So far every price drop is not holding. Nice buys on the way back up. More shares on the upticks than on the downticks.
Yes, some nice blocks bought real quick. Either some bigger buyers or a very nervous short position. Be interesting to see what happens the rest of the day.
As I have said, it is all about manipulation to make money. After options expire, who knows? But I hope PPS gets going up, like it should. There is only so much anyone can do to manipulate the PPS. For the prospects here, the PPS is grossly undervalued. JMHO!
IMO, not without news.
Yes, there is no manipulation Virginia. Keep the price down at any cost to protect the MM's position. Hopefully will not last for long.
Interesting the wordings in the 10-q. Lawyers willing to trade for royalties? What does that mean. Maybe the RAI settlement and the gag order are an indication that something is in the works. Could it be curing patents? Or could it be an E-CIG agreement? Shortly after the settlement, RAI announced test marketing of an E-CIG. Could it have involved antabine? Why would lawyers be even considering a royalty agreement? All good questions in my opinion. Partnerships and other arrangements involving anatabine? Most certainly not out of the question. Looking at other companies that have hyped a product, and have valuations way above STSI's, ($15.00-$40.00), and don't even have a product to market yet, I feel that STAR is extremely undervalued at this point. As a user of AnataBloc, I could not be more pleased. Maybe a deal with big pharma? As a shareholder, I really can't wait for the PPS to catch up with the potential. It's been a long wait, but I feel that it is just around the corner. JMHO.
My take on today's 10-Q. I believe that STAR is being cautious in everything they say, for obvious reasons. Anything pumped up would be attacked. That being said, I found that the 10-Q was quite informative, if you read between the lines. This last quarter was a transition to GNC for more sales, With over 4,000 stores, plus online exposure, they are in a position to make AnataBloc a household name. This is evident in the increased advertising and promotions being offered. Why would they do this? Because they must feel that it will be a big money maker for them. Next, deals or partnerships are still in the works. I can't believe that someone would not wan't to get in on the action before 4 studies are released. Legal problems, as made up as they were, are disappearing fast. Nobody is dumping, and the share price is holding steady. Cash to last? I think if they can make it through 2 more quarters, they won't have to worry about it. JMHO.
MUGS, was your post this morning on revenue guesses deleted? What's up with that?
I disagree with a doctor's supervision. They are narrow minded and in the pockets of big pharma. We need to take our health into our own hands. Inflammation is certainly tied to our health, many studies prove this is the underlying cause of most conditions/diseases. Understanding the underlying cause of a condition boils down to whether or not it is a physical impairment, or caused by inflammation. Myself, I was told by doctors that my collar bone/rotator cuff injury, needed surgery. Two months after starting AnataBloc, I had no more pain and sleepless nights after twenty years of suffering. Do I need to wait for proof from the powers that be? Don't think so. I have my proof. Allergies diminished, gums much improved, and just a general feeling of better health. To those who don't notice a difference, it may be that you don't have a noticable condition caused by inflammation. That does not mean that you are not benefiting in some way to prevent future conditions. Just my experience, and thoughts on the subject. To your good health.
What the heck! I'll say 3.75 million.
All I know is that AnataBloc has alleviated a twenty year condition with my shoulder/collar bone, that was so bad, I could not even sleep at night. That condition is gone comepletly. My allergies, very serious, are now under control, although not completely eliminated. I can't see how people, MM's, need more to realize the goldmine that is in front of them. We have more studies than alot of biotech's, that are positive. Our value is far below alot of these companies that I track. An explosion is waiting to happen, if people will quit trying to destroy a good thing. Good luck to all longs, and the shorts need to come up with some valid arguements, not just slander and inuendo.
Showing more and more that chronic inflammation is the path to most conditions/diseases. If something like AnataBloc/anatabine citrate can curb that spiral, how much is it worth? To my health, a fortune. As an investment, hopefully the same.
The supplement industry regulates itself at a very high level. If they didn't, the FDA would use any excuse to step in on behalf of the drug companies, that don't wan't competition/alternatives to their drugs. As far as government regulations safeguarding us from what goes into our bodies, what a joke. Our foods are full of modified sugars, modified salts, and a list of other things that have been proven harmful to our health. GMO crops have been getting proven more and more to be bad for our health, and the most popular of these GMO crops is corn, the main feed for livestock, so our meat supply is tainted, our produce is tainted, and our processed foods are deplorable. As for the drug industry, who would'nt want to take a regulated drug that comes with a list of side effects as long as a short novel. And the FDA keeps these drugs on the market, and keeps approving new drugs with little regard to safety. I'm so glad the government is protecting our health. Now, a discussion from here should get back to Star stock, and discussions of the pros or cons of AnataBloc.
I think you just summed it up with one word.
Agree with you completely Leif. The person that said people need to understand the science before accepting a product, should try explaining to us the science and workings of say, a TV, cell phone, and all the various components involved in making the whole system work. If he can do that, I might listen, because I sure couldn't explain the science, yet I and millions of others like me use them everyday. Understand the science? I only have to understand that it works, like AnataBloc.
Nailed it on the head. Nomo has been preaching this angle for a month or two. As I have said, Couples and Isner's performance as far as winning tournament's, has nothing to do with the positive effects on health. They are at least able to go out and compete at a high level, and enjoy their sport. This arguement just detracts from the big picture, which is that anatabine can be a benefit in preventing/reversing anti-inflammatory conditions. That is the big picture. That is worth far more than winning a golf/tennis tournament. To everyone's good health that believes in AnataBloc.
It also suggests low volume manipulation.
Who suggested that AnataBloc was responsible for good performance? The only claims made have been for anti-inflammatory benifits. As I have pointed out on other boards, AnataBloc is not a steroid, or a performance enhancer. You arguements about said persons performance, good or bad, has nothing to do with AnataBloc. That is the nature of sports. But if someone feels better because of AnataBloc, and allows them to feel better, then they can at least go out and play their sport and enjoy it. Good or bad performance in the long run is not up to AnataBloc, it is the individual. Many factors are involved in competing, and or winning at a professional sports level. Skill, luck, etc. Your arguements on performance because of AnataBloc are baseless.
Since you have claimed to have no position, why don't you buy some shares and loan them out for the great 15% offer. If this is a great deal, then jump on board. Put your money where your mouth is.
In the two years I have been using AnataBloc, I am satisfied with the results. That being said, I don't know how much it costs to produce anatabine, but I agree with others that the pricing seems to be a bit much. I have been in business before, and we took limited salaries while we were trying to establish our product. Unfortunatly, STAR management does not seem to get this. This is the knock I have on them, even though I am long the stock. Get the pricing right, don't take extreme salaries, and let the product do the work. GLTAL's.
Yes indeed!! Why the gag order? Why a token settlement? Could it be someone saw some value in anatabine? Last I heard test marketing on an E-Cig was being done by RAI. Could it have contained anatabine? Time will tell. But I don't think if RAI had STAR orer a barrel, they would have given them a nickel. JMHO.
Well said JC, NOMO has nothing.
Nuke, I think a cosmetic company is just the ticket for the face cream. Huge market for women, (and some men), that are concerned about appearance. GNC is not the right place.
Refer to the Harvard study on Anatabine and the safety profile, plus the numerous studies ongoing. Rigarous safety profiles by the FDA? What a laugh. Just look at all the drugs on the market, and their side effects. Do you think the FDA cares about us? In my opinion, Anatabine is something that could prevent many conditions, and that is more important than finding cures for those conditions. Preventative medicine, what a novel thought.
Lot's of people die following the wisdom of our medical system. And wish they were dead because our government let's them put leans, garnishments, etc on our wages, and do not give us the choice to seek alternative treatments. Many of which are not "Snake Oil". They are just as proven a therapy as main stream medicine supposedly is. Give us the choice, and let us live or die by it!!
Not inspiring as a medical professional might? What is to be inspired about when all they do is write a prescription after listening to you for two minutes. They don't have a clue what is wrong with you, they just pull out the drug pad. Side effects galore, which they just write you more prescriptions for. What a joke our medical system is, as well as a drain on our financial well being. Because of cancer and other problems my wife has had, we have been in debt for 15 years. I personally would have just decided to die and live with it, leave her my life insurance, and be done with it. The medical profession and pharma companies are just greedy, self serving entities, that don't give a flip about us. If we can try and eat foods that are not full of poison, get the nutrition we need from from proper foods, vitamins, etc., and other supplements, we will be way ahead of the crowd. It's just that big business does not care about us, just there own pocketbook.
On another note, I don't know how many of you use TDAMERITRADE, but I am extremely upset by their decision to discontinue the COMMANDCENTER platform. I have found it very easy to use, and have tried THINKORSWIM and TRADEARCHITECT, and find them to full of bells and whistles, and hard to keep track of things. If anyone agrees with me, please contact TDAMERTRADE immediately and express your desire to keep the COMMANDCENTER platorm. Thanks.
After 60 years, just as me after 40 years, nothing is going to make us quit. We have to have the desire, and then and only then will anything help us stop. Nothing is going to magically make us stop. I believe AnataBloc can help do this, but it is ultimatly up to us to erase all the years of habit and addiction. As far as what AnataBloc can do I've recieved so many other benefit's to my health, I would need pages to describe. All in all, it boils down to making good decisions for our own health, and there will never be a magic pill to cure our own choices.
Does anybody have any idea why aftermarket went up .18 cents? I don't even see it on my graphs. Your thoughts please.
Less than suttle bashings? That is a gross understatement, And most of the replies show the same ignorance or downright fraudulent statements on the situation. Someone really has a huge interest in Star's failure. Not that I'm extremely confident in Star's success, as 90% of american's are totally dumb about science and investing, as they are about electing someone for office. But I am investing in what I use (AnataBloc), knowing that it works for me. My investment may or may not work out, but I would hope that AnataBloc will continue to be available to me. It has changed my life in many ways, and that is a true testimonial. By the way, how many anonymous testimonies does it take to validate a product? (10's of thousands?). I think people here know who this reply is for. Posters that tought alternatives for a cheaper price, trying to distract from the true benefits and science of AnataBloc, have their own agenda. They don't come back with any logical arguements against the science. It is on the way, and the Star will shine. JMHO.
I would not take Sierra as a reliable source of information. But let's suppose Abbot is interested in a deal. I don't think this would involve a buyout, but a marketing deal/partnership. This would be great for both companies, as Abbot has home and international presence, which would expand the market exponentially. Other countries are much more receptive to alternative treatments, instead of our Pharma controlled medical system. That still would leave STAR open to deal with Big Pharma on a drug development deal on the S-Isomer. Other possibilities for the rise in price may include a deal with a tabacco company. It is not out of the question. Many possibilities are on the table. This is speculation on my part, and in no way means to sway anyone. Just some honest speculation.
If you listen closely, I believe he said 6 times per day, at a dose of two, equaling twelve per day, which would seem correct.
NukeJohn. Could you tell me if the data from the Thyroid study can be released when the peer review process is complete, or does that have to wait for publication? Thanks for all your work.
