I don't think that is it. I have a different theory for the quick drop. Stop losses set at the the 4.10-4.20 level that we were at for such a long time begin to kick in causing PPS to drop further kicking in more stop losses until they are washed out. Then new rounds of buying start as people get back in. Now it is a confidence issue. People are asking, " Do I wait a bit for it to stabilize or is this the bottom." "Do I want to be left on the sidelines if there is good earnings and this spikes?"
I think it will be chopping until earnings.
Then again, I could be just plain clueless!
The money that I had is all in now, so I don't like this sub 3.45 PPS one bit!
Not looking very encouraging now. Broke below last support and closed at the low of the day. They had better do something fast to stop the hemorrhaging.
A close at or above 3.55 would be encouraging to me.
Back in September the price jumped from this level. I believe it was news of President and CEO Looby, making insider moves. I am hoping someone does the same here, taking advantage of the low PPS. I think there are some hard-core believers in the company, that will provide support/bottom here. I expect a move back to 4.00 (even with little news) and hoping to 5.00 relatively soon. If we get an earnings release that meets expectations, the move will be toward 5.00, if it is better than expected, 6.00+.
Right now, I don't see that happening.
Again, just my take.
This is what I have been waiting for, in order to make my first purchase. I have a buy waiting should it hit 7.75.
Ekso to release financial report 7 March
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ekso-bionics-report-fourth-quarter-210500137.html
Would rather have a good earnings report release
Picked up more at 3.45...done shopping... out of money...lol
Wouldn't hurt
Got my 3.60 shares, now have a buy at 3.50 but it did not fill when it was down there. I guess I got it in too late.
So far my plan has come together, I got in at the prices I was holding out for. All the funds from when I stop lossed out are back in at a much lower avg./share. I going to try for one more purchase and hold on there.
Now I just hope the other half of the plan comes together. Bounce off lows of 3.45-3.46 and then make the climb back to at least 5.00.
Thanks for the info Rhet...read much of it and watched the video. Still reading the patent info. Just wanted to thank you for your efforts and for sharing.
I absolutely believe that the research done and technologies that are developed by EKSO while working on the TALOS project have and will continue to be critical in advancing to a better exoskeleton, but I don't think the money will come from selling suits to the military. The CFO stated that the home market is where they want to be in 2-3 years. Talos grants allow them to develop the patents like those you have referenced, but I believe the intent is for the advancement of the medical devices to be the end results of the research.
It then dropped back to around 3.78 and held for about 7 days, then dropped to the lows at 3.45-3.46. History repeating?
Looks like on Sept 12 it did the same thing. Just about the same price range (low and high). Still hoping to catch any dip, but it feels good to be even at $ 4.00.
All of a sudden some volatility, a lot of action, what gives?
Just noticed that in after hours trading PPS had one of those quick drops that I mentioned before. Not quite enough to him my most recently set buy in point of 3.60. It was briefly at 3.68, just .08 away. If I happen to get in I will have 880 shares at a cost avg. of 3.90. When the stop loss kicked me out at 4.75 I only had 735 shares at over 5.25 avg. cost.
Had to try to make lemonade out of lemons I was handed. With any luck this may set me up pretty nicely to not just regain my loss, but make something even if it just gets back the 5.00 plus mark.
Money, in my post #2921 there are 2 links, the second is an interview with CFO Max Scheder-Bieschin. Around the 3 minute mark he says although TALOS has enabled them to attain about 200 patents it is not scalable.
@ money...Rhet will probably disagree, but I don't believe TALOS is where the money is, I believe it is a great platform to develop software and access new technologies through partners in the project. I don't think we will see a solely Ekso TALOS suit. I believe their initial money is in the industrial products. They have actual product, in that area, getting to customers. It is a more affordable product with wide applications. They need the income from that to continue advancements in the medical department until the suit becomes more widely accepted by rehab institutions and until technology advancements allow for a safe home use product.
Just my thoughts.
Now at a very thin support level set in beginning of Sept '16, could easily drop to the lows of that month. At that point is where I will start sweating. If I get more at 3.60, it is anyone's guess as to where it goes from there. Starting to get to the point that we need some really good news to turn it around. It would be great to see insiders pick up some more shares down here, it would demonstrate confidence on their part that they believe things are better than the share price indicates.
Filled the rest of my long standing order at 3.80, just set a new buy at 3.60 in case it should test the lows set in Sept. '16. I really would like to see it take off but I want to be ready for one of those intra-day drops and recoveries.
Hit my 3.80 buy in mark but only had a partial fill of a lousy 42 shares...why did they bother.
There is a difference between a lender making a profit on their loan and shareholders seeing an increase in share price. They are getting their interest payments up front as the loan is paid off and they are always ahead of the common shareholders if the company goes belly-up.
@ radly...I'm beginning to feel the same way, PPS doesn't move enough to even trade this thing. I said, months ago, this is dead money. I got kicked out at 4.75 with a stop loss, I bought some back at 4.20 and 4.00. It has been stuck between 4.00 and 4.10 ever since. I wish it would either drop back to previous low support level (3.80 or less) so I can pick up more or just move up from here. This treading water is frustrating.
If you take a look at RWLK chart, they had the same performance. The longer this stays flat the less confidence I have. All it takes is one one bad news release or short attack, whether justified or not.
What ever happened to the earning report? They put out the "preliminary report" but no follow up with details.
This line from the announcement says it all..."We expect that any comprehensive agreement that would be based on raising significant new capital is likely to result in significant dilution to current shareholders and potential losses for other financial stakeholders."
Glad I held off...down to 2.17 in pre-market on news of 6-K
I have been watching SDRL for a little while because I was looking to make an initial purchase. I first looked at the 52 week chart and expected the moved to down to $3 and decided to look at whatever news came out and see which way it moved from there. To me, it looks like thin support here to about $2.50 then $ 2.00. At first I was thinking about buying in at 2.50 but am going to hold off because I think it will be back at $ 2.00 shortly.
Todays posts kind of cemented the decision to wait.
I agree, that was another reason I held off on buying in. I was afraid of a dividend cut or one that was less than investors wanted to see. That seems to have happened. The question is, where to from here?
OK, got it. Thanks. I am still looking to take an initial position. I have hesitated because I have been worried about an overall market correction that would take the stock down below $8. There was about a week long sideways period but looks like it's on the rise again.
When you say a nickel more than expected...expected by whom? I saw that you mentioned it but were there any actual analysts or anyone else expect that?
Seems like people expected more than that since it sold off immediately upon the actual announcement.
Since June of last year the estimates have been anywhere from 8.00 to 21.00 and we haven't even been close to 8, only briefly in the 6.50 area. I don't put much stock in those. For 3 month now this stock has been dead money. While we seem to be at a strong support level, I see know reason this will move any time soon. There has been no news for a while. I am still holding the shares I have and I have the same buy orders in should we hit a drastic downturn. For me, this thing doesn't even move enough to trade in and out of.
None of that mentions expenses or amount of loss. Obviously other investors feel the same way. If they thought that info was great, the PPS would still be climbing after that initial bump after the press release. It has given some of it back and has been rather choppy. Still nothing to get me excited .
Ok, it's good to see increase in revenue, now what about the rest of the story? Need to see full earnings report before I get excited about anything.
The 3.80 buy that I set some time ago almost kicked in. I set it for just the reason we saw this AM. A sharp, quick drop followed be a recovery. Almost doesn't count though...LOL
I just have a feeling that an overall market correction is coming and that will take NAT a bit lower. Am I being too greedy waiting for it to pull back a bit more before jumping in. If it tests the recent low of 7.57, that would be a 10% drop from here. (for a 12% dividend stock)
Looking at the charts, do you think NAT could see a test of the 7.75 area before heading back up? It would have to happen before announcing of dividend.
