You should definately sell tomorrow.
I will buy what you got for .001. The whole lot... maybe even .002?
What do you say?
:)
Very nice find louisa! I think that is deffinately relevant to our industry here. See this stuff works for almost everything. Maybe it even replaces viagra, and wont make you blind!
quick note; I just saw Bill Clinton on Larry King! They spent almost 2 minutes on stem cells, of which Clinton is a proponent. Just one more nice plug. Now we just gotta start jumping up and get the attention of the folks with deeper pockets than us.
Anyone here have a theory on what our PPS will need to be in order to attract those more powerful investors?
By the way. Anybody know if you can rub stem cells on a bald head and regrow hair?
We could make a mint :)
Xrepub,
I think you will find that ACTC does in fact use Embryonic stem cells. I believe they actually have the only patented stem cells that does not damage the embryo. A very similar process to that performed by fertility clinics to extract one cell from an embryo in early stages to determine the efficacy of the embryo before implatation into the mother.
That being said, i think that a reversal of the FUNDING ban for NEW cell lines, will be pivotal for ACTC.
Additionally, like I have posted before I really believe in the principle that a rising tide raises all ships. Therefore I think that positive national level attention and acceptance of Stem cell research and development will have an impact on the whole sector.
I take all of that as fact, however, this part is my opinion;
I think the political playing field has been too toxic with debate since stem cells have actually started being taken seriously. That seems to have scared away a lot of institutional investors. I believe we are also looking at a lot of new BIG money being unleashed in this sector after the popularity contest is won in our favor with an endorsement from the exec branch.
See my previous posts for my disclaimer ;)
Its really hard to say.
You may be right, but we have no way of knowing until ACTC gets off the pinks and starts current reporting of things like O/S, and market cap.
Please understand that I am not saying this is a bad thing. I think this company (as most companies do right now) need some help in terms of cash from the market.
I do believe in the management here. I dont think that they are taking advantage at all. I think "if" they are issuing more shares, which might explain why we havent had the climb we all have been expecting. I think they would only do so if it was in the best interests of the long term of the company.
I gotta point out that we have had 11+ million shares traded in ACTC. A lot of that is buying interest.
No BS I think we are churning up some inertia for a run. At the same time to float is steadily shirking and the company is offloading some debt. If even half of that 11 Mil is buys at a modest .18 which i think is a conservative overall statement. Then there was almost a Million dollars that got put in ACTC today. Of which the company I am sure has seen a nice chunk of that.
You should try selling stocks short. I have been spending my morning doing that for the first time. I am getting kinda frazzled. I think I wont do this too often.
At least ACTC is doin good for me.
I agree with that for sure. We are going to vegas no matter how you look at it, but we cant even see the roulette wheel.
However on the glass half full side. Eventually they WILL have to move up on trading platforms to the OTCBB. Wouldn't you rather have them as close to debt free as possible. I know it makes a guy impatient. Meet too! Instant gratification in PPS may not be the smartest move on thier part.
If you need to make a little, sell on highs, and buy on lows. Build your position and when you get bored sit and wait for the news that is OBVIOUSLY coming.
Good luck bro.
Please dont think i am trying to get u banned. And I am in STEM by a couple k. I just Love ACTC a lot more!
I just want to be fair to everyone here. If possible combine comments with some technical support, unless you are talking about a known market principle.
I very much welcome anyone with a strong straight opinion.
Share away. Just dont expect not to be challenged on your views.
;)
Its all in good fun!
Now my dislaimer;
I have no idea what I am doing or I would work on wallstreet. All of my posts are purely for entertainment only. If you buy a stock based on my recommendation... please check out the array of bridges I have for sale at bargain basement prices!
I think toxic assets are very plausable, and i consider them to be par for the course with these stem cell companies. What company in this arena hasn't had to issue preferred shares or engage in some other type of toxic financing to stay afloat?
I hope they are paying off their debts. Now would be a good time to clear the balance sheets. Going to the OTCBB with a good debt/earnings ratio would be a GOOD move on ACTCs part.
IMHO
Dude I am all about free speach and such but go to another board and spout that garbage.
I think you should be careful before you get accused of bashing by the folks on here.
If you have a technical reason for your claim I will stand corrected. But if you are going on a snapshot of a % increase one security to another. Please keep it to yourself, especially if you are advertising for someone else.
Ebay gonna ask for a bailout?
General electric in stem cells too?
Just on CNBC. I will try to find a link!
I second that. Good job sir! .23 will return SOON keep the faith!
Thats my vote. AS some know I feel uncomfortable making predictions, but i forsee solid gains for this week over all.
How can we not? Too much good news.
CNBC isn't the only folks reporting on stems. Its all over the place. I just wish somebody would drop the ACTC tiker hint somewhere in there.
CNBC is my favorite station today!
We need to write them or call them and drop the ACTC ticker hint!
being an assit mod is a flattering offer but I have two problems,
Even though I am in many stems, I am not currently in this one.
Secondly I am in the "cheap seats" as I have heard it refered to by other Ihubers, with a free account. Not sure if i could.
Other than that I would accept. I know they are looking for mods on the ACTC board we both frequent. Maybe there.
Still not sure if I need another Stem company. Pretty happy with what I have now. but I look at the other boards and scope out their DD as it applies to me.
If you still want me to do it, and I actually can with my account status i wont say no.
Lets see here is a prelim list;
Stems as it relates to Parkinsons (email these guys to ask them for more focus on stem therapies)
research@michaeljfox.org.
Media wise we can start here to ask for a story on ACTC;
info@ap.org
Follow up Barbra Walters interview:
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123566&page=1
Sign feinsteins petition (i know its for the old prez but still an interesting ally);
http://feinstein.senate.gov/stemcell.html
U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison supports Stem cells but not abortion. (good middle of the road approach)
http://hutchison.senate.gov/contact.html
Nancy Reagan, always a strong Proponent of Stem cells;
info@reaganfoundation.org
National institute of health (maybe we can pressure Tom Daschle)
NIHinfo@od.nih.gov
We should all write the man himself as well;
http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
You get the idea I think.
By the way, i have seen at least 6 articles today on Axlerods comments. Should be a green day tomorrow.
A rising tide raises all ships. Some more than others.
I am in many stems, but in MCET as a hedge in case of embyonic stem tragedy.
I just got in at 13 and some change. I also just found this board.
What did I miss?
You in SCLL too huh? Nice! Dont mind me I am just chasing you around on the boards.
Wow if that happened Kaboom!
Remember the town hall meeting he had the other day! It looks like this new prez is running an underground make a wish foundation!
Mr. Prez... please keep in mind I am one of the many Porscheless Americans here in the US. I have a dream...
Happy Prez day to ALL!
Wow thats an excellent point. I completely breezed past that!
thanks for pointing that out!
I guess that means that the market Cap that I have been following is not valid for the moment.
We need to get off the pinks. that is holding us back. Call IR. Im gonna pester them about this.
LOL! Too bad they dont have a battered mens shelter!
Well I personally think you are gonna be safe. I'm bettin you get a very pleased wife when this pans out!
There is some real wisdom in what you said about axlerod. I want to make sure i highlight it as i see it.
WE... as a group of investors should ban together and petition some of these folks.
i.e. media, govt reps, IR etc. to start really getting the word out on our little stem. I am not advocating any type of "pump" just try to get a lot more eyes on ACTC.
I have been inspired to devote my days DD to getting some numbers and addresses to post up here that we can join in together in contacting.
Who's with me?
yup! We are on the verge of something very nice. I am thinking this week is pretty safe bet. Certainly by the end of this month we will have that EO.
Sorry MUTT, but I think you better get the rest of your stockpile bought up at this price.
I'm betting if we retrace at all it will be after the EO and some profit taking. We have a good base here so this is probably the new bargain basement price! If we do retrace it will probably be back to just a smidge above where we are here. It has just churned too much at this price level for me to feel otherwise. I have looked closely at what you are talking about though. I see the pattern you are refering to, but so much of the technical side of this play has changed I would hesitate to consider that pattern valid anymore!
your thoughts?
Possibly. I think actually that GERN hurt their case with the issuing of those new shares.
I read somewhere that the deal for the new issue was supposed to be complete on the 19th of feb. Hope that means I retrace my PPS back to where I bought in. Im red big time!
Gern is down in euro market today
http://www.boerse-frankfurt.de/EN/index.aspx?pageID=35&ISIN=US3741631036
my other stem play is up though
http://www.boerse-frankfurt.de/EN/index.aspx?pageID=35&ISIN=US00752K1051
it would appear to be a mixed day, but that is also an indicator IMHO that GERN killed their PPS for a while until we get another good PR, or an EO lifting the ban.
I think we will find a nice play at the end of this though. Just gotta ride it out.
Hey they gotta raise money somehow right?
SO you are predicting that we as ACTC possess 1/3 of the market share as it reflects in our market cap in relation to GERN.
So basically you are saying that assuming we posess the same amount of O/S that our PPS would be effectively 1/3rd of GERN.
Except we actually have about 25% more O/S than GERN right now.
Even with no change in GERNs price that makes me pretty well off.
I hope u are right!
I just had a question for some of the more experienced folks on the board.
Is it possible for anyone to start a shell company? What is required in order to do so?
It would seem like a number of companies out there are making a pretty penny cranking out clean shells to insert private companies into.
Any thoughts?
Hows your weekend going all!
I am pretty sure that any action we see in stems is related to the Axlerod comments over the long weekend.
I have watched the euro market today very closely. It appears to have had a pretty negative reaction to the stimulus actually. I base this on the fact that most of the blue chips seem to be down. Even geron is down today as well.
I have two questions for some of the most experienced guys out there.
First, is it common for the US market to mirror what happens in europe when it comes to stems?
Second, is it possible that the general market sentiment is actually better for ACTC then for Geron? It would sure seem so lately!
I gotta say that you have definately got a good penny stock when it appears to be a safer bet then the big blue chip guys!
ACTC is up 8% in the European exchange. Looks like a good sign for us. If we can get the market here to follow suit maybe we will have a green day on tuesday!
dont forget SCLL is looking for some good quality shells to get into once they start to diversify into specific stem cell treatment areas. That maybe an opportunity for some holding companies to market them some viable public shells to insert a subsidiary into. That may be a way to get in the back door. Keep us posted on what you might hear please!
Just released today in AP news. Obama to lift the ban as one of his next acts! Get ready for a jump. Better get in now!
Bingo bro! Thats what we needed!
Now the pressure is on! Bring out the Obamanation!
Any idea what the deal with this company is? I cant seem to find much about it.
It seems like it moves on air! I bet a little smalltime interest would drive this through the roof.
Just having a story on fox news implying an impending lift of the ban should hold us or raise us. Don't you guys agree?
Great post. I guess I get to say I told everyone so!
ACTC is the ONLY family friendly, Politically friendly embryonic stem cell extraction methodology out there! How exciting! I think the conservative folks out there would have to sit up and take notice if they were presented with the facts surrounding ACTCs means of obtaining stem cells. After all Im sure the right to life folks support fertility clinics at least in principle if not in practice!
Fundementally we have proven there to be no difference in the methods of extracting stem cells by a fertility clinic to determine the efficacy of a fetus for implatation in a surrogate mother, to the methods used by ACTC to grow a line of cells from the same embryo.
As much as they would like to hold this back, their argument gets thinner and thinner.
Lets not overlook the fears of the competition outside of the stemcell companies. After all alot of companies making good money treating AIDS, Cancer, doing transpants, even sell computerized wheelchairs to quadraplegics are sure to become bashers as this thing starts to take off. If I were them I would buy some ACTC too, as their retirement is sure to become questionable in the next 5 years or so.
no prob. Actually I really enjoyed the ceocast post you just put up on some other investments. I saw a few in there with some potential. Short term of course. ACTC is my money pot at the end of the rainbow!
Sounds plausable. I think I will refrain from any predictions as to what the stock will do, but if you all will indulge one if/then prediction. I do feel pretty strongly that if we break .30 there will be a strong reversal towards .50 cents. I am just baising that on gut instinct but I think a jump to .30 cents would catch a lot of attention with fresh money.
For me I will continue to play the volitility to strengthen my position as I expect to see a good return at the end of fy09.
No prob on the support. I like straight shooters.
I gotta agree with GNOTE here. It would seem to be payback. If that is the case maybe good ol' NASDAQ will lift their portion of the trade halt. Its listed as an H11. Ive been trying to figure out the NASDAQ code system but to no avail.
On the topic of buyout I find it to be much more likely that big pharma NOVARIS will likely wait until CTIC is in CH11 before making a play for their share of any drug, if they are even still interested.
Now my disclaimer:
My posts are for entertainment value ONLY, if i knew anything about investing I wouldn't be in this stock to begin with!
Well I did a lot of research to answer this question. Im sorry but I only came up with two somewhat related ETFs.
Biotech HOLDRs (BBH)
PowerShares Dynamic Biotech S&P Genome (PBE)
SPDR S&P Biotech (XBI)
The DD courtesy of scottrade is that PBE holds GERN and STEM. So that is about as close to a pure stemcell play ETF as you are gonna get for the moment.
It looks good to me as far as the lipper leaders index goes, but I would feel confident in saying you are not going to see the big gains in any Bio ETF that you would by putting your money in companies like GERN or ACTC, just because they are so diversified into other healthcare companies that will most definately NOT see the kind of favorable legislation that we in Stems will see. Hence the growth in PPS will NOT be there! Actually I expect the overall health care sector to plummet as healthcare goes further into a socialized medicine type system. I think Stems will be the exception to that though.
I guess I got this question because I told you guys im in 6 different stem companies. Essentially I have created my own ETF of sorts. You guys could do the same thing!
