Pissmilk; looked at the links you provided and scanned Attero's web site and could find no connection to or mention of EWSI. If anything, this outfit would appear to be in competition with EWSI.
If I am wrong about this, please provide a link showing how these 2 organizations are cooperating. Thanks.
Truth: my wife suffered from mild psoriasis a few years ago. She has 2 stubborn spots on her back about the size of a playing card which were pretty scary. She underwent treatments in a cabinet loaded with ultraviolet lights under very close supervision. (sounds like xtrac) There was only a mild improvement. Her scalp psoriasis was barely affected because she refused to cut off all of her hair. Her only real improvement came when she read an article in the National Psoriasis Foundation magazine which said that many sufferers get some relief by removing all soy products from their diets. Since my wife had become a vegetarian about 5 years earlier, she was consuming pretty heavy doses of tofu, etc., to get protein in her diet. When we started reading ingredients on grocery containers, we were amazed at how much soy flour, soybean oil, and soy lecithin are used in our "processed" foods. After going on a strict no-soy diet (soy lecithin does not seem to be problem causer) her psoriasis is down to a few spots here and there which last only for a week or two. Psoriasis seems to be one of those ailments which affects individuals differently. I hope Prurisol will provide relief or cure for many of those who have tried other products without much success, or can replace some of the treatments which are quite expensive. Go CTIX
ronwy; I agree with you - perhaps because I too have been burned in pinks that have grown from triple 0's to cents, only to crash.
I must admit that NTEK is the first pink I have been in that has such a large number of legitimate sources of potential revenue. But as long as it stays on the OTC, it may be subject to violent swings caused by individuals or "trading groups" who control millions of shares purchased in the 0.00XX and 0.000X range. Between the 1st week on Nov. '12, and the third week of Jan. '13, approx 1,295,000,000 shares of NTEK were traded in the subpenny range. Granted, many of these shares were flipped (there were only 388 million free trading shares available at this time), and others are being held by true "investors".
But that leaves a huge number available to be accumulated in the hands of manipulators who can drive the stock down, even when "good news" is released--not by "shorting" as often claimed by IHub posters, but simply by taking profits on their earlier purchases.
Why do they do this?? Because they can. During the last two weeks of June '13 and the first week of July '13 NTEK traded approx 200,000,000 shares between the price of 0.08 and 0.14. Technical indicators were screaming "overbought" during this period and there was not a lot of fundamental news to support the skyrocketing price. It only took a few of these multi-million shared owners to start taking profits on their positions to start the nosedive on July 9. And what fed the decline -- shorts? I don't think so. It was probably the people who bought in at prices between 0.08 and 0.14 during the 1st week of July, and saw their losses mounting. These types of swings are prevalent in OTC stocks because there is little or no institutional ownership to temper price action. That is why I hope NTEK uplists as soon as possible. I do not mean to say that those posting as "multi-million" owners on this board are the manipulators mentioned above. Just trying to illustrate what if a fact of life in pinksville. IM0.
Perhaps Mr. Asher subscribes to the dictum of Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels =
"Tell a lie often enough, and eventually it becomes the truth." Well, that idea didn't work back then and hopefully it won't start working in our time. NTEK only needs to display facts, thank you.
Totally agree. Thanks for trying to "keep it real" here. Happy if NEWC starts a slow steady climb to 50 cents over the next year. GLTA
those big low ball trades last week was Baker Bros buying
Lets get real here and forget about the Baker Brothers buying CTIX until it upgrades to Nasdaq or NYSE. From this source:
http://www.j3sg.com/Reports/Stock-Insider/Generate-Institution-Portfolio.php?institutionid=4698&DV=yes
You can find the current list of all 67 Baker holdings. There is not a single OTC stock in the lot.
Petemantx: thank you for sharing a very well written and substantive post concerning the latest moves of CTIX management.
Seymore1721; It would be best for you to call Schwab and ask what their policy is about lending out your EWSI shares for shorting. DeeDog gave you a pretty good answer in post 17686. My account is with Interactive Brokers. Even though it is a margin account, my shares cannot be loaned out unless I am actually using margin (the broker's money) to buy stock. If you have a margin account, the same situation may exist a Schwab, but you have to ask to be sure. Good luck.
Arena's Belviq Prescriptions Flat Week Over Week
Latest from Spencer O.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1678212-arenas-belviq-prescriptions-flat-week-over-week
Welcome to the EWSI board Dr. P. Hopefully, this will be a much more pleasant ride than the one we took on the "A Train". Looking forward to you future posts concerning EWSI. Can't believe that I got into this one way ahead of you, but I want to add more as funds become available as well. GLTA
Spartak11: I tried to find patent info as well. Only mention that I could find was in the company web site which talked about "patent pending" on the polymer coating of the materials in in generator which act as a catalyst to promote separation of hydrogen from oxygen.
NOTE: on PBS show NOVA last night "Making Stuff Cleaner", there was a short bit about another college professor who came up with an entirely different method of oxygen/hydrogen separation using sunlight which was amazing. The bubbles floating up from the water looked like a freshly poured glass of 7-Up.
Hi vegasvic; recognize you from a few other boards. Nice post. Started a small 10K position in HYSR Tuesday AM. Will be adding if this outfit shows it can turn "potential" into reality. I'm not a flipper. GLTA
FollowNoOne: Thank you for posting today's PR. The same service was also done by Tmoney111 in post 17032 and crudeoil24 in post 17063.
In all three cases, the posts were done without benefit of including one very important piece of information which is found at the very beginning of the official PR = the date and source of the new info. = LONDON, Sep 03, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX)
So far, people on this board have been pretty good about not regurgitating old news they way I have experienced on other boards. I hope that in the future (since we can expect more news as EWSI grows), posting of PRs will will include a date and source. IMO
dmattigly62: Here is another question you might consider asking at the R & R. "Do any of the patients in the psoriasis POC study group have psoriasis which has progressed to psoriatic arthritis, and if so, would they be observed as a sub group?" Thanks and GO CTIX.
My apologies zoomboom: Only realized you were talking about TYPE 1 until after my original post. Since I have been wrapped up in the TYPE 2 Diabetes Prevention Study for the last 17 years, whenever I see the word "diabetes" my brain thinks "TYPE 2". Lucky I caught it before my 15 minutes were up. I'm going in for my annual glucose tolerance and blood draw test on Sept 18, and will ask the doctor, who is a diabetes research specialist, if the kind of tests they do on me (a "predaibetic" with no overt symptoms) would also work on a TYPE 1 diabetic. GO AMBS
REIVAX: glad to see that you have recently been posting in normal text size and NOT using all caps and BOLD text for everything. Please save that stuff for only the really SIGNIFICANT posts about EWSI. Folks here will notice the difference and pay attention. IMO
What a pile of gobbledygook is being is being passed off as DD here!!
I box throws out buzz phrases like "exclusive worldwide rights to certain unique technologies" (where are the patent numbers??),
"electrical resonance", "cavitation", etc as though any of these could somehow overcome the LAW OF ENTROPY.
This is a joke. I got ripped calling attention to the same issues 2 years ago on the HLN* board with regard its so called fuel saving "hydrogen generator" technology. It was trading at $0.20 then and is now at $0.0015. Unless ESIV can provide a more detailed and rational explanation of how their "unique technologies" are going to accomplish the wonderful results they promise, I wouldn't touch this. GLTA
Hi Daubers: I was in PVSP from Nov. '11 (0.01ish to around March of '12 (0.02 ish). Missed getting out at the top of course. My account was with Options Xpress and I was never given an offer of the kind mentioned. Looking good here for PVSP again. I hope to be a long with you fellas sometime next week.GLTA
RE: Level2 I been watching EWSI the bid at .0525 by ARCA for 19.1K shares for the last half hour being ignored. Current ask at .0430.
What's going on? Thanks.
crudeoil: the less said about CoroWare the better. IMO
Sure hope Martin learned something from that experience.
I'm confident that he's putting all of his attention into EWSI now and that is good.
Orion; I wish my previous laptop's hardrive had not been corrupted, because I had bookmarked in it 8 posts from IHub posters who went "all in" or concentrated most of their funds in one stock and lost serious money. Some even talked about suicide. I was amazed at the concern and open-hearted responses of a number of experienced IHubbers who tried to console and help these distraught individuals.
CTIX seems to have a lot of good things going for it, but there is still risk here. Biotech is loaded with examples of high fliers that crashed. Be careful. I expect to be beat up for posting this because CTIX "is different" etc. I believe it is too, but putting all your eggs in one basked is not wise.IMO
makingwaves: thanks for the comment. Please see my edit. The broker at Fidelity told me that they consider all bulletin board stocks dangerous and call them all "Pinks".
That is quite a coincidence as I have have EWSI in 3 accounts as well, although one account is a trust I manage for my aunt who is in a retirement home in FL. Most of her stuff if very conservative, but this AM I got the account approved by Fidelity to trade "PINKS" and got her 19K at 0.036. Kinda weird how all the "conservative" blue chip stuff has been taking a beating lately and the stinky pink seems to offer the best prospects for her. GLTA
NOTE: EWSI is on the OTCQB, but as far as Fidelity is concerned, it is a "bulletin board" stock and needs 4 special warnings read to people who want to buy it.
Thanks for the info.
rru2s:Thanks for the informative summary. After doing my own research NVIV, I still have one question left. Is this procedure effective only if it can be done within a short time after the injury and before scar tissue has formed on the spinal column? My understanding is that a person who has been in a wheelchair for several years is beyond being helped. Is that correct? Thanks.
My understanding is that to post in ALL CAPS is the equivalent of screaming on the internet. I have also read (elsewhere) that ALL CAPS sucks up more bandwidth than using regular text and would slow down the operation of the web site if everybody did it. Is there a place on IHub which requests members to NOT use all caps when posting? Thanks.
REIVEX: I've been reading your posts for about four months and want to thank you for alerting me to EWSI. What supports my confidence in your comments is that you not only provide DD to back up stocks that you are long in, but you are not afraid to expose scams when you DD turns up bad info about some of these companies and the characters who run them. Please keep up the good work. IMO
toot; beautifully said. My sentiments exactly. Go CTIX
You want to invest in JPM morgan, call their IR department. ditto for Google, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, but "we got 2 employees." WE do not have an IR department. Leo might as well hire two people at 130 grand a year, and you can get stonewalled by face people. Will you be happy? No, you will complain about not getting real data. Our PR guy is the CEO, who is globetrotting for our benefit. you don't think so, you don't trust him, then you need to do what you gotta do. He knows what and what he cannot say; he knows your concerns. He owns 60 million bucks worth of the stock. If it gets clobbered, nobody loses more than him. Owning a little equity is about trust as it gets vetted. How do you think he will feel about IHUB investor base if he gets 5 emais a day about stuff he cannot discuss. He will turn off the email line completely, in semi disgust. HE KNOWS WHAT WE WANT. Trust me, he does. He is on our team. He is the captain of the team for Whoops sake. you sake and mine. use don't abuse. rights, entitlements........nuff. we got none, when it comes down to it. We are taking a privileges and something cool and using it to harrass, arguably. He knows. He is not stupid. Silence is an answer also.
RE:gaming. I live in a duplex and my tenant shares my cable internet connection. He is a serious gamer. Says wireless will not work with his game console, and he must have an ethernet connection directly from the router. Suspect many gaming systems are the same.
Karin: thanks for the clarification on Phase III for Prurisol.
Prurisol will be basically done in 9 months.
58nout: I don't know what you mean by "basically done", but my impression is the Proof of Concept (POC) trial which is to begin in Europe (in September??) is only the first step. If this trial turns out well, my understanding is that it paves the way for CTIX to apply to the FDA for a Phase II trial in the U.S., which would be followed by a Phase III trial. Granted, a successful POC will probably bring partner money which will be a shot in the arm for the SP, but is is going to be several years before Prurisol passes an FDA PhaseIII and starts to generate any income for CTIX. IMO.
I hope that "limits on posting going to the moon" means that such posts will be deleted immediately. Virtually every OTC stock I have owned where that phrase was touted repeatedly has turned out to be a big looser. I've only read back about 100 NVIV posts, but the discourse here is pretty civilized and informative. Hope it can continue that way. GLTA
According or Investopia, around 1985. Not that the buying or selling of the bonds was made illegal, but the requirement was added that the social security number and I.D. of the buyer and seller had to be recorded with each transaction. Thus, the privacy advantage disappeared, and no new ones have been issued since that time. However, if Pruricol becomes as "golden" as we hope, the pills may have to be transported in a similar manner by CTIX. (just kidding)
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/bonds/08/bearer-bond.asp
When did Bearer Bonds (aka: Coupon bonds) become illegal?
RE: Leo the "courier". When I was a senior in college, (this was during the late 1960's) one of my classmates had his schedule set up with no classes on Thursday afternoons and Fridays. It turned out that his father was a bond dealer on Wall Street and he had a courier job once a week, flying a locked briefcase full of "Bearer Bonds" between New York and London. The briefcase was actually handcuffed to his wrist and he did not have the keys for either the cuff or the briefcase. While such bonds are illegal now, back in those days it was a standard practice to transport those bonds in that manner.
As I recall, the bonds were placed in the briefcase at the New York customhouse, and then the case was sealed by customs with special stamps which got ripped when the briefcase was opened. This allowed him to pass thru customs in London with no examination of the briefcase. Worked conversly on the return trip using London customs stamps. Now the equivalent is accomplished over the internet.
Navy Mike: scroll to the bottom of any IHub page, and you will find
column titles ABOUT HELP EDUCATIONAL MORE.
Go to the HELP column and scroll down to SITE MAP and click on it. A new page will pop up. Go to the Right hand side titled
USER HANDBOOK scroll down 10 items to "How to post a chart."
Everything you need is there. You might need a program that reduces file sizes, because each time I tried to post a chart, it told me my file size was too large. Good luck. GO NTEK
Gxrjack: you are absolutely correct that significant information should be given to all shareholders(via PR) and not leaked out via telephone to a select few. If the IR is doing that, he should read the SEC rules on the subject. The CEO of K*AG was fond of doing exactly the same thing and that stock is now in the Gray Market. The reason for the suspension was never stated by the SEC, but it concerns me to see the same things going on here that were going on over there (if what those posters claim is true). Of course it would help a lot if certain VHGI stockholders stopped calling management and asking for insider information, which is what any significant news about the financing deal is. GLTA. (we'll need it)
This is my 1st time to be a shareholder in the first well in a new entity - such as HENC. The tension here is not unlike that I have experience in biotechs waiting for trial results or FDA decisions. I have been in 2 biotech stocks which had huge bear raids just prior to release of important news. (The hedge funds, etc. always seem to get news 30 min ahead of everyone else to start these raids.) Luckily, we do not have characters like Adam Feuerstein to contend with. I have a bunch here, but will wait for a confirmed flow report, even if it means paying a significantly higher price, before buying more. GLTA
Hi century: one of the benefits of being in the study is that the various cities participating get visits from the top investigating MDs, and they often hold seminars for us participants in the Lifestyle Change groups as a way of boosting will power to "stay with the program". My dad, as well as many others of that time, though that taking insulin shots solved the problem. What the investigators are finding out now that (even with insulin injections) diabetes progresses to the deterioration of all major organs of the body, not just the pancreas. My dad also died of heart failure which was brought on by the diabetes. The biggest impact on his daily life though, was that simple wounds would not heal. As his heart and circulation got weaker, he had to have major vein in his leg operated on. The incision of that operation never healed for 30 months until the day he died. He could no longer go out to golf or do other things he used to enjoy. He was a prisoner in his own home requiring visits from a nurse twice a week to change his dressing do what was needed to prevent an infection.
Bringing those scenes up from memory makes it easy for me to pass on eating a hamburger or pizza. Hope ARNA's Belviq can prevent many people in the future from having to live through similar experiences.
Century: Thanks for posting Dr. Daniels explanation. I have been in the NIH Diabetes Prevention Study
http://ndep.nih.gov/media/dpp-fact-sheet-508.pdf
for the past 17 years. When I joined 17 years ago I was headed
down the path to become a Type-2 Diabetic just like my dad - this study literally changed my life. The original program
started out with about 10,000 participants broken up into 4 groups.
approx 2,500 on Metformin,
approx 2,500 on troglitazone,
approx 2,500 on placebo
approx 2,500 on "Lifestyle Change".
Luckily, I was randomized into the "Lifestyle Change" group which required that I loose 7% of my body weight (= 14 pounds)
and do 150 minutes of exercise a week (I started playing soccer again). After about 2 years the troglitazone group was cancelled
because the drug was causing organ failures. Then in the 4th year, the study was halted early because the data showed that the
Lifestyle Change group were having such outstanding results compared to the metformin and placebo groups. A follow on "Outcomes" study was immediately funded to keep track of the remaining participants and I am in the 13th year of that.
The most important thing this study tracks is the weight of each participant. (Annual visits also record blood pressure, an EKG test, retinal eye photos,tests for neuropethy in feet, etc) I have tried to publish the chart I got on my last 6 month visit which shows my own % weight gain/loss, the San Diego group's average % weight gain/loss, and the national group's average % weight gain/loss, but IHub tells me the file is too big.
The chart shows that even with all the motivation and councelling help that Lifestyle study members get, weights have been gradually
creeping up - because everybody is getting older. This weight gain is less than the average weight gain of all adult Americans, but is still going up. I have been doing really well at holding my weight at goal because I personally witnessed how diabetes made the last three years of my dad's life so sad and miserable. But it is really hard to do this by diet and exercise alone. I had to quite soccer 2 years ago because of the sciatica injuries that I experienced + a tweeked ankle I got from running
into a gopher hole on the soccer field that somebody camouflaged with grass and sand. So all I can do now is take long walks and ride my bike.
If Belviqe will help me keep my weight down, I will ask for a perscription on the basis of being a pre-diabetic, and I know my primary care doctor will write it for me because he has been following my blood sugar levels (which are better now than in 1996) since I joined the study.
I hope ARNA uses some of its cash to design a PHASE III study for diabetes prevention/amelioration so it can capture some the money being spent on metformin and insulin today. GLTA
Screaming eagle: I think you jest about being a "rookie". Have been following you since that "superior" fiasco. Welcome to TNVMF.
