I don't think this move up is people buying for the sake of buying, I think this is shorts covering (those knuckleheads who shorted in the 5's and low 6's).
I hope it goes to 7's and beyond, but I think if it gets to 7's, some more knuckleheads will just short it again there.
All we can do is wait for the great news release to drop … then they burn, … and we laugh all the way to the bank.
Shorts up to 2,655,000 shares.
Buy your marshmallows, they will be burning soon.
I hope so.
I am interested in seeing Tuesdays new short report.
Been an OK couple of days, as you say, we need it to continue into the 7's, …. then some shorts cover and push it to the 8's, … which (hopefully) cause more shorts to cover.
We shall soon see.
We have a new outside CEO?
We own 100% of Caligold (supplying revenue) and 100% of Mojave Jane (supplying revenue)?
And best of all, most recently, for ONLY the crazy small sum of 2.6 million dollars, we got 40% of 2083 Group, Inc., and they (we) own 4 companies.
#1 SpeedWeed
#2 Verdalink
#3 The Joint Studios, Inc.
#4 SW Celebrity, LLC
Go to the speedweed.com website and check it out. Distribution centers and drivers and intrastructure all over California - IN PLACE - making sales - making money.
Check out what the other 3 companies do and how they all will help push and sell all of our products.
They (we) own 40 live and recorded shows delivering and distributing content through Sirius-XM, Cumulus Networks, iHeartRadio, Premiere, The World Famous Comedy Store and All Things Comedy.
And we just bought 40% of all of that, already in place and all helpful for ONLY 2.6 million dollars.
This company, with new management, is on the right path to great operating revenues that will just grow and grow in the future.
GREAT GREAT Article by Seeking Alpha. Thanks
Thanks Again, You understand the reason I asked about warrants. Once you pointed that out to me (which I was not considering at all), I realized that Baker or anybody would NOT commit BIG $$$ until AFTER the use them or lose them date. So if we can't rely on that, it has to be ASCO and any news we get.
There just is no huge money coming in without news.
As you said, it makes no sense at all for Baker or our other current investors to do so …. and T. Rowe Price or Janus or etc. won't because it just not liquid enough right now.
So it's be patient and wait for ASCO and other great news …
…
…
then I'll laugh as the shorts GET BURNED.
Thanks Again Phantom.
P.S. I think the warrants were a 5 year term starting in Oct. 2018, so that would be Oct. 2023!!!
Good deal if you can get it, fast forward to 2023, MRKR at $280 a share, they get to buy in at $5.
Yes, I agree … Warrants SUCK (unless they give them to me).
Here's the thing. We should be seeing revenue in the 1st and 2nd quarter 2019, but by 4th quarter we should have a good idea as to what they will be and increase going forward.
Also, there are other companies doing the vertical integration in California beside HHPHF.
I have been watching them.
One of them is very equal to HHPHF as far as the businesses and brands they acquired, BUT the difference is that their market cap if about 5 TIMES what HHPHF is.
So in effect, if both are successful, we are buying here at 5 TIMES the discount.
Sounds good to me. BUY NOW and HOLD.
THANK YOU Phantom,
Just a few comments.
#1 GO ASCO. ASCO abstracts are always So Very Important.
#2 You Said "The most important thing is NO MORE WARRANTS. That’s exciting. Warrants suck."
I could not agree any more with that, Warrants Suck.
So a question, when is the date that all existing warrants have to be executed by? What's the use them or lose them date?
#3 "partnership with a “top tier” pharma company in the future".
I do not want one. The only reason top tier do that is because they know they are stealing long term value (AND MONEY) from us.
Phantom, do you really think that would be best for us?
If we need additional money to complete a trial that is going to make a gazillion dollars … then we should just do an offering, dilute amongst ourselves (ourselves including institutions), and keep the gazillion for ourselves and not give most of it to a top tier.
Or is my thinking on this incorrect? And if so, just let me know why.
Thank You Phantom, Me or nobody else can argue with your logic.
I totally was not thinking about the warrants, as you said, " They have no reason to buy right now when in a year if we go up to $20 they can still buy at $5."
I ain't selling anything significate under $25 so I guess I will just have to exercise that patience and wait.
I just really want to see these shorts, who are killing all of us, GET BURNED.
I've been pushing on their vertical integration plan (which is great) for a while now.
I don't think many are even aware of this company, still under the radar of most MJ investors.
Hello Rogue Gambler, You probably don't want my advice … but it would be … buy a lot more at these crazy cheap prices and dollar cost average down … then just hold and you will be well rewarded in the future.
I agree (for the most part), except I'm not very patient all the time.
I just wish that Baker Brothers, etc, would actually put in some REAL money into MRKR. They have 5 million in, out of a 15 billion portfolio.
If Baker Brothers would put in some real money here, they would instantly force all the shorts to cover …. and they would have instant profit because all the shorts covering would raise the price to higher than they bought in at.
I don't understand why that doesn't happen or hasn't happened yet.
If Baker REALLY believed in MRKR potential, then INVEST some real $$$$, force the shorts out and instantly profit from the result.
It would be best for everybody including MRKR.
At some point in the future MRKR will have to dilute for needed additional cash … and at some point in the future they will want to include Viracyte.
DO IT NOW, Baker Brothers put in a BUNCH OF $$$$ (a new round of funding - dilute now), MRKR purchase Viracyte, MRKR put the rest in the bank so there is no need for future dilution …. and run the shorts to cover at the same time.
And we would all be happy over the short term and even happier over the long term.
Hi, I do not believe the shorts are short because they think the company is fundamentally bad or will deliver bad news, I think they are just playing "The Trend Is Your Friend".
It's been heading down from $12.50 for months and all of these recent shorters (about half of them), who all shorted below $7.50 just jumped on the bandwagon and will be the first and worst hit when unexpected great news is reported.
And really, the more short shares there are, the higher the price will artificially go when they all have to scramble to cover, which hopefully will cause even more of them to have to cover, and up the price goes higher.
Shorts up another 300,000+, up to almost 2.4 million shares.
I just want to laugh as they all get burned the first time there is great company news.
Hi Lady luck, your comment is exactly what I mean and why I am so frustrated.
Let's assume you (and all of us investors) are correct, and it's just a matter of time because MRKR tech is really a game changer.
But here's the thing. Us small time investors (and yes, 50k, 100k 200k is small time) AIN'T THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH BRAINS.
There are dozens and dozens of really smart people who work for dozens of mutual funds, etc., who's jobs it is to all day long investigate and find great biotechs with great potential.
So where the ---- are they?
They NEVER wait for "the news" or the FDA approval, by that time it's too late. Buy on the rumor, sell on the news.
Where are all the big investors and their money?
Juno, Kite, Bluebird, Alnylam, Seattle Genetics, Vertex, Excelis, etc., etc., ALL had plenty of big investors BEFORE the "News" or "approval".
Seriously, where are these people?
It's not liquid enough … there's not enough shares for them to buy.
Nooooooooo, that didn't stop them from all of the above companies.
This price and this market cap is JUST CRAZY for MRKR's HUGE HUGE potential.
YES, I'm frustrated … be patient it won't happen overnight …. HELL, it should of happened yesterday and last month, not by end of year or next year or when there is news or FDA approval.
For months I've been putting in more and more and more waiting for everybody to wake up.
What the ----?
Phantom, I bet everybody at ASCO is well versed in CAR-T … and 90% of them are clueless concerning Multi-TAA.
They should be screaming all results from Multi-TAA to as many as possible.
Even just the early results gotten so far is so impressive, they've got to get the word out.
Historically, ASCO moves stock price.
I have a question.
How many abstracts will MRKR present at ASCO 2019 in Chicago this May/June?
The deadline to submit was February 12, 2019, so he should know that answer.
PLEASE don't let the answer be "NONE".
Yes, you are correct. I just don't get why there is not "BIG demand to purchase" NOW.
It's a home run, what is everybody waiting for?
THIS PRICE IS JUST CRAZY … SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP WHEN THIS NIGHTMARE IS OVER AND WE ARE AT $12 LIKE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE.
What happens is I'm going to be LMAO.
First the lowest price shorts have to cover, which raises the price, making the next lowest price shorts have to cover, which raises the price even higher, and so on and so on, and then maybe we will get to a price that MRKR deserves.
Shorts up to OVER 2 million shares now.
I hope they get their asses burned...SOON!
Well, we tried once before, let's see if we can do it this time.
Stair Step up and up … up on heavy volume, then down a bit on average/light volume … and repeat … and repeat
Seriously, if we can do that for a week or two, we would drive all of these low price shorters to cover.
P.S. I am getting sick of hearing about CAR-T. This article on CAR-T and that article and EVERYBODY is SO excited about and talking about CAR-T, and all I read about is CAR-T.
That's NOT us. CAR-T is what takes 4 times as long, costs 10 times as much and kills patients due to cytokine release syndrome.
When are all these so called intelligent, knowledgeable investors going to wake up and take a good look at our technology.
UP TO 31 cents - Buy NOW before it's Too LATE.
Should be $1.50 soon.
To the Moon Alice!!
Phantom, you said "same technology but for infectious diseases".
If that's the case, wouldn't you want Marker to buy it now (cheaper), than to buy it later (more expensive)?
TWO MINUTES LATER …. after THINKING, it may be better to wait as over the short run MRKR stock should rise more than the value of Viracyte, so we would be in a better position using stock that is worth more to buy less.
OK now, can we PLEASE keep the price above $6?
Or better yet, go to $8 and make a ton of shorts cover?
Hello mapman, We both have similar stock pasts going back to cheap TPIV.
It sounds like you played it all very well. Without a crystal ball, it's impossible to sell at the "very top" and buy at the "very bottom", but you were close enough at both to make and keep a very good profit, so... Congratulations.
Concerning your management question, like Tony the tiger said "IT'S GREAT".
Between many years of quality experience in the field and the connection to Baylor College of Medicine and having a Nobel prize winner, it would be hard for Marker to have better management.
I don't think present management or the large investors would want to get bought out.
They know how much it will be worth in the near future.
I knew that was true, at that time, but they could be buying now if they really thought it was a blockbuster. Put in an order for 1 millions shares at $8 and it will be filled tomorrow. If they think it's going to $20 or $40 or $100, it doesn't matter to them in the big picture if they bought at $4 or $8.
I just think there should be some MAJOR BUYING going on right now at these prices, not all this selling and shorting.
They certainly got the money to invest, they just ain't doing it here and now.
ARE WE FOOLING OURSELVES?
Most on this board REALLY believe in MRKR and REALLY believe in MRKR's future potential …
… and we convince ourselves that we are right because "proven genius biotech investors like NEA and Aisling and Baker Brothers and Perceptive Life Sciences" have also invested right along side of us and they put in BIG (BIG?) MONEY.
So obviously, NEA and Aisling and Baker Brothers and Perceptive must also SUPER REALLY BELIEVE as we do.
But do they really?
Let's use the "put your money where your mouth is" theory, which goes like … the more money you invest, the more you believe in the company.
NEA, who is invested 70% in biotech, owns 16 (SIXTEEN) biotech stocks that they have more invested in than MRKR. They invested 5 times as much, or 10 times, even 20 times as much money. (NOW OK, let's be fair, some of that money is profits as opposed to investment).
BUT how much do they really believe in MRKR if we are number 17 on their list?
Baker Brothers, who is invested 100% in biotech, put in what? 5.4 million.
5.4 million … out of a portfolio of 15 BILLION?
How much "belief" is that?
Perceptive Life Sciences, who is invested 99% in biotech, with 2.9 BILLION portfolio, invested 8 million?
With Aisling, who is invested 97% in biotech, with only 95 million portfolio, at least we are #4 on their list of investments.
All these investors are doing is … covering their bases.
It doesn't seem like, by the amount of money invested, that they REALLY believe.
I wish our big? investors would REALLY believe and invest some REAL MONEY.
It's crazy, the only good thing is because they are shorting at such LOW prices … ANY substantial jump up should scare/force all those new shorts to cover … which (SHOULD?) force the price higher and which should (I HOPE) cause more higher/older shorts to cover also.
Been about 20 minutes since I replied to you … and all I've been thinking about is Qualcomm.
You are correct that I will probably … at some point along the upward ride … that I will get "stop lost" out of many of my shares.
That's the game and risk I take.
Qualcomm … same thing happened, I still owned a good bit as it skyrocketed up and up and up …
BUT BOY, if I would have held on to all my original QCOM shares.
I tend to go with "better safe than sorry" … but then again, in hind sight ...
Oh God, I laughed when I read that … because you're probably right.
If MRKR hits $85 to $100 by EOY, you KNOW what I will be doing with 90% of my shares.
$12.00 to $14.50 ??? … I HOPE
I don't know, just doesn't seem natural to close the exact same for 4 days straight. Let's see if Fridays close is $5.10 again.
Closed at $5.10 for the 4th day in a row.
No, nothing strange about that at all.
7000+ shares traded at $5.05 + <.
Are we closing at $5.10 again?
Overnight
Bid 5.05
Ask 5.34
I would have to agree that the shorts seem to have been correct … as I have been going "Hmmmm" for about a month now trying to figure out why a biotech with potentially great potential would trade at such a low market cap.
At this point, I just hope that we all can just burn the shorters real good at some point in the future in a GIANT Short Squeeze.
Currently $5.16. Also currently I have More than Double the amount of $ invested in MRKR than I really wanted to (due to I kept buying as it went down and down). I REALLY don't want to put more $ in, but I am kind of being forced to (because I still believe in MRKR).
I put in limit buy orders at $5.05 and at $4.04.
If I buy more at $5.05 - Fine, but GOD, I hope I never see my $4.04 executed.
This is just absolutely ridiculous.
