I hear what you are saying. You have a lot of time and pain with this stock. I bought in last year when I thought the selling dilution was over. I worked hard to get my share price average below .004. I thought I was looking good until Matt releases the Rs and issuing shares news. I had emailed him number of times with my concerns regarding the business model. He responded a couple of times then handed me off to Paul the PR guy. That was my first red flag and it didn't take long before I was caught in the RS trap. I am giving this stock a bit longer to see how the vote turns out but believe me when I say my finger is on the sell button. There are too many stock to invest in with much less risk. When folks say they are buying a penny stock for the long haul are just pumpers or clueless about investing and are about to learn a hard lesson. Penny stocks can be a great trading vehicle or a grave yard for the buy and hold. Currently the trade has been sucked out of the stock by Matt. Anyone that's says they are not praying for Matt to turn this stock price around in the near future is full of door door. I am pissed that I have let other stocks I watch have nice % moves while I hold CB AI at a loss. Not willing to play this game much longer.
With all the info and news available to investors it looks like the market has spoken by giving CBAI a .002-.0022 value range. Even those that think the company has a bright future aren't willing to bid up the stock past this range. That being said I think there is a better deal to be made with Matt rather than buying the stock with the risk in front of it. What is the total price on the Mexico deal? Let put together a group of investors and fund this. In return we get a % return on money invested and % of shares issued post reverse split. I would also require one seat on the board of directors. I know we have big supporters of Matt and Cord Blood America here so this is your chance to get out of the retail penny stock investing to join the big league.
I don't understand with all the supporters why has the stock fallen to .002? Wish you were right because I'd be much happier.
What's funny is that the stock price would be better today if Matt had not decided to do a RS and issue more shares. I am better off with all my shares, the perception the CEO is doing right by shareholders and a little positive Market Maker manipulation. We have the exact opposite today and that is why we can't even benefit on a strong market up day like today. I will take my chances with my beaucoup shares on the OTC rather than deal with CEO penny stock play book rhetoric of "I am going to up list the stock and there will be no dilution". The risk in this stock has has gone up tremendously with the RS and issuing shares. The life was sucked out of the stock and it is so apparent in the stock price and lack of volume.
2 Days away from the RS and issuing more shares vote. The stock price pretty much sums it up. Voted noto prevent what we are seeing in the current stock price going forward. No good news offered to help shareholders deal with potential dilution. This just hasn't been a bad hair day for CBAI. It has become a prolonged lack of creditability. I would love to see some news come out over the next couple of days but its not looking to good.
Really Neb? Did you get that from Paul the PR guy or Matt? That would be great!
News would be nice. The stock is laying on the floor dead going into the "special meeting". Not looking too special. Where's all the buying interest I've been reading about. Where's all the smart inside money? Outside of this board, I don't see much interest in the stock. If I picked up 20 million shares @ .0021 which would cost me 42K, do you think it would move the stock at all? I could possible do better for current shareholders than Matt at this point. Vote no weeks ago because I knew we would end up here. Wish things were different with CBAI.
That should read...I think the company was called McKesson. The name spelling is my own based on what I thought she said. I should have gotten their contact info. I was a bit agitated about not being too happy about my investment.
The think the companies name was Mckesson.
I received a phone call weeks ago. I wonder if they are starting with the largest shareholders. I let them go through the pro vote speech which offered little, then I explained why I was voting no. Far better educated explanation for my no vote than I got from the other side. She said she would get back to the company on how I felt. yeah rigth! I would have sold all my shares at .004 if I had know that the RS and issuing shares was coming. Do I think the company has potential? Yes! Unfortunately a lot of companies have potential without the risk that comes with a RS and issuing more shares. The fact that we can't get a rally going into the special shareholder meeting says there's little support for pre RS shares. If Matt has a feather moment to release, he is waiting until after the RS. I'm not in this stock as long as others but I feel their pain and distrust for the CEO. Just wait and see rhetoric has done nothing for my ROI.
Yes it amazes me why so called smart investors just don't see or admit the risk they have in front of them with CBAI. I was a big fan of this stock but the RS and issuing shares changed everything. There are better risk to reward options out there. I was hoping for some sort of support from Matt going into the meeting but he doesn't seem to have anything. In the end he doesn't suffer from the RS and issuing shares. This makes his job much easier at our expense.
You are simply hoping for what you wish to occur. The market has been a better barometer than you. If your share price is as low as you say congrats, but you represent a very tiny percentage of shareholders. Maybe you will have a profitable trade to get out but this is not a long term vote of confidence on the direction of the stock.
The vote of confidence is a resounding no at this point. Once again we have a sell off day. All the L2 buy signal experts will continue to be wrong as most can't really see the trades and two there are no guaranties the stock wont drop like a rock after the reverse split which usually happens in penny land. Matt, as of today has offered nothing that offsets the amount of risk current shareholders face if the RS and issuing shares goes through. The cheerleaders on this board just aren't buying enough stock to offset those wanting to get out. There are a number of stocks that have recently gone through a RS and have been crushed since. The companies had a downward stock chart prior to the RS and still have a declining re-calibrated chart post RS. Oh no...Matt's company is different against all averages because because this penny stock CEO told them so. This is how the market is voting on CBAI and it wont change until Matt mitigates the risk going forward for current shareholders. If the RS goes through you're all out of luck having a say in this company. All the proxy forms will be a formality that you will have little say in. Try stopping the next employee stock option plan that will award key insiders nice packages while you're in a ROI hole of pain.
The question is whether or not Matt is going to make the special meeting special or look at a the investors and say "I screwed up with your money". It was my understanding that any RS would only occur if there was strength in the stock. All the penny stock CEO like to say that. Where does the RS occur? At the stocks weakest point. Since the RS news the stock price has traded down to where we are today. There has be enough time to take the emotional equation out of the stock price. This has not gone well for Matt. It would be nice if he could get the stock price off the floor before the special meeting. How about issuing that feather moment.
I have been to many shareholder meetings. At this point I wouldn't waist my money on a plane ticket to Vegas for this one. Thanks Matt for the ride to bottom.
Well is looks like Mercedes got up a bit earlier than Matt and put out a nice earnings release for the CCEL shareholders. Unfortinately the only hole Matt dug is for current CBAI shareholders. The stock price tells it all.
One thing thats not an assumption is that Matt has driven CBAI stock price down to .002 while CCEL is charging ahead. Whats that I hear...2015 is now the year it all comes together for the long term investors. How many years does it take before the long term investor realizes they bet on the wrong horse. 2015? If Matt doesn't get my ROI going shortly I have to pull my money out because I have missed out on a couple of opportunities with companies that are doing right by their shareholders and it shows up in the stock price. If it will take years for MAtt to make this company shareholder friendly, fine, I'll have plenty of time to buy back in. Donald Trump would fire Matt on apprentice. Sorry Matt if you read this board. Been investing too long to mince words. Hire a real PR company instead of stock promoter. I know the difference and so does Wall Street. Golly geee... I hope I haven't hurt any feelings...not...it's my money invested in CBAI.
I'm not getting any free stock options or a big salary to tide me over during the dilution period which the "long term investors" will continue to deal with years to come. Get your collective heads together and vote nobefore you have to learn about the painful penny stock reverse split. Think you are in a hole now?
I am curious what folks think will happen if the vote goes through or not. If we have a final yes vote do you think the stock price will go up or down. Same question if the final vote is no.
Waiting for what?
Here this Matt, why is CBAI looking to break down below .002 and CCEL going up? Where are all the posters talking about the L2 buying that been going on for weeks. This was a recent post about how market makers work. Unfortunately that's a dream world for the big boards and that really has changes with Wall Street. You have to speak with a Wall Street trader and then you will stop trying to guess who's buying and selling and what price using L2. Some are learning a hard lesson here. The reason we are at .002 is about Matt's decision to do a reverse split and issue more shares. We are caught in a trap at this point, Prey there are more no votes than yes. Oh sure you can hang for years hoping that CBAI will make you money, but with all the stocks out there why take on so much risk here. This exactly why Matt has not been able to attack investors faster than he sells off stock. I am sure he is very shrewed at protecting his company and setting it's shares structure up that it does well and he profits handsomely. The existing shareholders are just not part of this plan. He know exactly how shareholders feel but has offer nothing going into the vote that is a vote of confidence. Wake up the RS and issuing more shares is not his problem. Its ours!
Checking in to see how happy the campers are. I am pleased that folks are getting up to speed on what's in store for them if they vote yes. I received a call from a company representing CBAI that asked if I needed help with the upcoming proxy vote. Obviously this is not a slam dunk for Matt at this point. Get out and vote no to insure the future ROI stays in your control. The stock price speaks volumes of what the market thinks of the RS and issuing shares. The stock price constant decline until it hit .004 tells me insiders knew about this prior to the press release. Retail shareholders have been abused and are being asked to submit to more? We have a chance to be proactive by voting no. If you take a look at the history of reverse splits you will understand the .0021 price we have today is just the beginning of the pain you will feel when the dilution begins. Lets just start with the new employee stock option plan that will occur which will compensate Matt very well post split. His current stock option are under water and worthless so he doesn't care if they disappear with the RS. Agent did a great jog showing the potential damage to existing shareholders after the RS. I am not a basher and hold a large number of shares. Some in my sons college fund and some are in an IRA. I am long term investors but Matt is trying to steal my long term position come April. I got a call trying to influence my vote. They offered nothing that would change an intelligent investor's no vote.
Exactly Steve43, had Matt not pulled this 500/1 and then 100/1 reverse split plus asking for more shares the stock would be doing much better than the .004 we where before the sucker punch. Look at BCON which just went through a reverse split. You don't see a lot of happy investors as the stock falls post reverse split. The smart CBAI investors cut through all the BS and voted no.
Sucker punch comes to mind. Not what you like to feel when you're investing. This is what happens in penny land.
Why is the stock down again today with such a glorious 10k? Because serious investors know that the 800lb gorilla in the room is the 100/1 rs and issuing more shares. Matt will get his stock options back after the RS under the employee stock option plan that will be passed after the RS. Just got through voting no. Voting yes is like pissing away your money and shareholder voting power. To many dreamers with money to burn I guess.
Great! Matt de-leverages the company to the tune of 10 million using shareholder money and then turns around and tries to take away my shares which are the IOU note for what he did. You and I would be better off if we still had 10 million in debt on the balance sheets and no RS and issuing shares. I am beginning to think that folks that are voting yes just don't want to admit they made an investment mistake. Unless you can learn from your mistakes you are destine to do it again as in voting yes. How many here are willing to buy shares for the long haul knowing there could be reverse split and more shares issued? Sure some flippers will buy shares at current prices hoping for a shares increase going into the meeting but the dust has to settle after the RS for any serious money to look at this stock. The deals will be cut with the newly printed shares and the rest of us will be underwater with 99% of our stock gone and potential dilution of that remaining 1% we have. Am I really missing something here?
One more post and I'm done. Hate beating a dead horse and obviously I benefit from new investors buying into the CBAI dream. The PR department headed up by Paul (don't have his last name in front of me) seems to be more of a stock promoter than a true public relations company. I have friends who do PR for companies large and small and have never heard of this guy. How many of you are receiving emails promoting others stock form this guy? Matt has to align himself with a better PR company. Facebook and twitter does not make you a player in this game.
That's the real discussion! We only have maybe profits in front of a Reverse split and issuing shares. I bought into CBAI with a CEO talking about profitability and no dilution. Not to mention I bought in when the selling had dried up and the stock had based below .005. I traded some of my shares until I had quite a large positions and an average price of .0037.
I have a lot of time and money invested here. A lot of folks here have much higher pps and stand to lose a lot of money. The best way they can protect it is to vote no!
Exactly! Focus on how everyone is going to lose big time with the reverse split and issuing shares. Please no more rah rah about how I can read L2 and all the buys. Until investors feel that revenue is making its way to the bottom line and they're not getting screwed with this RS then forget about any major uptrend. The MM's can cover at the bid or lower every time. Until they are buying stock to the upside we are going nowheres. Trade the bounces you bet, but any true long term investors has to be pretty nervous about ROI after the reverse split if it goes through. I see very little support for a RS on other boards other. I was a big cheer leader myself but it has changed. Matt gives me something to hang my hat on I'll be glad to put on the pom poms.
Great to finish in the green but don't get ahead of yourself with your L2 abilities. They will humble the best of retail investors.
Oh Crap! A bigger 1.5 mil covering buy went through at .0021. Me oh my! Why does this keep on happening. CBAI and Matt are golden. Wall Street just isn't fair to us! Maybe if I stick my head in the sand and vote yes everything will be better. This isn't Kansas any more. What if I click my heals together? Where's Toto? If I only had a brain.
Jim Carey for investment advice? You're scaring me.
To bad there's no middle ground vote. Sometimes you have to take a side and go with what you think is rigth. Voting no
I haven't received my proxy. Can someone post the the web link to vote your shares. Thanks
The stock seems to have found a base here. I would have liked to have seen the press release have a better effect on the stock price. I think the RS deal has obviously spooked any buy and hold investors at this time but there could be a nice trade off this base going into the April meeting. Matt's creditability is on the line and wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a rabbit out of his hat. Voting no but maybe I can make some money back on a quick trade.
It looks like CCEL and ACTC are having a great day while CBAI is......well you know how it is. Voting no!
locks it would have been great if the news was released through the Dow Jones Newswires or Reuters but it comes through PR Newswire. If Matt hadn't asked for RS and issuing more shares we would be higher with the new that has come out. We can't make any money because Matt has sucked the life out of the stock. Anyone that is voting yes is a fool. Sorry I'm done with the BS. With all the CCEL bashing look at where the stock price is. Up again today and looking to push through a resistance level. The cheer leading for Matt and the RS is inappropriate and dangerous.
On that note regarding trading, voting yes is like shooting yourself in the foot. I doubt market makers have any interest in keeping CBAI in inventory with a reverse split looming. If you want a positive change in the stock price votenobecause when the reverse split is defeated this stock is going to jump up in a big way. If you are interested in making money vote no otherwise wise go to the casino with your give away money.
Good to know that, IMHO who votes "No" is just a flipper who wants a quick run, flip it and go away
Basically a silly statement for a so called serious investor. Wishing you the best on where you are getting your advice. At what point does one become a long term investor. I you are not constantly evaluating your individual penny stock investments you shouldn't be here. My investment plan for CBAI changed when it became apparent that Matt wants to do a reverse split and issue more shares. I bothers me when I see a poster say that they are considering voting no because their know underwater on recent stock purchases. With all the stocks out there why would you buy shares when you are look at serious dilution after you lose 99% of your shares. Matt has stated that his plan can work without the RS but will take longer. I am fine with that because my ROI will be not be jeopardized. The Reverse split is going to benefit a few but most common shareholders are about to learn a hard lesson if this gets approved. I am voting no because I want to be around as a shareholder to benefit from the growing stem cell industry. My shareholder presence evaporates with the reverse split. Folks need to do research on the history of reverse splits in penny stocks. The chance that this will turn out to be good for current shareholders is very small and chance is for Vegas not investing. Don't make your investment decisions based on penny stock message board posts, including mine.
Agent I don't believe CBAI and Matt are a scam. I sense I would probable like the guy if I ever met him. Unfortunately friends and money don't mix. You could be right about an MM or MM's collecting shares for a client. What makes that hard to believe is that MM's compete against each other and basically don't like each other. I know this because I have friends who work as traders on Wall Street. I would love to believe that the shares have been manipulated down so that someone with that kind of power can collect shares. Exactly when did they start collecting .01 or .004 or .0022? It would be pretty hard to keep a MM'ers buying under wraps from other MM's. When we get on the wrong side of the trade we blame the MM's for working the stock down but when the trade goes up its all about how well the company is doing great. Penny stock price movement has more to do with how Wall Street can fleece retail investors. The guys I know on Wall Street would never touch a penny stock. I thought I could prove them wrong with CBAI unfortunately they have been right. As soon as I admit I'm not the smartest guy in the room, humbled by that admission, I'm a much better investors. I honestly do not believe Matt's desire for an RS and issuing more shares are aligned with current shareholders rights. He has stated without this it will take longer to reach profitable goals. All the goals big or small will be stripped away. Everyone loses the chance to be long term investors when your shares are gone and given to someone else. Have a great weekend all.
Agent riddle me this, The mm's make money on trading the stock they make a market in. Correct? With the stock trend being basically down are they going broke with CBAI? They don't inventory shares hoping that will Matt will do somehting for the share price. Talk to a traders on Wall Street and they will tell you, Wall Street is basically short as retail is long. They have been making money covering the short positions day in and day out with CBAI. The just isn't enough money buying into the stock to worry them. Until the trend is broken we could break .002. Am I happy about this no
Sun, day in and day out you are talking about very small small amount of money actually buying shares. The big blocks have gone through at the bid. The trend remains to the downside because the Mme's don't have to supply shares sold at the ask until they cover at the bid. They are not fight over this stock or anyone apparently. Obviously the Face book crowd or Wall Street have bought into CB AI in a big way in a long time. Someone asked me if I was a long term investor in CB AI. I had shares for the long haul and share to trade. After the proposed RS with authorization to issue more shares they're all became available to trade. There are too many performing companies to invest in. The brass ring has gotten pushed out too far at this point for me not to be worried about my investment here. This was going to be the year and now I see a post that it's 2012 for them. If the company had amazing potential there would be some support in the stock not a long term trend to the bottom. Will there be trading opportunities? You bet, but it will be about stock manipulation rather than company results. At least for the near future. I bet the so called longs have an exit plan. If you want to buy and hold stocks don't do it with pennies because the will break your heart.
