Thanks. I didn't know you followed BCYP. Do you have a position here?
Are you still holding on to shares of MARA? Things are continually looking up for them.
I wish I knew. Everyone seems to have a different theory. They are abnormal trades; that's all I can say with certainty.
Yep.
The only shares traded under .13 were the two trades for 1+ mil shares.
All I know for certain is that if I had an order placed today to buy shares at .12 or even .121, I have a feeling that would never have been filled.
4.4 mil shares now. We were just hovering around 1 mil not long ago. A "big fish" wants shares.
MANIPULATION!
Big buy at .12. Someone wants in. I said a couple days ago it looked like this was being walked down. Not really any huge sales.
It's many places. Even yahoo finance lists it under "key statistics"
Hard to put much faith in a rumor from a forum, but it does make things interesting (and at least it's not a rumor from the scam Sierra). YELP had a great day today; nice earnings report.
If we do get a Yelp settlement it should be a good chunk of change and should put more pressure on LivingSocial and FourSquare. This stock should fly on just one settlement against the big players (LS, FS). we are still sitting at a tiny market cap of $17 million.
I bought more at .14 today. I think I'm done buying. I have much more shares than I originally planned on purchasing. The problem is that this stock has turned into what appears to be a great risk/reward play.
Nice work and post. Thanks for sharing!
Lunch is over. Fasten your seat belts! It's time to reach a new high for today.
Agreed. It almost felt like the price was being walked down. High volume when all said and done.
I picked up more shares as well. I now own much more than I originally anticipated from a month or two ago. But that's due to my growing confidence with BCYP. At this price it is hard to beat the risk/reward, especially for a penny stock.
New SeekingAlpha article just posted. I would provide a link, but I am. About to board a plane
Long overdue for a day like today. About time.
Looking good today! I'm one of those trying to nab a few more shares at .001
It wouldn't work any faster than regular Viagra. That said, many people may prefer it since they wouldn't know better.
It would have slightly better bioavailability.
Small fish BUT this shows other companies may find these patents credible!
This is excellent news.
Something's not right. I'm not what this geologist is basing the value from. Oil hasn't been $50/barrel since around 2009. I believe oil was $90-$100 in March 2013.
Agreed.
I believe when VRNG and MSFT asked for a delay they specifically mentioned they were in settlement discussions. No mention of it with BCYP/LS, but let's hope that's what is happening.
Not really "news" per say, but IMUC was mentioned in a Seeking Alpha article today by Brian Nichols. I think that's partly to explain for today's jump.
Agreed. I understand his point, but it's essentially a moot point if companies are agreeing to a settlement over the patents. As you said, it is an obvious, and arguably silly, point.
Fantastic points as usual!
I see the MARA article is back up to #4 on SA.
Oh, and thanks Spanky!
Nice catch! I usually access Seeking Alpha via their mobile app so I often don't see the article rankings. It was #6 a few minutes ago (late Tuesday evening), but I think it's now dropped off with new articles being posted tonight. Nonetheless this is great publicity. There have been 4 very positive Seeking Alpha articles in July. Seeking Alpha can be a mixed bag, but the coverage on MARA is well deserved.
Why Marathon's Price Could Double this Year
http://m.seekingalpha.com/article/1562092
MARA has one advantage over WDDD in that MARA is bringing in settlements. MARA just announced more settlements this morning.
WDDD is a riskier, almost "one shot" play. Granted we are talking a potentially multi million, maybe billion, dollar win with WDDD.
Don't get me wrong, I like WDDD but MARA is a safer investment and why I feel it will fare well post r/s.
NBS to begin trading on NASDAQ 08/05.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/neostem-begin-trading-nasdaq-stock-114500640.html
It definitely makes you wonder what is happening "behind the scenes."
I was planning on BCYP hitting at least .20-.25 by the Markman, but it appears we may hit that sooner. Maybe even hit a small jackpot with a settlement, or even better, a buyout.
MARA was smart to do the r/s after many of the settlements with the Sampo and Cyberfone patents were announced.
Nice volume at the end of the day (about 500k shares when converted back to pre-split).
Another fantastic day! We have a low floater on hands that is still undervalued. One would imagine it has to pull back a little at some point, but it's not showing any signs of that happening yet.
The hire of Potter is a positive deal. He was part of Osiris when they got FDA approval for a stem cell treatment, so he has the experience of working with the FDA on stem cell therapy.
Same here. I had to manually enter MARAD through Fidelity.
My account has been straightened, but early on they had me with pre-split price at post-split # of shares. So far so good today. Hoping for my 2nd great r/s in 2 weeks. Just did NBS and am up ~30%. NBS did a r/s for same reasons as MARA. Solid companies looking to draw bigger investors.
Fantastic find! Too bad this isn't on Seeking Alpha to reach more readers (I'm not promoting SA, just saying it may be hard to reach MARA investors/potential investors through a "blog").
The VRNG talk should cease, BUT.... The author sums up the VRNG/MARA difference in an easy to understand manner:
"Marathon monetizes Intellectual Property assets. Just like in the oil and gas business there are really two types of players in this market. There are those companies like VirnetX (VHC) and Vringo (VRNG) who have a few cases that could have huge gusher like outcomes, and then there are companies like Marathon Patent Group that have proven intellectual property who are essentially drilling numerous predictable, long lived and more likely to hit smaller wells. Inevitably Marathon too may go after one of those gushers, but if and when they do, they will not be subject to the binary risk of their peers, having already built a strong foundation of both revenues and profits."
Agreed. I only have a small position left in VRNG and I'm tempted to sell that. Slow judge, appeals, GOOG bs about a work around. Hard to believe JJ won't rule in favor of VRNG, but when? And even then, it may not affect share price much until VRNG shows $$ on an earnings release. A nice boost would be if VRNG can get something quickly from the ZTE litigation.
The rs may result in a temporary drop if we have nervous investors. Other than that, the only thing negative about the r/s is the negative connotation of a r/s. We should only rise in price from here. Solid company in such a short time.
Coincidentally, I am in another stock, NBS, that just did a r/s for the same reasons as MARA. A few investors temporarily got nervous about the r/s and the share price dropped about 7% pre split. I snatched shares at that point pre-split and now the stock is up 20+% post r/s AND that r/s just happened last Tuesday!
I feel MARA is currently the safest small cap IP play. It's undervalued, and what other IP play is accomplishing settlements at the rate MARA is? Oh, and you have to feel more confident when you see the big names behind MARA.
Indeed. Almost a million shares today. Volume before price!
http://www.scribd.com/doc/154433040/MARA-Settlement-Notice
Saw this at SA. Looks like settlements over the SAMPO litigation. Documents are from yesterday. More than likely what is fueling the rise in share price/interest.
Very nice!
And that's multiple pre-market trades. Plus one trade was 50k shares to boot!
Volume is over 3 million shares today. Very impressive day.
Looks like this is what happens with the Legacy shareholders dwindling and those left knowing how undervalued MARA is.
I'm very tempted to. Hard to imagine this going any lower with the Markman 5 weeks away.
The problem is I've felt safer lately investing my $ allocated for IP plays into MARA. Debating on picking up more WDDD too if it sticks in the .20s. I could sell off the little I have left with VRNG; just my luck JJ would finally rule or ZTE settles if I sold out.
Marathon Patent Group: An Intellectual Property Stock Ready For The Future
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1552552-marathon-patent-group-an-intellectual-property-stock-ready-for-the-future
Very nice. I'm hoping to see at least .2-.25 by the Markman in late Aug. I'm tempted to buy more shares sub .14.
Yes. Nice volume the past few trading days, especially today.
Fantastic day! I'm slightly hoping it doesn't take off too soon. I would to purchase more in the next month or two.
