Oh well, 10k wall at 2.67 upon open. Off to do some raking - better than shoveling I guess...
Tune in later.
I'd settle for a return to $6.00
Perhaps the closing of the offering will dry up some of the low-ball Ask shares.
Also, the total volume reported in that FINRA link appears less than actual daily volume - perhaps not everyone reports.

For what its worth I noticed MAXM exhausted/removed their large block of shares from the Ask sometime today showing only 100 shares around $3.24
Perhaps it had something to do with the pending closing.
Maybe they will let it run tomorrow.
Sweet dreams indeed.

Guessing the submitters are erroneously posting into the wrong group and it's up the the reader to search each group and combine the numbers.
Were on the same page Mike - literally but selecting from different groups. Very confusing. Googled documentation is a rabbit hole requiring recursive research.
Still looking.

May be useful to some folks.
TheStreet rating change from no rating to SELL.
Nice start ADNAS aholes.
Welcome back G3, refreshments are over there :)
These are old-days SP's, higher volume though - Gl.
Welcome back DS! Long time...
MB, don't know but we still have the $3.50 shares sold during the offering to plow thru too.
I guess whatever they did'nt sell in the offering they're cashing now.
This will turn once the shorting and new-share cash raising runs it's course.
A1, just noticed MAXM on level II 3,235 shares Ask @ 2.88 - dem dogs.
A1, could be but I suspect other forces at work here. I still trust the integrity of the management team.
For what it's worth I averaged down again today via straight-up shares.
No funky-ass warrant BS here.
Thanks for your input DT & welcome to the board.
Hard to peg a value on a negative revenue co. at any price.
It's all about potential.
Time for ADNAS to come out with some blockbuster news (please!).
There - I said it.
The warrants have a per share exercise price of $3.50
Warrant Ask @ .50
Effective SP via Warrant $4.00 - no?
TD Amer. showing: NASDAQ:APDN
@ 4.00 were now at .0666, hummmm

Whelll, I averaged down taking advantage of these fire sale prices.
At 3.90 the pre RS price is .065
Management better have some PR ready fly...
Last year Popular Science now this.
I'm passing - already invested much and frankly I want to keep it simple. Too many moving parts on the warrants for my skill level,
Applied DNA Sciences and MSS PROFESSIONAL A/S Win Popular Science Best of What's New, 2014
Prestigious award 'challenges us to the see the future
in a new light.'
Stony Brook, NY. November 12, 2014. Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: APDND), (Twitter: @APDN), a provider of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication announced today that, together with partner MSS Professional A/S, it has received a Popular Science Best of What's New 2014 Award in the Security category for SmokeCloak® DNA.
The awards will be announced in the December issue of the magazine on newsstands November 12.
The unique SmokeCloak® DNA security fog system, when deployed in pharmacies, banks, and other commercial/retail locations, works to protect staff, customers and assets. A thick and disorienting fog wards off offenders and deposits a unique, location-specific DNA marker on skin, clothing and stolen items. The combination of fog and DNA technologies, officials of the two companies say, has proven to be a deterrent to criminals; people and property are safer.
Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and chooses the top 100 winners across 12 categories for inclusion. SmokeCloak® DNA was chosen for its significant innovation and effectiveness in protecting commerce and safety.
"The Best of What's New Awards is our magazine's top honor, and the 100 awardees are selected from a pool of thousands. Each winner is handpicked and revolutionary in its own way. Whether they're poised to change the world or simply your living room, the Best of What's New awardees challenge us to the see the future in a new light," said Cliff Ransom, Executive Editor of Popular Science.
"MSS Professional A/S develops the world's best fog generators under the brand name SmokeCloak, and we work closely with leading experts in the security industry, including ADNAS. It is our expectation that SmokeCloak, together with ADNAS' natural DNA will comfortably prevent thousands of burglaries and robberies throughout the world," said Nick Bigler, CEO of MSS Professional A/S.
"We are honored to receive such a prestigious award from Popular Science," said Dr. James A Hayward, President and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences. "As is typical of our applications - from protection against metal theft, to prevention of counterfeiting in electronics and textiles - SmokeCloak DNA stands alone. It was created in collaboration with the law-enforcement community and we are proud that SmokeCloak® DNA can make the world a safer place."
SmokeCloak DNA has been featured on Discovery Channel Canada, WABC-TV, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and other media outlets.

okay CK, you just sunk my battleship!
With the 14.59 strike price cost their motivation must be to protect their control.
Unless there's a wopper surprise comming up.
Thanks again.
Thanks SL and welcome to the board. Your sports reference was previously vetted and deemed low volume at this time. I don't think to company even PR'ed it.
Keep digging there's gold in dem hills...
Gl
I skimmed thru it, thanks for the link. Not contacted yet. Anybody offered details for the strike price etc?
Competition list not impressive, nobody can match the array of tagable objects DNA can. No more lawsuits to worry about. Calm seas - clear sailing ahead.
I maxed out my cash with the recent dips so I will not participate but that's before I know to details which if are garage sale costs I might dig up some burried cash.
Excellent comments CK, thank you.
I'm of the mindset that management is both avoiding the dilution effect by buying back the existing warrants and raising new funds via the new warrants to buy time.
I'm not certain but I think the SP at the time the existing warrants were issued was around 14 cents or x60=$8.40
Thanks CK, I do remember some stipulation about 9% ownership limit concerning Creed a short time back - perhaps June(ish) or so.
Yes KB, it would definitely send a positive message.
LOL, thanks Mike, I suppose your right - "yoooo(s)" best rep. the local speak.
I hope your right and the SP moves up around that.
I'll look into the black shoes per your suggestion - thanks.
Your welcome. Good comments from the board/all - thank you(s).
Sounds like it may be the Creed warrants but why would ADNAS buy them at the higher price as CK suggested would not make good bus. sense?
BYW I found that web page by googling "applied dna sciences" and "maxim".
This is interesting APDN (SPO)?
Again reaching out for someone knowledgeable to comment on this.
http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/spos/company/applied-dna-sciences-inc-7266-76618
I dont know. I was using the high number (17) to try to pin a % on the dilution effect.
I do believe that a high volume bulk purchase of stock is better purchased out of the open market else a share price spike would occur similar to a short squeeze.
I dont know how the warrant share price is set.
I think the 17 million number vs the 13 million number is due to overhead.
All speculation and begs for a knowledgeable explanation.
