blah, blah blah ..
the blind squirrel keeps hoping to run into a nut..
Chet .. I sure hope it doesn't take 12 years for me to get out of COR and make a tiny profit ;)
I envy you for being able to unshakle yourself from this situation..
Good luck in new investments!
Cheers..
On a day like today, where an African American that came from simple roots, is taking the oath of office for the President of the United States, if you can't see just how amazing this country is, you need to get the hell out Jerry!
U.S.A!
Instead of bitching and moaning and coming up with conspiracy theories, you should spend your time trying to make a difference. Run for local office, give your time to local charities, be thankful that even though it's not perfect, the United States provides tremendous freedom and opportunity..
People have died, struggled and suffered to give us this country we were so lucky to be born in.. Travel abroad Jerry, and you will see just how incredibly lucky we are, and how idiotic and delusional your thinking is..
he has said numerous times that he "knows" something is coming and infers it was through recent and ongong conversations with COR mgt..
I think that this is completely misleading and should not be allowed on this board due to the unethical nature of making things like this up ..
"voicing opinions based on each of our specific insights, backgrounds, and competencies. "
all ture.. but, when Jerry lies that he has contacts within COR, it goes from fun speculation, and boarders on fraud ..
I'm surprised it took so long for someone to call him out on all his BS.. He knows nothing.. he is one of those guys that thinks if they analyze the situation long enough, they can figure out some sign that COR will "go to the moon" .. Unfortunately, lying about some backdoor conversations with COR mgt, and tarrot card reading, is not going to push the pps up ..
you might have not been around the last time Jerry got called out on making stuff up.. he threatened to kick my ass ..
That is something that shouldn't be tolerated..
What this board needs to do is stop letting folks lie about stuff on this board.. and we should band together to kick Jerry off the board.. He is making fraudulent comments and I think the SEC should investigate his postings here..
"I agree that no one--including myself--knows what's going to happen. It may not pertain specifically to you, but my comment about the 'out of sight' phenomenon refers to those who believe that, based on the lack of activity within their sight, that nothing is going on, that no efforts are being made. That's incorrect."
I agree completely on this.. No one knows one way or the other.. I just hope something happens sooner than later ...
As always, I appreciate your comments and contributions .. sorry if my comment came off crass.. those comments are saved for Jerry the fortune teller!
Regards..
asuhowe
Jerry.. The facts re the facts though.. you have been stating you have some "insight" for months and NOTHING that you have stated has panned out.. you are a dreamer .. nothing more than that... you have no more or no less information than the rest of us.. if you did, you'd be correct once in a while.. instead, you have be DEAD wrong every time you have tried to predict something..
I still have hope that COR will make it through and I will see $2 again .. I think we all do .. But making stuff up again and again on this board is wrong and unethical .. you need to stop acting like you are some insider .. you are just another regular guy like the rest of us ..
the sad thing is, or at least the patheitic thing, is that if COR does come through a few years from now, you'll be the first one to say, "look at me, hahahah, I was right." even after you predicted falsly for months on end ..
And just to beat you to the punch, no, I don;t want to meet you in a school yard BB court to settle our differences ..
I am more evolved than that .. I know violence and chest puffing is the only way you have to prove you're right, .. you're the classic school yard bully ..
Keep making you predictions and that's all the vindication I need..
Oh wait, I see a block of 20K shares on the bid, ohhh and a bullish tail pattern, and I just got an email from my friend Varney .. load up boys!!
Cheers!
Neuro..
Now you're the one missing the point..
All I'm saying is NOONE knows what is gonna happen.. all the speculation, market predictions for the potential of the IP, chart analysis, conspiracy theories, etc.. doesn't mean squat..
The only thing we do know is they are running on fumes, and the stock price is only .60 .. beyond that, we know nothing..
I'm not sure how I misquoted you by restating you thought RD was going to be a huge thing for COR (with lots of market potential .. I remember all the crash cart statements and calculations) ..
Also, a mischaractorization? Hardly .. I think I hit it spot on .. your faith in COR is solely on the potential of the IP as well as the observations on pateints suffering from the ills that COR hopes to solve...
Not sure why you take offense to these observations .
CHeers..
Jerry, you're not in any way, shape or form telling it like it is..
You're telling it like you hope it is..
Neuro also said RD was a grand slam ..
The bottom line is this... the reality of it all ..
COR is running low on cash. Other small biotechs are cutting deals left and right.. COR supposedly has the best untapped IP available .. and nothing is happening except speculation that something is happening.. the stock price is .60 .. and time keeps ticking..
Beyond that .. all the other stuff is not true, regardless of how much Jerry crosses his fingers and looks at his voodoo charts, Neuro looks at the science and the possibilities. others call of conspiracy theories, and others just want their f'ing money back..
Folks, there is nothing left to talk about until something is announced or COR runs out of funds.. Just kick back and enjoy the show.. Anything you have in COR right now is just equivilant to a ticket at the race track .. it's sunk cost at this point .. and unfortunately, our poor little horse is limping badly, with a trainer and staff that haven't done anything but collect paychecks and never won a race..
Cheers!
I am surprised that with all the billions in cash the BPs have, they don't have some sort of promising candidate by now.. ; (
I think you've finally exposed yourself Jerry.. it's just emotional gut feeling that drives you in regard to COR..
A likely indicator that a deal is done is an announcement stating a deal is done..
not once has COR had any technical indicators that something is up, nor will it..
Jerry, you seem to have a lot of time on your hands and a lot of passion for TA.. you should probably stop wasting it on COR..
man, I hope this is the case for COR.. snap us up for $2 now BPs!
Thanks for the info..
I'm curious, does COR have data for SA like they did for RD that shows it will probably work on humans (all that rat data..)?
Here's a question that shows my complete ignorance to the medical market.. why doesn't COR start tapping the European market for its drugs? There seems to be a much more liberal market for new drugs.. Is this a market potential? or do US companies just not compete in this market?
Cheers
In regard to sleep apnea, what are we looking at from a time table standpoint?
When do we expect to have POC trials?
Why is this bigger than RD?
Thanks..
I could go for something like that..
Although in a much more compressed timeline than COR, it looks like IDEV got hammered, then made a slow ride up to about 1/2 its pre-bust level, than BAMM, a nice 72% take out premium..
Neuro.. One thing I had asked you several months ago was the average preimiums that COR-like companies traditionally got..
You had mentioned a fairly low number..
Do you think this has gone up a bit recently?
I'd assume your past analysis looked at small bios that had a nice run-up, then a decent takeout premium..
Today (as in COR) you have hammered down small bios that are trading at insane rock bottom prices..
DO you think that COR has a chance of maybe getting bought out at 100%+? Even if it rises to $1ish??
My hope for 2009 is that COR makes a nice move again over $1, and then BAMM, a nice mid $2 take out..
Yes, I know this would be CRAZY for COR's mgt to take an offer so low for such an amazing company.. :)
But, now that we are in 2009, and have seen just how insignificant the world at large views COR's pipeline (come on, not a fricking pop at all from a successful RD trial!!), this seems like a reasonable outcome..
Cheers!
Neuro, thanks for taking the time to do a 2-year analysis.. I actually feel a bit better that it is more of a sector swoon than just one tainted stock..
I am assuming that like every sector, there are ebbs and flows.. I think the key for COR now is a duck and cover mode.. get a decent deal for RD so they can sustain research and development activities over the next few years, package together a nice suite of offerings, let the market stabalize, and then strike something pps effecting when the time is right..
Patience Patience Patience is the name of the game now..
Thankfully we at least have something to offer a BP.. We could be sitting here with nothing but 'promise' ...
cheers..
Andy,
For the most part, I have just written off my 401k $ I made up to this point.. I'll put my shares of COR, and my other disaster (KOOL), way into the back of the closet, and hopefully 4-5 years from now I'll have a nice present..
---I assume if COR can make it through the next year money wise, and Stemcell stocks get some serious and prolonged traction, in the long run, it'll all work out(I still have my sell order for $2 on COR, and a $2 sell order on KOOL).. luckily I'm only 38.. my focus now is to be thankful for what I have, and make sure I stay employeed during this upcoming dark period in the economy. If one can make it through these rough patches without panicking, then all will be OK in the long run.. I didn't buy a house at outrageous prices and take huge sums in home equity loans, and I don't have a dime of debt, so, hunkering down should be smooth..
Cheers!
Neuro,
You have to factor in that COR was crushed in 2007 and didn't have that much further to fall in 2008..
Do a 2 year analysis and you'll see COR is pretty ugly in comparison to other CNS stocks..
cheers
Thanks JD... good luck to you as well as we limp into 2009 ;)
The main thing I am concentrating on right now is maintaining my job.. If I can stay employed during this economic downturn, all will be well... I have plently of time to wait out COR's comeback if I have a steady income.. heck, I may even have some new $$ to buy at these levels ..
Cheers..
"I will say this, if we get either: an OK on Euro ADHD or sign an RD deal-or both...it's at least $2 per share."
Man I sure hope so..
cheers!
maybe.. but he touted a base @ .90 pretty heavily.. that's a 33% gap from where we are now.. almost as much as the market has dropped this year.. To me, a 100% trading range (.50-1.00) isn't a trading range, it's a blood bath ;)
Never once has a TA prediction or observation on COR been correct in the couple of years I've been following this board.. It never will, for it trades to thin, and it trades on hype..
I think Jerry is 100x more insightful on non-TA topics.. I have really enjoyed his commentary lately, and I think he has been dead on in many cases..
CHeers!
where is this magical base you keep speaking of for COR?
The base was @ .90, .. Oppps!... then .80 .. Oppps!
Then .70, ooopss!.. Then, .65, opps...!
I know a blind rat eventually finds a nut, but give us all a break with this stuff, OK?
You have been providing such great non-TA analysis and insight lately.. Please keep that coming!
On a positive note (which I needto focus on now since I am in jeopardy of getting laid off, as are most of my friends and family)... Thanks W, Thanks SEC..
Last time COR was sitting at these type of levels, COR didn't have a compound to partner.. Complete doom was on the horizon..
Regardless of the crappy pps, we have something to partner and we'll probably survive a few more years, even on a not-so-sweet partnership deal..
Although even the most conservative of predictions of a positve RD outcome had COR @ $1.5-2.00... One of the options we didn't think of was that a successful trial may just be a life line .. a decent partnership allows COR to live for another couple of years.. unfortunately, it doesn't get us to the moon.. ; (
Lets hope that they get some more compounds proofed out, and some additional partnerships during this extended stay of execution..
I really wish I was wrong on my conservative predictions.. My hope was to bail out @ $2 toward the end of the year, and then watch COR soar higher and even the "go to te moon" folks would be happy..
The most realistic outcome right now is that COR gets a decent partnership, with enough upfronts to last a few years more..
I'm gonna stay long and see how this thing turns out.. My money could be losing the same amount in the general market, so it's not all that bleek..
For us longs that are going to stay long, the hopefull outcome will be a decent partnership that takes the financial situation to the back burner for a few years, COR gets some new indications to a partnerable state, the general market settles down, and we make a slow move up to $2.00 or so over the next 2 years..
Good luck to all..
The next milestone is the partnership details..
Let's hope it's close to decent / pretty good ..
Cheers
haysaw.. that is exactly why I am keeping the sell order there..
If we start creeping up to 1.50ish, I may get greedy and never pull the trigger if we start towards $2..
I don't care if COR opens at $2.50 one day soon and my $2.00 bid get filled and I miss out on some $$..
I just want out of this f'ing stock, and $2 would feel great to me.. Also, news that pops it up past my bid is great, for I need the volume to unload my shares..
Come on CEPH, make my day!
That's why my thinking on a partnership is the way it.. perfect example!
A partnership may not do squat for the pps... and, it may not do much for the volume,, therefore, even if it pops up to $2 on a partnership deal,unloading at that price in a thinly traded stock may be impossible..
I'm not just some idiot thinking a buy-out is best.. there are fundemental issues to it as well..
Buy-out = gauranteed $$! No worry of being able to unload your shares...
Blade,
I understand that piece, I just don't think that a partnership announcement will move the stock at all.. It's just a gut feeling that it'll go unnoticed and the pps won't rise..
All...
I just want to make this really clear..
I am selfish when it comes to my money... I am greedy so to speak ..
In my personal life, I give tons of money to charity and to my family..
However, when it comes to investing, I want the best situation possbile from my point of view..
I have 350K shares of COR @ an average price of 1.52.
The DOW is at historic lows with bargains everwhere..
**And to recap for those of you that have been smart enough to ignore my posts from last year, I mean long term bargains.. non-speculative investments that made me my $$ in the first place**
If COR sells itself at a $2.00, I make back all the money I lost on COR, and 170ishK to boot, and can put my money back into safe stocks and never go through this type of rollercoaster again.. I know I made a huge mistake putting all my eggs in the COR basket.. I just want to hit the reset button, and I see it right in front on me..
I see this as a possible direction for COR, and I feel that long term, a partnership won't do much for them..
A sale is the best outcome for ME.. I think we all look at investing from a selfish manner, I just am a bit more transparent..
And also, as a reminder, this is just a message board.. I hope we all read it with a grain of salt...
Cheers!
Thanks MF4..
I hope folks are understanding my point here though. I think COR can sell right here at a nice premium.. I am not certain that a partnership deal (in this economic climate) will do anything much to the pps..
An outright sale gives us a certain rise in pps..
I may be wrong.. I probably am.. I just would like to have that option on the table...
corwatcher.. I may just do that.. the thing the bothers me is that Cortex could sell the company now while the iron is hot and make us all some $$ ... if this was a new start-up without a track record of fumbles, I'd say "let's take some time and see what happens.." ..
I'm greedy man.. I see a way to make my money back and I hope Cortex sells the company..
Not only that, BUT, the DOW is crushed right now and there are bargains a'plenty .. ya can't blame a guy for wishing for the best short term situation..
WHy is that such a bad opinion?
Neuro, all I'm saying is that maybe the best thing for all of us is for Cortex to strike while the iron is hot and sell the company.. this is as valid an opnion as any..
lemming
Neuro, that's not even close to the situation..
A more appropriate and accurate analogy would be someone that buys a stock expecting the stewards of the company to do what is best for the owners (us stockholders of the company). The pps of said stock is pummeled under the current leadership. The company finally has something that allows them to sell the company for a salvagable price, instead of a devastating PIPE, and a slow death.. And that person is begging for mgt. to do the right thing, and sell while the iron is hot..
OOOPSS .. that's not an analogy, it's reality..
Neuro, I love analogies as much as the next guy.. however, it's about time we understand the reality of our predicament..
Noone cares about COR.. they have worn out their welcome with everyone except the folks on this board.
You know damn well that if I told you 4 months ago that COR would have success with RD-1/2 and that the stock price would be at .82, you'd call me an idiot.. heck, I think you actually did back then ;)
Anyway, just for once, give someone else's opinion some thought and legitimacy considering your opinions havn't panned out all that well..
I know it's hard for you to do, but, try to give a alternate view a grain of thought.. ther eis actually a chance that selling now might be the right thing to do in the long wrong.. I could be correct..
**disclaimer, this post was typed with no anger and a smile on my face..
CHeers!
I just wish Stoll and Varney would sell is all.. My OPINION is that this is the best long term pay-off for COR..
As much as I'd like to hope that this is a long-term play, I think it's time to strike while the iron is hot.. I believe that COR's long term prospects are a PIPE and a slow death back to .30 if they don't sell soon..
I love the fact that there are so many good theories, opinions and thoughts about what the future of COR's pps will be..
I have pondered these over and over.. However, it is my opinion that the best chance for COR's pps to be anywhere near $2 is to sell and sell quickly..
I am not postal or angry.. the internet unfortunately makes someone sound angry when they are posting negatively and that they are crazy when they are posting positively..
Let me try to make this clear.. I believe that COR's stock will not climb based on a partnership in any way that we all wish it might.. I think it will go sideways and be a non-factor from a "new money flow" standpoint.
I believe the best chance for us COR stock holders (tryto remember why we bought COR in the first place - to make money!) to get the most out of our current holding (not what we paid for the stock) is to sell now while the iron is hot..
Maybe I'll be right, and maybe I'll be wrong.. I'm just making it clear that I'm gonna be pissed if Stoll and Vareny don't take advantage of the best deal they're ever gonna have.. Sell the COMPANY NOW while the iron is hot (Stoll -you wanted multiple irons in the fire, now one's hot.. sell!!)
I have been a bit back and forth like most on this board in regard to COR (it's been such a bumpy ride over the last year), BUT, one thing I have said from day 1.. SELL the fricking company and let us get our damn money back!
Unfortunately, Stoll and Varney do not give a rat's ass about the shareholders.. PERIOD!
We have been their personal ATM machine and all they care about is keeping those nice fat paychecks coming..
The key for those of us that think this way is having some hype come off of a takeover rumor that pops this dog back to a respectable exit point (sorry over-optomistic folks, but I'm talking 1.75-2.00) ...
I just want out of this fricking prison cell that COR has me in.. I need some hype, some volume, some new suckers (like I was a year or so ago to bet the farm on COR), and I will never look back..
I think that the reaction to COR's successful RD-1/2 results ,which amounted to no more than a mosquito fart in the wind, has brought some reality to the "we're going to the moon" posters.. Heck, even the worst of predictions on the pps weren't this bad with both RD-1 and RD-2 being successfull.
I am utterly disappointed by this outcome.. I fully believed that good RD-1/2 results would push this dog to around 1.50 (conservative on most folks predictions, and a number that I got railed for even mentioning as way too pessimistic), and then some decent hype of a partnership or merger would bring COR up to $2, and then "so long Suzy..."
Here I wait again for the hype machine to give me an out
Dammit! The problem is that we need a 1-2 punch.. So what if a partnership gives us a whimper? What propels it from anything but a slow spiral after that?
I wish they'd just sell this damn thing to a cash rich BP and be done with it.. :) We're gonna get to watch the DOW come back up to 14,000 with a big chunk of change stuck in a .80 a share COR.. Yeah..
Cheers..
I fully agree with that.. the delay from RD-1 has killed a nice window of opportunity for COR..
Money is not going to come COR's ways any time soon, if at all..
PE's mean nothing.. I hope you do realize it's the most unimportant investment factor and a backwards looking one at that..
COR is NOT part of the general market anyway..
What we (meaning us unfortunate folks that bought this dog) need is 20-30 new fools to come along and think that there's a story here and jerk this thing back up to $2 so I can get the hell out ;)
I just hope the partnership thing (or potential of one) causes enough hype before the PIPE...
I was just talking how much it would take to get COR over my magic $2 mark.. ;)
