Maverick, I checked out the video link you posted this morning and saw what you saw. Laughed when I saw the video came out just before DNRG announced the news about the deployment of the Rubicon, (I laughed because this morning only 150 people had viewed it.
All the particulars match as you said.
One point of interest is that the one in the video runs on wood gas. I dabbled with wood gas as it was very popular in WWII when gasoline and diesel were scarce.
For those not informed on wood gas it basically is the cooking of wood to release the gas. With this gas you can run internal combustion machines that run on gasoline.
What I find interesting about the one AVL talked about in the video is that it fits third-world countries more so than gasoline, reason being is that in Africa, Central America, and 'poor' countries, they are rich in natural resources (Congo) but poor in infrastructure and lack money for importing 'Western Oil'.
Wood gas can be generated by wood waste of logging/sawmill operations. Tree's are renewable. They are cheap in many countries. Combine wood gas with fuel cell = Wow!
I bought a million shares today@.005, took two trades. This was added to the 240,000 shares I purchased earlier at much higher prices.
Is the one in the video being made for DNRG? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm betting it is...
Thanks for providing the link.
I own eltp as well as have sold some over the year(s) for profit and then purchased more. I've stated I thought the company was going to get bought out 'soon' (last year). That is what is fun about message boards, to bounce and announce thoughts, right or wrong.
I've been wrong on some of my posts but correct in my choice of investing in ELTP.
There has been a lot of talk about Adcom and such and even the debate on what day the FDA will officially react. What I was wondering that IF the FDA approves with labeling in the near future (14th) how will the pps react? Nobody can predict the future, I know I can't but I can speculate.
Part of me thinks it might touch $1.00 but that there will be massive profit taking. The unknown could be that after the news there is more news such as the filing of more ( I believe two were mentioned) this would cause more activity.
No one knows what the pps will do on good news and actually are better at predicting the pps after getting bad news. Must say though, the company has progressed well and I'll be happy for any and all good news, and then maybe a buyout?
If anyone wants, what say you if there is good and complete success for the FDA announcement, or good but not complete success (adcom) or, bad... by 'say you' I mean a speculative pps.
Couch, it was fun watching you post, "Buy everything you can under __" in the past few years. Looking forward to when you get to start posting, "Buy everything you can under $2.00."
Amazing how 'well behaved' the stock price of this company has been. Any other OTC traded company with even a fraction of the good news ELTP has gotten and the price fluctuations would have been crazy.
ELTP only had one crazy price fluctuation and that was years ago when there was some euphoria. So, euphoria or reality? I like the reality of the past few years better. Also, I must admit, I thought this company would have been purchased by BP months ago, guess time will tell.
There is no 'we' regarding this announcement as each investor has different thoughts. There is only 'me'. And for me this announcement is different than announcements made by other companies I've traded in.
Emergency is usually a word used in dire situations thus 'not good' but of course I already know the situation is not good based on the stock price so a part of me wants to sell today.
But
The company released this news to let shareholders know there is a meeting. If the company, or any company, were going to declare BK they would declare first and then put the news out to the investor via an SEC filing.
I think (therefore I am) that the company is indeed squeezed at the moment which is why the lateness of filing reports. It could mean that management knows funds in the form of revenue are coming but are not here yet, sort of like, "We are broke but we're rich... Hold on for the ride."
Thus a part of me wants to buy more.
For me I will neither buy more or sell. I will watch and see just like the rest of the investors as on June 3 'we' all will see for ourselves.
I don't like emergencies, too often the patient dies, but sometimes there are miracles. At least though, for me, it is nice to see the company finally let investors know what's going on.
Good points.
Deals and partnerships truly do not mean much but with one exception, they are in place and needed. Will they bear fruit? Maybe, maybe not but they are there if needed...
Emerging markets are fantastic. Cars replaced horses. Jets replaced piston powered planes. Now we have computers, lasers, cell phones, and new ways of producing electricity such as what ASTI has and is selling. Enerplex is a product that is doing well and I didn't even know about it until a few months ago. I still find owning a cell phone as fantastic, now with smart phones, smart houses...wow.
I'm no stranger to solar as in Alaska I built an alternative energy system that had three Proven 6Kw wind turbines and 36 mono silicone solar panels for a total output of 24Kw. In the recent years the changes to solar are dramatic, to say the least. Researching the process ASTI has developed is nothing short of amazing.
One of the problems I encountered with solar is that unless it was mono,(actual slices of silicone) it was worthless. Sunlight would degrade the cheaper Chinese thin's, you may know, the cover of the panel turns yellow and efficiency goes down dramatically.
This company is like thousands of others out there in countries all around the world, they are hanging on. Strange that for all the billions of people there is massive debt, struggling companies; poor leadership? Corrupt governments? Something is wrong, whatever the cause is.
You are correct about time, it is on no ones side. The current price for ASTI shows the investor sentiment and is a true indicator of the status. As with time, it will change. It will rise or fall.
This company is no different in the evolutionary process than the environment, the strong survive the weak go by the wayside. Yes, other companies have solar, or whatever product, just as they too are struggling. For example: Mighty Exxon, bastion of investing security...got downgraded. Just another example of the signs of 'time'.
Will ASTI survive? Maybe. Maybe not. It is the investor that has to decide and this investor is thinking it will, of course I may decide to buy more, sell, or wait, it all depends on what time will reveal.
Good luck on your investments, hopefully better than mine at the moment, but I'm an optimistic (censored) I like looking at the glass half full.
Owning 78,600 shares of ASTI is nothing compared to most investors but it represents a large holding for me.
Some points regarding this company that have not been mentioned, at least I have not seen them.
1. Military/government deals. Read an article recently that the Air Force does not have enough parts or money for parts for the aircraft already owned. This tells me that the military complex/government is not spending money or investing in the military, rather they are spending it on social programs. This is easy to see as the Obama administration is very transparent on this issue.
NASA and other space programs are on hold with the exception of private companies funded by the likes of Google and billionaires.
Speaking of billionaires, point #2
2. Trump will be elected president of the United States, such as it is. For all the arguments for or against the man are irrelevant but what is true is that there are many rich people out there with money ready to invest. Farm land has been one investment, stocks are low on their screens, in short, they have hoarded cash, waiting.
Trump 'euphoria' will loosen those strings. The military under trump will make the military under Reagan look like the military under Obama. NASA: Race to Mars, etc... for those of you old enough just remember the power of NASA and space exploration during the cold war, remember how cost was not an obstacle? Do I like Trump? Not relevant to ASTI other than the company will benefit greatly with any other president than the one currently in office.
3. Looking at the numbers recently and even the comment by the CEO show there is more behind those numbers than he can say at this time. R&D, cost of sales, news of new outlets...to spend 10mil to make 700k+ either means great mishandling of business OR the seeds have been planted for future earnings MUCH better than current.
4. To cut back on workers and plans would make sense if not for the fact the companies products are selling. Yes, currently government is lagging but see #2 above, it will change as everything always changes. It would be foolish to cut back on workers as it is hard to retain 'good' workers especially in technology.
Just my opinion which is worth as much as dust on the moon, but I see great potential in this company. Twelve months from now it will be interesting to see how wrong or right I was but if the market was easy to make money in then everyone would be investing.
SEC filings tell it all.
The recent filings now show how this company is presenting itself as 'in trouble'.
One of the reasons I invested 'years' ago was due largely to the small amount of shares floating around and the fact the insiders purchased a lot of the stock, something they have not done recently and probably will no longer do. This alone is a bad sign.
$5000 in cash bodes badly. In fact the filings show nothing but bad news and they show that the mattress is not selling which would have shown up as revenue, this after being on the market now for a year.
I have tried to call the CEO twice in the past year and have not had my calls returned or answered by a real person, this is not good.
There is now 90+ million shares floating around, there is no buying interest, there is talk (always they talk) about this country or that country and it's all bullshit. Remember the hospital beds in what was it, Korea? Or was it Japan? And how about splitting the company into two divisions...Ha! Sounding more like idiots in charge.
Bottom line: I'm sick of this company now and it would not surprise me if it drops into the trips where the gambling traders can play but not me, I'm fed up with this company unless (and that's a big 'unless') something actually positive regarding revenue is shown. Not more, "Dr. Rajiblahblah went to a seminar," or, "Peru is thinking a doing a study with latex and lama's, stay tuned..."
Big bunch of horseshit and there is growing regret on my part for ever thinking there was 'hope' for this company.
Any more filings like this and I'm bailing. Shit...Okay, now I feel better. I'm sucking my thumb and standing in my safe place watching kittens play on a video.
It did not take me long to figure out the reliability of the price-per-share of ELTP.
I'm not the only one to have figured that while the price has risen in the past three years it did so on news, news that the CEO pointed out in the many CC he did in the past few years.
Even now the news, though only a prediction, shows a very high possibility of FDA approval and yet some complain the price is not 'to the moon'. The reason that it is not 'to the moon' is because many investors such as myself have sold shares and purchased stock in other companies that got beaten up, then after a quick 10%-50% recovery, selling and then investing the profits or original sale price back into ELTP. This is what I've been doing and doing very well.
I have left my shares purchased before the poison pill was put into place, plus many shares now way past long term capital gains. I use the 'last in first out' when playing with ELTP stock now.
If you noticed last week, the general stock markets lost greatly and there was a noticeable decrease in ELTP's price. Coincidence? I think not as yes maybe some investors got a bit scared and wanted to be in cash but some people, like me, sold to take advantage of blue chip stocks that got hammered but being blue chip, recover quickly in this strange market environment, so if next week some of the blue chips invested in recover I sell, and repurchase ELTP. For me, a win-win, and I'm not the only one doing this.
I've gone on record here that this company is ripe for a buyout and I still think that is at least a 98% possibility as once, or if, the FDA approves then it greatly increases the chances for the other /ELTP drugs.
In OTC land there is a lot of hype sometimes by management that causes wild price fluctuations but in ELTP ,management has acted as if they were not on the OTC as what the CEO has stated thus far has come true (though with some minor timeline adjustments beyond the companies control, FDA being the major thorn)
Yes, this company is one of my favorites and it will be interesting to see what the price of the stock will be when there is FDA approval and it will be very interesting to see the buyout price. Time will tell.
Why ask what you have already decided what is to be your acceptable answer?
Anything I will say now you will not agree with.
1. What is 'quick rebound' for you? Oil already has risen a bit thus the activity in other OTC traded stocks. Will oil 'bounce' to $100, yes, but not next week.
2. Water in the ground has been there, brackish, for many El Nino's and will remain. STW Resources has actively pursued a means to develop, regardless of the weather.
3. Facebook of course is nothing but the truth? Maybe one could go to the STW Resources 'page' and write that the 'family' has not been paid. Did you verify the person who wrote it? Did you write it? Did I write it?
I already pointed out why I'm comfortable in my investment with STWS. Much like a camper can be comfortable in the woods eating a sandwich while a bear is about to attack, at least the camper is comfortable in his surroundings until the bear attacks. This metaphor applies to my ownership of STWS, I'm comfortable until I'm not...
Will STWS make me money? At the moment I'm comfortable that it will. Will your comments about STWS sway my decision? No. Will my comments sway your decision? No. Thus, we both agree that we don't agree.
Risk and Reward. Sometimes the risk ends in failure, sometimes the risk ends in success.
Good 'luck' on your investing.
May you find happiness in your form of investing, if your style gives you great comfort and joy then enjoy every moment.
I know I'm completely happy with how I invest and what I enjoy.
The entire market is in the middle of growing pains, this being the advanced age of information availability, computer trading, numbers of investors, numbers of publicly traded companies. Your style of commenting is a perfect fit of the new age/style of trading compared to my comfort of trading long ago, back in the days before computers, internet, forums.
I enjoy observing your style but find my way much more profitable, both to the soul and the pocket book.
Prudent: I don't have IM but in answer to your question, yes.
1. Frustrating.
2. Oil industry has made stock prices drop to the basement and soar 100% on news normally that would not warrant such moves. Pick any publicly traded company in OTC land and it is obvious.
3. In publicly traded companies the wolves are noticed and heard much more than the intelligence of morality.
4. Talking with a friend in the oil industry, not high up in the chain of command but much nearer the top than the bottom has told me some fact regarding maintenance, and I'll just leave it at that.
5.Water and Oil, great combination.
So for just those five reasons, I say yes. I'm invested in STWS. Feeling good about it also.
We all will see what happens and as an investor I support management.
But if the company showed a picture of a tarp covered box then there would be those who scream, "Pump and dump. Company is a sham. Etc..."
The difference between an electric car and the technology that Dominovas and Delphi are working is confidential because it is new technology.
To let those who do not understand new technology, unlike theory, the practical applications are where the patents come into play. I'm willing to bet there are some new patents coming as Delphi and the company proceed. Thus to reveal more than the theory would/could be a detriment to the company and investors.
An example: I know how to build an atomic bomb. I can go to a library and find all there is to know regarding the theory and process, however I cannot build one, not because of lack of materials but because of the fine details in application.
If one researches what Delphi and the company have regarding the technical's of their stacked fuel cells, it looks easy but there is the devil in the details.
Yes, I'm long winded and I'm an investor in DNRG thus wanting nothing but reward. And though I can't prove it I have bet my money in this company because the past news regarding Delphi, and the other crumbs left that when gathered together add up to a complete picture.
The price of the stock is down for many reasons. Lack of revenue being the main force and the added dilution of stock. All of what I just wrote will become just more noise in the wind once the company is successful.
The only way I see this company failing is because of political instability of the countries involved but if one researches they will find DNRG has a diversity of countries wanting the technology so even if the Congo becomes extinct there are/will be many others willing to sign on.
Good luck on your investment.
As of this moment I now own a bit more than 240,000 shares. Not a lot compared to those who own so much more, but for me it represents a large investment.
I wanted to address the comments about the prototype or working Rubicon. Consider this: When Ford, GM, any automotive company have a new model they never show the vehicle without it being altered so as to not show the finished product.
Consider this: You are a company with a new product that stands to change an industry, in this case, stacking fuel cell technology. Do you want the world to see it before being in mass production/deployed? The logical answer: NO. Why? Ever see what China can do from a picture or a finished product in their hands?
"But there are patents, laws, no one is supposed to steal technology..." Again, ever see what China can do from a picture or a finished product in their hands?
If the company put out a picture of the machine with a large tarp covering it, people would laugh, but even this picture would give clues to size, and shape, clues competitors can use.
Delphi, Dominovus, it's partners, they know what's going on and the rest of us will know when the time is right.
What I want to see is a statement from the company pertaining to financing, updates as to production, and anything positive for the company. As for pictures, I'll settle for it once the company considers it safe to do so. Remember China? Or how about those who reverse engineer? Or, how about competitors? Do you think a potentially successful bio company is going to let the rest of the industry know their trade secrets? Or how about building an atomic bomb when it first was developed. Do you think the Americans said, "Hey world, we blew up Japan and this is how you build one of these nifty little bombs..."
May your investment in DNRG be successful and all those risking their hard earned capital, success. If not invested, do your research.
Yippee. Tried to buy 78500 shares today@.04 and got 20,000 shares. So thinly traded you almost need an oxygen mask to trade.
Mr. CEO, what's going on with the company? Are you napping on a vytex mattress?
I like owning STWS
I like the management
I have the right to express what I like regarding STWS.
I like how the company has been surviving in such a hostile economic environment.
I like how the company has overcome the hostile sentiments by those who would love to see the company fail, for their own personal gain, example being: those who want the price to fall greatly so they can profit from their attempts at manipulation.
I like what many posters here have to say as it really is good information.
I like that STWS is going to make me money.
Did I tell you that I like OWNING STW Resources?
pilgrim58,I can relate to your pain but I've averaged my cost down and since I have insider information I not only know I'm going to make money owning STWS I'm going to make a lot of money.
Not only do I have insider information I purchased a lot of STWS stock today because I only buy when I know great news is coming. I know great news is coming because I have insider information.
As to what that information is I cannot reveal it because it is insider information, however I can state the news deals with the water side and as an added bonus there will be a great 'surprise' in the oil side of the business. Great news really.
I enjoy your posts pilgrim58, thanks for sharing.
Today would have been a great day to buy VYST as someone decided to sell shares no matter what. How come those sellers are never around when I want to buy stock?
It is easy to see how little interest there is with this company, but that will change...some century, maybe when beds have little rockets on them and we're living on Mars.
Come on Mr. CEO, where are those updates? Maybe just put out a release saying, "Uh, yeah, um, I think so, but then again, okay."
Did you hear the news!
...
neither did I.
Seriously though, lets look at the facts: Company has a signed contract. Company is selling mattress/pillows at Gold Bond, Bed Bath and Beyond.
Selling means 'money in' ie revenue. At one time in an SEC filing it was mentioned that the board wanted to split the company into two divisions, wondering if they still are thinking?
Mr. CEO of VYST, where is the fulfillment of keeping the 'investor' informed? You mentioned it in the last filing but all I hear is snoring (myself, actually woke myself up)
My shares owned are all long-term capital gains but how can there be gains when this company is more boring than I am, and so darned quiet.
There will be an annual financial, probably in April. Maybe, just maybe the CEO will keep his promise and let the 'investor' know just what the heck is going on in this company.
Ah, warm weather, must be time to wake up...
So, what's been happening for VYST in the past month?
Quiet. Quiet. Quiet. Did see the Bed Bath and Beyond mattress with the vytex foam.
Maybe the coming quarterly will show some income?
No new insider buys which means 1. insiders broke like everyone else 2. nothing 3. they know nothing good is coming so why tie up funds 4. the company is in a quiet period waiting to be bought out.
Heck, at least the price of the stock is fairly constant. Almost bought some more today but bought another company sleeping at the moment.
Gut feeling tells me we should be hearing something in the next thirty days, probably wrong but we should at least be hearing something in the next 12 months...
Perkins, best honest post I have read here in awhile. Your sentiment is exactly like mine.
You hit on all the key points needed for an investor
1. You invested your money in ELTP, like me
2. You did exhaustive DD on ELTP, like me
3. You are waiting for a return on your investment on ELTP, like me
4. Your investment in ELTP has weathered your portfolio in a dismal market just like mine.
ELTP, my favorite company to own in this crazy market the world is seeing.
Good luck on your investments and especially in ELTP, of course, luck is not really needed what with the products and management ELTP has.
I sleep very well at night knowing I own a bit of this company, now as for those other companies I own? Yikes!
Update: Fast Growing New Latex Commodity, 2016 Guidance
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Jan 12, 2016) - Vystar Corp. (OTC PINK: VYST) CEO and President Bill Doyle recaps 2015 highlights and updates shareholders on Vystar's progress with Vytex(R), the new game changing rubber commodity developed, patented worldwide and owned by Vystar. Vytex has the lowest levels of allergenic proteins of any latex. Currently the proteins in Vytex are undetectable using accepted testing methods, thus not exposing the public. Products manufactured using Vytex versus regular latex have been shown to be stronger and are ecofriendly. Vytex has become the standard to which all other latex products aspire. Vytex has FDA clearances in gloves and condoms, and is being used in many other industries such as bedding and adhesives.
Vytex Raw Material Supply Chain
In 2016, Vystar will continue to expand, diversify and strengthen its Vytex supply chain with multiple international suppliers. Management has been vetting suppliers from specific countries and has established relationships with several who have proven to consistently produce high quality Vytex natural rubber latex (Vytex NRL). In the past Vystar has been unable to fulfill 100% of the demand for Vytex raw material in certain consumer industries like foam for mattresses. These new relationships will allow Vystar to meet the growing demand.
"Having multiple high quality Vytex raw material suppliers enables us to meet global demand, maintain consistent quality levels and competitive pricing," stated Doyle. "This is critical for expanding production while maintaining our exacting standards for Vytex."
Vytex Verticals & Related Consumer Products
"Vystar is focused on leveraging its patented technology as a licensing commodity company, as well as creating vertical consumer product lines," said Doyle. "This will allow Vystar to capitalize on higher profit consumer retail products. We have already made strong inroads into certain categories."
As a result of a partnership created in early 2015 with Nature's Home Solutions (NHS) Vytex NRL foam is currently being used for furniture and bedding in the U.S. In spring of 2015, manufacturers began producing the initial product lines of Vytex branded mattresses, toppers and pillows.
Independent bedding producer Gold Bond Mattress launched the Brilliance(R) line of Vytex mattresses, toppers and pillows. In an October 15(th) article in Furniture Today, Gold Bond President Bob Naboicheck was quoted, "The launch of our Brilliance collection was one of the most successful in Gold Bond's history. More and more people are backing away from visco and gel, and making the switch to Vytex, one of the most cutting-edge components available on the market today. The retailer demand for latex and eco-friendly sleep products is on the rise, and it was only natural that we expand the Brilliance line and incorporate more sustainable materials to accommodate our eco-conscious consumers." Links to recent media articles on Gold Bond's Brilliance line are here: Sleep Retailer, Furniture Today Vytex expands, Furniture World.
"NHS has done an excellent job in opening the doors to the furnishings industry for Vystar," stated Doyle. "Gold Bond has produced a superior, high quality line of Vytex foam and hybrid mattresses, toppers and pillows, which proudly bear the Vytex name. Vystar has been making great progress on partnering with additional manufacturers and we anticipate sharing details early in the New Year. In addition, we anticipate more vertical products will be launched in the healthcare and consumer markets."
New formulations
Vystar Board of Directors member Ranjit K. Matthan, PhD, introduced major advances in Vytex ultra-low protein latices at the International Latex Conference in August. The advances, properties and applications are potential game-changers for the health issues relating to VOCs and potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines for some latex products, such as balloons, condoms, catheters and other medical devices, as well as enabling cleaner and more sustainable work environments.
"In recent years, the latex industry has sought to reduce or eliminate the need for nitrosamines and ammonia in natural rubber latex to remove any potential health hazards for those with long-term exposure in the production of natural rubber latex and in the manufacture of natural rubber latex products in several end use applications," Dr. Matthan said. "New, expanded Vystar product grades make it applicable to a wider range of latex products with the advantage of improved environmental impact through reduced leachables and extractables. These advances finally deliver a simplified, sustainable, totally safe raw material that Vystar can offer for several applications without reservations about nitrosamines."
Conclusion
"We believe Vytex NRL is one of the most innovative brands in the marketplace and is breaking new ground in redefining and revitalizing the growing latex market," summarized Doyle. "With the recent product advancements, strategic partnerships and achievements, we are well positioned for driving accelerated sales growth and market share gains for Vytex over the next several years. Our ability to innovate and integrate products and categories with a completely authentic and distinctive position, then rapidly scale them across our fully integrated multi-channel infrastructure is a powerful platform for long-term growth and continuity."
Doyle noted, "We believe that Vytex NRL is better for consumers, workers and the planet. Vystar's unique product development, coupled with go-to-market and supply chain capabilities, offer a compelling combination of design, quality and value that we consider unparalleled in the marketplace. We appreciate the support of our shareholders and look forward to sharing every step of our exciting progress with you."

Holy smoke! They're alive! I was wondering where management has been hiding. Now I have to stay awake to find out what this coming news is going to be.
Exactly Couch, all this talk of .02 and $35 is just that, talk. The proof of it all is what a person is willing to invest in ELTP. And as you've so aptly been pointing out for a long time is the absolute proof of progress this company has under its belt.
Last week was a bloodbath for the overall markets and I did very well investing what I could afford in some blue chip oil stocks and immediately took that profit. Some have been doing such here also, the MAIN point of investing in ANY company is the money.
Between now and the end of this year is open for speculation on the part of the investor, but for the management of ELTP there is no speculation, rather just another day at the office continuing to improve on what they've done.
Best to you and keep up exposing the proof.
Why? It's my money and I chose to buy 14,500 more shares this morning @.35 and was prepared to go as high as .41, does not matter to me as all the matters is the eventual success of ELTP.
I first bought at .10 and .12 and based on the recent news .35 was great for me. And for me if the price of this stock drops like all the 'blue chip' stocks, I could care less for the short term as I much more interested in the coming days.
So much fun what with more news coming out that shorty gets to muddle through and I do love the change in tactics the CEO has by his chess game.
As for buying any and all below .35 I counter by saying buy at any price you have the funds to afford...
I go so far at to say, weird.
52 week high and then over 100% drop with much more volume than normal.
CEO said he would update investors, which I assume means sometime in 2016. Of course they also said they would split the company into two divisions, so, all in all, weird.
Owning stock in this company has been boring, long, and , weird.
A guy can't get any sleep anymore, geesh. What's up with the action today? 100 share trade at .14 then 190,000 down in the .05's.
Only three people in the world watch this stock and I'm one of them so the other two are playing with each other.
Found some more info on the vytex mattress tops - dunlop vytex.
If this weird activity keeps up maybe the company itself will wake up and give out some kind of news report, something they very rarely do.
Who can sleep on New Years Eve. Did some research at the Bed Bath and Beyond. They sell 14 latex mattress's and three of them have vytex.
Found another place selling vytex-dunlop latex mattress covers.
Could it be that VYST is waking up? That maybe, just maybe VYST might show some (dare i say it) profit in 2016?
And just think, I was so getting used to sleeping when the topic of VYST comes up in general conversation.
Oh, I almost forgot (sleepy and all) the best part of the Dec 8, 2015 article is:
Gold Bond’s training efforts have also resulted in positive feedback from both associates and consumers. “The first thing sales associates say when they lie down on the Vytex material is ‘Wow.’” Naboicheck said. “The response from the consumers is phenomenal, saying: ‘This is the best thing I ever did.’”
What if the price of VYST goes above .10? Might have to take viagra and some 'no doze' medicine.
Thanks for waking me up with that news. I've owned and followed VYST for a long boring time now. The recent trading activity/price is not 'normal'.
I too did a quick search and found http://www.hfndigital.com/news/better-tech-bed/
This is this months earlier news and I especially liked to read the following: Gold Bond uses Vytex in its Brilliance program, a six-SKU lineup that debuted during the spring High Point Market. “We’ve gotten phenomenal feedback from consumers,” said Bob Naboicheck, Gold Bond’s president.
Nice to see Vytex is getting some mattress traction, if my investment in VYST I might get some action on my mattress also...
Yikes! Here i was, nice and comfy taking a snooze waiting for another three months before seeing if VYST is alive and then what happens? The price jumps on no news, no nothing. Out of the blue volume and price.
i wonder what's up, anyone know?
"Nobody but you post on this sleepy board so you tell me."
maybe an end-of-the year insider buying?
or the mattress sales are doing well for Christmas?
"You should just go back to sleep, I'm sure it's nothing and if it is you'll sure be lucky."
Yeah, you're correct, nappy time again...
Zzzzz
Yep, I was correct in spotting the short sale, 104,702 shares sold short today before the close. The bid was the sure give-away sign.
Now, the short seller was thinking there would be some coverage at .11 or for sure at .13-.14. The thinking is that next week there will be some form of 'dilution', 'tax loss', 'scared investor', 'investor taking profit' (such as myself who loaded in the .04's) but
but
but
now knowing the short position plus pending news and the recently released positive news makes playing war on the shorty all that more enjoyable.
i wonder, will i buy more STWS next week and squeeze shorty? shorty will never know what hit them;)
Ha! Most excellent. Did you see the short sale that happened here today? So obvious as the bid dropped to catch any panic retailers in the last few minutes.
Next week it will be my turn at the table...
It will be interesting to see the percentage of shares sold short today. Yesterday it was over 30% and I imagine there is some short selling today.
I wonder if those who sold short the past few weeks have covered or if they are doubling down.
I personally wouldn't mind a new 52 week low as I'm very greedy and love to buy stocks low as news like today make it so much more enjoyable and I love it even more when I can buy just before shorts start to cover.
Also, suspect there is more news in the works as when I listened to the last CC there sure were a lot of projects being done, projects that have not been 'updated' for awhile...
three months since the last post and, and, and...price of stock reflects interest in this company, ie, none, nada, zip.
oh sure, a few lines of news. a SEC filing showing just about no revenue. I thought there would be better acceptance of the foam mattress but to date the news released by the company definitely does not show that.
not to say the price and interest might improve but doubtful if the past few years are reflective of the future.
so far this is a company I invested in and am losing big time, but at least I'm not alone - insiders once bought a lot (been awhile and can't blame them for stopping buying a sinking ship)and are losing their investment big time.
the CEO used a big word regarding interest by others about the latex but my big word for this company and possible return on investment - boring, boring, bored.
if i'm still not bored stiff and sleeping maybe i'll post here in another three months. or maybe the price will rise to a whopping .07.
A lesson for those interested in STWS. Notice today that there is zero volume. You will notice the ask price is better and higher than yesterday with the ask a bit higher than the low of yesterday. Now, here is what happens. There are those who watch level II and can see the various offers of sale and buys, for those of you without level II, you don't need it as this is what will happen (or usually does on thin traded companies like this)
Someone may slap the ask which will mean one of two things 1. the ask price will rise, in which case it may be filled by one now taking a short position. 2. the ask will rise with no takers and then settle.
In both cases the bid usually will rise briefly in the case of situation 1 but even it will drop due to lack of volume.
For those of you who think making a few cents profit while the price of stock goes up, there are those who thinking making a few cents profit while the price of stock goes down after selling short.
There are misconceptions and blurry facts out there regarding selling short. Some say, "You can't short OTC stocks..." Well, tell that to those that do and make a good living selling stocks short and going long and dealing with options.
STWS: It will move hard on good news, of this there is no doubt. Will it go BK if bad news? It could, depending on the news but unlike so many penny stocks it has more irons in the fire than a company selling, or hoping to sell, one product.
Pipeline maint and water, those are two huge arena's for this company to be in.
Happy investing.
I thought STWS was a deal back when it was 1.00 but waited and watched until the .40's where I took a position. Been adding and keeping quiet since then.
It is fun to watch how this trades. It took six different buys today to add a couple $k worth. That's nothing and shows how thin this thing is.
This month is usually a brutal month for stocks such as STWS but I've learned to buy those beaten up stocks I own and 'like'. In January it's fun to watch if I was successful. Sometimes no and sometimes, yippee!
When or if the pps drops even more then I will add, (unless some kind of horrible news comes out to change the fundamentals I'm currently happy with)
Water and oil, there is always a future in both.
This is great, thanks STWS. Call it dilution, call it fear, call it 'tax loss selling' call it whatever you desire but I just wanted to publicly thank whoever is selling me their shares.
Now, if only I could get some more shares even lower than today but I'm not complaining about my various entry points, even paid .06 for some shares today;)
January gonna be interesting indeed and most investors know Dec is pig trough month for those with cash to invest in OTC land.
Shorting stocks is healthy and people make money doing so. That being said, I wonder...
Last Friday an SEC filing comes out that the company had to 'spread' the five mil out for the terms stated, even though they were able to use the money right away. Over the weekend some short investors were drooling at the easy money to be made on Monday where over 40% of volume was traded short, but lo and behold, this time there was no profit on Monday, Tuesday and now today for shorters.
Lots of potential news regarding filing, genetics and 'other' surprises ready to be sprung, almost seems as if management has learned the past year or so about how trading of ELTP actually occurs.
Last Friday, a SEC filing released. EVERY experienced investor knows companies always release, BAD news which makes fro brutal Mondays.
I love this company, its products, and especially its very intelligent management.
I also must say I admire the bravery of those who are shorting today, tomorrow and going forward. Yes, some of them will make money but I'd rather stay long and strong, less consumption of Malox or Pepto needed.
I don't post much because there are those much better informed about the pro's and con's of ELTP so I feel it inappropriate to add a bunch of meaningless babble on my part.
I've owned ELTP for a few years now and have enjoyed the heck out of it and while I don't own a million shares I own enough to say, 'yippee', but this post is starting to stray into the meaningless babble on my part.
What I wanted to really say is the CEO has been very open at the various CC's that past few years and this last one there was a noticeable change. Some say secretive, I personally think his tone was based on strategy.
For those of us selling short, going long, flipping and hopefully trying to make money investing in ELTP it has been easy to see progress and setbacks. Progress being generics advancing, construction, equipment purchased, etc and setbacks being the timeline of submission being set back a year, dilution, etc...
All the talk recently either is based on, "We is gonna all be rich," or "Based on chicken bones rolled on the charts the price is goin back to .12" Somewhat fun and interesting especially regarding what I believe is in the works as we dream: buyout.
What has not been mentioned at all is what I really like aside from making money in this company, that being, the unknown.
ELTP is a Pharmaceutical company as such it manufactures drugs. Its own and for others. So, what is not being mentioned is the great, g-r-e-a-t, possibility of a news release saying, "We've just signed a contract to manufacture X-Y-Z for such and such. Terms of the deal are as follows..."
This little company is in a great position as there is so much unknown out there that it would not surprise me if this company either acquires more drugs, more contracts, or other business opportunities such as buying out another company.
While I desire a buyout bidding war that is just meaningless babble on my part. What I feel in my bones is that in the next few months some very unexpected 'good' news is going to come out... Only time will tell if my bones are accurate or just suffering from some form of old man disease. Of course the expected good news from the FDA won't hurt either.
unlimited upside right now.The Q was very reassuring.
with millions of shares of vyst out there very little of it trades. it is almost as if those holding have placed their certificates in a mason jar and buried them out in the yard.
this company is beyond boring and one where you have to wait until 'the next earnings'. very easy to lose faith.
it was nice to see allegra buy some more as an insider, i was beginning to wonder why the insider buying stopped.
the only thing that will move the price of this stock is some positive earnings from sales of their latex and this looks to be about three months off, and if no earnings show than the mattress deal is a bust.
in the meantime i better check my buried vyst shares, there has been a lot of gopher activity in my yard lately.
