If anyones know if the chill was in place before the registration for reverse split and issuing shares or did that come after. Thanks for the help
Stock activity would end? You mean the stock would be stuck at say 20 cents rather than the .025 where it is today. I'm all for it! If CBAI has done no wrong go after them! Low volume at 20 cents with real investors or high volume dilution at .025. I'll take low volume with real investors. The truth will come out eventually.
OMG! You can't truly believe the long term decline in CBAI has to do with debt payoffs. Are you taking about margin calls? I wish for once the CBAI participated in any of the numerous market rallies. Not one! I'd like to know exactly when the chill went into effect. Was the stock declining before this? The pr about the RS and issuing more shares was the nail in the coffin. The no vote was the right vote. Can anyone explain with facts how shareholder have benefited from the yes vote. The reality will be that there will be more selling pressure due to the tax loss selling season. Too much BS.
Love the car analogy because I've pushed many a car beyond its limits. If I can use your analogy I would add that Matt as a driver, is fortunate to have a built in roll cage and air bags (free options) while his passengers went through the windshield. Fairly graphic? As graphic as a .028 share price.
I've never met Matt but I'm sure he comes across at being a great guy. He has the skills to have folks believe in him with wallets wide open as he goes from one dysfunctional company leader to another. The perception of Matt is amazingly high by some considering the reality of the stock. They will be buying into his frozen food company soon enough. I wish Matt well with his other companies but make good on your promises to shareholders in CBAI. I find it very risky as a shareholder to see company money used to buy foreign companies that are hard to track. I would like to see some growth in my back yard that I can follow right to the bottom line.
It wasn't too long ago when Matt would respond to shareholders email. He seems to be done with the pre-split shareholders. He was so available during the pump period. Wasn't it Matt that said CBAI would grow slower without the reverse split. Now that he got the vote do you feel the growth? He played his penny stock cards right and everyone fell in line. I posted how we were better off as shareholders with out the reverse split but thought Matt was different. I am so lucky that the people I recommended this company to, none bought stock. I was a fool to think this guy was going to be different. During the pump period you were discredited for posting concerns or basically deleted. I'm sure when a large amount of shares are needed to be sold we will get a nebulous pr, the happy campers will post like crazy and Paul will drop in to bring transparency to shareholders or at least to those on IHUB/Yahoo message boards. Those that have hung on this long like myself have no one to blame but ourselves thinking we were going to get rich with CBAI. Penny stocks are not investments but basically gambling. The only card we ended up holding was the joker. Matt you are more than welcome to proves us wrong.
Thanks Karin.
I see that Matt is involved with another start up company FFGG. Interesting is about froze foods. Locks seems to be posting about this soon to be OTC stock. This has gotten too bizarre for me. Will Paul be the IR/PR person for this company also?
Nobody cares about 100k as it will have no effect on the share price. There's a bigger player out there selling a lot more. Start buying in the millions and I'll take notice.
Where's all the pro vote reverse split and issue more shares posters? Where are all the buy on the dip posters? Where are all the posters that knew how to trade CBAI and make money. Where is Matt as the stock falls? The volume is going up and the stock is going down. Horrible combination. This turkey seems to be cooked. Is this the turkey feather moment we've all been waiting for!lol
Matt & Paul how's that up-listing going? Please hire a real public relations company before there is nothing left to the stock!
I thought last weeks big block after the market closed trade was interesting also. That trade was around .045. Now that we are in the 3 cent range that interest has fizzled. Somebody get this stock to move up! I really want to be a believer again.
Let's put it this way. Where does the stock have to be for "stay tune part 3" to go in effect? 3, 2, or 1 cent?
Exactly! Everything else is pure distraction from where the stock price is.
The stock price is the conduit!. That's why the stock fell to a low around .004 before the RS news came out. The hedge funds were not part of that. Why has the stock continued to fall since the actual RS? How long have you been posting "stay tuned" while the stock fell. Matt, Paul and "stayed tune" have been poor conduits. I was wrong too many times posting what I though was the bottom to the stock chart. The stock price has been pretty transparent but too many of us were too blind to see.
Nobody seems to care.....what a train wreck this stock turned out to be. Wish it had been different but I made a big mistake by not getting out as soon as the reverse split and issuing more shares press release came out. Matt and Paul have tried hard to give everyone the impression good things will come to those that wait. Everyone keeps asking for transparency when it's always been there in the stock price. If Matt had an ace up his sleeve he would have used it a long time ago.
Pretty crappy day here. Can't even get a bounce off the PR if you wanted to sell. Been a downward trap for too long. Everyone was so giddy to have Matt address the shareholders. Unfortunately the trend remains in place. Down. Hard to get excited about press releases when they only push the price down. It was gotten to the point that no news is good news for shareholders.
Did anyone else notice there was an after hours trade that went through. 360000 shares at .0452 which would have made CBAI a tad more greener than the .043 finish most saw. Probably nothing but I'll enjoy the high volume and positve share price while I can.
Is there a stem cell index at this point or something close enough to follow stem cell companies in general. Thanks in advance.
Glad we were able to go green today even though not by much. Would have been too depressing if we finished red today. Hope we get positive follow through tomorrow.
I don't know how much the chill effects trading the stock. Most can buy and sell at will. If enough buyers start hitting the ask I'm sure the stock will go up.
Thank you Matt for the statement to shareholders. We could have used it when the stock price was 20 cents, 15 cents and then 10 cents. Was there a reason for the statement at 5 cents? Is the bottom in? Not asking for a lot but hopefully this is the low and we can start a chart base.
Paul I'm glad you're done. You brought this on yourself. You obviously couldn't come up with the "pimp" reference.
"As to Matt, why don't you let him run the company, move us forward, rather than worrying that he didn't sign the e-mail you received"
Folks here know Matt is running the company and I have nothing to do with his progess. I never asked him to sign an email but did let him know I didn't want a response from you.
I hope you will have more time to do your job as IR/PR verses getting involved with this or any other messgage board. I want you to succeed in your involvement with CBAI but as you know respect is earned.
Paul you are on slippery slope with me at this point. I never used the word pimping and then to insinuate I'm a liar speaks to your character. If you're truly doing PR for CBAI I suggest you get off the computer posting here and get to work. I am very familiar with top notch tech pr companies and what they do for their clients. You responded to emails I sent Matt with, wait for the drum beating news and personal involvement with the exchange uplifting of companies. Can up elaborate on your success rate with up-listing companies by listing them. Maybe I am old fashion when it comes to a company's IR and PT departments but I am not happy seeing you post here. Possible you represent the new message board posting business model for IR/PR. You can respond to my post here because its a public forum. I asked that Matt respond to my emails and not you. It's Matt's decision not to respond but I will continue to send him my thoughts as a shareholder. Thank you taking me off your 1% mailing list of other companies you represent. I am not here bashing a company I have no hope in. The train went off the rails for me when the reverse split and issuing more shares was handed to the average investor. I hung onto my shares hoping Matt would turn this int a positive moment for shareholders. My concerns are right there in the share price not to mention the chill and newly issued stock options. Seeing as you are new to this board please review the history of my post as an investor in CBAI. If you decide as IR/PR representative of CBAI to infer that I'm a liar then we have a issue.
You were right to call him directly. Paul shouldn't be posting on this board. I have received an off board post from another poster who has received info on another company from Paul. I don't like off board post as I would prefer to keep it all out in the open. I respect this persons privacy and hope others to come forward if they feel this represent a lack of fiduciary integrity by Paul to CBAI and its investors. If folks don't give 2 shts so be it.
Unfortunately Locks this is total BS and because he couldn't respond to you on this board tells you something. I've lost a lot of money here which I can handle and ride out the storm. What bothers me is I've lost so much respect for how the company is run and the lack of respect by using Paul as IR. I would be right here posting wonderful recommendations for Matt and CBAI if I truly felt that. I would like to know how you keep the faith here. I know many of us who read this board are hoping you are right because we have lost a lot of money. Maybe someday Paul will post something as good as this on CBAI. Apparently he think I need to know about this company. I'm probably doing him a favor by posting this. The truth always get out eventually.

Locks this will be interesting to see if you get a response by Paul on this board. You seem surprised this could happen. At some point you have to take the rose colored sun glasses off. In all my years of investing this is the first time an IR person started sending me info on another company. I let Matt know about this but Paul seems to be his guy.
I have been biting my tongue as I've watched Paul post on this board. This is embarrassing to be kind. The stock broke below 5 cents today but you will here nothing from Matt or Paul regarding the constant decline. I email Matt time to time with my investor concerns but they are only responded to by Paul even when I ask for that to not happen. Once he had my email address he started sending me info on other penny stock companies he works for. I have asked him to stop this. Apparently Matt doesn't care about his IR man pushing other penny stocks. I asked Matt that he hire a true PR company but that's not happening. The company doesn't need the pre RS shareholder anymore. The yes vote basically pushed us to the side. Remember all the hype going into the vote like attracting better investors and up-listing. Ask Paul how's that going because he's the conduit to Matt who can't be bothered to answer that question. CBAI is not a large company. The share price reflects Matt's ability to run a company. Matt didn't invent stem cell storage. He used shareholder money to buy other stem cell storage companies fully or in part while paying himself a nice salary. The stock hit .046 today which tells you what the investment community at large thinks about CBAI which is Matt. After the yes vote he no longer has to be bothered by old shareholders. This is the penny stock game played over and over again and Paul knows exactly his part in it. I have a lot of shares in CBAI and it pains me to have to post a message like this. I wish there was something better to say but the stock price doesn't need me to tell this penny stock story.
Etrade has updated the ownership section for CBAI to show Ironridge's 4.9 million shares. Is this positive or negative for the company and shareholders? I am still on the fence at this point. The trading volume is picking up. The big drop today at the start of trading was on low volume and possibly used to shake out cheap shares. The bulk of the volume is flat trading which interests me.

The only way he can hedge this kind of risk is to have a rich relative who pays off his debt or gambling addiction. Only kidding!
Neb it wasn't too long ago you were presenting your buys pre split as a slame dunk investments. Good to see you realize now that it wasn't an investment but a high risk bet that went wrong. The part about hedging a penny stock cracked me up.
Matt like all penny stock CEO's make statements that they would never do a reverse split unless the company was in good shape. But not to long after they do a reverse split when the stock is weak. We were at roughly .004 before we got screwed. Matt knew about the chill but not shareholders. At least retail. The statements about uplisting and better financing are all from the penny stock play book. Before the vote I posted numerous times about this but unfortunately the yes vote helped keep the penny stock game going here.
tradinguru you obviously are a great trader to overcome the failure of Matt to change the direction of the stock after years of declines. After the RS and issuing shares you seem to be the only CBAI shareholder that is in a good position. You obviously will be losing money if the stock continues fall. If the stock continues to fall I am sure you will continue to trade yourself out of trouble. Let us know when and how to trade CBAI so we can join you in your success. It's apparent we need your quidance to make moeny here because we can't count on Matt. This no longer an investment but a trading vehicle.
The chill seems to have become the scape goat for the share price. If and when this is lifted do folks think the stock is going shoot up? Matt and Paul were so quick to explain the companies great future going into the RS and issuing shares but were are they now? I am sure Matt does not like the direction of the stock but he can't do anything about it. I hate to say this but he looks more and more like a penny stock CEO riding the American dream of scamming folks for as long as they will let him. The no vote was everyones last chance as a shareholder to say enough is enough. The posts that Matt is so credible because he does what he says.....Buying companies with shareholder money is done all the time by CEO's and the history of this business model is full of failure. Spending company money buying other unprofitable companies is right up there with share buy backs to mask upper management option selling.
Everyone with half a brain has to realize they were BS'd into voting yes. It would have been nice to have know about the chill before dropping the RS on us. The stock has fallen to 9 cents and Matt can not put out out any press release to give us support. How about a post RS mission statement explaing how he plans on rewarding shareholders. Wasn't he everyones facebook buddy last year? What happened to all the proad stock buyers pre split and post split. Fewer and fewer posters on any board are still saying they made a smart investment here. It doesn't make a bit of difference to me how many companies Matt buys with shaeholder money if the stock declines. Oh wait we need just one more acquisition before we can enjoy the vacations Matt enjoys. Give me a break. It bothers me Matt can get such little press on the company in any publication. This a what a good PR team does for you but Paul the PR guy spends more time on the other penny stocks he pumping. Locks how low does this stock have to go before you get pissed? Zero?
Some of us voted no. Matts plan of reverse split and issue more shares made life easy for him but F'd up my investment. Finished at 9 cents today. Remember all the hype about uplisting? Matt can't even get the stock to move up never mind uplist. Matt and Paul the PR guy are quite the team. Both of them are getting paid but shareholders are getting screwed.
I agree, outside of a global market meltdown Monday I think we will be looking good next week. The base of .16 is set. Looking to set up .2 as the base next week. If Matt gives us good news next week then we are basing higher.
Not happy where my original shares ended up when I look at the chart. That being said I am big into charting and picked up shares in the 13 cent ranges for technical reasons. I didn't sell on the run up because I like what see in the charts and trading volume. Waited for the pull back yesterday to .16 and bought a nice block. I used this as opportunity to lower my overall average. Nice to see the stock holding above .16 and watching for our new base to stick. This could easily be above .2 in a heartbeat. The black cloud that hung over us is dissipating. If the overall stock trend changes we will do well but you have to be willing to average down so pay days comes quicker. Todays close going into the weekend should be interesting. Matt should open up next week with a great press release and then we are off to the races.
You have to notice the smooth up trading today and the big volume. Doesn't get much better considering it's such a lousy general market day.
Hopefully we are seeing a new base of .16 cents. If we run at the end of the day I'm ok with that also. Nice trading day.
I have not been a big fan ever since the news came out about the reverse split and issuing more shares. Basically my price per share average was .0038 and the stock had based around .004. I'm sitting on a big loss at this point. That being said the bad news is bassically factored into the stock. I have been watching the stock trade at current levels and it apears to be basing even with high volume down days. Someone is willing to step up and buy shares for sale. I have been purchasing blocks of CBAI thinking we are ready to change the stock chart trend. Trying to be proactive with my trading here.
I posted a few times prior to the RS and issuing more shares that Matt had lost comtrol of the stock. I explained how the yes vote was wrong and we wouldn't benefit as shareholders but Matts job would be made much easier by he yes vote. The stock chart reference point is the .004 base that was setting up. I would be fine rigth now with if that was the conversion number. The stock fell after the RS news and fell up the slit day. Has fallen since the RS. The no vote continues to have been the rigth vote. Matt has not been able to sell CBAI at any premium. His ability to convince investors to buy into CBAI continues to suck. I am glad we can trade the stock again but that had nothing to do with Matt. The reason we had to deal with the chill and issuing new shares is because Matt got 80% of the shares to vote yes. He gets no gold stars from me. Lets hope the stock has found a bottom and Matt has learned how to promote a penny stock. Don't count on uplisting because thats part of the penny stock rhetoric. Glad we finished on an up tick today going into the long weekend. We have all lost serious money here. Today we gained back enough to buy the family some hotdogs and burgers. Everyone have a great July 4th weekend.
