Yes nomotionseller, you are not bipolar. There are small players like me who have $40k in this stock. I am not going to comment on your stake but needless to say people it is not small. I am friend and past coworker of nomotionseller. There is huge difference when you are misled with a small investment and a substantial investment. Titan has misled investors for several years. I am hopeful and getting more confident that we will both be rewarded my friend.
SELL YOUR SHARES THEN.
If people are worried about another dilution, then sell your shares and wait for the dilution and buy back at a cheaper price. Pretty simple. Sit on the sidelines with no skin in the game and take your chance then. Unfortunately, we cannot have it both ways. I have shares. Waiting for the dilution and then buying a ton more. If you truly believe the product will come to market, it does not matter what the pps per share now is.
ISRG initial IPO price in the year 2000 was $9 and I believe nobody wanted to partner with them. $533.47 this morning. Are we ISRG? No. Could we be a MAZOR before being bought out. Yes. I will take 10 to 20 times my money at this point.
I check this board for real information as it is difficult to not check for 12 months. I suspect the pps will be significantly different in 12 months.
GLTA
Titan does not have a marketing team nor does it have a manufacturing plant. Buyout is inevitable. Makes more sense to dilute to get to FDA approval rather than get a partner before FDA approval. Increases their buyout number in my opinion. I believe they could have had a partner long ago if they chose.
Bottom line, everyone with shares will profit but some will profit more than others.
A little surprised our pps has not gone crazy. The share price will be significantly higher by year end. Once we all understand this fact, we will all sleep better.
I am content with my position.
You have to remember. I have been in this stock for many years. I am used to getting my balls twisted in a vise. It is a long battle and this stock has tanked multiple times. Sitting on $75k in cash. Waiting on the announcement for further dilution and jumping in more. Still have enough shares if they announce a partnership and they do not need to dilute to make me happy once it comes to market. Tick Tock. We will see.
Wonder what happens to pps once it hits $5 and institutions and mutual funds can buy in?
Bought $25,000 worth today.
That's my plan.
Spent $25,000 today. A few thousand shares at $4.23 and the remainder unfortunately again at $4.50. Was hoping for a mid morning drop which did not happen. Of course it happened after my second purchase of around $17,000. Should warn you when I buy shares. It usually drops. Hilarious. Sitting at 10,000 shares.
Think I will follow your advice. Appreciated.
We bought rental properties because we did not trust the stock market. Hence, our dilemma now. Know Titan could compete with DaVinci but hard to trust management of companies who have misled stockholders. Will be jumping in on Thursday when funds clear.
Congrats!!! I am jealous. I was at 120,000 shares pre split. A long way to go to break even. Strong work!!!!
Exactly
Perhaps I will get lucky and they will dilute tomorrow. lol
Thanks. I was prepared to put it all in at once. Taking three days to transfer money to Schwab. Does not hit my account until Thursday morning. Depressing watching the stock go up daily. Has changed my mindset. Woulda shoulda coulda.
Had to sell one of my rental properties and transfer money into a brokerage account in order to be in a position to add to my position. Yes, obviously it would have been preferable to have had the funds available. I would certainly be smiling right now. But the rental property treated me well.
Conmed and or Verb are possibilities but I am not betting on either. The fact that Titan is now freezing their design made me decide on adding to my position. It solidified my believe that it will come to market. Obviously, I want to maximize my investment so it is difficult to decide my next entry point.
What I do know Adrock, is that Titan has disappointed investors consistently over a long time frame which is making a lot of investors leery. Most are just waiting for the next dilution which has happened five to six times since I have been involved with Titan.
Again, with countless investor conferences, I am surprised there has not been an announcement of a partner long ago.
If there is anyone out there with some advise, I would certainly appreciate it.
What if I have 4000 shares currently(still down 75 per cent of what I paid for them) and I want to put in $100,000?
Definitely Chia Pet. Good call.
At least you didn't use an exclamation mark in your reply. Thank you.
You really think Titan is going to talk to you and provide you with real information. I have friends who own this stock with substantial positions who have been misled by this company when communicating directly with them.
You didn't answer glg20's question. Why is the stock price at such low levels with Conmed on the table? I have had this stock for almost 6 years.
Question
Why wouldn't Titan and Conmed have announced their partnership years ago to stabilize pps to ensure any future need for dilution would be met with incredible demand?
All I have seen since owning this stock 6 years ago is countless cycles of excitement followed by disappointment with volatile shifts in pps.
I have learned to just leave my shares alone and understand it will come to market.
Do you think there is intentional manipulation in the pps to get the big boys to slowly buy in? Will Conmed be given countless shares of Titan in becoming a partner?
Titan has been to so many investor conventions I have lost count. Hard to believe nobody has been interested in partnering for the last six to seven years.
Great post until you mentioned Brady. Now I feel a bit deflated.
Couldn't agree with you more. Been holding this stock for five plus years. In that time, I have learned that you cannot believe or trust the board in this company. If you believe they are truly protecting your interest and the pps, you are sadly mistaken. Raise after raise after raise. A raise after a reverse split to kill momentum in this stock. Rinse and repeat. Changes in timeline, etc. Announce great news followed by dilution. Multiple investor meetings and conferences and yet nothing. No announcements of significant partners to get across the finish line with these conferences. Just holding and waiting for all the big fish to eventually get in at bargain basement prices while us long term investors sit and wait. I even pulled money out of Titan and rode a little wave with Alibaba. Reinvested into Titan only to lose it all with Titan's decisions. I am not whining. Just realistic. Definition of insanity. Expecting a different result from the same behaviors. I believe the company will get FDA approval and I will make a profit. New investors should see the pattern of behavior and be cautious because they will get NO signals from the company.
Dilution announcement drops price per share. Institutions can now buy shares cheap. Big boys get in cheap while us longs get screwed again. I continue to be amazed at how little Titan cares about its shareholders. Been holding this stock for years. Same pattern of behavior. Why not wait until the pps climbed a bit before diluting?
Manipulation?
I seems every time the stock dips down a bit, it climbs back up and ends the day back where it started. Is it just me or is there slow accumulation going on? Also strange that they cannot announce their software partner(which would boost pps) but can announce a delay in FDA approval.
Why not announce the partner to shoot pps, reverse the reverse split ratio and get some excitement in this stock. Obviously, there is a lot going on behind the scenes we are not privy too. Realize we are closer to big news than we realize.
Afternoon conference call.......
Like I mentioned earlier. The conference call was after hours to allow investors to calm down and digest the information. What would have happened to the stock if the conference call was in the morning? Timmmmbbbbeeeeeerrrrrr! That is what would have happened.
If it was good news, it would have been in the morning. Bottom line. I believe the stock will take a bit of a hit but certainly not as bad as it could have. Again, it allows investors to take a breath and realize it is not the end of the world. A minor hiccup in the bigger scheme of things.
Why have the conference call at the end of the day?
If board members are talking about doing a reverse split to raise pps and up list, why not have the conference call in the morning? If it is indeed good news it would generate interest, increase buying and increase pps so the reverse split would not have to be so large in the future. Just seems like common sense to me. Quite the mystery. These same companies dilute after hours to prevent a significant drop to give investors some time to think about it. They also give great news and then dilute to ruin the momentum. Why not reward investors with good news in the morning , then watch the share price climb. Just sayin.
NO CHANGE IN PPS
Another great example with this stock. I also received the videos from Titan demonstrating its usage. Again, met with an actual drop in pps. I believe the medical community is well aware of the potential of this robot.
Do you know how cumbersome it is to move a DaVinci robot out of the way to do another type of surgical case? Not fun. And if you bump your $100k robotic arm into a wall, people are not happy.
Tough to be patient but once the rest of the world actually learns about this robot and investors realize this could be another BABA, look out.
Think about it. Only 394 followers on this board. How many people are truly aware of TITXF? You Pretty exciting video. What do you think will happen when the public gets wind of it? The medical community is fully aware of what this robot brings to the table. Be patient. This stock is going to explode!!!
An after hours announcement of a dilution of about 300 million shares. No way to go it alone without money to do so.
Keep watching this board with the same responses and rhetoric. Reverse split, design freeze, buyout, etc. Bottom line is it does not matter. Reverse split will happen when it happens. Design freeze may or may not happen. A buyout will reduce your gains on this stock but if they go it alone you know there will be more dilution even after the reverse split and FDA approval. Where are they going to get the money to manufacture, distribute, market and service the product. These components do not exist. They will have to do this themselves and they do not have the capital for it. The stock is doing fine for the position it is in. They may have to dilute more to keep money flowing and you know they will do it time and time again after good news comes out. It is just a matter of time. Would be nice to see actual factual knowledge rather than what if this what if that. If you have money invested in this stock, just hold it and forget about it. Put a sell order at $20 on your shares and forget about it for a few years. You may get a pleasant surprise one day. We are all waiting for the golden ticket or big payout with this stock. What if it hits $20 and you sell, then it climbs to $30. You will still be disappointed. It basically does not matter. We will see in a very short time.
I have been in this stock for 5 plus years. I was down over $30k and with some hard work, I have recovered my losses. Not sure how long you have owned this stock but if it is only for a short time, you are very lucky. Buy your shares and try to ignore it for a year or so. Will there be a reverse split? Definitely. When will it happen? After trading hours so you will not have an opportunity to sell when it does. Will it drop after the reverse split? Probably. In the long run does it matter if the robot comes to market? No. I was originally very angry over my losses bit have gotten over it. Wanted to Titan to get a big partner so I could breathe easier. Now I realize it is better for Titan to go it alone. Bigger payoff at the end. We are all shareholders and are out of the loop. Either you are gambling on it being a winner or you will lose your investment. Quite simple. It is the people with balls that win big. If you want a safe investment, by an index fund. This investment is by no means safe. This company has a predictable history of publishing fantastic news and then dropping the bomb after hours to issue more shares. My advice is if you see a rise in pps and then see a drop of 8 to 10 per cent with no announced news, my guess is the insiders know something and are getting out before us pee ons figure it out. You can sell when this drop happens and hope you instincts are right. The difficulty is we are running out of time. Do you want to take a chance of selling and getting out of the game before really great news is announced. It would be devastating to me. Especially, after watching this stock for five plus years. I thought DaVinci was a joke when it hit our ORs five plus years ago. The stock was $275 and I thought what a scam. You know the rest of the story with Intuitive now. What will happen to Titan stock if it comes to market? My guess it will be substantially higher then the pps after the reverse split happens. Losing your mind over the possibility of not maximizing your profits to the extreme is not worth it. This blog does not have many people on it. We the few realize what this company can possibly aspire to and we are gambling some money based on it. I believe we will all be rewarded eventually. I could have sold when it hit 50 cents recently suspecting more dilution was coming. But if an announcement of a partner hit and I was not in the game, I would have lost my mind. The other alternative like I mentioned is if you see a significant drop in a day or so, sell half your position and buy back in when the dust settles to average down your pps.
My prediction is that Trump(and Putin through hacking) invest $50 million and get us through to FDA approval.
Trump wears a "Make Titan Great Again" cap at the announcement.
Hoping for a good day. Feels a lot better being in this stock now that I recovered from my $35k loss since investing in it to breaking even. Quite the journey. Have always believed in this company. Extremely disappointed in the prior management's decisions. Believe we are on the right track now.
We will all be laughing in a few years and get sigh of relief when Titan is $5 per share or more with no stock split. In life you have to take a big risk to get a big return. This is our opportunity ladies and gentlemen. Tell your friends. Jump in and hang on!!!
Here we go!!!
Told myself I would not look at this stock for two years. Then a friend texted me to take a look as you are closer to buying your new truck. Glad I did not watch it initially. I knew they were going to issue more shares but I was shocked to see it sell these shares quickly and then jump significantly. I would have sold on the offering and be kicking myself once again. Will try to ignore the stock some more. My sell price is $50. With 130,000 shares, that puts me at $6.5 million. With MZOR at $53, it will not take long. Hoping about 5 years from now. Been fighting and clawing to recoup my losses for the last few years. Glad to gets some great news on Friday. I think the truck can wait. Will buy a BMW M series instead!!!
Based on volume and pps today, I would guess the announcement will come after hours today. Classic positive news followed by more dilution. Announcement will be for Canadian shareholders only. Rinse and repeat.
Good points 66Mustang. I am not implying Titan sell the farm. Why not get a limited partner so that we do not have to continually discuss how Titan is going to afford to get to FDA approval? Been watching this blog daily for years. Everyone is concerned about it. Nobody has the answers. Who is going to make the disposable that generate revenue for robots after Titan is approved. Because that is how robotic companies generate their revenue. Titan? Doubt it. Get a limited partnership now. You give us an influx of cash short term and we agree to have you produce our disposables after we get to market? I guess it is difficult to watch the same pattern of behavior for five plus years. Hard to look past prior management. Also difficult to NOT predict future behavior based on past decisions made by the same company. Does a leopard change its spots? We will see.
140,000 shares owned and I am shorting this stock? I have been preaching this stock for 5 plus years. You are going to have come up with a better response then that. Read the comment. Think through it. Wouldn't you feel better knowing we had the capital to get to FDA approval?
Titan has been having investor conferences for a while now. Why would they not agree to a partner when they are starving for cash? Again, they do not care about their shareholders. Dilution is easier. The shareholders suffer. The bottom line is the product has to come to market. I do not understand why Titan would not have a huge sigh of relief, get a partner, share in the wealth with this partner, and advertise the partnership everywhere they can! Shareholders would go crazy, the pps would skyrocket and ISRG and other developing robotic companies would go "Oh no!" Who suffers by getting a partner? Who suffers knowing we have enough capital to get us to FDA approval? Unless you agree that there is more financial incentive with board members NOT to partner. Which again means more dilution. Not being a Debbie Downer. Just being a realist. Wouldn't it be nice if a partnership was announced, we had enough money and we would not have to comment daily on how much working capital. Remember when we had to stop production because we ran out of money?
I have been in this stock for approximately 5 years. What is your definition of long vs short term investor?
