I don't know how many times I have heard this from a Penny CEO that they won't do an RS unless it is into strength. The stock price is telling a different story. The investing world seems to have voted on CBAI and it has not been positive. If Matt is holding back on info until shortly before the vote to prove the disbelievers are wrong, then he is not a stand up guy. I asked the questions, do you think we will break .002 or will Matt set us free with the pre-voting CBAI unrealized strength? Matt is going to teach me what?
Sun I have to say Matt needs to get off Facebook and hire a real PR company. The more he talks the more the stock goes down. What do you think Sun, do we break down past .002? I broke some serious rules I have regarding investing and now I am down big time here. The reverse split and authorizing shares really has sucked the life out of CBAi. After such a lengthy stock price decline, it pretty much sums it up where this Facebook pillow talk has gotten us. We based at .004 then the first shoe dropped.
Now we are struggling to stay in the 2's. What's the next shoe to drop. Give it a shot...do we stay above .002 or are are we going lower. If the Mexico deal doesn't work out and we are waiting for the next feather moment, believe me it wont be pretty. No rose colored glasses on today! Vote no and if it makes you feel better let everyone know over on Facebook that you are voting no. Matt if you are ready this board less talk and more action!
Thanks ML, I need to review this. A friend that was a trader for many years spooked me a bit when I ask him about a DTC chill. Not in reference to CBAI so I don't want to sound like I've got info. Just trying to get a better handle on why I am holding so many shares and if I am doing the right thing. Lets review and talk. This issue seems to have come and gone quickly. Maybe it's nothing.
There was a post about CBAI and a DTC chill. Where did that come from and does any one have a reference to this ever being in place. I can't find any reference to this. Thanks
Sun I have to give you credit for your unrelenting support for Matt. I have a very large position in CBAI an plan on seeing this to the end. You and I can't ignore the fact that the stock chart tells a story of Matt's inability to convey a positive spin on reason to hold the stock. Blaming it on 100pps predictions is like putting your head in the sand. The large percentage drop from the .004 base is largely due to the announcement of a reverse split and more importantly issuing more shares with the same vote. The immediate drop post RS announcement had post saying it was emotional trading. The smart money has been getting out for a lone time and the RS and only increased this. You predictions based on L2 have as much impact on the stock as the 100 pps predictions. I want my investment in CBAI to flourish as much as yours. You voting for the RS and issuing more shares is so of course to making money here. If the recent press releases came out before the RS 500 then 100 games we would be in a much better place with the share price. I am wishing the Matt the best with his company and my investment but he does not shine for me at this pint as he just a penny stock player. As I have said before I have been in stocks that used the acquisition business model at shareholders expense and it didn't go well. I am done with giving you a hard time about your L2 predictions because I know it ain't easy and should be avoided on a hourly basis. I noticed through Etrade that is a recent recorded buy of over 7,000,000. shares. It didn't show as insider but there might be a filing for this purchase. I don't have the time today to track it down.
Matt's free option aligned with my my shares bought with my money? If there was an alignment that goes out the window with the RS and issuing more shares. Are you telling me Matt's not going to receive Any more options after a RS? Options in Penny Land usually end up diluting common shareholders because the CEO does not perform. Stop looking out for Matt because he will be taken care of. Watch out for your shares. Vote no
Just a thought.....If Matt needed more shares to run the business I would be better off with additional shares to the current float versus a 100/1 RS and issuing more shares. As in penny land the share price would jump up to handle the selling of the insiders deals that will occur. Just like when CEO and management exercise their options. Mm's have their special relations with corporations. Basically the pump and dump. I stand to make a lot of money being on the right side of the dump. The 100/1 RS and issuing more shares lets special parties make money while we get screwed. There are folks posting that they are seasoned traders here and have your best interest. Please don't fooled. Vote no and lets all make some money
Penny stock companies like having market makers make a market (that's a tongue twister. lol) for their stock. I thinks Matt is making them and their clients very happy. My day will come and not with an RS!
Like I said MrLong, the RS and issuing shares with the same vote is a transfer of potential wealth. I have no doubt special interest is putting the squeeze on Matt so he can unlock the full value of the company but the 6 billion shares has sliced the pie into too many pieces which represents many of us. I was blindsides by this BS and voting no. The RS timing is very strange and much could be released to current shareholder regarding the true company value.
If you believe in conspiracy theories how about putting out negative RS news and drive shares out of the hands of nervous shareholders. The L2 looks like retail buying can't have its day as the shares they buy do nothing for the stock price because they are supplied naked and replaced at lower prices for someone else. The L2 I watch seems to follow this.
I don't like to post conspiracy theories or try and connect the dots regarding a company's business unless I have facts so take this post for what it's worth.
Obviously a RS will make the company a good candidate for a take over and issuing shares allows directing the company value into special interest hands.
Agents point about the intension was to not have a RS and possible use it as a tool has some merit.
I just don't get today's press release. There was nothing new in it. There has been little guidance on how the company is leveraging it's purchases other than Matt said he got a great deal. Free storage? who's leveraging who?
Who thinks the Mexico deal will be sorted out before the RS votes are counted.
I started following CB AI a while back and didn't invest until I thought I had a pretty good handle on the simple stem cell business model of storage as a family insurance policy. As the insurance companies endorsement added backing in this field I started added to my investment. I truly thought the dilution was over. I never thought this was a quick buck and new Matt had tough competition. Acquiring distressed assets from other companies in order to grow market share or profitability is not as easy as one might think. I was very much involved with a high tech company that used my money/shares for this approach and destroyed a good core product because in the end they didn't have enough money to do what they did best. My hopes for CBAI during the growing pains of fighting for storage clients was that Matt would align the company with the research and development side of the growing stem cell medical use. It is hard enough to get info on CBAI relationships in the US, how can I read what will come out of the China Lab relationship? Penny stocks and their foreign relationships make for good press releases but often do little for the bottom line and allow insiders to sell a lot of shares. Some of my big concerns with the stem cell storage model is that the technology is changing rapidly and may hold a future that just doesn't need it. Matt is trying to buy his way into a business model that can easily be recreated by companies with deep pockets unless he's smarter than the folks whos assets he's buying.
Mr Long
As I posted before the RS and issuing shares makes Matt's job much easier at our expense. He is going to have to work a little harder and it may take more time to be profitable. I have patience and the will to hang onto my shares/hard earned money. Together as shareholders we have collective bargaining so don't get BS'd into believing Matt is looking out for your best interest. So he's a poker player and has all the right cards? Well I'm calling his bluff.
Cord Blood America Announces Business Strategies Following Its Recapitalization..........
The 800 lb gorilla in the room is 100/1 rs and issuing more shares. Oh... the new plan is call "recapitalization"
Matt has a chance to put out a PR that broke down a clear path to the reason for the RS and issuing more shares are this time. Unfortunately he would have to change "Recapitalization" to "You're Screwed".
I keep waiting for Matt and his PR buddy Paul to get their act together but they just come across as snake oil salesmen.
I am tired of not having good words to post about CBAI. If this recent press release doesn't wake up investors to vote no then they should stick to mutual funds so they don't have to get involved.
Was that a buy or sell?
So what's your reading on the level 2 trades today? Yesterdays interpretation didn't play out. Seriously, I do like to see what other trader's take is on the level 2 trades. Thx
Very cryptic message. Not sure what you mean by this. If you have Matt's ear, please let him know how much opposition there is to his plan for wiping out shareholder value. Tell him he needs to get management to buy a ton of shares in the open market so they have enough votes to get this passed.
SFM how are you doing with the L2 readings. This post about the current PPS and predictions about $100 per share having some sort of correlation is insane. The cheerleaders are starting to lose their grip. I am voting no and it has nothing to do with anything posted on this board.
Agent I don't have a crystal ball. I feel the company will survive without the RS. The RS and issuing shares makes Matt's job a lot easier but it come at my expense. I would not be surprised if Matt is getting a lot of pressure from special interest regarding the share structure. I would like to post references but I have to go outside of the CBAI forum and that would only get me deleted. I am trying hard to be a good poster. I am voting no from years of experience and the return I expect from the shares I currently own.
I do not think voting no has anything to do with the success of this company. The OTC allows Matt to play games that other exchanges wouldn't. Basically the OTC is his friend which allows him to pull off an RS and issue more shares. Do you really think Matt believes he has a shot at up listing at this point. If folks believe the RS is a last ditch effort to keep the company alive they should sell the stock and move onto other investments. I see post that say "I'm a long term investor voting yes and willing to see how things turn out" Losing shares and pushing back returns is wrong. I've got patience but only when I'm not being robbed.
Give me a break. Small volume at this price. A few MM's drop off the ask to generate excitement. All the L2 home players think they see a trend only to see the MM's fall back on to the ask with the trades going through on the bid which is where they are replacing naked positions. That's why VNDM is on both sides of the trade.
If Matt had 17 million we would be better if he bought CBAI stock in the open market. This would drive the price up and then put out a couple of good press releases pushing the stock even higher. He could use CBAI stock to fund the business at a premium rather than screwing shareholders with an RS. Why doesn't management show support by buying shares with their own money. The cheerleaders keep saying the stock is such a deal at the current price. Just because Matt is buying up distressed assets doesn't mean its a working business model. Hell we might be better off without the Mexico deal and a less leverage company. I am not impresses with Matt at this point after thinking he had the right stuff. Voting no with beaucoup shares.
I agree that MM's wouldn't risk being naked short if Matt had done a btter job and the stock chart had a better trend. As far as interday stock trends the MM's know they can control this stock and it easier for them to make money on the down side rather than taking on inventory and going long. Move the ask up, sell to retail investors naked and then buy back on the bid. Sometimes they lower the bid to make even more money. Matt has got to put news out that show a revenue stream. Voting no so Matt can't screw me.
If the MM's want to control the price they can sell shares naked at the ask and buy them back at the bid. When there is buying interest they don't have to supply actual shares. Matt has made it easy for this stock to get played because he has failed to give investors confidence. It is too easy for MM's to make money selling naked shares to retail investors and then buying them back cheaper at the bid. They are making easy money. It is actually silly to think retail investors sitting at home with their L2 quotes have a clue what's going on with the buying and selling of CBAI. If Matt has done poorly changing the direction of the stock and when it looked like the stock had bottomed, he dropped the 500/1 RS news only to drive it lower. Blame it on death spiral financing or MM's but in the end it is Matt who has abused our investor support. The foolishness of voting yes for the 100/1 Rs and issuing more shares amazes me. I think the facebook voters tally is bogus and there are enough intelligent investors that are voting no. We have already saved everyone from the 500/1 and now we are going to stop the 100/1. Don't let a few cheerleaders take your investment away.
I got the info through Etrade but googled Dumont & Blake and found the info on other sites. It looks like the purchase occured at the end of last year. I justed noticed it today. It may be old news to most. Sorry if I'm being slow.

Any potential CBAI has will be stripped out from current shareholders. If Matt needs money at this point and can't find VC money then he has a problem selling the companies future. I don't think this is the case. Someone is trying to take the cream off the top. I think the company has great potential and voting no. 500/1 to 100/1 is a total BS press release scam. The deals are going to be cut after the RS. Don't let this happen and vote no! It is not about the uplisting. Hang tough everyone and keep your eye on the brass ring.
Well maybe CCEL investors aren't that worried considering their stock is doing fine while CBAI looks pathetic. Obviously CCEL investors aren't dealing with an RS. It has got be getting hard to put a good spin on where we ended up. Voting no as any sane investor would do.
It still looks like vote no is still written into the stock price. Let me know when you think the big run up starts.
Just because a penny stock CEO say after the reverse split we are going to uplist don't believe it. The stock continues to go down. Where are all the smart buyers? I took a look at CBAI on other message boards and I am not seeing a lot of support. If folks get off the couch and vote I don't think Matt has a chance. Matt still has a chance to change my mind but the stock price seems to be voting no for all of us.
Wow, what a big push by the RS supporters today. The volume is pretty low considering even with all the go go post. The stock price is still below .003. I still hold a very large number of shares in CBAI so hoping Matt can pull a rabit out of his hat prior to the vote. Unfortunately my vote contuinues to be no. If the RS goes through then I made a mistake investing in Matt. To many safer stocks have outperformed CBAI as it traded lower for a long period of time. Nearly at the bottom of it's yearly trading range, Matt pulls this 500/1 RS with issuing more shares. Insiders get 10% packages to invest. I don't doubt that Matt is on the hook for more shares if the stock price falls below a set price. I want this company and my investment to work out but not at my expense with an RS. I have had to vote for an RS before and votes no. Voting no was the rigth move then and is the rigth move today. I'll see you at the voting booth.
Not into Blind Faith unless you're talking about the band. Follows us to promise land with a 500/1 RS was the day in and day out chant. Now it's the road to salvation with the 100/1 RS. I am not happy where the stock price is at this point and much of it has stemmed from a lousy RS press release which we haven't recovered from. CBAI cant get its act together on the BB OTC. Why do folks think Matt can do better on another exchange? Vote no RS and hang onto your shares.
I am sure there are big block investors that don't follow IHUB and as a large block no voter I don't really have a need to be part of the "pump the RS team" and it's full proof IHUB tally. We shall see how this turns out.
Leave money on the table? Smart for Matt. What about folks here ready to go along with the 500/1 split saying it was a great deal for shareholders. Ready to give up my money on the table. Now the 100/1 is the greatest deal, ready to sell off my money on the table. The fact the Matt knew the 100/1 RS was going to work and yet he was willing to push through a 500/1 RS split and issuing more shares. I've got a big problem with this and don't like the BS. Oh gee, he's sensitive to shareholders. Come on folks, get a backbone, otherwise Wall Street and insiders will always end up with your money. Still voting no. 100/1 RS and issuing shares, like Matt is now doing me a favor. Not this investor!
Pitman I have been pretty negative on the stock lately but don't have a problem posting that I'm happy seeing CBAI in the green today. Matt still has time to make us all proud. Lets see if it sticks.
Thanks for your candor. I have a big position and very frustrated at this point. If the feather moment came and went then Matt needs to be honest about the RS and more shares issued. I doubt he can do much more damage to the stock.lol
Agent unfortunately you will own very little of Cmex if it comes after the RS. You better buy a chunk of the newly issued shares and pray they dont fall in value. You deserve better Agent and don't understand why you aren't trying to protect what you have. I get the blind faith, feeling in your gut part of investing but when I am starring at a RS with new shares issued, we are way past blind faith. CCEl is up today and we just hit .002. You have got to be praying very hard because Matt does not have your back. Did Matt say CCel is boxed in too?
Agent thank you for posting your thoughts about the lab and Matt. I am more impressed about your time spent at the lad, less so about Matt. I'm in real estate and have to be there for clients 24/7. If showing off the lab made a difference in the stock price, I'm all for it, otherwise his time is better well spent. He needs a better PR team so get him in publications and TV spots. I was involved with a start up company that was a penny stock and guess what...the PR team got them in the Wall Street Journal. Did the company have a better business model? No but the CEO was a true player. He was good at attracting investors. I went to all the shareholder meetings and usually ended up buying more shares the next day. CBAI has a horrible chart that has to do with Matt. Granted today is a bad market day but CBAI never participated in the up trend we have had. If this market gets ugly Matt better get in the game or we will be in trouble. I bet more and more will drop off the glorious reverse split band wagon. Wish Matt gave me something positive to write about here. Many less risky stocks have doubled in money since the market lows. Whats the point of being in a penny stock if the last dignity you have is going to be reversed out. I asked the question who thought the Mexico deal would close before the RS vote. Pretty silent. Matt should fix that raw deal instead of showing of his collection of stainless steel freezers. Come on Matt I know you can fix this.
Ah so true, but unfortunately the sellers have been on the right side of the trade for a long time. Does the last 10 minutes of buy trading represent CBAI lovers or MM's grabbing a few shares to sell tomorrow morning after they push up the ask. Selling to the CBAI lovers who think the good days are finally here. Once again we have a potential trading range which the MM's will use but CBAI investors are hoping for something so great they will miss the opportunity. Too easy for MM's to suck the life out of the stock until Matt shows everyone that this is more than a MM trading vehicle. Remember they can sell naked at the ask and buy back at this bid to make money. Hard for retail investors to read level 2 quotes.
Yep...volume is up... but the price is going down. Great combination.
locks you were very selective of what part of my old post you would draw attention to so I am posting the full version. At the end I stated I would post if I got it wrong which I have been doing. Thanks for keeping me focused.
I picked up over a million shares this am. I haven't been too bullish on the stock as of late until todays PR. The reason I added to my total shares is because the lack of movement in the stock price today even with buying pressure. Pennies on the OTC are a much different animal than bigger companies on larger exchanges. The MM's play such a big part in the stock movement, much more than the usual PR from a penny company. That being said I didn't have to chase the stock up after two important press releases. This is great point to be buying the stock. Matt may be close to having some impact on the stability of the stock price which is rare in penny land. I have been doing this for years and rarely post on message boards. This is the time to be adding trading shares or shares for the long haul. I will certainly come back to this post if I got it wrong but my money is were my mouth is.
