anti-travel holiday affects, apparently in play.
Most starling . . . PMs prices are following $ and Gold and Oil, around-the-table circus . . . they all fall together.
What is guess of board . . . is HL and CDE, etc. selling their PMs into declining price (but heavy demand) world-wide PMs market? That net new gold has to be coming from somewhere. And, what does that fore trend for mining to keep going, to replace PMs sold?
Yes, but DRIO will hardly be able to muster any legal aid monies (they are foreigners though, so one can conceive they might get some) from cousin Obomb and his Repub friend-zies? Believe a mere doggle version design patent, could not hold back 3-D printer versions of DRIO cable, or whatever.
Lets talk about earnings coming up next quarter.
One might posit can DRIO show much positive earnings against the general year-end market trend? Those Furg-gie-copy riot sans demos fostered all around the country magically, with the same rob-and-burn and freeway cluttering concern for civilization enhancement, surely are the Right Stuff to prep our faulting economy of happy consumerism.
Super Polar Vortex cold icing, that's another plus for the holiday season shoppers.
However; such above silly ramblings cannot affect our DRIO customers (of medical need), right? Our stock is the special royal step-child that can sector-wise . . . go volumes against the general market outlook.
The last quarter earnings were a good thing . . . BUT note that on say sales so far . . . of 3000 mobile device units (and were such 3000 real sales or just shelf placements in retail display stalls); we find little cheer for retail investors hop-ium of positive progress to another exchange uplisting, etc. DRIO business expenses eat them up AND SOME.
DRIO (and us retail investors) will need 10s of thousands of reader device sales, to show a valid positive to our revenue accounting (maybe even 100,000s of reader sales).
Back to our beloved Asian competitor (I mean ally) Model: China has big growing diabetes prob-blem-oes. Translation: China is slowly loosing foreign device sales of all kinds right now. Scenario--->China or India or South Korea SamSung 'jumps right in' and buy/copy a valid present and future potential medical business sector (like making solar and TVs and computers and cellphones). Asian policy of our new hood paddie pal . . . is to win, any way they can. A few minor alerations to SW and cellphone case and attachment blood reader, and DRIO is in Big Trouble In River City! Does DRIO have 1 or even two years to 'make-it-happen' for the manufacture and marketing of their mobile blood reader device? Who really knows?
Further: what kind of FDA Approval PR stock price effect can we retailers hope for?
My pure guess is we could see .40-1.95.
Would this be possible? Ah!
Now the tires hit the payment!
What kind of advertising/promo budget would make this possible?
I know . . . I know . . .Teacher!! Me! . . . Me! . . . Me!
Millions of new $$! . . . someone will want to just throw out there.
Do you actually think a firestorm of buying will develop from self-fees based on face book-ing? Maybe.
I propose that it will take an active educational and sales force physically going to doctor/caregiver offices and organizations. Things like ed-sit-ins with potential customers will have to happen. Example, parent-teacher associations.
And massive in-store demo manned display tables.
Unless DRIO gets a wonderful new partner(s) to help $-wise, its a slow climb up the stock price slope. Our best option (as I see it), is to rapidly find someone who wants to buys DRIO out. Alternately, DRIO does a penny stock online TV interview and flash-up side ad gig thingy on computer screens? Don't forget the alternative, etc. health sites all over the internet, where real health concerned tend to use and follow.
Why not go directly to Samsung (looking for new sales tech desperately), or an Amazon 'We-are-money-pockets', and we get brought out for somewhere in my .40-1.95 price range. <--but I do not envision
this will happen . . . as DRIO is in 'MY dream' mode (they think they can tackle the big guys). Best hope Uncle Gold Man and the other folk love their Israeli ploy?
Who am I to Poor-trend the future?
Lets just sit nicely back and let the ice rains drop.
Turn the Lemons into Lemon-aid ice-cubes . . . Think Positive Actualization
Ash111 thank you from the board!
An article that gets to the meal of DRIO . . . and its employees.
GoldMan Sacks . . . FED Terminator Robo member . . . will be interesting if Brick-and-mortar labs owned by AMA doctors . . . can learn how to love DRIO for taking a share of their 'profits'.
Keep the Company relationships in The Family', so to speak.
That way, everyone is on-board and 'covers'?
Not much talk about how retail USA,etc. investors will make their money back.
Just sit and wait. That's an option.
Patent for transfer USB junction cable from DRIO device to cellphone . . . sue-me $$s.
I am sure Third-Worlders, et al, are shaking in their boots . . . laughing as they make them . . . Their Way? I just got a patent on Rice . . .as it comes in a box with a pour sprout! Of course, Uncle Gold Man will stop those aliens critters from shipping in their version of the Smart Phone Dongle?
This could go right to The Club Med Sue-Primee Court Docket, Fat Track!
And, we could just refuse to sell them any T-Bills . . . oh wait . . . they are not buying anymore. Our Gold and Land are more promising.
Gee . . . I jut know we can stop The Yellow Bric Road Express Mail, to their USA Free Trade Zones. Dongle Copies across the southern Border . . . anyone? I am sure The Home-landers can spot such stuff at the airport, too. $1 Store pricing coming up! . . . also.
Got to love this . . . pull up to your Electro-Mirage Machine . . . and
pop a can or plastic bottle (which you can donate to Oceanic Artifiical Islands Nightmares Night-time Dump Fund). <---and get a Green Energy User Credit Coupon! It will kind of add some color to your DRIO Black-and White Shares on your Deficit Spending Deco Wall?
