Hope this stays above 14 cents today.
The New York conference and the ABC news should propel this higher.
Still can't believe that just an event like the Golden Cross and cause this to run. I guess it's like the chicken and egg story - which came first.
GLTA.
Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying.
Hi Joby,
Didn't quite understand your view. When you say that the market cap is too rich, are you concerned with the large float?
Hi Mike,
The Smoke Cloak is like a "Beware of Dog" sign or like the Protected by ADT sign. It is supposed to deter culprits from targeting that particular establishment.
Though I agree with you that we have still not reached the level where this can be easily used for a mass market product. We seem to be more effective at the upstream point of a supply chain not at the user end so much.
That could and should change though.
Every passport can have a unique DNA mark, which cannot be duplicated. That DNA should be in a database and the DNA should be scanned every time the passport is used.
Even if you professionally replace the photograph, it will be impossible to replace the DNA mark. This way if one tries to use a stolen passport, the DNA scan should immediately throw up that information. Will mean a massive overhaul of the entire system and universal acceptance of the technology. Can be done but wonder whether the world will accept the change so easily.
More such incidents will possibly trigger the call for a change. Can be such a huge opportunity for APDN.
Thanks Mike for your posts. Great info to digest. In the next week or two, we should hear some positive news.
On a more lighter vein, Kem Cho means "How are you" and the language is Gujarati
Cheers and enjoy the week-end.
I only hope that the pps rises much before that, in anticipation of the future revenues.
Yes I see your point A1. My concern is how soon will APDN be able to ramp up to those 350 customers.
If we go by our past record for 5962 of 28 customers in a year or so. There is also a simmering dislike for the monopoly that APDN enjoys and customers may not be wanting to join the band willingly.
All this in a positive way. I am one who wants this to succeed the most but I am just questioning my faith in the stock.
To be honest, the revenue model is still not very clear to me.
If we continue to depend on new customers for new revenue it's going to be difficult. Even if we have a mandate expansion, how more new customers are we going to get.
There has to be a method of generating substantial recurring revenue from existing customers. One way is yearly renewals for the mark but somehow it should also be connected to recurring orders or authentications.
At this slow pace of revenue ramp up, how will we ever exceed our huge expenses to be able to make a profit.
Thanks A1. No issues with the delay.
So the volume does not make a difference. It is only if a new party signs on that we see some revenue. This way how does APDN ramp up its revenues?? Increasing the number of new companies is not so easy. We saw that last year.
Only 28 so far. Wish it was related to the volume or the number of components marked.
Certainly better volume today. Should break through that 13.80 cent wall.
Would be happy to see it go above 14 cents today.
Agree with you. In fact, Janice Meraglia does a much better job of it.
The Dr has a very monotonous tone.
Hi Mike,
Welcome. I have nothing better to do than search for some info on APDN.
Your spelling is pretty much there. I would spell it as Namaste.
Cheers and Goodnight.
APDN info.
Folks - Here is a link to a site which gives some info pertaining to APDN. Pretty neat. Nothing new out here but consolidated info.
http://immune.boards.net/board/14/apdn
Check it out.
Shail.
Thanks Yip for the Link.
At last we seem to be getting some visibility in the media.
Yes AG,
I am hanging in. Our day is probably just round the corner.
Cheers!!
GLTA.
Yes. Could be.
As per Mike, the last announcement for the Phase II awards from the MDA were expected in the 3/4th week of March.
Hence I am hoping that we have something by this month end.
Did anyone read the statement from Michael Stegman- Housing Finance Counselor to the Treasury Secretary. Talks about investors being ready for Mortgage Credit risks.
I am not able to post it. It is on Ameritrade.
Hope you are right Vans.
This 14 cent range is awful and frustrating. Would love to see this above 16 cents.
Hope we have some positive MDA and DLA announcements this month.
Enjoy your stay
Janice Meraglia talks to Bill Martinez
http://billmartinezlive.com/janice-meraglia-february-27-2014/
It is a podcast. Anything to clamp on to know that these guys are live and kicking.
Hi Daenerys,
Welcome aboard. Yes the wall is thinner but we are still languishing around 14.
The news today is good and in fact we have had several good PRs last month. Would love to see this go past 16/17 cents.
GLTA
Yes Yip,
Somehow I am not able to do that now. Did that for 6 years and losing patience I guess.
I would at least like to see a healthy uptrend. This daily struggle makes me wonder whether all is okay.
There is a huge wall at 14 cents. Will take something to push past that.
I think I have made the mistake of getting emotionally attached to this stock.
Have half a mind to get out and return when there is some action. This is getting so boring now. Never imagined that we will be struggling to stay afloat even in the mid teens.
Thanks SP,
Good to see something positive and to get some people back on the board.
The board seems to have lost some of its charm and activity level. Need something sensational to get the interest back.
DLA mandate expansion and the MDA Phase II award are the two things that can trigger a change but when will that happen???
Come on APDN!!! Get some action going.
Are we now going below 14 cents???
Just nothing happening out here to get this going.
Welcome Yip,
Yes I have seen the link to their blog on their web site. They have definitely improved their website look and feel.
Hi Yip, WT
Here is a link to the APDN Facebook page where you will get all the latest news, blog, PR or otherwise.

Hi Vans,
I had posted a link to this news over the week-end and had sought opinions.
I found this on another board and there they were talking of this helping curb the shorting of stock using borrowed shares. Not sure about the true impact but looks like it is a step in that direction.
This 14 cent range is so boring and we seem to be stuck here. Nothing exciting happening out here.
Sorry!! Forgot to paste the link. Here it is.

Hey Folks,
Came across this APDN Facebook page, which is different from the one made by a few investors.
This one seems to be created by APDN and has some recent links to a few events and news.
Cheers. Just trying to stir up some action on the board. Rather quiet off late.
Counterfeit Goods
I was just doing a google search for counterfeit goods and felt that if APDN was such a known name for counterfeit prevention, it's name should figure on any page related to counterfeit goods.
Apparently it does not. I was a bit surprised and disappointed but then I saw another company that does figure as one way of protecting brands. Click the link below

Guess if we have to make it big in the consumer product mass market segment, we need to have something which is easy to use and cheap. Not sure if we qualify.
Hey guys,
Saw this link on another board.
http://www.dtcc.com/~/media/Files/pdf/2014/2/7/a7676.ashx
Apparently related to the stock borrowing program which is being stopped. Does this apply to all stocks i.e OTC also. Thus will reduce shorting of stocks I guess at least to an extent.
A1- is APDN revenue a certain percentage of the total order value?
How does the order value relate to APDN revenues.
Yes I agree. The expansion might give just some temporary spike and things will cool off again for the reasons you mention.
It has been impossible to estimate revenue streams for this company. They have talked about so many partnerships besides DLA but we just can't figure out what is happening with each one of them or whether APDN benefits from them at all.
For eg. How is the Markem Image tie up helping APDN make money. How will the partnership with Brinks or DISC or RedWeb or Loomis helping them earn revenue. What about the copper protection deal in Sweden
No clarity.
Hi A1,
I think the problem with APDN is that if one compares performance figures with earlier quarters or months, the results always look reasonable.
Yet the present portrays a dull picture. For this to go up, we probably need to see more of the 5-10 million volume days. That will indicate some fresh interest in the stock.
Hey Mike,
That was pretty cute and sums up exactly the way we feel about Stony Brook. So I would second Pasta's request for you to send it to our dear old Dr and his First Lady Karol.
Cheers.
Thanks TG. Nice one.
Glad to hear that. Good for you.
Keep coming to board once in a while with some posts. It feels reassuring to have all the old timers still around.
Good luck.
