Lolol because auditors are the types of folks that just do the job and don’t ask any questions of the company, right? That’s a ridiculous assertion.
The world has changed a lot in the past four months, with the collective focus of humanity currently on how to clean and disinfect efficiently and quickly. In that context, not really that shocking if demand has increased exponentially.
Nah, fake news.
That’s my endgame is a buyout. The patent is the key that most people are underestimating or not focusing on. Fluid sales are good, placement in 15 hospitals is great, the U.K. deal is a potential nuclear explosion for value, but what is going to bring a big boy company to the table is recognizing the value in the patent and having the relationships built to roll that out to hundreds or thousands of medical establishments.
Tuesdays have been news-friendly in the not-too-distant past!
Wasn’t it January that things really started to take a turn for the positive, but really hit critical mass in March?
The RFID tracking system is literally the primary reason to be here.
Is that actually fraudulent in any way, or are there prior situations that can illustrate why this is a bad thing? If PCTL is intentionally masking the float numbers, what could potentially be the reasons? Not just “bad,” accusatory reasons but are there “good” outcomes the company could be pursuing by doing this? And could experienced traders be throwing temper tantrums because they aren’t getting the information they want and are accustomed to? Is there anything illegal about “masking” the float?
Glad that PCTL isn’t at risk of this, based on their EPA approval and established placement in hospitals.
Thank you for helping me learn.
Earth-shattering. Thanks.
Great logic and supporting information.
“You can see”
Some of us are new and learning and can’t “see” what is going on. I can speak for several of us that we would love to have an explanation from someone. It sounds like you understand it, would you please take the time to explain it to us rookies?
Up 250 million over what timeframe? I probably need to go research the differences between the O/S, the float, and how all that interacts because I feel like I’m missing some big pieces of all this. If the O/S is at 540 million, and that doesn’t change but the float is steadily going up because restricted shares are being released into the float, is that still considered to be dilution?
Sorry for so many questions, sometimes it’s easier to learn from conversations than from Wikipedia.
I’m still confused... do those conversions not add to the outstanding shares count?
It has been the same for awhile now, but the other person stated that somehow the company was preventing OTCMarkets website from updating the float. I’m confused as to how that is even possible or if it’s not and it’s stereotypical nonsense-speak.
How can they dump shares and the O/S doesn’t change?
Wrong again.
It is speculation to believe it is PCTL technology because we have no clear evidence, I agree. Do you have evidence or reasons to believe it is not PCTL technology?
I think some brokerage accounts won’t let you buy more than 5,000 shares of a penny stock so you have to buy 4,999?
Do we have any evidence of dilution since the last OS count of 540? We know there will be some, since Gary stated it will be done to fuel expansion and growth, but I see a lot of that word today with no information about the share count.
Could you please explain how the company is currently delinquent?
Upon what factors do you think that is a possibility?
I don’t think that challenging a one sentence statement that doesn’t begin to address the underlying chemical makeup of something is a personal attack. Not sure what other folks on the board responded to you with but hopping in somewhere and not speaking with details and supporting information will sometimes make people respond asking for facts and real information.
Rookie level information, DD is necessary to understand the science.
Ah, yes, NASDAQ is several
Leagues away from us unless we skyrocket somehow (which R/S could do to PPS).
That is what I thought, we meet all the QB requirements and there is no need to R/S. Plus the CEO noted on a conference call in February a R/S was not on the table at this time.
Why would they need to R/S to move to OTCQB?
I’m right there with you, the risk reward just isn’t there for my personal makeup right now. If I could turn 100,000 shares into 150,000 I would be happy, but if my 100,000 shares turned into 50,000 I’d be exponentially more sad. So I sit and wait happily, enduring the daily swings and thinking about April 2021!
If I had faith in my abilities, I would sell at .09 and buy in at .06 all day long. It’s an infinite loop until it’s not and a lot of folks are gambling they can time it right. I’m content to sit back and watch this rise.
As the author of “Antifragile” would say, I’m trying not to look at this too frequently because then it’s more noise and less signals. Anyone who researches this company and industry knows that a year from now the PPS will be at least double what it is now but likely much higher. Even if it’s “only” double, listening to people whine about 100% annual returns is frustratingly amusing.
I just bought a couple hundred dollars more but probably should have waited for everyone to panic about the R/S first.
I just wanna pay off the mortgage and I’ll be living a very different, much more financially free life. Half my shares are in an IRA, which makes it easier to refrain from selling because I don’t have a better idea of where to put it than here!
I’ve got 550K shares and would legitimately shit my pants if it hit three dollars, but would be incredibly impressed at my discipline if I were able to refrain from selling some on the way up.
Us poorer folks are only paying 15% cap gains... mo money!!!
It’s off.
Really? Link?
I haven't yet seen anyone dive into the wording of the most recent PR with the NHS and how this "company" is going to guide PCTL to Annihilyzer placements. I also haven't really found clarity on how a "company" exists within a system of socialized medicine so I did some research. No clear answers but it's probably because I'm not smart enough to connect the dots. It appears there is a lot of privatisation within the NHS world and that there are government appointed groups, run by local general practitioners, that "commission" contracts to various entities. It is probably one of these companies that is going to get the exposure this press release is talking about to 600 hospitals and 14,000 nursing homes.
“The Health and Social Care Act 2012 came into effect in April 2013, giving GP-led groups responsibility for commissioning most local NHS services. Starting in April 2013, Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) began to be replaced by General Practitioner (GP)-led organisations called Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). Under the new system, a new NHS Commissioning Board, called NHS England, oversees the NHS from the Department of Health.[9] The Act has also become associated with the perception of increased private provision of NHS services. In reality, the provision of NHS services by private companies long precedes this legislation….”
"The English NHS is controlled by the UK government through the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), which takes political responsibility for the service. Resource allocation and oversight was delegated to NHS England, an arms-length body, by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. NHS England commissions primary care services (including GPs) and some specialist services, and allocates funding to 211[13] geographically-based Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) across England. The CCGs commission most services in their areas, including hospital and community-based healthcare.[14]
A number of types of organisation are commissioned to provide NHS services, including NHS trusts and private sector companies."
So NHS England gives money to Clinical Commissioning Groups, which “commissions,” which I read as being contracts with, trusts and private sector companies.
"In 2015, the Centre for Health and the Public Interest estimated that in 2013–14 there were about 53,000 contracts between the NHS in England and the private sector. In 1989 only some NHS mental health, surgical and pathology services were run by private companies. But after the introduction of the Health and Social Care Act of 2012 (HSC Act), the list expanded… This means you may now find that your GP works for a company like Care UK. Tests that your GP orders on your behalf (like blood tests or scans) may be carried out by private companies.
In the financial year 2015/16, the private sector won contracts worth just over £2.1 billion for providing clinical services, compared to £2.7 billion won by the NHS and £955 million by the not-for-profit sector.
In the year 2016/17, 267 (almost 70%) of the 386 clinical contracts put out to tender, worth £3.1 billion, went to the private sector. Of these, Virgin Care won contracts worth £1 billion. The same year, Care UK, which had links to the Conservative Party, gained the second biggest share of contracts (£596.3 million).
In 2018, the Department of Health and Social Care awarded £9.2 billion to private providers like Virgin and the Priory Group, an 14% increase from 2014/15 despite the Secretary of State for Health pledging to reduce the outsourcing of patient care.
An article in the Guardian claims that in 2019, the value of contracts awarded to non-NHS providers (mostly profit-driven companies) has soared by 89% since 2015, from £1.9 billion to £3.6 billion per year. The biggest winners were Care UK (17 contracts worth a total of £731 million) and Virgin Care (13 contracts worth £579 million) over the five year period. Seven of the 10 largest value contracts during this period involved the delivery of health care to patients, and the rest were for operational support for NHS Trusts."
Oh I don’t day trade at all, I can’t handle it either.
And they have to be that way. I read a few books on day trading, realized there is little way to be successful unless you’re committed full-time, and decided it wasn’t for me. Learning their philosophy was helpful and insightful, though, and one of the consistent and cardinal rules is “don’t fall in love with a stock” as well as “never hold a stock overnight,” hence why they are day traders.
When you drill these rules into your mind, information is interpreted differently and potentially with an unconscious bias toward good news. It would disrupt their entire way of being to fully recognize the potential here and having to change how they operate would be tough to balance for just one stock and overwhelming to think about for some folks. Best to just proceed business as usual and let those silly longs take their long-term capital gains windfall.
