What were they thinking when they released, roughly one month ago, proclamations of “the most productive quarter” on record and intent to “increase shareholder value consistent with intrinsic business value soon”? If they were serious, where is the ACTION? Do we now have an irreversible crisis of credibility? No more time for silence and inaction..,
Folks bought the hype in early-mid 2018. The company’s PRs were not “meaty” enough (as I said THEN) to sustain the PPS. Now, 2 years later and approaching 1.5 years since the CaverStem trial ended on 8/28/18, we are no closer not clarity on so many business fundamentals that sustain the value proposition and shareholder equity for ANY business—in fact, the silence and lack of explicit follow-up have gotten markedly WORSE...
Moreover, do you think that potential PATIENTS down the road may be interested in what INVESTORS in CELZ experienced and have had to say through the years? I’m guessing “yes.” Reputation is EVERYTHING...
In addition, as someone sagely pointed out elsewhere, it’s more than a little ironic that a company that touts how it will use social media to build its brand awareness doesn’t at the same time recognize that ALL the analysis and chatter online will follow it FOREVER—including the R/S. They will NEVER succeed in running from it. They have ONE bite at this apple: drop napalm and get this this valued right, or say “sayonara”—to this AND any OTHER future ventures (see the logic above).
In theory, I’m inclined to agreed. Problem: life isn’t lived in the mind. Contrary to their last release’s claim of “delivering,” they appear to have overpromised and UNDERDELIVERED (Russia, cachexia, CaverStem): it’s not as if they haven’t had AMPLE time in the last two YEARS to deliver actions that the MARKET will recognize as valuable...
Dickerson’s profile on LI touts that, while at CMTH from 2014-present, he “maintained market capitalization of $50 million...” He might wanna update that text: the market cap is and has for some time been under $75 THOUSAND.
Two years into CaverStem commercialization (Q4 2017 according to their own filings)—and revs are a whopping $50K for each of the last two QUARTERS. If my educated guesswork math is anywhere near correct, that amounts to about 42 procedures per QUARTER—or fewer than one per DAY enterprise-wide. Wow. No wonder we’re in the depths of this cesspool with a “rewarding” R/S just around the corner...
I think the point he’s making is that the market didn’t even look up from carving its pumpkin, eating Halloween candy, or preparing Thanksgiving to pay ANY attention whatsoever to this “news”= par for the course I’ve the last 1.5 years...
Happy thanksgiving to the longs: waiting, hoping, and thankful
On what do you base the assertion that he’s wrong?
+1. Bona fides MUCH in need...
So are you saying that there is no potential scenario whatsoever under which either Tim himself or the parent company could infuse that (and other) money into CELZ? I think we both know that to be untrue...
I didn’t assert it as fact, I merely suggested that it is possible. Intriguing—and new—scenarios coming outta nowhere
Or perhaps it wasn’t owned by CELZ at all—but my the parent company or by Tim individually. Lots of possibilities
But what if the transaction occurred after 9/30/19–perhaps VERY recently? It wouldn’t be in the filings yet ??
And what exactly would prevent him from using that money to buy massive shares? NOTHING.
The order of the elements concerns me GREATLY: get bought out and THEN “zip” to .006? Indigestion this early in the AM?!
I certainly hope you’re right. In any event, thanks for sharing your unique and particular insights.
Bottom line: do you expect the R/S to be executed?
Just a few short months ago in April, you recommended averaging down, “if she even survives”: how does one go from even THINKING those words to now acting like we’re about to make a run on NASDAQ?
The only “huge run” I care to see is .0002-.07+ —and NO R/S. Anything else will fall on MANY deaf and disgusted ears.
Many of us have averaged down from multiple pennies to within a hair’s breadth of “no bid.” Who can blame them for being skeptical at throwing even more money in—when all that they’ve supplied to this point has been eroded, while the company has gone almost completely dark with any meaningful, meaty comms—and the “commercialization” of CaverStem has been GLACIAL ($50K net revs for an entire quarter—now more than a year in...)?
Maybe they have news that they KNOW will make it go “boom” after the R/S—but if that’s the case, why not release the news NOW and see what the stock can do on its own (a future R/S being in no way foreclosed to them, if they should need it)?
Noodle on this: a 1:50 R/S, even at .0003 (and right now we’ve been at .0002) would only take us to .015. Given the rationale provided by the company (the R/S is intended to raise the PPS sufficiently to get us back on the QB), that would leave us perilously close to the point of falling below .01 AGAIN. Makes ZERO sense to me—which makes me question whether the R/S is even going to happen.
Similarly curious: BID volume at 125-150MM all day during trading for last week or so. Very strange to see such great demand in advance of R/S, no?
I’m sorry—but NO: NO more distractions, NO more deferrals.
CORRECTION: someone is WANTING to buy, but so far it’s not being filled...
Bottom line: I’m trying to get into the millions with this stock. If that means 6MM shares at .20 or 2MM shares at $1–I really don’t care.
As to the REAL question: who is lining up over the last week or so to buy 100-150M shares? Every someone sells, someone else is gobbling them up. Could THAT be silent but very positive sign for us longs? Perhaps insiders buying back shares for next to nothing—in advance of canceling the R/S? That would be DIVINE. No matter what, someone seeks to load up...
Yes—but when it goes to $1, who will have more: someone with 100K shares or someone with 1MM shares? It’s cheaper to net 1MM shares AFTER the split by buying 50MM now than to wait until the PPS is 50X higher (and possibly climbing more). The 1MM shares would cost a fortune more then. Am I missing something?
Perhaps—but post-split the same amount of $ buys 50x FEWER shares
Perhaps because they’ve had hemorrhagic loses to this point, so their only prayer to recover some of them, once their share count is divided by 50, is to buy multiple millions now.
Correct. A “boost” to .01 is LAUGHABLE—and there’s no guarantee that the PPS won’t tank AGAIN even after we take the drubbing of a R/S...
I fear that I believed more than was justified. This group has done almost NOTHING among all the many things they COULD have done to promote and communicate consistently and aggressively.
What point, monte? They continue to operate like a Mickey Mouse, gum ball machine outfit offering nothing of serious and substantial monetary value ($50K for an entire QUARTER, despite the fact that we first heard about commercialization plans over a year and a half ago?!). Meantime the PPS has been driven into the dirt with only 2 ticks left. They have bungled this HORRIBLY—and now the loyal shareholders are about to get royally screwed. What am I missing?
I keep HOPING and believing that we will finally wake up from this nightmare (because I really do believe that there is significant potential here), but I have never seen such glacial execution on something where they should be driving insane action every minute of the day. Then to top it all, we are “rewarded very soon for our patience with a 1:50 R/S, the net effect of which will be to push our PPS “all the way up” to about .02. Forgive me for being madder than hell!
How can you possibly put lipstick on THIS pig? OS now swelling to probably at least 2.5 to 3B, 1:50 R/S coming before 12/30, and “commercialization” is “raking in” a whopping $50K a QUARTER—an amount that a decent-sized series of snack machines would generate.
And FYI: 24M shares is considerably less than a whopping $10K. If this company were all we thought it could be, you would have multiple folks dropping that kind of money EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY.
Probably because they know that if they have ANY hope of building wealth—with a 1:50 R/S just around the corner—that they need to grab massive shares and hope for the best. This really has become absurd
