I wouldn't be surprised if we have already gotten bids. We will be singing Bertner's praises someday
I have been burned 10 x more by the "what if" buying than the "wait for the bottom" buying. Usually Murphy's law drops pps to the bottom price AFTER I make my what if purchase
Deerfield has a rep for screwing common shareholders. Everyone picked a lemon
Posi - the debt IMRS carries is too great. Common stock holders won't see a dime of that $9.5 mil. I'm sorry to say we got hosed. Cut your losses and sell now. All that's left here is for these vultures that will pick it apart at sub nickel prices. Get out now.
Thanks HIIGUY. You're the reason this board exists
"Hey Duke, what are you doing today?"
"Oh nothin, just losing 15 grand"
What a brutal day
7¢ floor?
IMRIS's business model was to buy existing scanners from existing vendors (Siemens, etc.) repackage them as VISUS iCT/iMRI and build the room. They designed and laid the ceiling tracks and offered the turn key solution. It was archaic and ineffective. Brainlab offers 10x the solution and is exploding - left IMRIS in the dust. My bet was on the pop that the SYMBIS would give the company. I was by no means a long investor on IMRIS or confident in their model, but did let people know about that bounce upward a few months back. Unfortunately, I wanted to hold until FDA approval on their robot and the company couldn't sustain itself that long.
This is a serious kick in the nuts - can someone walk me through this Deerfield post chap 11 potential sale? I've been trying to read up on this but can't get anywhere.
I'm all talk; I'm still hangin. The potential reward is greater than the financial risk I have in it.
HIIT used to balance out my sh*tty investments. Now it is one of them.
Yeah - this is infuriating
IMO we have to uplist to get any substantial growth from here. I've been following the board for a while, and seen some theories about reverse splits. Are these founded theories or are we just talking?
I'm seriously contemplating pulling out. I don't want to, but I've never thought this hard about it. These guys don't seem to have a grasp on what the hell to do. The robot is their Hail Mary. I don't like betting all my cheese on a Hail Mary
AND the postponement of the Q1 report AND annual meeting?
I crapped my pants a little. You see no correlation to continual pps decline and these guys "leaving" the company at the brink of the largest robotic development since the Da Vinci??
Yeah. Been holding a fairly large position for almost a year averaging at $.55. Don't recall ever posting to this board before. I'm hurtin' these days
This is miserable
IMRS has the shadiest price action. So brutal
Wtf is going on??
I may be late to the ball on this one, but has anyone else pointed out that TITAN has updated their FAQs? No longer has outdated financing info.
Great open. Let the games begin!
Amen
This article is now my children's bedtime story for the next year
HUGE. This article is a vindication for all the longs.
Right. Why are we assuming anyone is leaving?
Bingo! We need to keep a nugget timeline. Then we wouldn't be where we are now
You're right, it is relevant to examine the position change. I did not mean to imply it isn't relevant. It's saying "the question is did the they fill or don't need it?" that to me isn't relevant for everyone to start lobbing darts at the board. Do we have a history of job postings that we've followed? Do we have have any previous situation to compare it to? Do we know when it was removed and does it correlate to anything? Can I call Titan and say that I want to interview for the job or email a resume and see if they say "sorry it's been filled" or "sorry we no longer have a need for the position"? What created the need for the role in the first place? I don't know, I'm caught up in the frustration too and I tend to handle it more by stopping and breaking it down rather than throwing out the theories. Not that yours was - job postings are very important. I think a lot of us are asking the wrong questions is all. That probably includes myself at times.
I guess my only point is that wish we would use a more scientific method of creating a time line to examine past relevant events, periods of silence, financial states, etc. to make those calls and test them vs the Chinese fire drill we have going on now. We have a lot of guys who do believe they have enough $$, we have a lot that do not. I frankly don't know and that's why I rely on yall here on the board so much.
Include rises in pps based on other robotic stocks, include other pr's of relevant robot stocks that carry us up. We can make sense of this if we sort it out. We can regulate our sanity. I don't hate the theories. I just know they don't help and I want to steer us in a helpful direction
I will reiterate I believe this board is in DIRE need of true analysis now more than ever - not speculation based on NOTHING. The panic on this board is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
I think that it's great news to point out that the accounting position is no longer listed. But it doesn't take a cat sh*t scientist to conclude that they either filled the position or they don't need it. That's truly irrelevant conversation. It's a puzzle piece you have in an infinitely large picture that you have no idea of the subject matter.
What I recommend to the moderators is that we create a time line of FACTS. Start 1 year ago: include insider trading, interviews, conversations with management, seeing mgt at shows, posting of job positions, point interviews, 52 week highs/lows, removing of job positions, updating of company slide show.
Something to give us a relevant timeline to truly track the facts of what we the people know.
By asking that question you obviously imply they don't need it because of the bunch of inbred hillbillies running the company right?
These are literally guesses at nothing about nothing based on nothing. And who cares who's yawning at what? The market yawned at AAPL last week. The market yawned at ISRG last week. The market yawns at every stock every week of every month of every year of every decade at any point in its history. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here.
Some people remind me of this show on History Channel called 'Ancient Aliens.' Maybe some of you have seen it. It's bunch of 'scientists' that fill voids in time with makeshift cat sh*t theories. Can't find tools near the pyramids? Aliens built them. Why? Because of the lack of any evidence at all I will fill the void with my cat sh*t. Can't find info on Titan? JH + PH are burning the company down. Why? Because of the lack of any evidence at all I will fill the void with my cat sh*t.
No news doesn't mean fill void with cat sh*t. There's so much pseudo intellectual cat sh*t here that I want to barf. WE ALL HAVE NOTHING TO GO ON. STOP CREATING CAT SH*T!

Brother I don't blame you one bit. I really don't. I'd go postal in your shoes. I was talking to ORep8 and I think we have the same battle cry.
In Texas it's "Remember the Alamo!"
In Titan it's "Remember the MAKO!"
I can't help but be confident in some form of purchase and some substantial increase in our ROI. I feel your pain though. I really do.
But there are always "current circumstances". Every day there is a different current circumstance because we don't know what they know. The market loses confidence with silence, ok. You deal in hard facts, ok. I get it, that's fine and I respect that. But just don't expect this board to drop their inside opinions and jump on your bandwagon. Your doomsday pessimism that JH is throwing this company into the furnace is just as crazy as my optimism and I don't even think I'm that optimistic. Its not news that the silence is killing PPS right now, as evidenced by the drop in PPS. But this is just a point in time. We have no idea whats going on over there.
And I don't care about 6% or 1%, my point is just that I want some % - more importantly I just want % return on my investment! The robotic surgery market is too viable. I for one would be ecstatic at $10. I know l may be alone there. That would pay for my kids' college tuition. Your pessimism is not any more rational than my optimism. Whether it's a buyout for IP or a product in 2 years - it really doesn't matter all that much to me and there is little reason IMO to think that anything in between isn't just as likely.
Also, I used to work for a company that had roughly 2-3% market share in that sector with 5-6 competitors, the largest of which held about 50% market share. We were all competitors of each other, often we were all in the hospital at the same time trialing/demoing for business. We continually grew year over year and after 5 years we had knocked out 2 competitors all together and stole about 6% from the leader. That's all I can ask for in Titan.
I couldn't agree more. Never in my wildest dreams would I imagine a world where we have competitive market shares with ISRG. By competing I simply meant we have a viable product that can directly compete for sales, fill their gaps, and steal ISRG's would be business in certain markets.
The F150 is the most popular truck on the road today, but that doesn't mean the Toyota Tunda isn't a direct competitor for a buyer's business...with a continual rise in market share year over year. Would never expect it to have competitive market share with the F150.
P.S. I for one like your analysis on this company. It doesn't change where I stand personally, but several of you offer viewpoints I just wouldn't have fathomed on my own...for what that's worth. The trader mentally and continual analysis really does fascinate me. I'm just to dumb to understand a lot of it
Well I reckon I make a good living on reading people and I was disappointed in Hargrove, won't lie. If I thought like a trader, I would have gotten out after that show. It shook me up a little bit meeting him and hearing him talk of "still getting feedback" when we were supposed to be around the corner. But he also talked of long term and fed me the lines I wanted to hear. He sold me...so what does that say about me?!
I think they've known for a long time. At least a year. You don't make last minute decisions like that. I think there were months and months of closed door talks with important people where scenarios were played out all pointing to this being the best long term play. Hargrove knew. Knew for a long while. His decision was made.
