bloodpuppy, Playing correctly by averaging has given me profits many times and now i have only profits invested.
And i am holding a large block thinking of buying more...
of course you do not own nor never have made any money trading stocks and gaining positions...
Being innumerate and pessimistic makes it difficult for you.
And the time you waste here also makes for the lost opportunity loss you suffer from...

Thanks to WallStreet...
joelu, i believe OttomanRosendahl before i belive you.
So your statements are wrong in many eyes...
Oh and the pps is moving and the previous month's chart shows much more...
Tic Toc goes the clock during the HIV pandemic.
But joelulu says it doesn't matter... duh?
Please limit Blood's posts to 3 a day.
Already 6 posts before noon on a holiday...
or at least erase the insulting ones.
If you want to read blood's posts go

News Days are now Thursdays
More GREEN days for Calypte ahead even when the market is down 120+ points. Not very encouraging that Calypte is your only green stock today. You must not be holding any stocks that are paying dividends which may be the only stocks of value when the "amero" is introduced... and as the Baby Boomers want out of "growth stocks"...
just my two cents...
Peace, NGP

Roy,Yep!MaybeLikeMicrosoftDidWhenOnOTCtrading;
Maybe they are holding off all the good news, new Financing, China approval, payment by renegers, for one super big PR which they will call the "Christmas Surprise."
Though i believe it will be later than Christmas before those who hold Calypte are rewarded.
OverTheCounterSales!!! Let the people have access and we will see what happens... Isn't it amazing that Arabs and Russians have more freedom than the Americans held hostage by BigBlood interests??
Remember my posts in 2003, Roy?
Remember i claimed back then that Overseas, ie china and Russia and OTC sales would break BigBlood...
Can you see tourists buying these tests for "personal use" and bringing Calypte tests into America? Oh wait internet orders will be happening soon, too.
Tic Toc
Wonder who will use the donated tests?
How will they be distributed?
Come on Bloodpup use your vivid imagination
and give us your Alfred Hitchcock view.
LOL
Reckon there are people who want discretion
and privacy that will use them
or a doctor and poor folks,
mmm?
BashersRdesperatelyTrying&Crying.I'mHavingFunWatchingCalypte
Tic Toc i bought more... go ahead Blooddog call me a bottom feeder... BURP!
When China approves' Shares will be >$1
well over a dollar.
And yes i do realize the luck in 2003 as i stated before.
Says something about having presell or stop losses in place especially before leavin on vacation.
Yes it is risky as it was in 2003.
The possibility is there for Calypte to become a Global provider of HIV tests... The HIV/Aids pandemic is only getting worse by the day. All the excuses and all the ignoring it is coming to an end. Just look at some of the news articles that have been posted here. Go do a search and see more... Governments and activists are finally understanding that everyone needs to be tested. And not everyone wants to go to a doctor to be tested. Over the counter tests will be big sales and sooner than later...
Appears 2007 1st quarter will be the turning point, imho.
Is Calypte risky? Yes so either do not invest or only invest what one can risk to lose. Probably shouldn't invest a million dollars like BloodDog was mentioning...
Do keep a position and an eye on Calypte.
peace, ngp
GoodPostSower.MakesBloodDogLookBias
Actually stupid but i'll use Bias since he works for Big Blood interests.
And $43 for a price share price is probably right in the future...
Some still hold profits from the big rise in 2003...
i will really retire to a bigger life of leisure and travel if your $43 prediction is correct but i'd settle for say $23 a share.
Just who do you know that bought what'd you say a million dollars of Calypte and then just set on it without any trading of those shares?? BloodDog you really do not know how to play stocks, do you? But you are entertaining to some of us that do.
BloodDog is a legend in his own mind.

BEIJING compulsory pre-marital HIV tests Officials in China's worst hit AIDS province plan compulsory pre-marital HIV tests as part of a series of tough measures to stem the spread of the fatal virus, state media has said.
Yunnan province, in the nation's southwestern border region with the opium-producing Golden Triangle, will start implementing the measures from January 1, 2007, the Xinhua news agency reported.
"The year 2007 is crucial in our effort to contain AIDS," Zhang Chang'an, director of the provincial AIDS control office, told Xinhua.
"The province will do anything in its power to live up to its promise of containing the spread of AIDS."
Yunnan, a major transit point for drug trade in the region, is now home to one quarter of China's officially reported HIV cases.
The province had 40,157 HIV sufferers at the end of last year, up sharply from 14,905 two years earlier, according to official statistics.
The new rules also oblige people diagnosed with HIV to immediately tell their spouses or partners.
"If they don't, the local disease control department has the authority to do it for them," Xinhua said, citing the rules.
Hu Jia, a Beijing-based AIDS activist, said he was concerned about the rights implications of the new rules.
"The Yunnan pronvicial government is simply motivated by what makes life easier for itself but it violates people's right of privacy," he said.
"It's hard to tell whether someone has informed his spouse or partner, and using a law to ensure it happens is definitely not the way to go."
He said the Yunnan rules did not appear to conform with national policy.
China's cabinet in February issues its first detailed national policy guidelines on dealing with the AIDS epidemic.
The rules said that those who seek information and testing should be given the services for free and no department must reveal the identities of carriers of the virus nor personal information about them without their permission.
While in some parts of China, authorities seek to rein in AIDS with free clinics and needle exchange centers, in other parts officials' first reaction often seems to be an urge to seal off sufferers from the rest of society.
State press reported late last year that the southern province of Guangdong plans to build at least two special prisons for HIV/AIDS inmates to cope with an increasing number of carriers who are serving jail terms.
The report was widely repeated in foreign media, and the foreign ministry eventually issued a denial, saying it merely hoped to improve facilities for HIV sufferers in existing jails.
No one has a precise idea of the extent of the AIDS threat in China, but it is widely assumed that the official statistics severely underestimate the true size of the disaster.
The recent drastic hikes in HIV cases in Yunnan, and in China as a whole, may partly reflect the fact that official data are now gradually catching up with reality.
China's health ministry has said 183,733 people were confirmed with HIV/AIDS at the end of October, a 27.5 percent rise from the end of last year.
The number of confirmed cases is significantly lower than the estimate of 650,000 put forward jointly by the government and United Nations health agencies in January.
But Wan Yanhai, a prominent AIDS activist, has estimated the true number could even be 10 times higher than 650,000, based on research by an awareness group he heads, the Beijing Aizhixing Institute.
Calypte Announces Donation of its Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 Oral Fluid Rapid Tests
Gifts to Kenya and UAE in Honor of World AIDS Day
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Calypte Biomedical Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CBMC), medical diagnostic tests manufacturer for the detection of antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) for the professional point of care (PRO) and over the counter (OTC) segments of the market announced today that it is donating 10,000 Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 OMT (oral fluid) rapid tests to the Ministry of Health for the Republic of Kenya, and, through its Middle East distributor, Joseph and Gionis, LLC, 5,000 tests to the government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). These donations are in honor of World AIDS Day.
Calypte's Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid tests are approved for sale in both the Republic of Kenya and the UAE, which allows for immediate use of these donated tests.
Professor Jeckoniah Ndinya-Achola, Associate Professor and Consultant Clinical Microbiologist at Kenyatta National Hospital, University of Nairobi noted "under my direct supervision, the Laboratories of the Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Nairobi at Kenyatta National Hospital campus have participated in the evaluation of Calypte's rapid testing device for HIV detection using oral fluid specimens. We have found this device very sensitive and accurate in detecting HIV infection. Besides its ability to detect HIV with the same accuracy as blood based tests, other unique features of this test are its being non-invasive and the relative ease of sample collection. The device is ideal for use by individuals who would like utmost confidentiality and those who would like to be spared the discomfort of blood collection."
Dr. Walid Yousef, vice president of Joseph and Gionis stated, "We have 100,000 of Calypte's Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid OTC tests in transit to Dubai from Calypte's Thailand manufacturing site. Joseph and Gionis and Bin Salem GTE, our UAE representative, are working with the UAE government in their trial of free voluntary HIV testing for government employees. Joseph and Gionis will donate 5,000 test kits for the initial trial program. This begins the official launch of the HIV test kit with the December, 2006 World AIDS Day."
Mr. Roger I. Gale, Calypte's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased to share our Aware(TM) HIV-1/2 oral fluid rapid tests in honor of World AIDS Day as we now have approvals in several key countries where such a non-invasive test can help. The relationships we are building with these donations are important to our efforts. Professor Ndinya is well respected and widely considered a dean in the HIV field, as one of the first to discover HIV in Africa. We also have the utmost respect for the work that Joseph and Gionis is doing in the Middle East. Their support on World Aids Day reflects on their attitude in dealing with this pandemic. We look forward to sales of our products expanding into many additional countries throughout the world in 2007 as we do our part in the fight against HIV/AIDS."

BEIJING (AFP) - A leading Chinese AIDS activist recently detained by police has said the number of people suffering from the disease in China could be 10 times higher than official estimates.
Veteran AIDS activist Wan Yanhai also said Thursday authorities detained him and banned a conference he organized because the government was nervous about being held responsible by sufferers over their infections from public hospitals.
China's health ministry said last week that 183,733 people were confirmed with HIV/AIDS at the end of October, a 27.5 percent rise from the end of last year.
The number of confirmed cases is significantly lower than the estimate of 650,000 put forward jointly by the government and United Nations health agencies in January.
Wan, who was detained for three days over last weekend, estimated the true number could be 10 times higher than 650,000, based on the research done by the awareness group that he heads, the Beijing Aizhixing Institute.
Wan described the HIV/AIDS problem as extremely urgent, with many sufferers unable to access medication and treatment.
"We need to take more positive actions. The government is still asleep (to the problem)," he said.
Police took Wan away on Friday last week and forced him to cancel a five-day forum scheduled to start Sunday that aimed to help educate AIDS sufferers about their legal rights and how to lobby the government.
About 50 people who had contracted HIV from unsafe blood transfusions in China were slated to attend to the forum, which was to be part of activities for World AIDS Day on December 1.
Wan, who was released Monday, said he was probably detained because the government was nervous about facing up to its responsibility regarding the rampant spread of the deadly disease, and of the assembly of a group of sufferers who wanted to fight for compensation.
Apart from thousands who were infected through blood selling in the 1990s, many people across the country had unknowingly caught the disease through blood transfusions in hospitals, said Wan.
"The government has not done the public campaigns that should have been done ... it doesn't want to face this problem, the litigation, being sued and all that," he said.
"Many people passed on the infection to their children and their spouses without knowing ... many never even realized what they died of," Wan said.
"The government has not admitted to this situation and has not made a move to inform people."
Although the Chinese government has initiated many campaigns to fight AIDS in recent years, efforts by non-government organizations such as the Beijing Aizhixing Institute and other smaller AIDS concern groups are still viewed with suspicion.
They are often closely watched by authorities, which crackdown on their activities and harass HIV/AIDS sufferers and activists from time to time.
Wan himself has been detained three times.
In July, Li Xige, a woman from central China who contracted AIDS from a hospital blood transfusion, was detained on suspicion of a serious crime after she asked the health ministry for more compensation.

HIV Testing Plan May Triple New Cases, Swamp Clinics (Update4)
======================
Below we read;
""Chembio today received a U.S. government waiver allowing it to sell one of its two HIV tests to doctors' offices and health care clinics. Chembio already can sell to hospitals and clinical laboratories, the company said in a statement. ""
So maybe Calypte will save major $$$ and get a "waiver".
The potential for over the counter in other countries is also tremendous...
Testing is moving to the front burner for everybody-->WORLDWIDE.
now onto the article;
===============
By John Lauerman
Nov. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Jim Raper and Michael Saag, who run an Alabama AIDS clinic, say their center may soon be overwhelmed by new U.S. guidelines urging that everyone aged 13 to 64 who visits a doctor be tested for HIV.
The recommendation is the first time HIV testing will be performed routinely in the 25-year AIDS epidemic in the U.S. It may triple U.S. diagnoses to 140,000 next year and prevent thousands of HIV infections afterwards, doctors say. The test results may also double life expectancy for infected people unaware they carry the virus.
Without extra money to add doctors, nurses and other staff at HIV clinics like the one in Alabama, which treats low-income and uninsured patients, the plan may hamper quality of care for AIDS patients, says Saag, a doctor and the clinic's director. His center is running a $1.1 million deficit, and he says the guidelines may add more than a 1,000 clients within 18 months, a 75 percent increase.
``We are already at the breaking point, and if you added just 20 percent of new volume to us we wouldn't be able to absorb it,' says Saag, who has worked with HIV patients since his center opened in 1988. ``Our staff is nervous and scared.'
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the added testing in June because it estimates that only two-thirds of 1.1 million Americans with HIV, or the human immunodeficiency virus, get care. That means as many as 300,000 may be sick and not know it, infecting others and letting their own health deteriorate. Saag will join dozens of health professionals meeting with U.S. officials in Washington tomorrow to discuss how to implement the guidelines.
February Push
The CDC will begin promoting its testing suggestions in February during a series of HIV-testing workshops set for high- volume emergency departments and urgent care centers nationwide, says Bernard Branson, a CDC associate director. The agency will then move to hospitals and primary care clinics, he said.
Branson says the financial impact of the guidelines will be minimal and that newly identified infections will rise by only about 50,000 in 2007 from the 40,000 estimated for this year.
Many cases detected by the increased testing won't be advanced enough to require treatment with drugs made by companies such as Gilead Sciences Inc., GlaxoSmithKline Plc and Abbott Laboratories, he says. HIV drug sales in the U.S. in 2005 were led by Glaxo, with $1.5 billion, Gilead, with $847 million, and Abbott, with $420 million in sales of Kaletra and $147 million for Norvir.
``I have a little difficulty with the perception that it's going to create costs,' Branson says. The increase will be gradual, ``not a geometric increase.'
Federal Spending
John Bartlett, a Johns Hopkins University infectious disease expert who organized the meeting, disagrees. He says the testing will add twice as many new cases of the virus that causes AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, as the CDC estimates, bringing the total to 140,000. In such a scenario, U.S. costs alone may increase by $1.5 billion, he said.
In the fiscal year ending last June, federal spending on HIV care, along with state contributions, was about $17.4 billion, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. That figure doesn't include spending by private insurers, says Jennifer Kates, the foundation's HIV policy director, as well as other funds that some states also contribute.
``The saying is pay now and save money later,' says Bartlett. ``The problem is, we don't have the money now.'
Raper, a nurse-practitioner and clinic administrator, says his Alabama center, called The 1917 Clinic, may have to stop taking new patients as a result of the testing. Earlier this month, the clinic released a patient with potassium levels high enough to cause a heart attack, because blood testing results came back after the patient had left, Raper said.
More Errors
More errors may occur as new testing brings hundreds of new patients in, Raper says.
``There's only so long any system can function like this,' he says. ``You can tell by my voice I've had about all I can take. You can't get it all done.'
The Birmingham clinic has a midwife, three nurses, and about 20 part-time doctors treating 1,400 patients a year, 75 percent more than in 1998, with no increase in the $500,000 a year the clinic receives from a federal program dedicated to HIV care, Raper said. The University of Alabama at Birmingham is covering the deficit, he says.
``There are already people calling every day asking for appointments,' he says. ``As I see it, we're going to be limiting access to the clinic.'
Test Makers
Emergency rooms at hospitals may also be hobbled by testing, says Andrew Bern, an emergency doctor at the Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach, Florida.
Emergency departments will need many more of the HIV tests made by Bethlehem, Pennsylvania-based Orasure Technologies Inc., Medford, New York-based Chembio Diagnostics Inc. and others. Chembio today received a U.S. government waiver allowing it to sell one of its two HIV tests to doctors' offices and health care clinics. Chembio already can sell to hospitals and clinical laboratories, the company said in a statement.
While insurance covers some testing, the number of people without coverage is on the rise and hospitals are already facing financial pressures as the government seeks to cut overall health-care costs, Bern says.
``You have to create time for testing, counseling, and follow up to get patients into care,' Bern says. ``Can it tie up an emergency room? Absolutely.'
On a global basis, World Health Organization researchers yesterday said that illness from AIDS and HIV is rising faster than earlier estimates used to project health needs. In 1996, the group said the disease would peak this year at about 1.7 million. That figure was easily surpassed in 2005, when about 2.8 million people died of the disease, according to UNAIDS, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Routine, universal testing for the AIDS virus as recommended by a federal agency will likely cost the United States $900 million, but will pay off in terms of lives and money, experts said on Wednesday.
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor
Wed Nov 29, 4:36 PM ET
They said the federal government will need to allocate more money to programs that pay for treating uninsured HIV patients, and said cities, states and groups that run clinics will have to hire more staff.
Treatment must be available to everyone who is tested, or else much of the incentive to get the test is gone, the researchers told a conference on AIDS testing in Washington.
"We are talking about a little more than $900 million a year," said Dr. David Holtgrave of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
But two experts said their experiences show the effort is worthwhile.
"The data scream that we need to be doing this," said Dr. Michael Saag of the University of Alabama at Birmingham Center for AIDS Research.
In September the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended near-universal testing for the AIDS virus, saying too many people are missed by the current practice of focusing on people who seem to be at high risk.
HIV infects more than 1 million people in the United States and the CDC estimates that 40,000 people become newly infected every year. But many do not know it because at first HIV causes mild symptoms, quietly destroying the immune system over time.
"When we have good therapy that works best when people start early, that is inappropriate," Dr. John Bartlett of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore told a news conference.
The CDC estimates that between 16 million and 22 million HIV tests are conducted in the United States every year. President George W. Bush's 2007 budget request to Congress allocates $70 million for HIV testing.
ALREADY PAYING OFF
Dr. Marsha Martin of the Washington, D.C. HIV/AIDS Administration said the city began a universal testing policy last June that has already paid off.
"We have the highest AIDS rate in the country -- 179 per 100,000 (population)" she said.
"Since June we have screened more than 16,000 individuals," Martin added. Of these, 580 have been positive, giving an infection rate of 3.5 percent -- far above the estimated U.S. national rate of between 0.8 percent and 1.2 percent.
Tests are being given at student clinics at universities, in hospital emergency wards and hospital walk-in clinics, as well as at free clinics across the city, she said.
Saag said at his clinic, people who come in after their immune systems are already damaged -- as measured by a count of immune cells called CD4 T-cells -- die sooner. Just 35 percent to 50 percent live eight years, as opposed to 75 percent of people who seek testing and treatment while their CD4 counts are above 350, a level considered fairly healthy.
Saag said to care for a person whose CD4 count is more than 350, it costs $12,000 a year but it costs $40,000 a year to treat someone whose CD4 count has fallen below 50.
Cocktails of HIV drugs can keep patients from developing AIDS, although there is no cure for the infection.
"They stay healthy. They stay active in society. It's a win-win-win proposition, well worth the investment," said Saag.
Churches, communities and organizations now have to encourage people to get tested, said Phill Wilson, chief executive officer of the Black AIDS Institute.
An estimated 50 percent of all new HIV infections across the United States are in blacks.
"AIDS today is a black disease, plain and simple," Wilson said. "For me, the answer is simple -- marshal black folks."
SHANGHAI(AFP)-The number of recorded HIV/AIDS infections in Shanghai has jumped by well over 70 percent this year compared with 2005, a sharper rise than the rest of China.
Wed Nov 29, 4:49 AM ET
In the first 11 months of this year, the city recorded 621 new cases of HIV/AIDS infections, 74 percent higher than the full year total of 356 new cases during 2005, Xinhua news agency reported Wednesday.
State press reported last week that the number of people confirmed with HIV/AIDS across China at the end of October was 183,733, 27.5 percent higher than at the end of 2005.
The newly recorded cases in Shanghai bring the total number of confirmed infections in China's biggest city to 2,261, Xinhua said Wednesday, quoting the Shanghai municipal health bureau.
Most of the sufferers were aged between 25 and 44 and 80 percent of them were male, it said.
The virus was spread mainly through unprotected sex and shared needles among drug users, it said.
Although the number of confirmed cases in China stood at 183,733, that figure is far lower than the estimate of 650,000 HIV/AIDS sufferers announced in a joint report by the United Nations and the Chinese government in January.
The disparity shows the virus remains grossly under-reported in China. AIDS campaigners say this is partly due to the social stigma attached to the virus, and that the real number of sufferers could be far higher than 650,000.

SellHigh, that's what i've done numerous times in the last several years... Guess you didn't know but i have stated how i made a fortune on a preset sale that i thought would take many years to get but came back from vacation to see a very very large sum of money in the money market account. i spent some of it on the wife and grandchildren but most of the profit i put back into Calypte... been up and out and down and back in several times... i am a trader but always leave a large block on the table.
So unlike you(?) i am playing with profits.
i also see this AIDS Panademic as something i want to be involved in and am in many ways... To me it is the right thing to do and money is only secondary to that.
Some here know i've stated this before,
humbly, NGP
PS do you not know the difference between a news article, research and PRs ?? Doesn't appear you do.
==============
"""not at all newgreen. but these endless pr's and not one mention of calypte.How long have you onwed this pig ? 3 years..4 years? more?"""
MORE! TIC TOC i've also got more time of my own than most... blooddog is paid to be here so he has no time of his own. and that is very sad.
JPetroInc, Thanks for the info, truly sad how many are dead and even saddier are the walking "make love" dead passing on the deadliest virus ever seen... Seems govt's do not want to test folks but it is the only way to get a grip on the Pandemic.
sellhigh,U stoned? I posted a news article.
Guess you just want to shut down conversation
like blooddog's ironic posts.
BEIJING (AFP) - A non-government forum on AIDS and the legal rights of AIDS victims was cancelled in Beijing, days after well-known Chinese activist Wan Yanhai was taken away by police, organizers said.
ADVERTISEMENT
The "Blood Safety, AIDS and Legal Human Rights Workshop" was cancelled after Wan was taken into custody Friday by four policemen who burst into the Beijing headquarters of the AIDS Action Project, spokeswoman Wang Lixuan told AFP.
The Sunday workshop was to be attended by about 50 people who had contracted AIDS or the HIV virus that causes AIDS from unsafe blood transfusions, often administered by local government-related medical institutions, she said.
Before being taken away, and while in the presence of Beijing police, Wan ordered the workshop, part of activities commemorating the December 1 World AIDS Day, to be cancelled.
His whereabouts were not known, Wang said. Beijing police had refused to confirm or deny Wan was in their custody, she added.
Although the majority of China's estimated 800,000 HIV carriers are believed to be linked to high risk groups such as intravenous drug users and sex workers, an increasing number have contracted the disease through tainted blood.
In the late 1990s, several villages in central China's Henan province were devastated by AIDS after locals got the disease through government-backed blood drives.
The AIDS Action Group has sought to assist such victims, despite a series of obstacles put up by the local and central governments.
Wan spent nearly a month in jail in 2002 after being accused of sending official documents abroad linked to the Henan AIDS scandal.
He was sacked from his post in Beijing's public health bureau in 1994 after being rebuked for his fight against the epidemic and for supporting equal rights for homosexuals.
China's health ministry said Wednesday 183,733 people were confirmed with HIV/AIDS at the end of October, reportedly a 27.5 percent rise from the end of last year.
Yes Ottoman.
And a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to you.

Thanks for posting. NGP
cato, you ask; ""Well if Tim didn't give you any information that is not already public, then why do I need to call him?""
'cause it appears that you are bloodhound's (hump your leg dog) helper, so shake him off your leg and become part of the knowing public...
and they say there are not any silly questions LOL.
Tic Toc you do seem to hear the clock and the count down...
Bloodhound/reads is a Liar!
He promised to leave if his lover TonyC would leave Calypte and he has promised to shut up and leave several other times only to lie and twist and prove he is a fool for big blood interests.
""Tell you what giotennis you get honest answers to the 5 simple questions above from Calypte, identify the person answering the questions, and post the answers here and I will leave.""
""So, if you have non public answers to bloodhounds questions, why don't you post them and shut him up with all your insider information.""
Cato, First, it is not non public info or insider info. Second i don't want blood hound to leave as he promised and miss the party that he will not be a part of.
So call Tim and get the answers yourself.

Come on Giotennis Do you really think that the company would honestly reply to my questions.
Lets see.
1. Who were the BVI and Panamanian investors who reneged on 2.5 million of the 3 million subscription agreement? Who obtained and vetted these investors?
2. Why have there been zero sales of product announced in every approved country except U.A.E.? What happened to their great distribution system?
3. Have the two search firms found any new cash?
4. Why did Dr. George and Richard Van Maanen resign and why couldn't Roger Gale find any qualified person to take the CEO job?
5. Why have officers and directors of Calypte refused to spend any of their own money to buy Calypte stock?
Tell you what giotennis you get honest answers to the 5 simple questions above from Calypte, identify the person answering the questions, and post the answers here and I will leave.
Gee you don't supposed that the lies of Calypte management, the failed business results, the once again running out of cash, the AMEX delisting, and the stock price of $ .10 might have had a much bigger influence on running off Calypte investors and their posting here than the truthful posting of the old bloodhound, do you? I sure do.
