That being the case,hold off on concurrent pr with ASCO presentation.Won't accomplish anything.PR that on Friday to lessen the impact on Monday.Or,PR that after ASCO .Don't tell shareholders you are PR'ing at the same time as the presentation.Now you have them looking for much more than what you can deliver.
I shared the email I got from Leo yesterday.Why would he do that knowing "No News" was the "Event".
Investors are prepped for Monday.Didn't have to happen but it did.Leo is not stupid.He would not build people up like that.It would make him look "less than honest".That is not his M.O.

Thanks my friend.I just voice my opinion using common sense.
I try not to wear rose colored glasses and want CTIX to grow like everyone else wants it to.I just don't want people led one way or the other by some.That's why I use the common sense approach and not the scientific.Many investors are not scientists or technical analysts but most do understand level thinking.
Hope all is well!Kelt
Interesting how some who were "Gung-Ho"now seem to be getting humble and modifying expectations of things from ASCO and the coming PR.
JMHO but here's my take.Re:ASCO, remember that CTIX (Dr.Shapiro abstract) was chosen out of 1000's of applicants.That means that whoever is presenting at these poster sessions are the "Who's Who" at ASCO.
For the expenses one would incur attending ASCO,this is not a "shopping trip" .Nor is it a "dog and pony show" like a normal trade show would be.This is meeting your "peers" face to face.
For CTIX to be PR-ing in conjunction with the Poster presentation tells me that whatever news they have is good to great."Fair to mediocre" or even poor news could be PR'd after ASCO or they could try to mitigate things before ASCO by downplaying the event.That is not the case here.PR'ing "Non news" at the same time as ASCO would be shooting yourself in the foot twice.One by ASCO and the other by compounding it through media.If no real news,let ASCO come and go "quietly" and brace for a long quiet summer.
Kelt
I didn't chase it any further than that.You could be right but it is my understanding that Dr.Shapiro would be doing an oral presentation.
Kelt
Sunday is the CTIX oral presentation by Shapiro.
Monday is the General Poster Session (Abstract # TPS2627)Scroll to bottom and you'll find Shapiro.
Kelt
To find CTIX look for Dr Shapiro.
On the main page click on "Meeting Program" then click on the "access all" sentence.
Then up top click "search for sessions"
Then scroll to the bottom and put "Dr Shapiro" in the search field (don't worry about the abstract #)
It will bring up 2-3hour sessions on Sun & Mon at 8AM.Click on the titles and you will find Dr.Shapiro.
Definately not an "Investor friendly" site.
Kelt
This is the linkto what I got on the ASCO site.
Sun/Mon 8-11 Poster presentations involving Dr.Shapiro.

CTIX PR-ing to coincide with poster presentation per Leo
Hi,
We will be issuing a press release coinciding with the poster presentation which will update all. Unfortunately there is no audio available for us to use there.
Best regards,
Leo

Hi Leo.
In today's PR Dr.Menon said "We will be presenting the most recent data available from the clinical trials of Kevetrin hosted at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,"
Will these updates be available to shareholders over the course of the weekend as well?(I don't see where there is any media to listen in with).
Thank You,Jim
Everybody has hope.Confidence however is "Hope with supporting data".
We have Confidence.
If all one has is "hope" then close your eyes and pick a company and invest blindly and "HOPE".
Kelt
Hard to tell.Could be Sunday.According to ASCO site,Shapiro doing the poster presentation Sunday and Monday,8AM-11AM.
PR could be Sunday AM?
Kelt
Speak hyperbole if one wishes.This investor has better things to do.
Quote Eienstein,Plato,Hemmingway,F.Scott Fitzgerald,Groucho Marx if one wishes.CTIX will fall on quiet periods and rise on news,period.I didn't buy to sell at $1.41, I bought to wait for the buyout.
Where were the "naysaying yoyos"when I was buying at $.45-$.54???
What's the matter,,,Radar busted?Maybe could have driven it to $.20 if the Radar worked?? (Must be using someone elses radar)
I consider myself a pretty good Bull Sh_t artist in my own right but occasionally I like to sit back , relax and watch wannabees try to achieve the "elite" levels that I have.Please , carry on by all means.
Kelt
Few words,many words,convince me with Caps and punctuation.Also,quantifying and qualifying the remarks with details and supporting data would be a "plus".,,,not Einstein.
Kelt
Huger??? :) OOOO,,,KKKKKK
To quote "The Fonze","Correctamundo!!!"
If a "pea-brained" investor like myself can figure that out then , maybe I'm smarter than I give myself credit for.
CTIX investing is like an ocean voyage.You float up on the swells and drop down in the troughs but that's not the object of the voyage.It's the destination that counts.
The ups and downs mean nothing as long as you reach your target destination.
Not knowing the destination makes the voyage an effort in futility
for those who just want to trade,who don't know where this ship is headed.If they knew where this ship was headed and the news cycle coming they would be too afraid to trade.Bad DD works both ways.
Kelt
If they didn't PR before the cc,it could still be considered "non public" sharing of info.They will PR either before or at the same time as the cc.
Kelt
Which would tell me that they knew the news back then too.
Kelt
Has it occured to anybody that they could have released news back 2weeks ago but with other developments (buyout,additional partners,positive developments on the FDA front,etc) as a result of the success of the trials,they decided to wait and incorporate the developments into the news release?????
Keeping the self imposed January deadline and building the "biggest bang for the buck" PR in the process???
Kelt
Shorts can't borrow shares that are committed.GTC orders are committed shares.Some brokers allow high sells some don't ( to allow loaning if thresh hold is breached).TD has been great.
Kelt
Not so.
kelt
Do what you have to or move to TD or another.Don't play their game.
Kelt
that is what I am saying.If enough people lock up their shares,Shorts can't "borrow"them to short with and use your shares against you.Remember,we are retail investors.Institutional investors will not show up until much later when the SP is in the dollars.MM's and shorts , meanwhile have a field day with us puny retail investors.
Kelt
if you have a cash or margin account,your shares are "available" for "loan".Lock them up.
Kelt
Not true.Do it!
Kelt
If enough do this,Shorts are f@ed.
Kelt
Locking shares keeps short supplies eliminated.
kelt
I am new here.If you have credence here spread the word.
Kelt
Today was filled with "selling below the ask and buying below the bid".Shorts had a field day and MM's were happy to help.
My suggestion works.Use it!!!!
Kelt
We did this on another board.It works!!!
Kelt
PEOPLE!! SEE POST 42205!!!!!!!!
Get even with MM's and shorts?Check here.
Many types of accounts allow shorts to "borrow"shares to short with.Don't let them.
I say start a "union" here and every long put a "Good till cancelled" sell Order on their shares.Set it at $3.55 (so it can be tracked as a group here)
When you do that,shorts cannot borrow your shares without permission.They are locked out.
Until then,they have free reign.Lock up your shares (you can always change the sell order if you have to)
Select someone here if you wish to keep tabs on how many shares are locked up so that we all know how many shares "we"actually control and everyone here will know how much "clout"we have with the company and the shorts/MM's ability to use our shares against us.
Kelt
I believe it's the "pink sheets" that you can't.
Kelt
Thanks TP.I may be wrong but I bet the MM's were trying to hit the "Stop Loss"thresh hold and when they finally did it unleashed a whole wave of selling.A lot of new money coming in and we have seen this before with the "Stop Loss"phenomena.
In "pennyland",stop losses are suicide.
MM's can see these thresh holds and they become open targets.
Use them on AAPL or GOOG or Proctor and Gamble,not AMBS!!!
Kelt
To JPetroInc.Thanks for the kind remarks.From someone of your stature,I am honored.
Regards,Kelt
If they got their message out yesterday and today,He won't be hunting them,they will be hunting him.
Kelt
I have only been following this board for a few days.I have been on other boards here and elsewhere for 4 years and seen it all.
Today's action is totally illogical,or is it?
There are 2 scenarios at play here.AMBS has been steadily growing from $.004 up to the $.13's.Begging for a smackdown.
Today it started to push higher but was finally smacked down.
Scenario#1:Shorts had to cover.MM's needed to replenish their inventories.Result..Smackdown.
Scenario#2:Shorts still had to cover and MM's still needed to replenish their inventories.Result...Smackdown.
The writing is on the wall.Either there is more news coming and "they"are getting ready for it or the SP is going to keep rising as it has been and they still have to get ready for it.
Until this gets into "Dollar land" and higher,it will be subject to volatility and spikes and dips.
According to today's conference,AMBS is in negotiations with several companies for possible partnerships who have the methodologies to deliver the drugs to the brain areas where they are needed.AMBS is deciding which to partner with to best suit their means of dealing with the FDA.
That could be the next major news.
Today's actions demonstrate a concerted desperation effort to manipulate the price in advance of a major upward movement.
Kelt
In all honesty,hedge funds and investment firms are restricted by their rules such as SP and volume and board listings.
Under a buck.....you are dealing with retail investors (you and me).Getting to $2.00 will take news getting out to the public.NBC,CNN,MSNBC,NYTimes,WSJ are no help.
Spread the news.Share the joy.
AMBS will be much better off with a steady climb than to explode to $.50 just to have shorts drag it back to $.20.
The only people who want $.50 could likely be the ones who want to sell into the climb.
"Steady goes the course .Man the sails and keep a true heading".
Kelt
For "Solantey"and CO.I'm a big fish in a small pond on some boards but here just a small fish in a big pond.
I will say that I have never seen people "RUSH FOR THE EXITS"on good data.
I have seen Asset Allocators "walk"to the exits if they don't think things are happening fast enough or the news cycle is going to dry up for a while.
Will this stock "Moon Shot" tomorrow? I don't know.The data presented was compelling.Are investors scientists?Not really.
12 people in the room?For every person in the room there are probably 1000 watching the webcast.
This presentation was (typical of Dr's and scientists)by scientists /for scientists.Scientists are notoriously not good at "PROMO".
Tomorrow will be the "Sales Pitch".
Don't go away mad,,,just go away if your attitude is the best you can offer on such a promising company and data results.
Kelt
Thanks.I must have misread it.
Kelt
Gotcha!! Thanks.
Kelt
AHHH HAAAA!!!
Hey TP.I picked up some shares here too.I see on the PR that they say 4:40PM but when I go to the One Med site it lists a 1:40 presentation?
Am I missing something?
