I have to give you credit, you are very close to working this thing back to your projected $2.70 short cover. You Will probably get there early next week. I guess after 8 years of you investing you know what to say to get the weak knee investors to fold
Looks like ole Marty Bernholz and his cronies are at it again.
you get tired doing simple math...figures
Big difference b/t me and you is that I have never told anyone what to do with their money YET you tell them all the time.
I have been transparent with the board on why I invested but you..... well I don't even think you know where you stand.
I will not be taking this advice, If i did I would be making a horrendous decision for my investment - I always hesitate when being told that I can buy, then dump and then buy back in lower.
"helping the company out" or "slow the shorts" is not our position nor our responsibility.
I think that I will get help when I sell all my shares and buy the next batch of warrants that will expire worthless.
First of all Titan only has 7 employees (and less then a year away from commercialization - put that one together). To your point, in the past they had a board member in good ole Marty Bernholz, manipulating the stock and insider trading with his boys, that was the past and I don't care.
I care about them delivering a robot for their partner, that is it. Until then the shorters are going to work this over for about a month, get over it. Any long knows exactly how this is going to play out, it was started by good ole MB and when he got outed, a bunch of other shorters came in and took over and they will do whatever they do (even though you described it pretty thoroughly in your earlier post) until Design Freeze.
Other then the simple math you demonstrated you can do, you are all over the place. Your post don't help the cause and probably only help motivate the shorters b/c they know that its the retail investor that isn't fully informed on this that are the most likely to get skittish. Hey, maybe not having a clear message is your thing or bouncing around from one set of facts to another, don't know, don't really care.
People could do what they want but I would not even think of doing what you suggested today or what you suggested last week or what you suggested in December. This stock could go at any minute, probably not but it could. Titan is further along then it has ever been in its development of a surgical robotic system.
The only thing I would say is that as the shorters work this, the stock will dip and creep back up, dip and creep back up until design freeze or a really, really big PR. I would say that announcing the WW Supplier making the end effectors would be a big, big PR. Maybe that comes out at the AGM, who knows.
Mcnally has rebuilt an entire surgical robot in less than 2 years, he can reprice the options, I have no problem with it. At least he did the work.
Then why is Kswiss in trouble at $17.50 if it will be sold for $110? You contradict yourself in a span of 5 minutes on 2 different post. something sounds shady to me.
You sure do know alot about manipulating a stock.
the same reason they didn't sell at $1.20 in December and buy back in at 70 cents.
You are naive if you don't think that the shorters will work it everyday they can until design freeze. Why would they take a position and hold when they can short and work it down every day until the AGM. I am not sure why you are asking these questions when you already know the answer. Why do I care if the shorters are working this over right now, I've been in this for the end game of acquisition.
As for institutions buying in to drive it to $6 and then unloading, are you talking instituions like Stratton Oakmont?
You do what you want and invest to drive price up -unless you just like telling "institutions" what they should do but don't follow your own advice. Maybe you can share the seeds to that money tree so the longs can all buy more to prevent the shorters from manipulating this down.
Actually, what you are saying would play right into the hands of the shorters, if they knew longs were investing more to drive PPS up before AGM, they would salivate even more then they are right now.
Nothing can be done to stop the shorters for now but hey, keep harping, not sure who would listen though.
Based off this post, sounds like the shorters will have almost 1 year to have a field day with this stock. I think it is more like one month, up until the AGM but either way, the shorters have complete control right now. If the conf call is just an update and reaffirmation we remain on schedule then the shorters will have a field day until anything significant is announced (design freeze). That is why Design Freeze is so important, it will at least provide big short squeeze at that time. Unfortunately, Design Freeze is slated for June 30 (hopefully sooner) but certainly not before the AGM.
Good bet that if the company just gives an update that they remain on schedule and have enough funds to achieve regulatory submittal on the Thursday Conf call that the shorters will have a field day with this until the AGM on May 23. Obviously if Titan announces anything negative then who knows where the bottom will be but a "remain on schedule" is not going to deter the shorters.
It would be great for them to announce the WW supplier of end effectors or the software partner on the conf call to put a little momentum in the PPS but not counting on it. Unfortunately, the best news us retail investors can get is that they remain on schedule to achieve Design Freeze by end of H1. Anything short of that will open this up to manipulation for almost a month.
Again, one day u value it at $60, the next you have it at $6 Billion, then U tell this guy he’s screwed at $950m.
U have no idea what this will go for. Let me help, Auris is specialized and has no where near the potential of SPORT and Auris went for $5.7B. I think u should sell now for the tax loss and buy back when it hits $1.50.
doubt it....
From my opinion, that is great news about Teleflex today but again, isn't PR enough to stop the shorters. It is ridiculous that Titan's Market Cap today is $67M. TRXC has a market cap of $455M (down from $1B just over 4 months ago - WOW!). The shorters will keep working this down, maybe even to $2.70 (as some have posted on this board). Time is running out for them, They know they have to May 23 (AGM) until anything significant (institutional wise) happens - even though the smart retail investors realize the significance of Teleflex partnertship. It would be nice to see another PR, maybe the WW Global Supplier of end effectors.
I don’t need a tree, I just make sure I don’t take advice like selling in December at $1.20 so I can buy back in in January at 70 cents.
Yes, my mistake, the minimum will be $3.40 as that would be the higher of the two. I do agree with that.
The bare minimum will either be:
A) $3.40 - the price of the offering
Or
B) the 5 day average share price leading up to the AGM
For example the last 5 day average is $3.06, that would be a better price to have the options at then $3.40. So I wouldn’t agree that the bare minimum is $3.40.
If the conf call is just an update and they remain on schedule, then there is nothing to slow shorters over the next month. They would just work it down and then cover on May 23 bc after AGM, it’s only a matter of time before design freeze.
Again, I don’t expect any PRs from company prior to AGM that would propel the share price.
why would it run up? Mgmt will reprice their options at the higher price of either
A) The offering price of $3.40
or
B) The 5 day share price average leading up to AGM
As for the shorters, you think they are just going to roll over - heck you even stated that you needed it to go to $2.70 to cover (lets not forget about your infamous "sell now in December and buy back in at 70 cents in January" prediction").
This is the last chance for all shorters to cover b/t now and AGM and the reason is simple, there will be no pumping of this until after May 23. Even you know are saying that they will partner with a JnJ/Medtronic/Stryker/Karl Storz or any other biggun getting into surgical robotic. IF that is the case then shorters have very little time to cover as a partnership will happen after design freeze.
It is pretty obvious that a partnership will happen, even the longtime naysayers on this board (i.e. Honey and his cohorts) are pumping partnership.
So today is March 24, Honeycomb says it will run quite a bit prior to AGM, I am saying it won't get above $4 prior to AGM (even though it should have a market cap right now of at least $300M - which is roughly $10/share).
This stock is way undervalued and should be trading at $10. They will be partnering, it will probably be JNJ (since they are one of the only WW GLOBAL SUPPLIERS of end effectors - who has YET TO BE NAMED by Titan). We still don't know who their software partner is even though it has been implemented into SPORT (Verb anyone - we know it isn't LIVEDATA anymore). We do know based off one of Titan's previous recordings of the presentation that PLEXUS is making the robot (we do know that PLEXUS is the manufacturer of JNJ's Harmonic platform).
IF and it is a big IF, McNally mentions any of these partners on the conf call then the shorters are toast - this will run on Friday to $6-7/share if he drops any partner name. If it is just an update, talk about the $25M raise, current cash position and remain on course to hit milestones, then shorters will have just under a month to cover. Its really that simple.
Whoever the partner is will be heavily involved in the human clinical trials which means that will get out so it will probably be announced prior. There is a ton of data in the clinical trials that will be used to help market the product and the partner will want to collect that and utilize for commercialization. The partner will want to work closely with Columbia, Stroubourg and Nicholson during these human clinical trials to ensure they go smoother so regulatory clearance is also smooth.
sure they do
absolutely it will. the shorters have 4 days to work this down until Thursday's conf call. Then the PPS will climb back up to over $3, maybe a little more to $3.40. It will then bounce b/t high $3s to high $2s until the AGM. As for brokers calling requesting shares, that has been going on now for over 2 years if not longer. That is not new. everyone who has followed this stock for the last 4 years should not be surprised that this gets manipulated down until the company starts pumping it AND that won't come until after options are repriced, which will be based off the higher of either A: the offer price of $3.40 or B: the 5 day average share price leading up to AGM.
What incentive does mgmt have to pump it b/t now and the AGM? They have never pumped this stock but now some expect them to pump it. Come on, that will not happen and if it does it would be a dramatic shift by the company.
And the way HC did a 180 in a matter of days should concern everyone. They will want to get this down to cover and then buy at the low. They have been feasting on this stock for many years and they are down to their last month, they will squeeze everything they can out of it.
Just take a look at HC statement this past week when he said to mark his words that this stock will rise significantly on Monday and Tuesday this past week YET it dropped - that tells you everything you need to know about that.
The shorters will drive this down sun $3. You of all people should know that
Can’t let the shorts have anymore control. They have just over a month left to cover their positions. Mgmt needs 5 day average prior to May 23 AGM to be around $3.40 to reprice their options. They certainly aren’t going to be pumping this up prior to those 5 days leading up to AGM. Can’t imagine that they would want the stock to run up and have the 5 day average be about $8-10. Get those options repriced below this last offering- say $3.
This stock will swing wildly over the next month - might run up to $4 or run down to $2.50- heck it might do both. Can’t see a big pump from mgmt to bolster this prior to AGM. interesting to see what the shorts do. If they had the guts, they’d exit now and move on.
JNJ/Titan/Verb/Auris
I’d be afraid to hand out w you always wondering when u will try and pick my pocket.
Let's see you said it was going to run up big time, it didn't. Now you say it will close at $3.05 (MARK IT!) and it didn't. Clueless. Man the shorters just can't quite get it down to what they want, can they. Serves them right that they are about to get it right upside the head.
Good ole MB must really have to call in the favors now to work it back. Shorters don't have too much time left.
I highly doubt a mid level person at JnJ would have any clue as to what is going on.
agree, old news and stuff those who have done actual "due diligence" have known for awhile. All this talk about what is going on, someone pulling the string, etc deserves no comment b/c its been known for a long time by those who've done the work and research.
no we aren't.
You are on good ole marty bernholz's team - not mine.
blah, blah, blah, blah.
You are really pumping this thing, right after you tried to walk it down to $2.70. Sounds like good ole MB is in action.
Im going to guess that ole Honeycomb is hoping this runs up next week to mid $4s and will take a large short position at $3.90 hoping that since nothing will happen b/t now and the AGM to cover and make up his loss from the $2.70 position he held.
Im am so sorry, I correct myself, it was 3 days since Honeycomb said Titan was worth $60M and now it is worth $5.9 BILLION. Here is his post on 3/12/2019

Oh no - won’t touch it until 2.75 ! Likely dip my toe in there. GLTY
jealous, that is funny. You are the one that bowed to me.. Funny how you now value Titan at $5.9B up from $200M, let me see, in about 4 days.
Didn't catch quite the $2.70 mark huh. So you sold your shares at $1.20 and now buying back in - loss of over 75% of your share count.
guarantee you will announce that you are in on Titan.
Well you think we are worth less than TRXC - clueless about robotic surgery.
So you are saying that at $34/share it will be sold for the same market cap as TRXC. that is absurd.
Auris went for $5.7 Billion.
You said you needed $2.70 to cover your short. You also told people to sell all their shares and buy back in at 70 cents in January. You also think that the company moved UP design freeze milestone ONLY to move it back later.
Hey if you work hard enough at it, I am sure you can get it back to $2.70, I mean $2.85 next week. If it goes sub $3 like it did last time, it probably would be wise not to get greedy and just cover as soon as it hits sub $3.
So you are saying that Titan moved up Design Freeze SO they can move it back?!?!
That has to be the dumbest thing i've heard.
Design freeze means it’s ready for regulatory submittal. That is big for any product development company (unless your TRXC). As for pps , it’s anyone’s guess. As for investment purposes, it’s a no brainer to invest more at design freeze. That is a major milestone for any company. Look at Medtronic and their robotic platform called Hugo, still no design freeze
