Really crazy dull here- 80 million shares held by institutions and insiders out of a possible 103 million OS .
At some point this has to make a major move [up?]
Definately not a news driven stock-
Soooo we wait....
I think you're right about being asked to resign.
Something may be close . And I think you're right again that the company is well aware of the investor public's perception in regards to insider sales at this late date.
The filing was tonight so let's see if the company has more to say about this Thursday.
This is interesting
On June 22, 2009, Eric A. Rose, M.D., a member of the Board of Directors of Nephros, Inc., notified the Company that he resigned as a member of the Board of Directors effective immediately.

I think you're right- I'm just thankful ACLS didn't have any "Bad News". Imagine where we'd be then.
Company still has the cash and now it looks like it may get some revenue from the AMAT venture- seems like we should be trading mucher higher.
I hear ya- I would love to know too when any of my GTC's were gonna get filled- I have them from .005 to .05 on all the trusts . I take solace in the fact that I only got 1k out of the 25k I was bidding for.
The trusts have been trading that way since last fall- no rhyme nor reason. It was explained to me by Schwab's trading "specialist", that since we're on the grey sheets the MM's can do as they please . But he said also that he doubted anyone was really purposely filling below bids etc. He said that with all the different stocks traded on any given day the grey sheets would not warrant any human trade specialist or MM. Basically he said the stock would "almost" always be trade electronically matching buys and sells on an almost random basis . Kinda like bids, and asks colliding in a trading space. Last fall I had bids in @ .02-.01- .007 and .005 . I saw a million share lot got through at .004 totally bypassing my bids [ and I'm sure many others ] and thought- WTH ? Next day I get filled on my .005 bid for 100k- but ofcourse that time I'm not complaining. These last 2 months it seems like things are tightening up a bit and I'm sure there might be a fund or two actually trying to direct some trades to their favor. Once we get a handle on the real estate holdings value we'll have our true trading range- hopefully we'll be starting in the dollars once that figure is disclosed/ arrived at.
I agree- The strangest part to me is that yesterday the stock traded in an orderly manner for like the first time ever- small stair step climb up .16-.17 .18 .
Schwab-- I have GTCs all over the place- that was an obvious partial fill
Got 1k @ .035 first thing this morning--
that buy cost me 50k on paper
but I'll take it

Getting a little "squeezy" after hours.
Some [shorts?] a little nervous about the CC tommorrow at 11:00 am .
Nice find! Thanks for posting that!
Not gonna jinx this latest move- rumors are flying
I agree- lots of different reasons to sell-
I'm looking at it more on the theory that an FDA decision may not be imminent based on the funds sale in mid May and the insider sales this month.
Just something to be aware of.
That's the question..
http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/1196298.htm
More insider sales ...
http://xml.10kwizard.com/filing_raw.php?repo=tenk&ipage=6380734
Nice blocks right at 4:00pm-
Another filing-
Institutions continue to like ACLS.

just got word WAMUQ has a BUYOUT from JPM
wow!!!
Kinda interesting from Barron's about trust preferreds vs reg preferreds etc . Notice the trust prefs rank above
even the goverment tarp prefs- [I realize we're not getting tarp money here - at least not yet]
PREFERRED STOCK COMES IN two flavors: Traditional preferred shares are a senior form of equity that ranks above common shares but below corporate debt. Trust preferred technically is debt, ranking above the regular variety.
Until recently, investors didn't make much distinction between the two. One benefit of regular preferreds is that dividends are taxed at the preferential 15% rate for individuals, while trust preferreds' dividends are taxed like ordinary income. Trust preferreds now trade at higher prices than regular preferreds of the same company, because investors want to own securities that rank above the government's TARP investments.

That's my thinking- I played AVGN and DVAX the same way . Having cash in the bank is really positive in this market.
Can't argue whether it is overbought or not- noticed over the weekend that the board marks have gone from 3 to 31 . So I'm guessing there are more than a few trading groups on this now. I've been following ACLS since last fall and it has been a good trading stock . If you look a little deeper the stock gets more interesting. Really small float and strong institutional and private holdings. They've got cash, tools and a nice building so at least they have some value. For whatever reason the Institutions are buying/holding this stock - so i'll follow the money here so to speak. Thanks for your thoughts!
Thanks!
Cool! Thanks for the heads up. Do you have a GTC order in or did you just play [ put your bid in] today?
Last trade in afterhours market .61 - .58x.60
Looks like Monday could be a run over .70 and we can dream about $1.00/shr by Friday-
Institutions and the like own over 60% of the OS here. Might even own near 70%. [ I need to check the holdings again] We should move quickly once the profit taking is done from the .20-.45 range holders. [Can't blame anybody if they want to lock in some profit ].
So far the old saying sell in May and walk away hasn't applied .
GL!
Whoever ruined our close today gets no pony!! only a BMW.
Everyone gets a pony!
OK now we're at 102k traded?
So we trade 12k shares today?
Stellar volume
Maybe the ghost of shells gone by
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Evry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but theyre not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
[2]
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it cant be true
I should smile, thats exactly what I do
.502 x .53 PM
Florida thinks they will be getting up to .20 on the dollar on these ivestments. If that holds true the Trust preferreds would be made whole before that .
Lehman Brothers, Inc. Repo Triparty Overnight Fixed REPO TRIPARTY OVERNIGHT FIXED 2.05 07/25/2008 $ 400,000,000 2.08 $ 400,000,000 $ 400,000,000
https://www.sbafla.com/pool/
I have to wait til the office opens there to get a couple questions answered.
Nice to see the state of Florida also battling for money- can only help the little guy.
I thought this was kinda interesting- I wonder part of what the Florida pension fund owns is trust preferreds.
Bankruptcies move slowly; it could take years for Florida to recover anything.
"Florida gets to wait in line like everyone else,'' said Andrew Gottesman, a vice president at SecondMarket, which is a marketplace for bankruptcy claims.
Estimates vary on how much Florida might recover, from a few cents on the dollar to 20 cents. An average guess is about 14 cents on the dollar.
.14 on the dollar would be fine with me [$3/shr] on the TPs. But somehow I think it will be more.
