You forgot the third and largest weakness, their CEO. Until he is gone, this is a $2 stock, regardless of their “pipeline”.
Medical Design & Outsourcing recently featured how Phillips-Medisize used its expertise in human-factors product design to help startup Sotech Health create a breath analyzer that screens for COVID-19 in 30 seconds. How’s that Covid program going?
Wasn’t this September/October, then November/December.......soon, we believe, we think, we may.....you are resilient.
Don’t say bad things about a paid pumper who knows it all. Let’s get another list of all the drugs this dying company is working on. Maybe Sorrento can donate their new office complex to the unvaccinated,
I am double vaccinated and boosted and spent New Years with Covid. How’s that vaccine working! We know vaccinated people can spread and get it, so keep those mandates flowing. Let’s terminate the healthcare workings who were there when we needed them, now get rid of them because they don’t want shot or have natural immunity, then complain hospitals are understaffed, what great leadership we have. Too bad I can’t use Sorrento products to protect me.
And sleepy guy has done nothing but kill more people. How are those antibodies working, oh wait he stopped those because Florida was successful......let’s keep letting infected folks into the country...
Oh yes, “we think we have a cure”.....It’s only been 18 months and not one Covid product making money. And Mexico......
Yes I see that news is blowing the stock to new highs. For a supposed high tech drug company the product looks like it came on a slow boat from China. The government is shipping 500 million test kits, and we get excited about 10 million? We have an incompetent CEO with a blank check running this company. When he gets replaced I will be just as excited as you are.
If someone can translate, not good for Senior Dr. Ji.
Aunque autoridades sanitarias del país han alertado acerca de pruebas de detección de COVID poco confiables, que pueden poner en riesgo la vida de los consumidores, la realidad es que son fáciles de adquirir en la capital poblana, tanto en grupos de redes sociales como en establecimientos ubicados en pleno Centro Histórico.
Asimismo, hay gente que recurre a las mismas debido a que su costo es menor en comparación con las tarifas establecidas por los centros de salud oficiales, que van de los 300 a los 950 pesos.
En un recorrido efectuado por Reto Diario en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, ambulantes revelaron un punto de distribución de pruebas rápidas de COVID, localizado frente al Museo Biblioteca General Ignacio Zaragoza, en la calle 4 Poniente, casi llegando a la 7 Norte.
Se trata de un establecimiento de dimensiones reducidas, en donde diversos comerciantes semifijos acuden para surtirse de cubrebocas de marcas variopintas.
Una de las personas encargadas del lugar indicó que las pruebas rápidas de COVID estaban agotadas, aunque confirmó que sí las distribuían.
Abundó que se hace pedido de una “caja máster”, cuyo precio rebasa los 82 mil pesos. No obstante, mencionó que la tarifa estimada por cada prueba es de 170 pesos.
Otro ambulante señaló a esta casa editorial que los pedidos para pruebas rápidas de COVID no pueden hacerse bajo un esquema de menudeo, sino que se debe solicitar como mínimo una “caja máster“, aunque no especificó el número de unidades que contiene ni la marca.
“Identifican la nueva cepa”
Por otra parte, en la calle 10 Oriente, entre 2 y 4 Norte, en una sucursal de la Plaza de la Tecnología, hay anuncios a plena luz del día de los productos referidos.
Sin embargo, ingresando al lugar, los locatarios te dirigen o envían a un patio contiguo, en donde existe un local con más anuncios de pruebas rápidas, en los que se destaca la frase: “Identifican la nueva cepa”.
Los encargados del negocio detallaron que una prueba de sangre cuesta alrededor de 150 pesos.
También precisaron que el examen de antígenos (el de hisopo) viene por caja e incluye 5 unidades.
Comunicaron que el valor de dicha caja es de 925 pesos, por lo que el costo de cada prueba es de 185 pesos.
Acerca de la marca, la caja mostrada a un servidor dejó ver la palabra Antigen rapid test cassette (SWAB), que es una de las firmas no autorizadas por el sector Salud.
Oferta en redes sociales
En cuanto a las redes sociales, en diversos grupos privados se ofrecen pruebas COVID de hisopado a domicilio, asegurando que son útiles para detectar la nueva cepa.
En ese sentido, fuentes confiables mencionaron a este reportero que a veces los distribuidores te citan en los estacionamientos de centros comerciales para concretar la venta.
Lo anterior depende de la confianza que los compradores le tengan a los vendedores de las pruebas rápidas.
Junto con lo anterior, hay grupos en los que se anuncian exámenes nasofaríngeos o de saliva, con un costo de 500 pesos.
Aunque la tarifa puede resultar elevada en comparación con algunos laboratorios, los vendedores aclaran que incluyen resultados en 20 minutos y un documento PDF con los mismos.
Según el sitio Animal Político, las marcas identificadas sin permiso por autoridades sanitarias de la capital del país son COVISTIX (Antigen Test for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Virus in Nasal Swab), del fabricante Sorrento Therapeutics; REALY NOVEL CORONAVIRUS (SARS-COV-2) Antigen rapid test cassette (SWAB), de Hangzhou Realy Tech Co.
El kit de detección de antígenos (antígeno/fronto nasal), de Life Origin Biotech; la prueba rápida de antígenos sars-cov-2, de Amunet; Zhuhai Langfeng, de Biotech; Fastep COVID19, de Assure Tech; Vivadiag, de VivaChek Biotech; Hotgen COVID-19, de Beijing Hotgen Biotech; y One Step, de Getein Biotech.
Looks like they were made in someone’s garage then put in the hull of a freighter for a couple months. Great planning Dr .Ji, yea I would stick one of those up my nose......I can see why the FDA won’t approve those. China made Stix with a China made virus.
Let’s see how fast this company’s stock goes below $3.
It’s a paid advertisement, rehearsed and scripted. How do you want them to ACT?
What PR? “Sorrento Therapeutics hires a real CEO”!
More “hey it’s below $5,we need some fluff news”. No number, what can they manufacture, what does it mean?
Roger applied for the patent in his name, not the company. Wake up, it means nothing to shareholders.
“Btw, unless it’s this article or the patent application filing by Roger, nobody on $OPTI knows why OPTI’s share price is up.”
I believe it’s called a “dead cat bounce”.
We could have a great company is we had a competent CEO. What happened to our Covid treatments happening in .Brazil? Hasn’t it been over a year? Yes, we could be saving lives...
How about we break the $5 mark first.......
Good post Fitzy,
I think if we had a competent CEO, not a scientist running the company, we would be thinking differently. I understand the “pipeline”, but the inability to get any Covid products approved in the US is definitely a red flag. Yea we can blame the Government, but there is certainly something else going on. I have said before Ji seems more concerned about his real estate portfolio instead of the business.
Yes I know, sell if your not happy and as soon as I can trim losses I will.
Tide pods worked for me,,,,;)
It appears the fact that now the CDC does not want to count cases, and the term “herd immunity “ is the news topic today, maybe it is. My point is almost two years into this and not one product is approved for sale in the US. If Stix is such a accurate test, why not approved? What happened to the “cure” they had? Maybe they have other promising products, but Sorrento missed Covid IMO. Seems he was busy building his real estate empire.
Still looking for $100 a share? I would be happy with $8.
Can we just take the Covid products off the list, we have clearly missed that opportunity.
Guess we will be below $5 as predicted for the end of this lost Covid opportunity year of 2021. I hope the good Dr. has his 2022 calendar ready for his new penthouse office. Happy New Year to all!
More “we should” and “hopefully” ...where have we heard that before?
You can lead the great Dr. to sugar water, but you can’t make him drink, New Year, new CEO would be nice.
Are we successful in Mexico? How many have we SOLD? Not interested in what we could sell. If we are selling, odd that price is fighting to stay above $5.
$ 6.50
And exactly how many are we selling? Don’t blame FDA, remember when Covid started our great leader said “ we believe we have a cure” so I understand the credibility the great Dr has with the FDA. I appreciate your positivity but I don’t see a $100 stock in 2022. Once and if it breaks $10 most will exit due to lack of updates, revenue and how the Covid portfolio has basically been a bust.
Have a safe and happy holiday.
I hope/wish I will be wrong, but right now no Christmas miracle..
You been saying that for two years...they can’t even get a Covid product sold in the USA.
No, it’s for all his new real estate ventures, we will be bellow $5 by year end.
Dead cat bounce..
Dr Ji, time for more fluff news......round 4...ding ding
Yea, fluff. We need boxers and wrestlers to sell our great test stix. Stock is soaring.
Friday fluff.
Bankruptcy, scam company also.
Don’t hold your breath will be a penny by then,
Latest?
Below the radar.......it crashed.
Your desperate....
The update will be about the scam CEO we have, and how he likes his new house.
If they were paid in full, why would they file a lawsuit. Obviously our great leader is scamming again.
