Secretly, I'm just following you and writing about it. Michael J Fox has nothing on me...My Secret to Success is Booger, ha
I don't know about all of you guys but I'm getting excited over the cheap shares and hoping for it to dip more. Only means a bigger percentage gain for us when it adjusts accordingly

Have a good one buddy
I'm saving this post and holding you to that statement now!
I'm a little concerned over your lack of diversification with CBAI being your only stock. Be careful you don't put too much into it...if you only have a small amount in it compared to your net worth, income, savings, etc....than thats a different situation and you're more than likely fine. Just my 2 cents
I havent paid close attention to CBAI's buys/sells today but from what I can see (delayed) we are about 6 million more sells than buys at the moment.
yes, for hopefully long term
patience my friend...we are in a good stock at the right time. i find this stock hard to trade so i stopped doing that...but long term, this will be a big winner i believe.
I think my friendly personality has a habit of attracting those exact types to whatever blackjack table im at, ha
tell me when you post those video clips on youtube...I'll follow you, ha
bad publicity isn't necessarily bad for a company like Apple...no publicity is bad. you nailed it on the head in that post. Not everyone is a computer genius...its a status and lifestyle attraction that Apple/Jobs has created. Impulse buyers want the new gadget to be the first to say they have it. I'm a believer in Steve Jobs and when he is gone, than I'm concerned over Apple because the mystique he brings could be gone
Not a whole lot of action here but here is another believer in GILD on SeekingAlpha.

Im expecting it to take a break soon to where we can buy in again and bring it up another leg by next week. Wouldnt that be something if SIRI is above $1 without the need of a reverse split?
I'm interested if he has to make another trip after this one or if he entertains some people from China as they make a trip out here. Both could be interpreted as something big and promising.
In a terrible market, at least CBAI provides some optimism
Developers and techies alike are typically "mesmerized" by Steve Jobs and whatever he does. He could introduce the most worthless piece of crap, slap a $300 pricetag, use his amazing sales skills and in time, it will turn out to be gold, as usual. Steve has the Midas touch.
Someone else mentioned this and I fully agree, expect the bloggers to come out ripping this apart for whatever it lacks and than later this year, they disappear when the Ipad is a hit.
Not to say that I think apple won't trade down now that the excitement is over...but I think anything under $200 for the next 3-12 months is a steal, especially with conservative guidance.
As traders exit (like myself), I feel we will get a chance to load up for long under 200 and I'm salivating at the chance.
Interesting article on the recent short selling regulation talks using SIRI examples:

sorry for replying to your post...i have a habit of doing that on accident since the reply button is right there, ha
It seems the rumor of VZ-Iphone has died down a bit leading up to the event. Has any recent information that validate this rumor at all? I think it could be a beneficial agreement for both parties and the stock should jump on that news if the tablet is going to be a sell the news reaction, which many people believe but I disagree with at current PPS.
Thought I posted this already. Basically, the blogs pertaining to Apple are bullish but hesitant to stay in Apple longer than tomorrow until the market figures out which direction is feels like going.
On a side note, Cramer is supposedly in Apple until $300 I've read on another forum.
Stock Market Blog
"...Last night Apple (AAPL) reported earnings and they were amazing to say the least. Go to yahoo finance, type in the AAPL symbol and read the recent news. The only negatives I’ve seen the bears focus on are that the guidance was pretty conservative and that the I-phone sales were a bit light. Outside of that, you truly couldnt ask for a better earnings report…they set their own personal record for profit in a quarter. Jobs knows how to keep his Job, he’s proven that over and over again. I’m up small on my AAPL trade which I’ve discussed this past week and may be tempted to sell a little before Wednesday due to my overall fear of what the market may do. Wednesday could be a huge day though with the tablet revealed and possibly confirming the rumor that the I-Phone will be available for the Verizon network. It’s a gamble based on how the overall market trades…today will hopefully give me some more clarification on if I should sell before or after Wednesdays release...."
Bullish longterm view on CBAI, among other stocks
Blog
"...I’ve been receiving a lot of emails lately on what to do with Cord Blood America, Inc (CBAI). CBAI is up nicely today but I don’t trust the staying power right now so I don’t feel compelled to buy as if I’m going to miss the train. I think we have plenty of time over the next few weeks to add more at a better price. If you do buy, just make sure you don’t buy all at once and make sure you have the funds to average down and buy more...."
The way i see it with this howard stern possibly leaving info:
if he's gone, lots of people panic sell thinking he is a huge reason siri subs are up....even though I think they still increase without him. than we have to wait until new sub growth for the next couple quarters is released because we all know this stock is hated by most therefore lots of pressure will be on it.
if he stays, he's probably paid a significant amount therefore the articles will state how he hurts their business rather than helps....therefore pressure on the stock.
to me, this howard stern situation is a rock and a hard place unless he's signed for cheap. I think it may be wise to look to exit into strength leading up to the next quarterly and possibly buy back when this stern situation settles.
Their social media 2.0 ad's are completely lacking. Viral videos are great but unforunately if only select groups will see them, they are not too helpful. If we need to search for these viral videos, they are significantly less effective than being promoted through social media sites for free with lots of followers creating hype around it.
They should have groups on facebook and twitter of thousands of followers by now with the game coming out soon in May. Michael hit it on the head I think, the game can be amazing but without the proper advertising or marketing, it will be a disappointment when the dust settles. We can only hope that we get enough excitement combined with the low level of shares to skyrocket the stock for a timeframe that we can sell into before the dust settles and its right back where we started if the game doesnt sell big.
I still think its a great gamble based on current price but they are not making me too happy with their terrible marketing.
glty as well
Didn't Vivendi just buy them out? If my memory serves me correct, I did not notice any PPS changes around that time that I could point to the buy-out as the reason.
Also, doesnt Vivendi own Activision whom GNPR is currently competing against and in the lawsuit with?
any plans for gnpr to get off the pink sheets?
