I agree.
Why did TDCP rise 26% yesterday in the closing two hours with heavy trading? A combo of factors are possible. First, the stock was oversold. TDCP has been oversold for the last two weeks. An oversold stock can skyrocket for no reason at all other than the fact that it is oversold, especially penny stocks. Second, the trigger on this stock is pulled all the way back. There is a lot of tension. We all know the stock is going to go up, we just don’t know when. The anticipation factor alone can cause sudden jumps in the pps. TDCP is pushing the technological envelop with new and exciting technology. Our investors have a lot of confidence in the stock and have stayed with it through thick and thin. Third, we are expecting good news. We can expect good news from TDCP in the immediate to near future. The good news can take a host of different forms. It’s possible a false rumor hit the stock and this caused it to rise rapidly. Finally, the good news does exists-- but it has yet to be released! Perhaps we will find something out today after the closing bell. All in all, I must confess, yesterday’s action was a bit unusual (and welcome). More often than not, when a stock closes the way it did yesterday, she will break the speed limit the next day, at least at the opening. This did not happen today. ?????
Maybe it was a false rumor that hit TDCP late yesterday?
What happened? I just got back. I left for a few hours and I come back and my little baby went into overdrive!!. I can't find any news that would cause this rise in the pps. Any thoughts?
Looks like we are going to need to get some news to get our 3D stock in overdrive. She might start to slowly drift upward. What is most important is that she does not drift downward. The worst appears to be over. The advantage we have is that there are a number of different sources from which the good news may come from. We can get good news from Boeing, the ATC--when they wake up, the NSF, NASA and the expected submission to the FDA by TDCP sometime this year-- just to name a few. In any case, the stock seems to be consolidating around this area which is good too. I know TDCP works closely with OU. I wonder if OU allows their students class credit if they work with Dr. Refai on CSpace? I know the 10-K said TDCP hires consultants for work but I wonder if they use OU students too?
Da Stock, Ameritrade shows ILNSD on my computer and it allows me to trade the stock. I tested a buy order for ILNSD to see if it would take it and it did. Recommend you call Ameritrade and get a fix.
Apparently you have, but I have never seen a penny stock do this well after a r/s. There is a better than decent chance ILNS will be bought out in the near future. I am not certain but I think Dr. Chain et al. have a plan. They are waiting for those creditors who converted their debt into shares to sell their shares and clean-up the books a little. Then comes the buy out!! Does anyone else see any kind of “plan” in operation to get this company sold? Can anyone think of any other possible scenarios?
This r/s has been like no other I have ever seen. All I can say is that I wished I had not sold out before the r/s. That was a big mistake. I cannot believe what I am seeing. First, we start the day at .51. And ever since the r/s, ILNS has been doing great. I have never seen a r/s like this one. Is there any chance Dr. Chain will do another r/s again? Maybe we should put in a request. lol. Good luck to all.
What is going on with this stock! WOW!! .51!!
Scottrade said the most likely reason my .046 order did not get filled is because I did not make the order Good Till Cancelled. They said by putting the order in every day, it basically put me back at the end of the line.
Not filled yet. I cannot believe this.
I am not going to fall for that trick! You're trying to get my shares at .046!! lol.
Will somebody please sell me some shares at .046? I still have not had my order filled!!!
When I saw blocks of TDCP sold today at .45 and I had an order in at .46---well I was a bit upset. I admit it. LOL. I tried to figure out what Humphrey Bogart would do in a situation like this and I decided to slap Peter Lore around a little (The Maltese Falcon). I then felt much better.
My friend, if you think I was bashing, then you don't know what bashing is. Well, I guess you called it "light bashing". Just because someone thinks the pps is going to go down does not make them a basher. I know I have benefitted from times when those who knew a stock better than me advised me to hold off because the pps would likely go down. They were not bashing the stock and neither was I. A basher is bearish on the stock, even when it is going up. I have always been bullish on the stock. Also, if you note, I did not recommend those who held ILNS through the r/s to sell ALL of their shares, just a FEW of them to reduce their losses. And if they had sold at .19 or .17 today, they could have gotten back in at .12 and made a nice profit--and reduce their losses. Thus, my advice was totally correct!!!!!! Finally, there are some people here who are not sure how to handle this kind of situation and I have had people ask me what I would do. Just yesterday I was asked by someone what they should do. You guys who think I was bashing need to cool off and show a little more confidence in ILNS. We are all going to make money. Good luck to you.
For two days I have had an order in to buy more TDCP at .046. And for two days, my order was not fulfilled. The stock right now is trading in a very very narrow range--which I suppose is good in a sense.
Moon, any kind of good news will send TDCP off the launching pad. However, I don't think there is any technology that can protect us from ATC guys going to sleep! I can hardly believe that is going on.
If they sell 2B shares, that will make it very difficult, if not impossible for ILNS to get to $1.00 by December. Hopefully, they will not sell all of their shares but hold and let the stock go up and then gradually over a period of years sell slowly. I think this Dr. Chain has the magic bullet for Alzheimer's. Any pharmaceutical that solves Alzheimer's should be a billion dollar company.
I dont either Don. I want these guys to make money and be successful. I hope it stays at .19 today or even higher. But some people took a big hit and stayed in through the r/s. I was merely suggesting that they sell a FEW shares now and get some of their money back. ILNS is a great stock with a great future. By December, I can hardly imagine where this stock will be? $1.00 is possible. I understand some guys are feeling the heat with it going up and down today. I understand. No hard feelings.
I was bashing? hardly. This stock is going to make me a killing. I was trying to point out the advantage of selling a FEW shares now to recover losses. Believe me, I have no objections to this stock staying at .19 and never going back down again. That would be a very powerful bullish signal. I am sorry you are feeling some heat. Please keep cool.
Gee, it's too bad you did not sell a few shares and make a quick killing. Now its back to .10 or .002.
I do plan to buy back in for another week or two, maybe longer. I could buy a very modest position in a few days, but I will not invest serious money until later.
If Ameritrade is right, its 39.4 million.
If you held your shares through the r/s and you got burned big time, sell some shares now!! Get back some of your loses. This could hold but it is not likely. Generally, the orphan drug application which ILNS made is not a money maker for pharmaceuticals. This is a gift for those who got burned bad, sell some now and get some of your money back.
WOW, somebody just paid the equivalent of .0038 or .19!
I sold at .0016. .08 is the same as .0016 pre-r/s so it would have been a wash for me. I entered at .0022. At least now we know why ILNS did so well yesterday, the FDA application! I wish this stock would start trading so we can watch to see what happens.
Here is a somewhat interesting article from the New York Times (4/12/11) concerning 3D technology. TDCP is not mentioned.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/12/science/12tier.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha26
About 50 times higher than it is now (.06 to .09?)--at least for a day or two. I must admit I am shocked ILNS went up as much as she did today. A price rise like today is rare. R/S really hurt common stock investors big time. Even more so in the penny stocks.
I'll drink to that. .40 Cheers.
I think this r/s is 50 to 1. That means we will have divide the pps by 50 to compare with the pps and see how this baby behaves after the r/s. What do I do if she goes up instead of down? !!!!
Yes, that is pretty much my thinking too.
I will say this about ILNS. This stock should have tumbled today and gone further down from Friday’s drop. It did not. I’m worried that I may have made a mistake in selling all of my shares on Friday. Something good may have happened over the weekend that we have yet to hear about.
the slightest good news will send TDCP into orbit.
You're in a difficult position. It sounds like you do not have too much invested. If you can get out at costs, do it. You can buy back later after the r/s is over and the stock drops down again. If your investment is real small you can just ride it out. The advantage of riding it out is clear. If good news comes out in the mean time, you will benefit. The rest of us who sold out will be the losers!lol. Good luck.
I can tell you like pharmaceuticals. Your portfolio indicates that. The nice thing about pharmaceuticals is that your stock need never win FDA approval on any drug at all. The speculation factor alone will drive the pps through the roof. I was playing CTIC last year. I bought in CTIC in 2009 at .08. I sold CTIC last year for over $1.00. As you know CTIC lost FDA approval when they tried to do some short-cuts and not do what the FDA told them to do. No matter, I made a killing. It is true that ILNS is in the early stages but you can make big bucks at each stage Phase I, II and III. A buy out is possible. The Big Pharmas are losing their patents and they are looking for new drugs. The mores success ILNS has in the drug development the more likely a buy out occurs. Personally, I would not prefer a buy out. I think in 18 to 36 months this stock could be at $2.00 to $5.00 easily. A buy out would cut short all those gains.
Penny stocks are tricky. Very often the real asset value of a penny stock is not reflected in the pps. The true value of intellectual property, potential patents, etc. often are never seen on the balance sheet. It's very difficult to put a dollar amount on a patent application or a New Drug Application to the FDA. Thus, penny stocks can rise 300% to 1,000% in one or two days. Why? Because the value of the asset is suddenly acknowledged by the market. Either a major patent has been awarded or the FDA approved the drug for market. Of course, many times the 300% or 1,000% rise in the pps in a penny stock will disappear in days--but not always. My 500% calculation is based on my belief that this Dr. Chain has the magic bullet to cure or at least ameliorate Alzheimer's disease. His work is widely acknowledged in the medical community as significant in the Alzheimer's area. If I am correct, the value of the patent ILNS holds concerning Alzheimer's will skyrocket exponentially--a 500% increase would be a conservative estimate. In any case, the potential gain is worth playing ILNS in my opinion. Good luck.
It's very simple. R/S results in the pps going up--temporarily at least. So if you have 1,000 shares of stock selling for $1.00 and a r/s occurs at 2:1 you now have 500 shares of stock selling for $2.00. However, in the vast majority of cases the new $2.00 per share will not hold. Very often the pps will drop back to $1.00. Thus, the Common Stockholder is out $500.00 in value. For very healthy companies, r/s can be a wash or very little loss in value to the Common Stockholder. But for penny stocks which usually are in deep dudu, a r/s is the kiss of death for Common Stockholders. For penny stocks it is almost certain (with rare exceptions) the Common Stock holder will lose value. The stock price returns back to where it was originally or close to it. So why do a r/s? It's a way for management to raise money at the expense of the Common Stockholder. There can be contractual and loan agreement reasons that may force management to do a r/s. Always read the companies 10-Q's and 8-Q's for any kind of discussion about a future r/s. Hope this helps.
In defense of ILNS. I do not like the r/s anymore than any one else. On Friday, I took a loss when I sold my shares just like most people. However, we must remember two key facts. 1) We were told a r/s was coming. It was clearly stated in the February 2011 10-Q, page 13. I got out of ILNS several weeks ago because I feared that the r/s was coming. I got back in recently with a modest investment when it did not happen and I was afraid the stock would leave the train station without me. So I got back in with a small investment just in time for the r/s. We were warned! 2) Correct me if I am wrong: But I have tried to find out how many times ILNS has done a r/s. My info goes back to 2006 and since 2006 this is the only r/s ILNS has done! That is not a bad record at all. Some small pharmaceuticals do a r/s over and over. Not true with ILNS! In fact, this may be the first r/s for ILNS. I am not sure. It would be interesting if anyone could find out. Since the company was founded how many r/s have they done? Clearly, their record since 2006 for r/s is a good one. Now that the r/s is done, I can't wait to get back in once the post r/s pps settles down. I can now invest in ILNS with more confidence than ever. True, there will be common stock dilution in ILNS but that is manageable. Almost all small pharmaceuticals must engage in common stock dilution. We all know this about small pharmaceuticals and accept the risks. However, it is the r/s that is the real killer for investors. Thankfully that is now behind us. In any case, I expect to make 500%+ on my investment in ILNS by December of this year! Good luck to all.
I have yet to see a r/s where it was even steven for the common stock holder. ILNS maybe different in that regard but I will not believe it until I see it. I pulled out completely today from ILNS and took a small loss. I expect the post r/s pps for ILNS to tumble for a week or two. Then I plan to load up on ILNS. Normal common stock dilution I can handle but r/s are a different animal all together. They wipe out a hefty percent of your money in one day. In any case, the beauty of ILNS will be that we will not have that hanging over us anymore. ILNS is a great stock with a great future. I can't wait to see the pps in December.
My friend, I am sorry you took a hit today. I got hit too. However, all is not lost. Far from it. Now that the r/s is done for, we both can invest in ILNS with added confidence. Of course, there will be common stock dilution in the future--but at least not a r/s--which is the real killer. ILNS I believe is going to be substantially higher by December, if not earlier. All of your losses will be wiped out and you will have a big profit on top of that. After the r/s hits, just wait awhile for the ILNS pps to settle down a bit and then buy back in. I expect to make 500%+ returns on my money this year in ILNS. I know you will come out on top big time too. So just forget about ILNS for the weekend and enjoy yourself!!
