no volume? Another big chill moment? Too much BS with this penny stock and thats why I'm out and off to making money with better trades. I watch this stock with a group of stem cell related companies but at the end of the day CBAI is just another penny stock with high risk otherwise it wouldn't be 2 cents with no volume.
One of the issue I have with the cord blood storage model is that the margins would be slim as more an more companies got into this biz. Not to mention stem cell tech is changing and storage will be obsolute when adult cells can be manipulted enough to perform as stem cells. Public stem cell banking has endorsement and funding which slices the pie even more. The article I am posting can be looked as a positive or a negative for CBAI. You decide.

My Etade chart shows the .50 range high. Pitman had the right take on CBAI. A good survey would ask the question " who made more selling CBAI and moving on to other stocks or those that stayed with CBAI".
They make a market for the stock. Each market maker is free to buy and sell as they see fit. If you beleive the year over year price has to do with market makers you should sell and move onto companies that dont seem to have this problem. I have friends that are traders. Market makers are not freindly to each other. What you post makes them laugh. Sorry Locks
What do you mean control the stock? Are they supporting the current price or are they keeping it from moving up? MM's compete for the shares as you and I, so if they thought they are worth more they go after them. The reason they can play games is because there is little interest on the buy side. The can supply naked shares on the ask with little worries of buying them back at the bid. Its all legal.
The Stem cell tech is changing quickly. Storing cells may become obsolete before money can be made here. I wouldn't have all my money in this just this segment of the stem cell biz.
Dead money since October of 2011. If you bought in before, you have a loss. Some of us have moved on to better investments. Buying a stock and forgetting about it doesn't work.
Matt bought into a business model with shareholder money. He didn't invent anything. The premium it cost us to buy into the stem cell biz is what we deal with today. Have we captialized on bought stem cells? Can big Pharma do the same thing with less risk to shareholders? It looks like most stem cell stocks are doing poorly. If this stock is the next rocket, I can wait until Matt figures out how to lite the fuse.
Blame the yearly declines on who ever you want. I have sold most of my shares because since the RS and issuing more vote the story of CBAI has been horrible. Even with the increase in earnings the stock is weak. This is a penny stock so its what you don't know that is keeps putting downward pressure on the stock. What we do know can't seems to attract investors. I have moved onto making money in other stocks rather than wait for you to prove the rest of the investment community wrong with CBAI. If the MM's decide to start naked shorting into the bleak buying we have watch out below. Not bashing this company but dealing with the realities of penny stocks
It would have been nice to see the stock move up as we approach the financial results. I quess I should be happy that we are relatively flat.
I think you are so wrong on that one but good luck.
Not many shares traded today. The spring has gotten very tight.
.02 been there done thAT! i think .03 is the new floor. Inter day MM's today seems to be just that. If we finish today Friday above .03 or even above .03 in the green I would say that is a very bullish sign. The spring is very tight at this point.
It's always good to have a plan. The company has a crappy past but we shal see if Matt has the abilty to turn this around. I have executed on my plan and now have a sub 3 cent average. Your plan seem to be, spend a lot of time bitching on this board. Not quite sure how you benefit from this but go for it.
A nice 500000 share buy at the ask just went though.
Picked up a few shares today at .023. I could have bought lower the last few days but wanted to see a .02 base set in. The trading is looking good today. Climbing the wall of worry before traders turn giddy.I checked out the CBAI yahoo board and what a freak zone that has turned out to be.
The stock broke through a couple of good suppport levels. Not a good week Locks. The good, the bad and the ugly. I call it the way I see it. Were do see the stock by the end of the week?
Strange trading/volume day. Are we going to see news tomorrow? Maybe I judged Matt a day too soon?
End of the day buying. Hopefully .027 is the pull back bottom.
Not a great day for CBAI today. Matt could have stepped in and given the stock some support. He will tell you he isn't concerned with the day to day stock movement. Unfortunately after yearly declines he has to manage the stock better. Lets see if he understands we are sitting on the .027 support and needs to give investors a reason to buy rather than sell otherwise .027 will be a resistance level. You dropped the ball in the low 3's Matt. You are looking at the stock chart rigth?
Well said. Back to CBAI. Considering the genereal market today, CBAI is doing rather well. The short term up trend is still in place.
Agreed! I have donated good money for many causes such as cancer research but am totally frustrated with lack of research going into the root cause of cancer and its continued increase. Specifically the increase in children. Profits at the risk of polluting our world has too stop! The food chain is falling apart in front of us. The amount of chemically processed food our children eat is insane. The increase in respiratory problems in children is alarming. The main stream big pharma approach to curing the world is so back a$$ward. Unfortunately its easy to market junk to Americans and the political system helps sell the junk. Both Democrats & Republicans. Sorry for the rant but folks need to wake up.
Political talking point and America laps it up. The BS about how horrible it is destroying the very basic building blocks for life and yet its ok to engage in wars around the world that takes men, woman and children. I hope America can advance with the rest of the world before we end up in the dark ages.
One last post Paul. When you look at this post it screams "ohh me oh my, poor little CBAI is getting beat up in the school yard" Apparently some companies are tougher than others. Game on Paul! This is F'n 2012 and CBAI is going to be a great success! Don't roll over on me!
My bad for not adding the "bb". Ahhh the slippery slope you enjoy being on when you post on this message board. By adding the chill to your post, are you saying Matt was working on up-listing CBAI to NASDAQ or AMEX but the chill ruined that? We could go back and forth but its a waste of my time. Paul I am wishing you great success as PR/IR representative for CBAI. When you're on your game in PR, shareholders will benefit. Unfortunately you are wasting your time an energy posting on messages boards. The more you interact with anonymous posters the more you lose credibility. Your responses are going to be picked apart. It's the same 24/7 posters you engage with. The more time you spend here the more I wounder what you're paid to do. I have associates that work in the high tech pr field and know what they accomplish for clients. If you were at this level, the stock would be higher. Realistically at this point there should be more new posters on this message board but its the same 24/7 crowd you react to. Get more fans by having your name on the bottom of CBAI articles. I've invested in a penny stock that got a placement in the Wall Street Journal. Their PR company would never be seen on a message board nor the IR person. In the end I want you, Matt and CBAI to be a great success. At this point there seems to be a skill set missing from CBAI, keeping it from being more than a penny stock. Investors are done with the blame game for the stock being 3 cents after a 100 to one reverse split and issuing more shares. This is 2012 and there is no chill. You have a clean slate moving forward. You and Matt need to prove to shareholders that CBAI is a worthwhile investment and its stock price isn't predicated on what is posted on message boards. Game on Paul/Matt! Is the bottom in for the stock? Make us proud!
Well then Paul you sent me an email that spoke about your expertise in helping companies get onto a better stock exchange. Can you reference any companies you've helped in changing the exchage their stock traded on? At this point has there been any effort to get CBAI off the OTC? If so do you have a time frame
The longer we stay above the .027 mark the better the chart looks. If we get above the .03 and hold I will be a happy camper. The spring seems to be wound pretty tight. A nice finish on a Friday would add to the upward trend.
If the 100 pps predictions were that big a deal why didn't Matt speak out against this? Hell if the pump had worked to any extent then most would have been happy.In reality the stock went down. The reverse split and issuing more shares is what has done the real damage. Many of us thought Matt and his company were going to be something different in penny land but now we are so deep in the penny play book who cares about some old poster talking about 100 pps. Remember all the post about uplisting? Is that as bad as 100 per share? Issuing new free stock options to management after stripping away shares 100 to 1? Is that as bad as a 100 per shares predictions? The past is the past. The chill is gone. So Matt what's your next big move that shareholders will benefit from? Until something changes, Matt runs a penny stock company and thats the reality.
The spring seems to be getting tighter. The spread today looks like MM's are trying to discourage tading. Looking for a major change in the long term stock chart soon. There will always be ups and downs but overall new bases will start forming higher.
I don't buy stocks based on message boards so I didn't follow any pump if there was one. 18 million shares traded was a big day for CBAI but we are not talking about a lot of money at roughly 3 cents per share. If the stock turns up we can easily see high volume days. Rather see high up volune than down or no volume.
I don't believe there was a pump. The stock bounced off lows on good news. The stock hit a tough resistance level and sold off after big gains. The stock is looking for support. I think there are way more eyes on CBAI for a trade and long term investment than last year. IF you think 2012 is going to be better than 2011 then you should be a buyer at this level. The chill sucked but time will help heal the stock price. Sprinkle in some good news and it will be much easier to be higher this year.
We need to break the .027 and hold, then we are off to the races. We didn't hold yesterday and my take on the trading is that the MM's let it fall through .027 even when there was buying. Shaking out more shares. Picking up shares in the .025-.027 range will look good if we push a tad higher. You have to feel the stock chart is about to change. I am a buyer on this trade.
let's get back over .027.
Hang in there. "Need" is not a good investor plan but the CBAI chart trend is changing. Pennies will be bumpy investments but hopefully it will serve your needs.
We have a double bounce off .027 today. Could get interesting.
I don't think conservative investors buy pennies. For the risk investor I think CBAI offers a good risk to reward blend. The float isn't that large and with positive news we will be higher. I feel bad for investors that are down in a big way. If CBAI was your only stock then you are world of pain. 2011 offered a few trading oppotunities as well as a tax write-off against capital gains. Folks seem to be buying up the dilution. Lets change the stock long term chart trend and we can all look like an investor genious. Take your risky gains and put them into safer investments.
I had posted a few weeks back to start averaging your buys below .027 and look for a base around .022. We dipped below the .022 but not for long. I am now looking at the .027 for support. We had a nice trade but now it's the time to look for longer gains. I think today we move up off the morning .027
I agree and bought more today on the pull back.
Obviously the grand opening days turned out to be a lousy time to be buying CBAI. The reverse split and further dilution of the stock sucked the life out of long term holders. Especially those with a ten year plan. I think those that like to play penny stocks have the possibility of a good trade at the current price. Your ten year plan will be a nightmare if Matt decides he needs another reverse split. I have traded my way back from a big loss and have an average share price below 3 cents. I will sell my shares in a heart beat if we get a good bounce. I can't trust a CEO/supposed share-hold majority who hyped and pushed through the dilution we have today be part of any ten year investment plan I have. This is just another penny stock company praying folks hold their shares, hell ten years while they sell more. Less competition for them.
This might end up being window dressing and Matt might have a to kiss a few babies in order to get the vote. He seems to be trying to build a business brick by brick. He mentioned 4th quarter revenues are doing well. I still make my moves based on the penny stock play book but maybe just maybe this company could be more. At .022 per share and 2012 infront of us, I'm willing to buy more shares.
