I don't need a bag for my head.I want a wheelbarrow for my hands to cart some of the astronomical profits to the bank!!!!!!!!
Not knowing your position at this point , my advice has to be taken with a grain of salt , but I would suggest getting back anyway because if ISCO does what I think , after the skin care launch in Nov. It will do what it's "sister company" , Biotime did this past year and go to $5-$6/share.(Biotime and ISCO share a lot of technology together because Dr.West of BTIM (Changing to Btx 11/01 ) and Dr.Aldrich of ISCO are "Buddies").
No, I pay for the service.
Here's the latest.
Release #:1468-85114-em-683360:
Notes from The Chairman Concerning ISCO Price Fluctuations
As a matter of policy, we at ISCO refrain from commenting on movements in the price of our stock. However, events yesterday were so unusual and have resulted in so many questions, that I think it is our duty to our shareholders to tell you what we know.
As best we can determine, Patrick Cox, who has been and continues to be a strong supporter of our company, was required yesterday by his publisher to cease coverage of our stock and issue a sell recommendation because he has an equity interest in a company with which we do business that could have been perceived as a conflict of interest. That has resulted in numerous negative comments on investor message boards that referred to the sell recommendation without giving the background or a full explanation. As a result, I felt it was important that we put the day's events into proper context. The following are what I believe to be the relevant excerpts from Patrick's article:
As you know, I've been a huge promoter of International Stem Cell Corp.'s (OTCBB: ISCO) parthenogenic stem cell technology. I've not only told you about the company, but I appeared on John Mauldin's podcast show with ISCO board chairman Ken Aldrich about six months ago. Aldrich and Mauldin subsequently became friends and found that their organizations were a perfect fit for marketing ISCO's cosmeceutical skin care product.
John Mauldin asked me to be a part of that organization. We looked hard at Agora Financial's policies as well as applicable SEC regulations and concluded that there would be no conflict of interest because the position gave me no direct interest in ISCO or its stock price....
My publisher, however, has grown increasingly uncomfortable with this arrangement. The reason is not that Agora Financial believes that there would be an actual conflict of interest. Rather, it is that it might be perceived as one by some, in particular SEC lawyers....
My publisher's trading policy's aim, however, is to keep me purely objective and disinterested. This policy is debatable, but I respect it. My only option, therefore, is to issue a sell order or face the wrath of a disappointed spouse.
You can probably guess what that means. I'm going to have to issue a sell order.
Patrick followed that with a supplement, in which he said, in part,
Just to re-iterate, now that I've seen the price action from this afternoon's sell alert, I'm not parting with the shares of International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCBB: ISCO) because I believe they are a bad investment (my feelings, as you probably know, are quite the opposite)...ISCO still has the transformational potential that I've told you about. The only real change is that I won't be able to update you from here on out -- due to an over abundance of caution from my publisher.
Obviously, we can't know for certain if these articles caused the price movement yesterday, but we believe they were a major factor. Moreover, the comments and the response of investors to them are beyond our control, but we do want to reassure all interested parties that there is no information of which we are aware to justify the price fluctuation that occurred yesterday.
I hope this will prove helpful.
Sincerely,
Ken Aldrich
Chairman

Hope your "shorts" are up high and your belt is tight.
I follow Cox's alerts and he followed up after the sell order alert to assure readers that the company is sound and he is staying involved.
I didn't sell either and I think that his other readers that didn't sell will hold as well.(I hope)
I wouldn't be surprised if the ones who did sell don't try to buy back in to a certain extent.
Cox is good at finding companies but after that there is nothing he can really tell you that you can't get from the company websites or the news wires in order to stay updated on a company.
So will I miss his updates on ISCO , of course , he is a good writer, but I can still stay updated without his help.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Glad you're BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAck.Missed YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much!!!!!!!!
Now Let's take it to "em"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
NNVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RAH RAH Ree ,Kick em in the Knee!!!
Rah Rah Rass , Kick em in the other knee!!!
Back a while ago I posted the same thought in a different way.
You can't argue with an idiot.To do so makes you look like an idiot too".
Remember the definition of insanity is "Doing the same thing over and over , expecting different results".
Oh that's it , all of us longs manipulated the sp DOWN to a buck!
If there IS a difference between short sellers and stock manipulators it is so indecernable that I can't possibly see the difference.
You guys are full of nothing but empty words and hot air.See if you can short all the way down to $.45 and we'll all keep buying more.
Actually I think $1.50 is too much for NNVClover.
His name fits him well "lover".Lovers have "relationships" for purely selfish reasons,with no commitment.
He's a "trader , not an investor".He keeps confusing the two terms and using them interchangably.
His thoughts on broad spectrum antibiotics are laughable.
If all people involved in investing or trading thought like him we'd all still be in the stone age trading clam shells.
Unless you were being treated with antibiotics for that then I wouldn't call it an infection.
However what you described is (was) a common issue back in the "stone age" when I grew up.
A dry cough as you described is "self feeding". It continues to progress as you cough.Bronchial tubes get inflamed and continue to contribute to the process.
Because you were retaining fluid and not just producing fluid (Runny nose etc.) you had no expectorant to expect.
Air conditioning just aggravated the situation by surrounding you with dry air.
In the "old days" Dr's would give you a 2 day supply of Tussionex(a C2 controlled cough syrup).It would stop your cough in it's tracks.Then they would have you follow with Robitussin DM.,Not Plain or CF.Then the DM (dextromorphan which is a codeine "clone")would take over after the Tussionex and allow your system to secrete the mucus needed.
If you experience oncomming symptoms again then immediately take a "drying agent" like Benadryl.Your body is going to either produce fluid or store it.You want to dry it out.Period.
If you are coughing and producing phlegm then take plain Robitussin.It keeps the "junk" broken up in your lungs.
If you develop a "dry" cough then take Robitussin DM.and continue the Benadryl.Works all the time.
I suspected a build up in sp before the prod.launch news on 10/14 and the news certainly helped.
Any guesses on how high a bounce after the launch ?
They know all these things already.Is there anything we can tell them that they don't already know?
In the 5 years that people have been invested,has anyone offered "revelations" that the MGT.at NNVC was unaware of?
We are all "armchair" quarterbacks here.We didn't invent the therapies nor did we create the delivery method(s).
We're all "second guessing" what is going on and there is nothing wrong with that but we all have to realize that "WE" are not in the "Trenches" "Forging" a new technology and birthing it through the firestorm of opposition and competition.
This , like any breakthrough technological advance, can be compared to a "WAR Child" that has to pass through the fires of adversity and contention.
I'm invested in NNVC because I understand the science and I understand the credentials and expertise of the management and I BELIEVE they have the capability of carrying it out.
It's just like having your furnace repaired.You hire a technician to fix it.You trust their credentials and expertise and then you expect the furnace to work well when they're done.
It's as simple as that.
If you don't understand the science and fundamentals then get outta Dodge.
I'm not directing this at you but using this subject to make a point.
They will create a BOD when they Need One.
Just keep up the trash talk.In 2-8 months your "PayDay" (or should I say Payback)is comming.
Don't ask how I know either.I'm not wasting my time arguing with you.
There's a difference between an investor and a "Trader".You're just a "Trader".
Look at the others here.They've been here for 2-5 years.They're not going anywhere and you should feel confident.Just make sure you did your DD.as they did.
So , according to your sources,Mr.Diwan and Mr.Seymour are holding roughly 20M shares between them.If the company is such a scam , I'm surprised they're holding any at all , let alone 15%.
Tells me they REALLY BELIEVE in this company (Even though they haven't had a picnic yet).
When they do , I'll offer smoked turkey , lots of "SHORT" pork and beef ribs and slow cooked brisket as well as other "short" items for those who appreciate "Short" order cooking.
Only , ONLY invest in companies that have employee picnics.
I use the word "invest" as "tongue in cheek" as you are no investor but "Just" a trader and probably a day trader at that.There is a difference.
That comes after the picnic. (you know there's a lot of drinking at them.Then the fighting breaks out).They're so much fun!!
Especially his readers.
I worked for several multi million dollar companies that had no BOD , Valcom and J.E.Goold for 2. But they DID have company picnics.That's how I could tell they were for "REAL".
No Outing , No Company.That's what I always say.
AND WHEN IS THE COMPANY PICNIC OR BARBECUE?????!!!!! YOU CAN'T HAVE A COMPANY WITH NO PICNIC OR BARBECUE!!!!!
I am Chagrined!
All the while I thought they were a REAL company and then it Dawned on me.No company outing! OH!!! How could I have been sooo stupid!!!
A few posters including myself have been noting this as it is non-invasive to body cells because it operates in the blood stream.
For NNVClover.To put this highly intelligent post into a paraphrase that even a "caveman" can understand.
It says "you are "long" on words and "Short"(pardon the pun) on intellect.
I hope you have thermal underwear , it's gonna be a cold winter for you comming up and shorts(there's that pun again) don't work well in winter.Huggies from Keltoi
And when she does , grab some popcorn and watch the movie explode on the screen!!!
I hope I don't sound "STUPID" here , but I think there should be an SEC ruling that you can't short sell a company until they reach a predefined market cap thereby protecting the company until they can prove their technology and get it in "gear".
It could be restricted to medical companies or other "in demand" areas of research that need a protected "developmental" environment for growth after which they can fend for themselves.
Does that make any sense?
If I did not research NNVC and make an educated , informed decision to invest , then that would be gambling.You can't "research" how the dice are going to roll before you roll them.
I understand the science and the fundamentals of the company as well as what they are doing and why.Am I still gambling?
I take more risk than that getting in my delivery van each day.
Just "thunk" this one up.
There once was a "shorter" from Shanghai,
Who shorted so much that he stayed "dry",
When cov'ring came near,he drank too much beer,
and now he's gone bust and he's pie-eyed.
Rah!Rah!Rah! NNVC,kick em in the knee.
Rah!Rah!Rass! NNVC, kick em in the other knee!
I agree for the most part regarding your view of the market and people's motives.People have been profit motivated since the beginning.(Profit being the fulfilling of one's goals ie: money , fame, self esteem etc.)
The market is impersonal.No different than a checkout in a grocery store or the fuel pump at a gas station.It's where "business" is transacted.
The ethics behind the"profit motives" of those doing the transacting are quite something else.Although shorting stocks is not illegal I question the ethics of those who do.
Causing others to lose for personal gain is not something I would be proud of.Kind of like finding a purse or wallet with 100s of dollars and keeping it instead of turning it in.
As far as the words on this board being ineffective you might be right but you never know.As far as I can tell, most folks are here to share their knowledge ,insights and enthusiasm about NNVC.
Words are powerful though.They can be used to build up or to tear down.You never know where they wind up or with whom after you post them.Who knows , they could be copied and pasted to an email in Mr.Buffett's computer.Far fetched maybe but you never know.
I also believe that the enthusiasm here has had a very positive effect to the management at NNVC from a morale standpoint.You may not think that that affects SP but I believe "Everything" factors in to the SP.
I realize the time lapse ,I just answered the question.I'll defer to your knowledge regarding buyouts.As far as progress in the meantime is concerned,if I hear anything I'll let you know.
If I were Dr.Seymour (after watching shorts attacking constantly and with the stock being relatively stable where it is),I would be "sandbagging" positive news and building up a bombshell news release to send the shorters down in the Titanics of their own creation.
ISCO is a great investment!!!!! Run with it!!!.
I did too.I see NNVClover doesn't seem to know about ISCO as yet.I'm hoping that ISCO starts to soar starting in November.I'd like to start taking profits and roll them into NNVC as it goes along . What do you think? Keltoi
I guess in your case "what you don't know can hurt you".You need to "get out more often".You're all wrong on NNVC as well as BTIM.Gee , how many other excellent companies are you also wrong about? I'm glad you're not MY stock advisor!
Gee , that's funny.I see you're invested in BTIM 12 days ago (which is ONLY 2 YEARS AFTER PATRICK COX RECOMMENDED IT at .45/share).Look at all the money you could have saved back then and made by now!
Go online and in the search bar type "Eva Harris , Dengue , Nanoviricides" or better yet , get a subscription to BTA with Patrick Cox.
The 50% survival rate was what I shared from P.Cox's 6/21/10 report after the Harris test results were released.It is not "privileged information".
Regarding a Pharma buying NNVC,I'm not sure what the SEC rules are in that area but I would hope there would have to be full disclosure and safeguards against something like that happening.
Do you know what the SEC regs.are in a case such as that?
You can't "herd" cats.Whores are questionable. But I get your point.
Your posts are very educational and informative.
I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
I have a lot to learn from you and I don't pretend to be otherwise.No one is perfect but you are a "good man".Respectfully Keltoi
Plants love nitrogen.Pee where you want.
I have an old expression."Never waste your time arguing with fools , for to argue with them makes you one yourself". If you think we are all fools then why are you wasting your time arguing with us when your time could be used much more wisely, shorting / buying & selling and making money and not wasted on the likes of US.
To Nanotoday (or to whom it may concern).I understand your feelings about Dr.FG and "peer reviewed publications".I honestly think both of you are right!
There are peer reviewed publications and then there are PEER REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS.I am not a genius and I don't play one on TV but if (let's use a conference as an example)NNVC attends a conference and "publishes" their science , etc.,it is reviewed by peers (other companies , etc.) right? Let's then determine who the peers are there.
From the outside looking in and thinking logically , those peers at that level would not necessarily be considered as "unbiased"would they? Even if they were,the publishing in a scientific journal by an unbiased 3rd party (ie:Harris)and reviewed by other unbiased scientists is the Medium that News Media Scientific Journalists use to find their news leads.(Not conferences).So,although both of you are correct , from a "publicity standpoint" ,It would seem to me that the latter is the more important of the two.I think reporters don't use publications from conferences for the reason that they don't have the "Validation" that they get from scientific journals.Respectfully Keltoi
