Actually, the sell-buy ratio of shares are 17 million shares bought to 12 million shares sold...
17 million shares of the total 32 million shares traded after 2 hours of trading were traded in the first half hour at the open. Not exactly the kind of volume that is going to move the PPS with a 3.2 billion float...
A 10% increase is always good in the PPS, especially with the way that the stock has been manipulated over the last few months... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
How could a train speed off toward anything of substance with an OS of 3.85 Billion shares, and a float of 3.2 Billion shares...and hedge funds, shorting organizations, and the MMs working in concert to derail the train...especially when the shares traded thus far today only total 25 million... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
You make a good point...since when does the MMs have to give an accounting of themselves?
And, it is left to speculation as to how, when, why a MM such as VFIN, who is widely known to be used by hedge funds, shorting groups, and other MMs to properly position himself to stop any kind of upward PPS movement.
It is widely known what VFIN does on the ask with his patented 10,000 offer. If anyone wants to discern the inner workings of stock manipulation by the MMs, one can look directly to the positioning of VFIN, who is rarely seen until he is needed to slow, and knock down, any bull movements.
VFIN is not known to ever be in the best interest of investors, and rarely is he seen on the bid side. He is positioned to deliberately prevent any kind of meteoric runs, thus protecting the hedge funds, the shorting organizations that are preying on the PPS, and the MMs entrusted to making a fair market from ever having to be accountable for the carnage that they cause. AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Do not be deceived...there are reasons why VFIN has been sitting on the ask at $.0126 for several days...WAITING for the PPS to come to him with his normally seen 10,000 shares offered.
May we see just how many shares will have to be bought before he is moved off the ask...and, if done so, will he just set up a road block with a higher PPS offer... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Maybe you missed some of the posts of "prominent", well respected posters in this forum, that have mentioned that a R/S could happen within the next 3-6 months...
Just did more DD, Nick...following the money, or lack of it...the track record to under perform, which is a kinder assessment over not performing...nothing but promises...delays...3.85 billion share OS...3.2 billion share float...pr's about strategic business relationships that never occur...or are never mentioned again...9 name changes in a 16 year history...one R/S in that history...
One can try to remain positive...talk positive...act positive...but, there comes a time when one no longer can not recognize the truth...
I am not heavily invested in this company...just trying to make some money...and, now to just get my money back. I really am concerned for, and feel for, those that are heavily invested in this company... The truth is the truth, and my assessment of the situation is just that, my thoughts. I am not trying to sway anyone one way or another...I have no agenda, but, ALL evidence is necessary to make a judgment on the overall body of work of AG.
Have you questioned crickets post about a R/S within the next 3-6 months? I have found you to be one of the more rational and reasonable posters on this forum. Again, go back a few posts and read smellcrickets post, and, we all know that he is very close to the CEO, company, and is heavily invested...which is why I tend to believe what he and others say, even though none of us knows the other.
Maybe if I switched to a "Debbie downer" the past month, in your eyes, then, that might spur some deep thought and/or soul searching as to why. Also, smellcrickets, whom I respect and listen to today made the same statement as possibly coming to pass, and not a single poster even made a whisper about it...
I will always try to give my best effort to tell the truth...at least as I see it. Many are blinded by greed, or fear...in this business...and few ever know the truth. These guys sound great, with great possibilities, but, "where's the beef"?...
All investors can believe what they desire to believe. A pied piper is a pied piper until he leads us to the pot of gold. Promises are just promises until our hope turns into reality. There are many that are much more knowledgeable than I, but, everyone has an agenda, and a plan for where they want to go with AG... I respect that... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
It might not be that EASY after a 500-1 R/S hits the ole wallet and a million share holding is busted down to a mere 2,000 shares...with the PPS dropping like a ton of rocks a few moments after the R/S takes effect...on its way back to .012, again... Just walking down memory lane from some past investments in the pink sheets...
Are there any reading this board that does not think a R/S is coming...and, possibly as early as within 3 months? JMHO, of course, FWIW
iSmellCrickets...I find it interesting that you would elaborate on futuristic happenings with your statement "There is an almost certainty if you look at the share structure, this ticker will do two things in the next 3-6 months."
One is a reverse split and the other is the PPS must drop below .0120 , between the range of .008 - .0110
Also, you stated "still watching Uruguay for induction of country wide legalization, (which I believe has passed) while previously stated contracts for Zazzz machines by the governing body should still be in play. If this moves forward it's a game changer for ERBB, and a buyback program could be in discussion."
One wonders what kind of percentage of pink/penny stock companies, when wrestling with the decision as to how to shrink a bloated OS of 3.85 BILLION, and a float of 3.2 BILLION shares, would choose to buy back the huge number of shares over a R/S...which would cost AG tens of millions of dollars.
As a general rule in these small companies that have used convertible debentures to keep their fledgling companies afloat in the early stages, I would think that the choice of a R/S has won out almost 100% of the time.
If there truly are 57,000 investors in ERBB, then, I would think that not a single one would vote to R/S over a stock buy back plan. Several experienced and respected shareholders in this forum have mentioned that ERBB presently has very few options when it comes to reducing the extremely bloated OS/float other than the R/S.
A little sidebar here...ever wonder why that 180 million share buy back has not occurred yet?...and why it was not mentioned in the recently released financials?
From a common sense viewpoint, a logical business decision of growth basically comes down to a decision whether AG is willing, and financially able, to spend $20 million - $40 million dollars to buy back and retire a couple billion shares...OR, do they take the road most traveled..the greedy route...the unloyal to shareholders route...the screw loyal shareholders route...and R/S? Hmmmm
I would think that shareholders should be a bit concerned about your observations/statements, due to your credibility on this board, your heavy investment in ERBB, and your closeness and respect for the management of ERBB, their business plan, and future projected direction of the company. Yet, your post drew NO discussion, and appeared to fly right over most of our heads...
In defense of a possible buy-back plan...it certainly helps if the PPS is at a very low position. I do hope that the management of AG will take the road less traveled...and buy back those mis-managed and/or mis-used shares...
I own a very small amount of shares compared with some with millions of shares, but, a R/S certainly would leave a bad taste in my mouth...as it has with previous penny stocks that I owned that took the R/S route... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Thank you for your knowledge, wisdom, and experience...and your willingness to share with those of us that are less experienced...
Shares Outstanding: 3,851,572,678 a/o Mar 31, 2014
Float: 3,191,885,389
Authorized Shares: 4,750,000,000
That $.0125 support level has been eroding in a slow, methodical manner over a few days...and the PPS is one big sell away from this thing sliding into a fall that could only be stopped by the bulls rushing in to save it, it appears...
Also, this process can be accomplished by the MMs, if they choose to allow some shorts to cover their position on the bid side... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Well...we can always tell when Obummer is lying...his lips are moving... LOL
MMs appear to continue to want to break the support level at .
$.0125 down and will probably continue to eat away at it tomorrow...until the dam breaks... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
I would not get too confident about a bid support in this stock...as that large number can be erased very quickly...
There were 3 sells of 475,000 shares, 264,000 shares, and 1,500,000 shares that ate a huge chunk of that strong support that was showing... Time of sales was 15:39 - 15:42
We must be reminded that the obvious goal of the MMs and shorts/bears is to break through that supposedly strong support and put the PPS into a free fall, which will further be complicated by panic selling, especially by those shareholders that are sitting on a profit right now... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Yes, 1vman...the MMs appeared intent on eating away at the $.0125 support level...
And, without anything of substance the MMs in concert with the shorters could breach that support and start a PPS free fall that they desire...probably on low volume, as this has been the mode of operation for many months.
Even though the short position has fallen off a bit the last couple of months, there still is enough to fuel a run, should there be enough buying...
There were 16 million shares sold at the bidvs 7 million shares bought on the ask... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Hey Brother...try this link to get to the Admin that might be able to help you...we need your positive, encouraging attitude in the room more often... The person is Shelly...
God's blessings...
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profilea.aspx?user=97314
Hey Brother...
You might want to send an Admin an email, as they will reinstate you if you post for 14 consecutive days without being removed. You probably have a good track record and they probably will reinstate you... Hope that helps...
God's blessings be upon you...
I wondered why there were 9 name changes for AG in their 16 years of existence, posted it on this board...AND got not one response to the documented statement... LOL
I guess if nothing is said, and there are NO responses, then it probably does not mean much to investors, and it will just go away without any discussion... HA! HA!
Even the watchmen, standing on guard on this message board to refute anything that resembles the truth, let that fact slide by... LOL
As far as pink sheet companies are concerned...we are better suited to believe that the company is to be opposite of our legal system wherein the company is guilty...until proven innocent... JMHO, of course, FWIW
Maybe I can ask Robert Tomassi...he just wanted to link up with me on LinkedIn... LOL
How in the world does he know who I am, and send me a request to link up with me? Big brother knows where we all are.
I know it is the patent Tomassi, as he has Stephen Shearin listed as one of his friends...
But, why me? And, how did he know my real name? I accepted the invitation before I realized that the name and Levittown home towm was familiar...
WOW...I am just a small fry investor...not causing any trouble...
It says he is only linkedin with 4 people...and he is a sales manager at a Toyota in Levittown, PA...
Check him out on LinkedIn, if you want to communicate with him. Maybe he can answer whatever questions you might have...
OK, Robert...let's start communicating...we both are patent owners, so we might have some things in common to talk about... LOL
"If the blind leads the blind...they both will fall into the ditch..."
Only a fool would not find out what the public sentiment is about a security...and the MM companies are not fools.
MMs are driven by greed, within a wide latitude of discretion given to them by the SEC. Their name says it all - Market Makers... They are legally given the right to manipulate the PPS of all stocks.
They pay people to bash, and they pay people to promote... NO, they will not read all the posts, but might read enough of them to observe overall tendacies, sentiment, etc.
It has been my experience in Research and Development to explore all avenues that can give me enough information to come to a definitive conclusion. MM companies are in the DD business...and skimming over message boards can provide some good DD as to how they are going to manipulate the PPS...and in what direction...as complainers are more apt to get weak hands and allow the MMs to pick up some easy shares, etc.
Each is entitled to his own opinion... JMHO, of course, FWIW
AND...the brokerages/MMs bet against us using our own shares as "poker chips"... LOL
Good job of exposing the root cause behind much of the investors problems, nwsun...even though many underestimate the truth behind your wisdom, and just blow it off.
God gave us peripheral vision for many reasons...so that we could see the whole environment...
As investors, one has to diagnose/evaluate/assess/recognize the problems before an effective problem-solving plan can be implemented.
For one to misdiagnose or fail to evaluate the pros and cons of a company would not be a very wise move to make, especially in the penny stock arena... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Yes...it is time to break the habit of "buying high, and selling low." LOL We are in this to make some money...
You are right...LOL...the market is controlled by the MMs/hedge funds/shorts, usually, with their major tools of greed and fear rearing their ugly heads...
Also, it is about money...and these boards are very helpful to those controlling and manipulating the PPS to know the emotional level/sentiment of posting investors, etc.
So, we have to assume that these boards are read by assigned representatives of those with the money, and those manipulating the PPS... AJMHO, of course, FWIW...which is not worth enough to buy you a cappuchino... LOL
On a lighter note, my gut tells me that this boy could break out at anytime that the MMs want to turn it loose. Why...because many are watching...and waiting... Something strong, and encouraging, from AG could trigger a short covering that could propel the PPS. I know others get that feeling in their guts, and have expressed so, as well...
Then, there are the heavy hitters, sitting on the sidelines, with their boats fully loaded...waiting for the PPS to move up to a level where they can take some profit...which, should be the one thing that small fry investors, such as myself needs to be concerned about, as this profit-taking can slow, and reverse any strong move...especially if the shares are sold at the wrong time in the move...another horse, for a different race... LOL
"Many will HEAR, and not UNDERSTAND; will SEE, and not PERCEIVE."
I Would not be too confident about that 2M shares at $.0126 - .0125...as one seller, possibly taking some profits, just took one of them out...
We all know how the MMs operate...and that the financials gave them a great opportunity to take the PPS lower...
I would think that, if for no other reason, the MMs/shorts will cover at the bid and take the PPS below this $.0125 level...
Then, maybe it will be time to add to a position... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
I hope and pray that you are right, JSTIC...the MMs could surprise us all, and shake the tree at the open, only to run this boy...
It would be appropriate..especially after the way that they have manipulated the PPS the past few months...
LOL...you pick two recent acquisitions...and leave off many companies such as USEI, TALK, FWDG, and a host of others, in a long company history that has gone through 9 name changes in 16 years since its inception in 1998... Yes, 9 name changes...If it walks like a duck...
Oh, and can you show me anything on paper from AG that proves that there are actual dollars coming into the bottom line of AG from those two companies that you mentioned? I do not remember reading anything revenues coming into AG on the financials from these two companies.
Anyone can say anything about sales, but until those sales are translated into actual dollars that show on a financial statement...it is only words...without substance... So, please enlighten me and share how you figure?
Here is another questionable promise...A 180 million share buy back by the company that has shown NO paperwork documentation of the transaction ever being completed;
Many other partnerships with several companies, many of which only trading a few thousand shares daily...or certainly well below their large floats;
Add to that a questionable management background, of which you and all are aware of:
A R/S in past; and a possible one in the future...even though the management promises that one will not happen...and we know how much their promises can be trusted...
It has nothing to do with MY DD, and everything to do with others overlooking the obvious history of this company, and, let's say, colorful characters that run it...buying the delays...that are continuously one following the other, etc. I can believe until others give me reasons to not believe...
I would add that the 3.85 Billion share float has not helped the PPS movement, as well...
Along with partnering with a bunch of "no name" companies that are not panning out...
I would think, that, if Shearin is on the ball, which can be debatable, he would have some numbers on one or more of the projects, or the Zazzz machine placements, etc., to counteract the lack of positive numbers on the financials...
I respect AG for putting out numbers that are not so great, but, hope that they will balance it with something positive for the present and future...
If not, this boy is poised to be hammered by the shorts and MMs come Monday... Oh, well, another chance to average down... LOL
Many shareholders are in the mode of "what have you done for me lately"... LOL AJMHO, of course, FWIW
I would speculate that those that have a clue do not want to publicly share their thoughts about the Peebles involvement...
Not hearing back...IS AN ANSWER...as NO answer speaks volumes... LOL
As I was told by a couple of the big boys...don't be so negative...you do not want to tank the PPS...
I was also told to try to help out the PPS the last hour of the trading day by buying shares...as there was a group that was going to come in late to increase the buying power and keep the PPS from falling, etc.
Investors have to be careful, observant, intuitive, and we can trust, but must verify what is being shared with us...as manipulation goes beyond the MMs, and selfishness and dishonesty has many times proven itself to be the main personality of many...as there are many false prophets that would sell their souls for the 30 pieces of silver...
I would think that the large blocks being sold after hours is either shorts buying at the bid to close out their short...OR, a heavy holder selling out some of their position...especially if they bought in under a penny... JMHO, of course, FWIW
Does that 3M share sell at $.0125 send a signal that someone wants the $.0125 PPS support to be breached and taken out? It appears that it was sold below the actual bid listed at $.0126. It should be interesting to see what happens the last hour...
If indeed, the sale of One Bode for $3 million dollars was a legitimate deal...wouldn't it be interesting if AG will have the extra $3M included in the financials?
Wonder what $3M would do to the bottom line, and PPS?
Also, we have not seen VFIN on the ask yet!!! The MMs might want to crash through that $.0125 support to scare a few people, if they can, before bouncing upward... Just speculation, and not based on anything other than a gut feeling... JMHO, of course, FWIW
You are blessed with good wisdom, and have spent time learning how the enemy works...
Too many fail to evaluate and assess the inner workings of the MMs, hedge funds, shorts/bashers/bears...and how they triple tag team investors...
As you, and a few others on this board know, it is not wise to just blow off the root cause of why things are stagnant...or moving lower...especially when it has visible reasons why it should move higher...
Thank you for your knowledge, wisdom, experience, and in put...as with others that I respect on this message board, and with their sharing of their experiences, as well...
Looks like the bashers have put out a "call to arms" to their fellow shorters/bears to circle the wagons...
This could be a good sign as they are trying to create fear, with the help of the MMs, of course, to try to shake some shares loose from those that might have weak spinct*rs....
These good "ole" boys take turns sticking it to investors...bring your own KY... LOL
There's good ole VFIN on the ask with his 10,000 share offer...we get to watch the shorts/bears work for a while... LOL
And, there are those 200, 300, 400, 4,500 share trades...signals between the MMs to alert them that they need shares...or, possibly to signal them that the shorting game is "on" again...
Or, maybe it is a call to VNDM, and a couple of other MM shorting buddies to come join the party...
Very small volume...which signals complete, abusive manipulation...at our expense, of course... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
About the math of the 57,000 investors... By my math, it averages out to approximately 70,000 shares owned per investor...which comes to an individual cash investment of $924 per investor. It could happen, as there are many variables such as different PPS when they bought in, etc...
There is NO logical reason to stop a company from infringing early in their infringing of the patent...as they have not made any bucks yet.
Why warn someone that is probably deliberately breaking the law, and send them a legal letter asking them to cease and desist, when you can have a big payday down the road, by letting them think that they are getting away with something?
I always thought that companies should not be confronted until they show substantial revenues made from using a product that is owned and legally protected by others...
Of course, this company probably is betting that AG might not make it as a company, will go under, and they will not ever have to pay restitution for the infringement... Just speculating...
This company only has two machines set up on college campuses...Arizona State and Florida State. Just my take...
More Instymeds info...
http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2014/11/14/university-installs-prescription-drug-vending-machine-on-campus/
Phoenix, Ariz. (CBS LAS VEGAS) – An InstyMeds vending machine has been installed on Arizona State University’s campus, allowing any student or university employee to pick up prescription drugs from the dispenser.
Any ASU student or university employee who receives a prescription from ASU health services will be able to simply walk to the school’s Health Services Building and use a voucher with identification to receive their meds, KPNX-TV reports. The prescription drug vending machine fills the service left unavailable after the school’s pharmacy closed in September.
“This is a great solution for students who want to access their medications right after their appointment,” said Christiana Moore, a health services spokeswoman.
“Serving the health-care needs of our students is still our highest priority. We believe the measures we have taken will help our students with their prescription needs,” said Allan Markus, director of ASU Health Services, in a statement at the time the school’s pharmacy closed.
Customers using the prescription drug dispenser use a voucher which is tied to a code that is transferred over a secure connection from the prescribing doctor to the machine. Students and college employees must pick up their medication within 24 hours.
School officials didn’t specify exactly what kind of drugs will be available in the machine, but said it would contain 50 medications that are most commonly prescribed to college students. Company representatives said they sell primarily urgent medications such as pain medications and antibiotics.
“You know, the things that you’d like to have right now to feel better,” said InstyMeds Vice President Bob Bang.
The Minneapolis-based InstyMeds machine manufacturer says that the dispensers decrease the likelihood of patients not picking up their medication because of an inconvenient trip to the pharmacy. Bang said the medication is secure in the 1,500-pound, “vault-like machines” that have remote alarms in response to any tampering.
Previously, the InstyMeds vending machines were only placed in emergency rooms, out-patient surgery offices and urgent-care offices, KPNX reports. ASU is the second university to get such a machine, according to company officials, with Florida State University having one as well.
Found this medical dispensing machine company Instymeds on a college campus and am doing some DD now to get info about the company, the type of machine, etc. I am not mechanical so do not know if it applies to ERBB or not...
Could there be any patent infringement here? If so, maybe this info can be passed along to AG... AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Actually, the selling is 70% sells and 30% buys...if the 29M form T shares are added to the numbers after hours.
And, 40M shares sold vs 30M bought without those 3 after hours trades...
Definitely not any kind of panic sell...even though the MMs play their games and jerk the PPS around, and take the PPS down quickly, to tighten the an*l sphincter a bit.
All the charts are heading south, which do not lie...but, make no mistake about it - the MMs are in complete control of the PPS movement, and their ballgame. Even with such a high OS/float they will play with the PPS...just because they can...and to show their absolute control of our lives, our money, and our futures... NOW, that is some kind of power...
I would think that there are a lot of eyes on ERBB...just to see what is BS, and what might be the real thing. The MMs could open it up and let it run a bit, but, it seems that every time there might be a bullish surge, the shorts/bears, jump in with both feet and squash any kind of possible rally.
Add in the anemic volume and one can see where the market will be made by the Market Manipulators. And, watch the head fakes, both on the bid and ask sides. And, pay attention to VFIN...if he jumps to the ask side with his familiar 10,000 shares showing...look for the shorts/bears to rush in and try to push the PPS lower. This is what VFIN does...it is no mystery. Just a few of my unscientific thoughts... LOL AJMHO, of course, FWIW
Form T transactions as they might apply to those large blocks dumped and/or sold by a possible large shareholder...
These ”Off Market” trades are typically used by larger investors to trade larger lots at pre-arranged prices without risk of driving the price upward or downward.
The second category involves so called “ex-clearing” lots. Certain transactions may clear and settle outside of the regular clearing system ("ex-clearing" transactions), where two dealers make an arrangement to settle trades between themselves and outside the clearing system.
And a possible 3rd explanation, mentioned, but not yet proven, is the possibility of shorts covering on the bid...after the close.
And, then, there might be a 4th explanation...AG could have gone back to its old practices before it went through several name changes, a R/S, the dumping of billions of shares, etc., as it still has some questionable characters in management positions...
It is what it is...and we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free. Not trying to cause the PPS to drop...just offering some reasons that might be keeping it down. Some have mentioned on this board some things that bother them...and their observations are well noted...
The truth be told, I would think that some shareholders that bark the loudest at posters that are speaking their thoughts, heart, and previous DD, are those that are probably hoping for the PPS to rise high enough so that they can either break even, or make a profit from shares bought at a lower PPS. JMHO, of course, FWIW
Just in case you have not noticed...VFIN has assumed a familiar position on the ask...never a good sign when he is on the ask... I hope I am wrong...
What would that $3M sale price of One Bode mean to the financials?
It can be a loss, and not claimable and be a killer...or, it can be a big boost to the overall bottom line, and move the PPS.
Bottom line is the 3-4 billion OS/float...forget which it is... LOL
This huge a float is a dead weight. It also should give light to the manipulation of the MMs and shorts, as they have cleverly moved the stock up...and down with just a few million shares traded... No way that should happen with such a large float...
Small volume is not enough to draw the daytraders in as big players...
IMHO big shareholders are NOT selling...as common sense would tell us that there are so many holders of many millions of shares that any one of them could crash the PPS and send it spiraling...even NIGHT mentioned this, I believe, in a previous post. Any one of them could buy up that support at .012 that everyone is talking about and it would be bye bye...
Besides, there is no way that one huge holder could begin to sell his shares without it falling dramatically.
This is just manipulation...along with some small holders panicking and selling their positions... JMHO, of course, FWIW
We all know that the MMs go the way of the money, whether it be the bears, or the bulls. It depends on the way that the wind is blowing...
Of course, they do, from time to time, go against the way that the wind is blowing...tending to give in to big bucks that have alternative agendas for the stoppage, or the running of a stock...
You are a sharp guy, and I enjoy reading your thoughts...as well as a few others on this board. I know you have seen this going on... JMHO, of course, FWIW
The shorts buy on the bid, just as you and I are allowed to buy on the bid... It is no secret, as, if it is legal for regular investors to purchase shares on the bid side, then, it is legal for the shorts...and happens every day... Not JMHO, but that of others that have written about it...
