There are many opportunities for infections to pass in the hospital. It doesn’t have to be just by surgery. Infections from surgery can be caused by the patient’s own bacteria, the surgical staff, or the OR and hospital in general.
Without ever going near the surgery suite, there is still plenty of chance to pick up airborne viruses and bacterial infections. Physicals, blood draws, IV lines, etc all provide an opportunity to pass infections from the environment to the patient or person to person.
Whereas some events are harder to time, it is possible to have some wiggle room into the timing of significant events. Hence, the timing of the reporting these events can, sometimes, be manipulated.
I suppose it is because they are a competitor.
I believe so as well. Given the ephemeral responses to recent positive announcements, it seems a waste of time and money to just release smaller news items. May as just wait on the bigger stuff.
And another pile of shares listed 10 minutes after the bell. what are these?
I think Q3 will improve on Q2 and be ‘record setting’. My interpretation of Gary’s statement is that we are in Q4 and he was talking about the current and near future outlook.
We had some some discussion of Q3 a while back that made reasonable points that many new distributors from Q2 had barely enough time to set-up and get sales going, so that Q3 should build on Q2 without any further expansion. My feeling is that alone should get us to 1 million. Hoping for 1.2-1.3 million.
I did a search on some and the general trend i saw was that their share value tended to double in the month after listing. I don’t know anything about the companies I looked at and what other press releases they had. Most also started at better positions in with regards to their stock charts (RSI etc) than PCTL, so I think that gives us a little more headroom.
So much misinformation, I don’t know were to begin.
‘hypocaloric acid”
That made me chuckle.
COVID is a pandemic. The definition(s) of pandemic are not based on a death toll threshold since that would make declaring a pandemic difficult until after the worst is over.
As for COVID, there is no evidence that the worst is behind us. One could easily argue that things are still going to get worse. The death toll will continue to rise, that is certain.
Low volume is the problem. I get the feeling that the longs are all loaded up and waiting while the short-term traders are trading money amongst themselves. We need a new influx of investors to get the price back up. Hopefully continued good news from the company like our move out of the pinks and Q3 rev (profit?) will bring in some new investors.
Earlier in the year he said $4 million rev for the year. Then he reiterated that estimate. Seems like a straightforward estimate of near term performance.
I spray my masks with Hydrolyte whenever i get home. Just a gentle mist on the outside and, sometimes, on the inside if it is getting a little too stanky. I also spray my hands before going inside. We have a decontamination table set up outside our apartment. We use hydrolyte to spray down items, including food items, before bringing them inside.
I have a hard time believing they will start a share buyback. This is a small rapidly growing company that needs cash to expand and pay of debt. If they have any extra money lying around it should all go into growing the business.
Whatever happens, it will be an interesting week.
I should be possible to perform an antibody tiger assay after vaccination. This is not typical as it is costly and complicated things. However, my employer does for HepB vaccine as we want to be sure.
I still have all my shares and won’t sell for a while. I’m patient.
So are you happy that your expectations were exceeded?
Eye-balling it, it would take about a month for the death cross at these valuations. Hard to imagine that Q2 would be held up that long or results so poor that the stock price doesn’t move up.
In other words, ain’t happin’.
I share your enthusiasm.
Good fortune to you!
I don’t think you have to kick the can down the road to Q3 and Q4. I am certain Q2 will also break records for this company. There will always be some. That expected more, but we are clearly in a phase of rapid growth of revenues.
I feel ya. I’ve been here about a year and I think I paid about 4 cents for some of my more expensive shares a year ago. The company is so much further along and in a better position since then. Eventually, the market will figure it out.
Pre-market 10,000 trade?
I agree. I invested because the product was a great solution for the ongoing problem of hospital acquired infections. This problem has only been compounded by SARS CoV 2, which will be with us - at least as a threat - for years to come. Effective, safe, and environmentally friendly - what more do you want?
This not to even mention all the other markets for HOCl.
If they are selling mostly bulk fluids, the $3 / gallon is not unreasonable. Sure, I pay $30 for my measly 2 gallons, but no way do high volume orders pay that much.
From my point of view, happy they reported Q1 and it was as I expected.
I always was intrigued that their website has a space holder for a small volume system.

I’m in only two other stocks other than PCTL and PCTL is about 80%.
However, big picture: Most of my wealth is in real estate and 401k (conservative), so my gambling money is a small percentage of the total. I would hate to loose it all, but I would survive.
Well that would be nice, I’m really getting bored of listing to all the handwringing on this board and look forward to getting back to our millionaire dreams.
Thanks, I just finished reading. A good review.
There is a common impatience in most regarding contact time. I work in a research lab and we use lots of different disinfectants. We all spray things down and wipe afterwards, but we all know that is not the best practice. It is always a matter of strength/effectiveness of the disinfectant and time. Some viruses are wimps (HIV) others are very tough. You can spend an eternity researching all the combinations of pathogens, surfaces, ambient conditions, and disinfectants to come up with kill times. 10 minutes is a conservative number that generally will do the trick.
Well that does roughly fit the $4M number.
We know they have shipped some large shipments at least a few times, hence the 10,000 gallon a day number. We just don’t know fi that was an exceptional day, a weekly occurrence, or every other day.
We also don’t know the price. $8 seems like a good guess. I and others pay $30 gallon from them, but we may be the few percent of sales paying retail on top of mostly wholesale pricing.
Just lots of unknowns, but it remains my gut feeling that no well run business works at capacity 24/7 all the time. It is not sustainable and your missing out on sales.
If they have a daily 10,000 gallon capacity, I would assume that they generally produce and ship less than this on most days. Simply, running manufacture capacity at 100% means your missing out on sales and not keeping up with demand. You have to have reserve capacity for big orders etc. So, I would assume some fraction of 10,000 gallons is sold on most days.
My last e-mail from Chesapeake Group was May 21?
I’ve purchased from them twice and have conversations with a representative regarding using their product in the research lab I work at. They are a real company selling a real product.
Hammer time....
I hear what your saying, but I actually made some profits in the Steipp era, whereas I lost money since Li took over.
Thanks for your opinion. As a researcher in medical sciences I know how long it can take for new ideas to gain acceptance and for technology to develop. Still, man, I really had hoped we be further along now.
Thank you for your answer.
That is my big wonder. Why with all the unique properties of Liquidmetal and all the possible markets have the results been so bad. Why can’t they make more sales? Is it still too expensive? Is the process no we’re near as relays suggested? Are customers just so conservative and won’t try something new? Why the failure?
Wish Alex would not call it HCl instead of HOCl. Two very different acids. Although I’m sure HCl will work on microorganisms as well as some of the larger vertebrates infesting the hospital.
Has anyone confirmed that $8, or is it just the average best guess?
