Anyway, the S3 just went effective so we might be hearing REAL news soon.
I don't even see that as a group in FB. Not really an expert at navigating FB, but it doesn't show up under closed groups or all groups.
I honestly didn't think posts were capable of moving this stock, but today I saw otherwise.
esusun posted at 11:02 a.m. when $PMCB buy/sell was 175,115 / 85,856.
By close $PMCB buy/sell was 277,832 / 968,246.
I have searched FB and can't find the alleged comments.
Anyone?
Lynn Tilton, CEO of Patriach Partners. SEC's case against Lynn Tilton dismissed
18 Hours Ago | 00:52
The Securities and Exchange Commission's fraud case against investor Lynn Tilton was dismissed, CNBC has confirmed.
Tilton has been fighting a two-year-old SEC administrative case that accused her of misleading investors about the value of loan pools, and collecting $200 million in extra management fees. Tilton's firm, Patriarch Partners, invested in distressed private equity assets, including loans. The case concerned $2.5 billion of loan pools.
The SEC's enforcement division had no comment for CNBC on Wednesday, after the decision by an administrative law judge to dismiss the case. In the decision, the judge said the violations the SEC alleged were "unproven."
"She's been totally vindicated," said Tilton's lawyer, Randy Mastro of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. "Her reputation has been restored and justice has been done."
There was a hearing last November in the proceeding, but Tilton has been fighting the SEC's internal process as unfair to defendants. She took her arguments to the U.S. Supreme Court, trying to get her case moved to federal court, but the high court denied her petition in May.
In a statement Wednesday, Tilton said, "I am heartened to finally be able to put to rest the rumors and innuendo that have cast a dark shadow on me and my business for so long. Throughout this ordeal, I have worked hard to ensure that my focus on my companies did not waver; without this meritless lawsuit hanging over our heads, however, we can now redouble our efforts to lead the portfolio companies toward growth and prosperity."

SEC's new Cyber Unit
"The Cyber Unit will focus the Enforcement Division’s substantial cyber-related expertise on targeting cyber-related misconduct, such as:
Market manipulation schemes involving false information spread through electronic and social media
Hacking to obtain material nonpublic information
Violations involving distributed ledger technology and initial coin offerings
Misconduct perpetrated using the dark web
Intrusions into retail brokerage accounts
Cyber-related threats to trading platforms and other critical market infrastructure
The unit, which has been in the planning stages for months, complements the Chairman’s initiatives to implement an internal cybersecurity risk profile and create a cybersecurity working group to coordinate information sharing, risk monitoring, and incident response efforts throughout the agency.
“Cyber-related threats and misconduct are among the greatest risks facing investors and the securities industry,” said Stephanie Avakian, Co-Director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division. “The Cyber Unit will enhance our ability to detect and investigate cyber threats through increasing expertise in an area of critical national importance.”
Over the past several years, the Enforcement Division has developed substantial expertise in the detection and pursuit of fraudulent conduct in an increasingly technological and data-driven landscape. The Cyber Unit will consolidate and advance these efforts, and include staff from across the Enforcement Division.
Robert A. Cohen has been appointed Chief of the Cyber Unit. Since 2015, he and Joseph Sansone have been Co-Chiefs of the Market Abuse Unit. Mr. Sansone will continue to lead the Market Abuse Unit as its Chief."

$OTIC has a book value of $4.96 per share according to BarChart:
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/OTIC/profile
See the Company Profile page, and the box on the right with "OTIC Ratios".
While I've only ever heard of a handful of companies that closed operations and distributed cash to shareholders, this situation does mean that OTIC is undervalued as it's closing price yesterday was $3.35.
On OTIPRIO for Acute otitis externa, $OTIC had a successful Phase 3 in Jan of 2017. PDUFA date for sNDA filing is March 2, 2018.
So, in Q1 2018 IF OTIPRIO is approved, $OTIC should see a nice bump.
In the meantime, I'd expect OTIC to file for Phase 3 on OTO-311 for Tinnitus AND either refile an application for Ménière's disease (based on data review- was failure due to poor trial design?) or to purchase IP from another company and pursue a new pipeline.
Yes, I think producing both a MCB and a WCB must double the time and expense. From the very impatient PMCB shareholder perspective, if the MCB can treat 50,000+ patients, why not just go with that? Well, the answers is after the original MCB is used up, PMCB would have to create a new MCB and then re-file with the FDA. Even if everything was exactly the same, the FDA would still consider it a new, untested biologic that has to go though a new round of testing.
So, from the longer term view, yes, you want a MCB that can produce WCB's that can potentially treat millions of patients. Do it once and do it right. From the viewpoint of any potential partners, because of the 12 year market exclusivity for biologics, you have to have the capability to treat millions and not thousands of patients over that time frame.
Finally, the testing of the MCB to produce a WCB is a double check of the freezing and un-freezing process and further validates the process.
So it's my understanding that $ACBFF now has it's license to sell oils and the reason this is most significant is because you can take excess inventory of dried bud and convert it to oils which has a longer shelf life.
I don't believe Legalization in June/July 2018 is fully priced in because all the details are not yet known.
On this ticker I really like the buildout of Aurora Sky for legalization, the oils license, and the acquisition in Germany.
Thanks!
I have this page bookmarked and I hope one day very soon we will see some updates! : ))))

HMMJ.CA is just under the IPO price. My guess is if it had done better than the Agro Sphere (spelling?) one would have launched.
Can anyone who knows $OTIC's finances better please chime in.
Balance sheet for 6/30 shows $155,337,000 in liquid assets. OS is 30,303,000. Market cap is currently $100 M.
Book value of OTIC is $155,337,000 / 30,303,000 or $5.13 a share!!
The $155M does not include the value of any IP or goodwill. Am I missing something here?
As of 6/30 $OTIC had $155,337,000 in CASH.
Market Cap is currently $100M. So, it's trading below book value, not including the value of any IP. Strictly cash and Treasuries. Wow.
Biotech investments are not for the impatient! For me, $PMCB is a HOLD.
If you believe in $PMCB and Austrianova's Cell-in-a-Box, you buy some stock and you wait. You don't invest in biotechs on the weekly time frame. Speculative biotech stocks like $PMCB are high risk, high reward. Plenty of other great tickers listed under the Hot! tab for swing and momentum traders.
Do I wish the IND was already filed? Of course!

YSK the FDA approval process for Biologics is different from the regular Drug approval process. In fact, while drugs are approved by the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), new biologics are approved by The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER).

CDER: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/developmentapprovalprocess/
CBER: https://www.fda.gov/biologicsbloodvaccines/developmentapprovalprocess/
FDA Biologics FAQ: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/developmentapprovalprocess/howdrugsaredevelopedandapproved/approvalapplications/therapeuticbiologicapplications/ucm113522.htm
I found these slides (from 2014, so some things may have changed) comparing the different Drug and Biologics approval processes:
https://www.slideshare.net/gas25/usfda-nda-vs-bla
Note slide 39, which indicates that the facility producing the biologics must also be reviewed and approved. I suspect this is one of the reasons $PMCB switched to Eurofins to produce the master and working cell banks. Eurofins surely already has had an FDA Product Standards facilities inspection as it already does work for 9 of the 10 largest pharma companies in the world.

Trussnet was acquired by ChinaTel / Velatel, which went bust trying to run cell phone companies in China and Peru?
So that's where the hate comes from? ChinaTel / Velatel / Trussnet went out of business. So people who hate PMCB today are people who lost money or jobs at ChinaTel / Valatel / Trussnet?
I see a Westmoore ponzi scheme that ensnared ChinaTel, but I don't see anything in the SEC complaint that ChinaTel was at fault or had knowledge. On the contrary, ChinaTel sued Westmoore.
This has been up for a while, at least as an ECN.
Very confusing but they seem to have a trading floor, membership, and to have done 116M or 2.2% of all US trading volume on 9/21 (ARCA, for comparison, is normally 8-10%).

I have orders from the KingBit... (a/k/a SWMBO - SheWhoMustBeObeyed) and I'm nott gonna lose this plum yobb as a well-paid (in 'troptions') basher.
Look, man, go down to the local Bashers union hall and sign up for an apprenticeship. Tell the head of the local that you know 1manband and that you're mom is Sicilian - he'll bump you up to the top of the list if you slip him an envelope with $400 cash (in well-worn $20s).
If KingBit... approves ya, sumbuddy will contackt ya. If you don't hear nuttin', don't axe and don't go back to the local. Just move on with your life. Nott everyone can be a made basher. You might be able to join a bash crew for select bash capers and, after earning your bones, you may be tossed a few crypto tokens for yer tip jar if you work good on yobbs. Maybe gett a free case of Dewars every once in awhile or a microwave oven that fell off the truck. Don't ever axe for compensation, or you may wind up in a building foundation or in two 55 gallon drums with concrete dumped in the Schuykill river.
Why would a large pharma company want anything to do with $PMCB?
First, we see many posts that sort of simplify things to "Where is PMCB's cure for pancreatic cancer?"
$PMCB hasn't developed a new drug to combat pancreatic cancer. Instead, it has taken cells that produce an already FDA approved chemotherapy drug, ifosfamide, and encapsulated them using Austranova's IP in cellulose-based capsules that are unique in that they cause no immune response from the body.
Encapsulated cells create what's called a biologic, and in this case trademark protected under the name Cell-in-a-Box or CiaB. CiaB allows for injectable, targeted chemotherapy, versus traditional IV chemotherapy. Because IV chemotherapy is circulated throughout the entire body, it naturally has many horrible side effects.
At this stage of the game $PMCB is offering big pharma a delivery system for already approved drugs. The nice thing about this is prior safety and efficacy studies can be relied upon. The other nice thing is cost. Finding a new drug to treat pancreatic cancer would likely cost between $2-$10 Billion dollars. Instead, we are taking what has been proven to work in the past and making it better. Smaller, better targeted doses.
Better for the patients and better for the company. Better for the patients because of smaller does of, in this case, ifosfamide, which means fewer side effects. Better for the companies, because the new biologic will have market exclusivity for 12 years. Remember, market exclusivity for a brand new drug is generally 5 years.
If you take a look at the long list of chemotherapy drugs owned by a company like J&J, you see names like CAELYX (doxorubicin hydrochloride), which went generic in 2013, and is used to treat cancer of the ovary or breast. This drug is still produced, but as a generic brings in modest revenue.
I have no idea if cells can even be created to produce doxorubicin hydrochloride, but bear with me here. For a relatively modest investment (the millions required for testing, IND submission, phase 2b trial) J&J could end up with a new CiaB biologic to target solid ovary and breast tumors that would have a 12 year market exclusivity.
So, you have that on the one hand and on the other hand the sobering reality that it would require between $2-10 Billion dollars to develop a new drug to target those cancers. $2-10 Billion for a market exclusivity of just 5 years.
J&J has several chemotherapy drugs off exclusivity now and they have more coming off in 2018 and beyond.
IF $PMCB has a successful phase 2b for pancreatic cancer, I strongly believe big pharma will want to try to replicate the success of CiaB and ifosfamide with countless other chemotherapy drugs.
Is that going to happen tomorrow? No. But I believe we are at the cusp of the most important moment in $PMCB's history.
I believe in the science and I believe in the math (that it's more cost effective to pursue new biologics than seek new drugs). Most importantly, I believe in the team KW has assembled, most importantly Dr. Manuel Hidalgo our Principal Investigator and most recently Dr. Sher our new CMO.
"Now I am truly disappointed..."
and you continue to vex me
I'm not saying a fake 8-K would be filed via pdf, I'm saying the most likely way a hacker got access via Edgar is by having a zero day exploit in a pdf file. Doesn't matter if is a primary document. The pdf format was the trojan horse.
Pretty certain they were already scanning for Java code in HTML. That leaves pdf.
Edgar definitely accepts PDF and has for years.
Yes, that would be dramatic and I'm sure that's how it would be portrayed in a Hollywood (Bollywood?) movie!
But as you know alarm bells would go off as the Edgar compliance departments received filing notifications via email and text messages. The security could be halted I suppose, but the IR people could instantly notify people it was a fake 8-K.
I dunno. They could easily trace the subsequent orders to at least the broker.
Seems to me a much smarter way to make money is by front running the news in small trades. Smaller reward, but far less risky. The fact that the SEC only discovered the hack afterwards leads me to believe this crew went the low risk route.
The problem with EDGAR is by it's nature it accepts HTML code and PDFs. I'm sure it has the latest wonderful anti-virus scanning systems, but anytime you allow someone to submit a document into your system you're going to be vulnerable to the worst zero day exploits.
If these hackers were smart they were searching for Confidential Treatment Requests and Draft (non-public) Registration Statements.
Bud Fox version 3.0?
I have filed a whistleblower complaint, I just never thought I would actually see any reward. I'd imagine it takes years for rewards to be awarded. Is that your experience?

I ventured onto other well known sites for PMCB info and I got a swift and coordinated virtual beatdown for stating anything positive about PMBC. Like 20 against 1.
iHub has the most balanced discussion of this ticker. Everywhere else it is one sided.
I don't know exactly what that means, but it is a fact.
Absolutely. KW has said repeatedly they get one chance and it has to be perfect.
Google "failed FDA Phase III 3".
Here, I'll save you 3 seconds: http://www.genengnews.com/the-lists/unlucky-13-top-clinical-trial-failures-of-2016/77900787
Notice the phrase "missed primary end points" in every case. So you have drugs that are safe and effective - that actually work - but because of poor trial design failed to get FDA approval.
Result? Millions of dollars for clinical trials wasted and market caps destroyed.
