That is why I will take my chances on the OTC and its games versus a RS.
Pick M Low I hear what you are saying. It really bothers me that I find myself posting negative comments about Matt and CBAI. I still have a large position here. I am a better investor by admitting my mistakes. If something good comes out of this investment I will be first to admit I was wrong. Pit had a better handle on the prospects of this company and took a lot of flack for being right. I have not posted as much of what I could about Matts business model just for the fact I own too many shares. To be happy about CBAI when it just printed .0024 is stupid at best.
Too big to fail in the banking industry is getting worst. Is Matt going to get a bailout if his buying distressed stem cell asset business model doesn't work? Oh wait yes! 500/1 reverse split and then sell more shares. He will be fine like the fat cat bankers. Common shareholders not so fine.
Where are all the buyers for CBAI? Are we going to print .oo25 today? We sell of on the RS news and some gloat about their CBAI cheap purchases. Here we are again and I'm looking for the bold post about their great purchases. Don't focus on the banks when you should focus CBAI.
Who thinks the Mexico deal will actually occur before the RS vote?
Sorry there should be a vertical break between the bid MMs and the ask MMs. They should fall under the .0026 and .0027 columns.

I show 4 MMs on ask and bid.
And what do you read from this? Take a crack at VNDM 52k on the ask.
Good post diannedawn. This oh poor Matt and the abuse CBAI is getting from the MM'S and the OTC exchange has to stop. He may be a great poker buddy but as a CEO he is losing investors faith as shown in the stock price. The stock market is up again today and we trade lower.
Explain to me why CCEL becomes a pinkie and retains its share price while CBAI goes lower where it is. Matt and CBAI haven't impressed me with their performance. This is all going to change because we need to be on a better exchange? BS. Folks have to get their heads out of the sand and vote no for this RS and option to sell more shares.
Been skiing for the last two days. Getting back up to speed with CBAI. Looks like everyone one is still trying to connect the fuzzy dots. Reading the tea leaves. Look at the stock price and your investment! Matt I just don't feel your shareholder love. The chart has been a trending down for a long time. CBAI is always a delay for one reason or another. The big deal that would change everything, that special feather moment seem to get pushed down the road which adds to the overall trend in the stock. Down!. Asking for an RS with authorization to dilute turns out to be the big feather moment. To bad it's a turkey feather for common shareholders. Big sell blocks going through today. I thought the cheerleader had a handle on this Friday being pay day. CCEL stock still doing better than CBAI.
Unfortunately you will actually be selling if the RS goes through. To bad the shares you owned will be sold to someone else and they are not going to give you any money. This is the big picture and don't understand why so many ignore this and continue to rant about great shareholder potential when it is going in the other direction.
To say your are tired with CBAI being manipulated by the exchange it resides on is misplaced. Matt hasn't been able create a positive spin great enough to over come the dilution. I can short stocks above a dollar a share. What is keeping me from doing this to CBAI on NASDAQ or AMEX. A CEO who has control over their stock is a performing CEO. Manipulation on the OTC goes both ways and investors can make large amounts of money on the trades. Matt has not created the buy and hold desire. I was a big fan here after the dilution was done and felt the price had bottomed combined with news coming out and its potential. The RS announcement has put me on the wrong side of this trade both short term and long. My investments are not a shot in the dark but full involvement. I have a lot of experience with start up companies, reverse splits, company options plans, shadow investors and the OTC. If folks truly believe Matt is an amazing CEO and the company is on the verge of profitability then the RS with option to expande shares represents a transfer of wealth. I don't want to bad mouth Matt or the business model. I know exactly how hard it is to compete in business and how easy it is to lose the golden egg right before it hatches. Voting no for the reverse split will not ruin the company if it has potential. The 6 billion shares are an asset not a liability. They are a liability to shadow investors who want control of the stock or company wealth.
I am a strategic investor with a large position in CBAI. Voting no for the reverse slit.
Apparently the streets perception of Matts 6 billion share company is .003. This hidden value in the discarded stem cells we are purchasing needs special glasses to see. Is starting fresh with 1 billion shares going to change Matts performance in moving the stock higher? All I hear is give him more shot. He always seems to be one quarter away from greatness. I bought share post dilution based on my research in stem cells. I have a low price per shares average but that edge is being wipes out with the RS. I should have followed Matts ability to bring value to shareholders through stock price appreciation. He may be a great poker buddy but he has lost Wall Street cred. We are better off with 6 billion shares combined with MM's pump and dumps scams to make money. Every dog has its day. I like my 6 billion share dog. Can you feel my pain Matt?
Yesterday the drums were beating hard for the RS and someone mentioned a short squeeze. Where's all the hype today. The stock is selling off without the pump?
The big picture is that CBAI stock price is at a 2 year low. The RS new took it down briefly to a 3 year low. Not all otc stock have a such dismal stock return. Just because the CEO mentions an uplist after the RS doesn't mean it will happen. The concept that stocks aren't shorted on other exchanges is insane. Many have gotten burned on the AMEX with small Canadian gold mine stocks. Matt focusing on his dream is not aligned with my dream of making money on my investment and that started with the 500:1 RS. If Matt had the goods he would be able to put together investors to help as a start up. I have been involved with companies where the CEO got a % of the investment money he attracked to the company. Great incentive for the CEO to do well for the company and shareholders don't get burned. He has not show me that he is a player as a start up CEO. The RS is what all the poor performing CEO do. Then number of dilition stories due to an RS outway the few that went well.
I am keeing it simple. If the company is now a diamond in the rough then the reverse split represents a transfer of wealth. We will also be losing any voter control we might have had. After the split the residual shares will disappear quickly. I am sure we will be asked to vote on a stock potion plan for management soon enough. I don't mind Matt getting his slice of the pie but I don't like folks eating my lunch. Vote NO for the RS because I think this is the last time small shareholders will have a say in how the company opperates. Let the insiders buy up interest in the company the same way we had to. The symbol is CBAI. At .003 they are getting a good price unless all the hype going into the RS is bogus. Vote No!
MrLong I am not a poker player myself. Your aproach to investing will serve you well. I have enjoyed your post for and against CBAI. If the news hads been good we would be higher than .004. The cat is out of the bag. The bounce off the RS news day has to do with MM's making money. Lets see how much inventory they are willing to sit on.
Great Locks! When either you or Matt fills me on in on the connected dots I'll be ready to do some voting.
I have been trying to figure out Matt's angle on doing a RS at this time. Doing a RS without asking for an increase in shares is not great but we all feel the pain. Voting for a RS and an increase in shares at the same time creates the problem for current shareholders.
Is current controlling interest in CBAI stock not the way management or potentail partners would like it to be? If this vote is close then current shareholders still have a voice. If the reverse split goes through with the printing of new shares then those with the newly printed shares will soon have the final vote going forward.
Show me where the new shares are going and will they be avaiable for sale before the feather moment is released to me.
The point of buying penny stock is the leverage they offer when the stock moves up. The whole point is the chance of getting in on the ground floor. That's why you take on the risk with pennies.
You can't blame the stock price forever on the OTC exchange. Putting a good spin on the RS because of this is bogus.
If there's big feather moment waiting in the wings, I want to be part of it and will take my chances on the OTC with 6 billion shares. Vote yes and it will be a transfer of wealth.
If the company is broke I will feel the pain with all shareholders and vote for the RS. Then I want a seperate vote for any share increase and application for shares.
I will be voting no for the current RS package.
neck you really scare me with this post. 60 million sold at what price. It will be obvious that any big deals will not done in the open market. When the good PR comes out the folks that got the 60mil shares will be selling. The pump then the dump. You will never be on the right side of this trade. ML honesty about perceived value and real value is a breath of fresh air for this kind of forum. We are all fortunate that he post here. I am not a basher here trying to get cheap shares considering my older post were very upbeat about my investment in cbai. Any information about this company street legal or insider has put the stock price at .004 prior to the RS announcement. If you really want to be in the CBAI penny game lets get a group of investors and put a pool of 10 million dollars and cut our own deal. If you think I'm kidding I almost went that route with another company. Let me make it clear the inside investors are looking to make money in a short period of time and are compemsated for a % drop in the share price as well possibility of interet on loan money. Neck pray that if we end up with a very small share float that Matt will pump up the price before dilution. Every penny stock CEO doing a RS presents this as good and some folks seem to believe it. Everyone wants to stay positive but once you understand what is about to happen or been through it your take on this will change. Sorry for the long post and wasn't trying to single you out. Always post what you believe in.
You feel good about this? Matt talked about a feather moment while planning a huge RS. He couldn't put together the video earlier so investors could get their head around this? He is better at selling his so called small penny stock investors than any company potential. If there were deals to be cut that had dollar $ attached there would be strategic investors lining up. If the deals are real you would benefited way more from great press releases and your penny stock. That's the reason you own a penny stock. But no... after taking about a great moment for shareholders Matt is stripping away your share leveraqe and possible handing it over to strategic investors. Do you think we will uplist any time soon. The reverse will occur on the OTC.bb and try to hang onto your converted price. Like I said Matt, Wall Street and the strategic investors or not aligned with us. Way too bogus to tell us he now needs our support for a killer RS in order to give us a feather moment. Talking about Matts body lanquage in the video is a joke. This was a PR nightmare and handled poorly in the worst way. I have a very large block of CBAI and would have sold if Matt had told me about the RS along with the feather moment. To many good CEO's and their company to get played here. Lost too much money on blind faith investments. We were just played and voting no for the RS.
Lets see what the close is today. How many bottom fishers keep their shares through the weekend.
Matt could have put out the youtube video yesterday with the rest of the garbage. In the interview he metions how important his small penny stock investors are. BS Maybe less would have sold if the video came out yesterday. He is good in front of the camera but its only youtube.
Are you implying the RS PR is bogus. Giving insiders the opportunity to grab discounted shares. Illegal and you should run from a CEO that runs a company like that. Personally I think he is out of money and can't sell large enough investors to buy into the company. The general stock market has been doing very well and CBAI should have participated to some degree. It appears that CCEl was a safer bet. Talk is cheap and Matt didn't say anything in the youtube that I haven't heard before from a penny stock CEO. They all put a positive spin on the RS otherwise they are out of job.
They are free options. His has little skin in the game besides his salary at the moment. You can't compare Matt to yourself. Compare him to all the shareholders that have lost skin in the game. Those are big numbers. You don't think his options wont be replaced after the RS. He will be taken care of.
Had it been a great time to buy where are all the insider buys? They have not put their money where the mouth is. I would rather see that then peddling the RS like snake oil.
The fact that the Matt has to pedle the RS bothers me as much as the split itself. The guy couldn't put out a positive PR feed into any worthwhile media. Too much like snake oil. Credited investors waiting on the sidelines until the RS gollie gee. Way to sell the company Matt. So the insiders will benefit from our missery. Wall Street, MAtt and the so called credited investors always get to keep your money. Pennyland lives in the heart of Vegas like Matts company. Watch as the MM's grab shares today then folks will show up to promote the stock. Could be a good quick trade but not an investment.
If Matt is going to cut my shares 500 to one for the glowing future this company has then I want at least warrents that can be traded on an exchange. I want a poison pill that benefits me as an investors. The warrents can be converted into common shares. Maybe the lower shares count makes the company easier to sell but only if Matt creates shareholder value which is going in the wrong direction.
I thought the company had a cool business model but worried that it could replicated with money more so than talent. The actual storage of Cord Blood is not rocket science. The whole insurance policy model could be great when your the top dog which Matt implied we were on our way. Being a trader in discarded stem cells seems great if Matt has a money making applications. TJMAx does a great job of buying close out garments and resells them in their stores. They are players in the retail sector. The longer we hold onto frozen assets without a return scares me. The stem cell technology is changing every day and frozen cells may be obsolete before Matt can capitalize on the investment.
What is he going to buy next that benefits me as a shareholder. Matt will always get payed before you and I. Buying what others sell doesn't make Matt a business guru.
The feather moment is when I get paid for the amount of risk I have taken on buying CBAI shares.
Thats right, it looks like there is no oraganic growth. An RS then issuing more shares allows Matt to keep his salary. He never had enough in the game share wise for a RS to bother him. After the RS he will be getting stock options. Wall street underwriters love a good old RS and then issuing shares because they make money on it. He is in the penny game rather than creating shareholder value. Unfortunately I now cringe at the thought of how folks are going to look at CBAI for storing their babies cord blood. The stock is cash for start up companies but when they can't encrease the share price they have to go back to the well. It has nothing to do with the amount of share. There are successful companies with 6 billion shares. I am done ranting about Matt. He still has time to make us shareholders proud.
ML not trying to get too angry about the RS but I am p'd off. This is not good for shareholders no matter how folks spin it. The idea that Matt did this to drive the stock down so he could buy back cheaper shares. If the SEC didn't get him I would take him to court. If Matt could show the company had a bright future he could raise VC money at favorable terms. The man could not bring enough money down to the bottom line or show a future with earnings. This is what happen when shareholders try to connect fuzzy dots as if we where the smartest guys in the room. I traded emails with Matt a while back trying to get a handle on the business model and voiced my concerns. I was eventually handed off to this PR guy Paul. Well one of my concerns just happened today. I hope for all the shareholders Matt pulls a rabit out of his hat. I will not be voting for the reverse split but unfortunately they always go through.
I truly hope Matt can put a good spin on a potential RS. The fact that he couldn't attract investors with 6 billion shares has a lot more to do with him than the number of shares. If there ever was a feather moment we would have seen some share price support. Did Matt sell the 26 million shares He filed. If common shareholders are going to get a haircut is management. I don't know if they have outstanding options but are they going to restructures. Do you feel my pain Matt? Worthwhile RS are done into strength. Going into a RS at .004 is garbage unless Matt show us a better path. If you look at stem cell storage as an insurance policy this is a PR nightmare. I want to store with a AAA company not a penny stock that doing an RS. If I can't trust my investment in Cord Blood America do you think I'm trusting my kids health future. Believe me if I was a competing company I would use this news to my advantage. Do you think Matt is going to Tweet this news and post it on Facebook. CCEL shareholders are laughing at this crap. I hold a large number of shares in CBAI so it pains me to rant but I've been through this before with another company. This is why they are penny stocks because management are just not players. Wall Street never bought into this company and Matt hides behind a crappy one man PR company.
Any thoughts on why CCEL stock is holding up so well considering most feel their future in now in CBAI hands. The 2 dollars per share is holding up well. Is a buyout price reflected in the stock?
This is an amazing video. Talk about the use of stem cells here and now.

Thought I would stop in and see how the CBAI gang is doing. A lot of great research has been done here. Holding a big chunk of this stock but continue to trade about million shares. The reason I trade is that although the future looks good for this company it hasn't formed a trend line that supports this. Just because we own stock in this company doesn't mean we are the smartest men or women in the room. I've learned that hard lesson. I appreciate ML 100 per share prediction but unless Wall Street is behind it, you are out of luck. If there was a remote chance of this kind of financial future you would see a different share price at this point not to mention insider buying. Matt obvious has a dream and a lot of energy but needs to find a better PR company. CBAI needs a better press presence. We are on the social networks but believe me I receive far more tweets from other cord blood/stem cell companies. I know a great PR company that Matt should work with. Would you like to see CBAI in the Wall Street journal? I don't see the CCEl insider running for the doors which makes me wonder about the Mexico deal or actual upside. I don't love hanging onto penny stocks that don't perform because when I get stubborn with pennies it usually cost me. The woman that is the spokeswoman for CBAI and stem cells seems like a wonderful person but not a great speaker. If she says "uuummmmm" between every sentence it loses its impact. Take a looks at other web sites and their promotional package in the cell area. Please don't take this post as bashing. Just an investor that keeps the rose colored glasses off. For the folks that follow charts I picked up SMEV on the high volume drop and it bounced back nicely. If it breaks .004 we could have a a new trend line. Still hopeful that CBAI will make me some serious money.
The stem cell wave is coming. Grab your board!

Its good to see companies wanting to be part of the stem cell storage biz! Money is flowing into this sector.

I just picked up 6.5mil shares at .0002. I figure I can get a bounce in 2011. I like my odds with CMGR. Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year.
