I am with Scottrade. They have no limits on number of shares as far as I know. I have bought several million shares at one time. They at times, refuse to allow the purchase of certain companies for whatever reason. Their commission is $7.00 a trade for market or limit orders, with an additional 1/2% on the total money amount invested for stocks under $1.00. All brokers have their good points and bad.
Disclaimer: I have only dealt with Scottrade, so I can't compare it to other brokers.
Chasing the bid or ask is not my style. I've got an AON order in at .05. The AON is sometimes the problem, but I hate spending a commision on 15 shares of something. With such a wide bid and ask I generally cut it in half. I guess I can wait.
TO PM: Yea I followed him over from KATX.
Any chance one of you would release your "deathgrip" on some shares? It's like you think they're gold or something.
Disclaimer: Been watching and reading for a few weeks. Love the info here.
It would be called investor relations. It is an important factor to publicly traded companies.
Then the question becomes: Do I fill my hot tub with cash or my olympic sized swimming pool?
Exposure comes from many sources. Tradeshows, door to door: or in this case clinic to clinic, hospital to hospital. I am not sure how a doctor is going to find out about this product just because a website exists. I understand we are rapidly moving towards a digital world, but it is not the end all for every company. Websites work well for a mass market, but this has to target a specific demographic, Doctors and Hospitals. So what is more important a product that works or a cool website. If this product works as advertised, it will sell itself. I have never bought a product because the website "looks" professional, but that is just me I guess.
Just my two cents for the day.
OOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOO, the doomsday clock.
With a definite timeline like this, I will have to assume he has something in the bag.
It has some decent strength to hold these levels the last few weeks. A very good sign in my opinion. Waiting is never the fun part, waking up to see 1000% gain is though.
I wonder if blood-alcohol levels would show up on the bioharp scan. I would be a willing test patient on that one.
I hate to see anyone drinking alone, so I'll have to join you.
yea, RICH would be the best.
BARP has a better ring to me, but then again I'm hammered most of the time.
Happy New Year to everyone. Finished my drinking and family obligations for the year. (Drinking really helps with that.)
I have a question on the survey. The third choice is 501,000 - 1,000,000,000. I read that as five hundred one thousand to one billion shares. Did you mean one million?
Also the Red Cross, Doctors without borders, the Peace Corps, missionary organizations. There are a ton of global volunteer groups that could easily afford a single unit.
You might be thinking of me. Not sure though.
I am unconcerned about the price movement. And I am just waiting for "real" news not just "fluff." I got control of my expectations and emotions in regards to the stock market years ago. Some people agonize over every little move and others shrug and looked to other endeavors.
Instead, I've spent some time and money being a "secret santa" for a local needy family. There are more than a few around these days. And since I have taken profits with this stock, it makes it easier to do. Though I am in no way selfless, I have finally spent a little bit on myself.
I have noticed people in general, project themselves into others. Their motives, desires, character or lack of, what they would do in a given situation, their emotions. I've never undersood why, but it appears to be human nature. But if you were meaning me, no I am not bitter, a bit perplexed, but I am still holding 2.5 million shares and will continue to hold until this company hits or misses.
It is tough to type while twiddling your thumbs and patiently waiting.
That was interesting, the bid and ask was at .034 for over a minute without any trade. The bid drops to .0331 and immediately trades.
Good patience on your part to not chase the momentum. Welcome to the board.
Yea, the monthly fee on the pets ought to be easy. Most people will accept the fee, I would think. I've said from the beginning, that the monthly fee is what will make us the most.
I'm not sure how they will treat the labs though. They put hundreds of mice, rats, and other animals through all sorts of tests annually. We don't know whether or not they will charge them per animal or an annual lump some. They will cross that bridge soon enough.
Just wait a couple years, they may have a home version you can sign your family up for. A monthly scan will determine if you need to go to the doctor or not. That would cut healthcare costs way down. (Just my wild speculation, flame away if you like.)
At the moment we can only sell this device for animal and plant use. I linked this post to an earlier post of mine that talked about the agricultural side of possible sales. This one will look at the veterinarian and labratory animal side of sales.
I went to ask.com and asked: How many vet clinics in U.S.? The only answer that I found was 20,000 to 30,000. If we want to be optimistic about sales that would be between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000 in sales if they bought the single unit at $5,000 a piece. I doubt if every singe vet will purchase one, so we will have to guess at the percentage of penetrating into the market.
I next looked at veterinarian associations. I noticed a few them seemed interesting.
http://avma.org/ or American Veterinarian Medical Association claims to have over 78,000 members.
http://www.aavmc.org/ or Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges has 60 members worldwide.
http://planet-pets.com/vetassoc.htm has quite a few animal and pet related associations.
People might be underestimating the potential on the animal side of things. Yes vet clinics is what I first thought of, but I have expanded the sales possibilities.
Think: animal tesing labs, zoos, aquariums, wildlife preserves, humane societies, the CDC, Chemical Warfare labs, U.S. and foreign custom agents(international airports and docks), cosmetic testing labs, most colleges and universities (biology and medicine), cloning labs. I'm sure I have missed many more in this field.
And again, no FDA approval necessary.
And if you act now, you get this cool potato peeler with every 10,000 shares. When you get to 1,000,000 shares, we will throw in a winter wonderland snowglobe valued at at least 10 whole dollars. Buy now, operators are sitting buy.(union rules, you know.)
Yes you do. Since they financed the deal by selling shares, we own future sales as well and hopefully any future devices the R&D team is working on. Adam Smith would be proud.
It is never too early for Scotch. Besides, we own the bioharp now. That is something to celebrate. I hope our management takes some time to do the same, they deserve it.
Yes, we should panic. Panic and greed are in the long run the most profitable trading philosophies. Sure you can make money by doing research, but not much. Jumping in and out with price movements will guarantee you never have to worry about a large tax burden. That cuts down on stress and anger when April 15th rolls around. You will live a much longer and happier life, since money is the root of all evil.
Or better yet: Buy with a plan and as long as the company's business plan and fundamentals don't change, don't change you plan.
Each country has their own form of the FDA. As I understand from ealier posts, it may become easier to get approval in other countries, the U.S. included once we have KFDA approval.
To the horticultural side of things:
My quick resume is fairly simple:
I'm a fourth generation rancher/farmer in the state of Washington. Grew up as "slave labor" for my father. For close to fifteen years of my adult life, I've worked in agriculture. I've worked for irrigation companies installing and trouble shooting pumps and circles. I've also worked in the local water project that delivers water to local farmers via the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project(think large Dams, and ditches that stretch for hundreds of miles.) With years of custom work both in the growing and harvesting of crops. Point being, I know quite a bit about agriculture and the farming community.
Q: Will this be used by farmers?
A: Maybe the large corporate farms, but I doubt if the average farmer will be able to justify the price.
Q: Who in the agricultural field will benifit from this product?
A:
The fertilizer companies and chemical companies... There are test plots all over the country and world testing new formulations of fertilizers and chemicals every year. Some to make plants grow and others to help kill weeds. They will want to see what effects thier new product has on the plant. Too hot a mixture will chemically burn a plant and introduce disease. Not a good things. Consider the bioharp a way to test quality control. But, the chemical and fertilizer companies do work on a daily basis with the average farmer. The representatives could easily have access to the bioharp. Think Dow chemical, Archer Daniel Midland, Dupont, Mosaic, Potash.
Testing Lab A... These are places that often times do studies of certain chemicals and fertilizer combinations to see what is the correct "dose" of product. Kind of like lab rats, but with plants.
Testing Lab B... These are labs that determine the disease or weakness of a plant. At times we use these when we can't identify the cause of weakness to our crops.
Large Corporate farms... There are hundreds of these throughout the U.S. They grow basic food staples for human and animals, as well as livestock and poultry. Dairys have hundreds of cows that are rather inexpensive, but the bulls can cost a decent amount of money. The cattleman is dependant on every single cow being healthy and being breedable. In my area, Vets do make housecalls and could benifit from the bioharp. Think Tyson Foods, Kraft, General Mills, Del Monte, Chiquita Brands. There are a lot of these, people have to eat you know and these companies have deep pockets.
Colleges and Universities... Just do a search to see how many of these have Agricultural and Veterinarian based degrees in the U.S. They work with lifestock and plants all over the place. They have test plots very similar to the labs. They work on new ways to grow and care for crops. Instead of dissecting frogs in a biology lab, they go out to small plots of land and grow things.
Veterinarians... Both in the domestic animal classes and livestock class. Do a search to see how many vet offices exist worldwide. Also, individuals may purshase one to "check" fluffy.(Hell, Tom Cruise bought a sonogram machine.)
The racehorse industry has already been commented on.
And none of these need any approval from the FDA.
Just some food for thought that some may have never realized.
My interpretation is simply that they will be coordinating their personnel and offices.
We now own bioharp in its entirety. We don't know yet, but I would assume we will keep some if not all of bioharp's employees. That is what I perceive that he meant by "merging operations."
Didn't you post this yesterday? Memories seem to be short around here. Hey, wait a minute. Your message is repetitive.(just kidding)
Thanks for trying to keep it clean around here.
If you watch the original Moon Landing footage, you can just barely make out the bioharp. But then again, I've never met Paul Lisenby, so obviously he doesn't exist.
Remember to breath and say these simply words:
Serenity Now.
Hang in there, you are doing fine.
My thought of yesterday's action was from the "sell on the news" crowd overpowering the market. I doubt if they are very happy with the lackluster price action. They got very little bang for their buck
It takes everyone to make a market. Longs, shorts, traders, chartists, momentum players, flippers, and grandma. Grandma is my favorite, she doesn't whine constantly when she finds herself in a bad situation of her own doing. She lived through the "real" depression. Granted, she doesn't know who she is most of the time or what the internet is. Playing the pennies, and that is what we all are doing, is nothing more than buying a lottery ticket and waiting to see if it hits. This has hit for a lot of people already. Maybe at your expense, but nobody forced you into this stock. I doubt if anyone likes the price action from its high of .10, but ranting and raving about it doesn't do a thing to improve the situation.
As to your opinion that trader are the "hand that feeds us". That would be the success of the company and the speculation of its future growth that will feed us. Traders and flippers are just rungs on the ladder. Most of the time they think they know better than everyone else and are very vocal in stating that and get upset if they are questioned. They are the "fast money" crowd, and yet Warren Buffet is one of the richest men in the world. "Buy and hold" works for me, but that is my temperament
My unsolicited advise, since you and others decided that this message board was set up for just that, is this: RELAX, evaluate your position and make a decision on what you know. Not on what you feel. If you are a trader, you have temporarily lost. Momentum is against you, the charts are probably against you(I'm not a chartist). If you want fudamentals, you're going to have to wait. If you think you can run this company better, put in your application. But, most of all RELAX.
ditto.
I think too many traders got caught leaning the wrong way on this one. It is always the company's fault that a trade goes bad. But reading the rants are at times entertaining. I don't like seeing people lose money, but chasing the quick buck usually catches up to you in this world.
I agree with that one. lol
You got to believe that your shares are worth nothing. This was just a fluff PR. I mean really, who's gonna believe that the deal was finalized. It was just the ceo that made that statement. It should just plummet when orders are announced. I'm just trying to save you from yourself. I have no other motive. Really.
FINE. Keep your shares. May you live a long and prosperous life off of the shares I sold you. See If I care.
P.S. I'll be serious now. I hope that you see at least an 1100% profit from you investment here.
Okay, I am one of the lucky ones. I must have been one of the immoral bastards that sold you shares @ .02-.03. By the way, I want them back. I can sell them for more tommorrow. It is a great game and I have a recliner. That is why I still have the majority of my shares. Now we just wait on sales figures.
1. I have no idea. Apparently you would rather hold stock in a company you have absolutely no faith in. And have a discussion with a bunch of Kool aid drinkers.
2. Since they have not released the terms of the deal, nobody here knows.
3. Because they have not released that information yet.
Not the greatest of days for the price, I agree. But I must disagree with you on today's success. The deal was finalized. That is excellent news.
As to your earlier post about the management not caring about the shareholdes. Enron's only concern was stock price and look where it ended up. This company appears to care about the building of fundamentals, that is how good management acts in my opinion. They confirmed that they finalized the deal. It was a quick PR for the anxious investor. I doubt it will be their last PR.
I get it, you want to rant. So take your time and get it out of your system. Remember, you can always sell for a loss and deduct it April 15th.
Wait until it reverse splits and drops back to .0001 and then you can double down. Just think, you'll have close to 5 shares then. You'll be rolling in dough.(yea, it's a scotch night)
After some research:
For some time now I have been a bit suspicious of this company. So I took five minutes out of my day to scan Lady Gaga's Facebook page and found absolutely no mention of Xtend Medical. It was a shock to me as well. After cleaning up and recovering some of my manhood, I turned my attention to trying to figure out whether or not Paul Lisenby was a real person or just a voice actor at the Pixar Studios. Since I have never met him and have not read that anyone else here has, I have deduced that he is in fact an overpaid voice acter from Atlanta, Georgia. Why Atlanta, you ask, because I can't spell Seattle, Washington.
So now it is ten minutes into my panic attack and a thought occurs to me. Does Korea really exist, or is just an elaborate hoax created by Rainmaker? Since I've never been there, you can guess which way I'm leaning. My great uncle claimed to have vacationed there in the fifties. He liked it so much he left a foot there. Personally, I think he lost it in a poker game, but who knows. So again, I must try to figure out whether or not Xtend Medical is a real company. I have watched diligently the ticker scroll by as I "listen" to the very beautiful Erin Burnett. Not once, have I seen our company's symbol. I am beginning to think it isn't actually in the Dow.
With each passing minute I become more and more concerned. And we all know that every single company listed on Pinksheets is a fraud, scam, and run by the same two MM's. There names are Dave and Steve. How do I know that, you asked. Because I know people. Not very many people, but some people. Well, not me personally, but I heard once over on the "other" board, that there is a guy named Dave.
To bring you all back up to speed, Xtend isn't in the Dow, our ceo is an actor, and Korea may or may not actually exist. Now, I don't jump to any incorrect conclusions without any evidence whatsoever. I'm a level headed guy, so trust me when I tell you this. This bioharp thingy is a fraud. I know this because if it was real, it would already exist. Yea, sure I've seen the pictures of it and yea, there are a "few" patent applications, but come on. Al Gore would have invented it back when he first invented the internet if it were possible. Technology is so last decade. Next you will argue that technology is ever evolving and new minds and theories hit the market everyday. But in reality these minds already work in a large company with a billion dollar R&D buget. Nobody wants to start their own company from scratch anymore. Not when you can watch your pension evaporate from mismanagement by your parent company. Now, that is the American dream.
And this share price is the kicker. The market is an orderly place where panic and greed never play a factor. Logic rules the day. Where, the richest man in the world has a stock that just keeps going up. It doesn't just depressingly stay in the twenties as it churns out billions and billions of dollars in profits. I mean really, do you see banks losing billions of dollars and yet still remain in the Dow? Me neither. Come on, if this stock were real and is looking at "phenomenal" sales in the future as the hypothetical ceo stated today, we would be worth 40 bucks a share at the very least. Sure they are working at uplisting, but that is just code, for moving their office up one floor. Don't get me started on dilution. I mean really, a company that sells shares in order to raise capitol to bring a ground breaking product to market so we all profit from it. No public company would ever do that, they are born with money.
I have been shaken to the core of my being at all that I have found without actually doing any "real" reasearch. Sure I just typed in anything negative I could think of, but since it was about this company I didn't violate the TOU guidelines. This is America after all. Parodies are allowed.
To a fruit fly, three weeks is a long time. To someone who expects a penny stock to be the next google in five minutes, no doubt three weeks is a lifetime.
So now people don't believe the company because they took two nine days longer than expected? Really?
I'd appreciate you bringing some logic to your posts next time.
