Anche io spero che APH annucera presto presto le informacione significante. Avero un bon visita con tuo amici. Il tuo italiano e molto piu bene che il mio!

Could be all that dogmeat and fava beans :-o
makes sense r042wal, I could live with that
People say I'm out to lunch most of the time Surfin', APH should be going nuts! Thanks Janet for the tradingday link (e per l'altri informazione, ho visto questo stock ma le mie tasche sono vuote!).
I'm on the edge of my seat for the US listing but I'm trying not to put a timeline on it. To read the otcbb requirements it sounds like all you have to do is put a quarter in a gumball machine to get a listing so who knows when it will come through.
Go APH!
Hey all, I've been out to lunch for a bit, came back and the DIN's in! (btw, right on both counts janet ) Methinks the DIN was a bit of a surprise but since it was out of Alda's hands it would have been a surprise regardless of when it came out. What's great about this is it does take away a major variable. Now it's the US listing so we can meet the Listing and Eligibility Requirements

then we can get on the shelves at Shoppers and ValMart, then we can get on Oprah and then...well, the Life of Riley comes to mind!
Good observation janetcanada, someone got a few tasty sweet cheapies there. .03 wow! I doubt 17k shares would be enough to take it down but you never know. Either someone was trying to start a rout on the stock or was desperate to get out - a move I'm sure they'll regret.
Nice to see some news out. Chart looking slightly less grim.
Go APH!
Drumstick, just because it comes into your head, doesn't mean you have to post it! You have to discriminate! You are hypnotizing yourself into a depression. The sp is what it is and our opinions won't change it; the company continues to work hard regardless of the sp and our opinions; in the absence of new fa we can only discuss ta and that's how it always goes. We are a small boat on the ocean and we only ride the waves, we don't create them. We can steer the boat, we can let out the sails, crank up the outboard or drop anchor, and we can be happy or sad on the boat, but that won't change the wind or the waves. So check your compass and your charts and make your best tack, but go easy on the groaning. I generally choose to look for positives - that doesn't mean I'm deluded or that I don't mention the negatives, it's just my choice given the situation. When it's raining it's not necessary to say, "Oh, crap, there's another raindrop." Get an umbrella or stay in. Ok, I'm all out of analogies. Sorry Drumstick, it (the sp) just is what it is. (Go APH!)
Good news from the mouth! Nice to get an underwater camera on that duck every now and again!
This forum is getting sidetracked. Drumstick seems to be looking for a clean slate, tabula rasa, let's give it to him. Everyone might want to drop their baggage on this and get on with the discussion of APH.
Not too much positive to say about APH but that does not invite repeating the negative ad nauseum (I don't speak Latin, really). Drumstick, I believe the discussion now is around the US listing because the DIN seems to be a bit farther off, or at least on an unknown time frame. But the US listing will have only a limited effect without the ability to sell brought by the DIN. As has been said before, ideally the DIN would come before the US listing and there could be a series of nrs that announce the DIN, listing, possible contracts, points of sale, etc.
We are all grasping at straws here. I'm very disappointed at the share price but it's not TO's fault and it's more likely mine for ignoring what appear to be in hindsight pretty clear sell signals. Technical Analysis comments are really all you can mention and designerportfolio is very likely correct in his reading. So barring chart comments, perhaps it may be a good idea to not say anything unless there is new info on the table. Hopeful and emotional speculation can be frustrating.
So, imo, let's make positive contributions rather than snipe, Drumstick - if you want a minute of positive thinking then set the time and people will join in or not. I really really really want the share price to go up but the market calls the shots and we're just stuck in the mud for now. T36 is still a great product, Alda still has outstanding potential, etc, yadda yadda, so for now we wait with the patience of Job and the serenity of Buddha! lol

I wish I could say I embody the above quote or even that I studied it. I found it in my Zen Calendar! But we try our best! Gluck all. Go APH!
Thanks Surfin, you da man. I do find it unusual that he mentioned anything about selling or not selling, even though he said it was his opinion. Normally the company will not make any recommendation, opinion or otherwise.
I'm going to hold as long as I can, some summer expenses are coming so I may have to sell some instead of buy at these rediculously low prices but hanging in as long as possible!
Agreed Surfin. It may be worthwhile for designer to lengthen his chart periods before making statements or better yet, state clearly which periods he/she is using. You can swing between positive and negative many times in the course of the day if you're using a 3 min chart. How about it designer if you're still reading? Post your parameters so we can see what you're reacting to and it doesn't seem so much like a bag of TA Bits and Bites.
Hey guys, I don't know designerportfolio but he is just reading the chart and placing a hopeful bid based on what he sees. The more info we have coming in, the better decisions we can make. I wouldn't mind a few more at .30. Surfin, you're a chartist, the next big support looks like .30 to me. APH has bounced off .30 several times and without news in the near future it may well again. It doesn't mean it's a p and d, it just means we should be playing the trend, not playing kissy-kissy with our favourite stock.
Me, I'm as disappointed as the next guy, but I own too much to unload at these levels of volume so it makes sense (? - in my own twisted little mind anyway) to wait it out while I can afford to; which is not too much longer btw! As I've said before, if I could spend 20 seconds back in April again i'd have unloaded and loaded up again here but that's not going to happen (I tripped and dropped a bottle of Yukon Jack into my time machine, broke a bunch of the popsicle sticks and killed the hamster.) so for now I gather info and wait.
Everyone's a little touchy about their favourite stock, but we're here to discuss. TA changes daily, we don't control the waves, we just surf 'em. (ps, I've never surfed, i was speaking metaphorically, lol)
Si, e vero, anche io cosi spero, ma devo aspetta un po piu! Non, il mio Italiano non e meglio di nessuno!
Buona sera,
elephant
Milan and Paris, the Manhattans of Italy and France! You both must have had some culture shock coming to Canada - Europe probably has phone booths that are older than Canada. Well, glad you decided to stay.
tutto il mondo e un paese pieno di paesani che mancono di T36 Disinfex!
Anche a tu saluti,

(with apologies to actual Italian speakers everywhere!)
You Italian janetcanada? I've spent a some time in Italy, I'm a bit of an Italophile lol.
Come sta?
Excellent info from TB, as usual. Tremendous potential for Alda and its myriad of stellar products. Nothing imminent, though, and that may be what this drop into the .40's is about. Only 119k at this point so no volume to worry about. Like Surfin said earlier, I'd just as soon get this chart into a double bottom and set up for a leg up. Go APH!
And perhaps we should distinguish between otcbb which does have increasing regulatory control and a pink sheet listing, which is fairly wild wild west. There are many high priced stocks on the otcbb, though it does have the reputation for pennies. Ya gotta start somewhere and otcbb will give credible access to the US market that the current bootleg pinky, which will not be trusted by many.
Action today still very low volume, no worries mate.
lol, Give, give, give Surfin, not many would be willing to forego the .46 double bottom and be fine with going straight up from here - you are a pillar of generosity!
While I know it would only make me an also-ran to your initiative, I too would be willing to skip the db AND any further consolidation to have the share price clothesline straight to $2.00 and beyond. I feel like Mother Teresa.
Thanks for the chart Surfin. I'm a grasshopper at charting but I think that shoulder is stretching pretty far out to be part of an H and S pattern - unless it was dislocated in a charting accident! I agree with you about the db, and hope that it doesn't have to go below .50 to do it (but secretly suspect it will). Most of the recent price action has been on low volume so as you said, when news and volume come in we'll turn that chart frown upside down.
I'd really like to see the US listing before any big news so that that market can access some juicy APH shares and join in the fun. Alda does seem to have an unofficial pinky listing as APCSF, but I want a real listing. Go APH!
lol Ditto here Surfin, big time ditto here. but alas I try to remind myself as they say: coulda-woulda-shoulda, don't should on yourself! Maybe a nice double bottom to suffer through here, let the sp tickle the lower bolly and then we can get on with it.
Surfin, I think the most obvious explanation is that we have been trapped in a time vortex and must coninually relive the time between 9:30 and 10am. Just imo, of course! lol
lol , I'll settle for a case of T36!
The real push will be ongoing. With the number of products Alda is pursuing, I think the LT value of the company will increase continually as each human trial is completed successfully. Athlete's Foot alone could take Alda into take-over territory, let alone eczema. So you may be right about September. However, imo the next month should be fairly active with the news we've mentioned coming up and Beijing around the corner. It's a question of how many ducks you want in a row. Depending on how my account is looking, I may sell into an upcoming rally and re-enter before the next news.
Of course, I know nothing and am probably full of bull feathers.
True dat, thebouch, it still surprises me that the $1.57 drama was only 3 months ago, actually almost exactly 3 months ago!
I hear you about the sp wisprin. But I really don't think this last news was the news we expected. The DIN, the rebranding, an ad campaign and the US listing must work in concert. The rebranding on its own is just a novelty. It has to be connected to potential product and share sales. I believe this is still coming and T.Owen's actions have only reinforced my opinion. My shares are still green so it's probably easier for me to wax confident. Nevertheless, Owen continues to follow the path he said he would and that differentiates APH from a LOT of stocks.
Chief made it pretty clear that to him P and D is Pop and Drop (which predates Pump and Dump)and Pop and Drop is a chart pattern that pretty accurately describes what happened to APH. I am loath to bring it up here because one poster on TCC was stirred up and fixated on that one point despite everything Chief said to the contrary explaining his position. Sorry, but I don't think there was much pent up anything - some people seek out scapegoats.
There's no one here that wouldn't have sold 1.50 in retrospect, we're just coming to terms with a stock that's moving at a more reasonable pace now. And everyone knows I'm a big fan. Say what you want about Chief, but you've seen him in action - I had a dream once that I was half the trader he is.
It sure would be nice to accumulate some more shares at these prices. I don't know how many times I have to learn the "set your fricken' stops" lesson, but apparently one more time. When I think of the number of shares I coulda-woulda-shoulda (don't should on yourself) bought here had I played 1.50 with more brains....aargh! lol It's all part of the tuition of trading school I suppose. Let's raise a glass to the second run up, second chances and 20/20 hindsight. We're not out of the woods yet Dorothy, but I think I can see the Wizard's house a bit more clearly.
Thanks for the welcome all, I don't have a membership so I'll be very public! All elephants aside (it really is just a name - except to Leonardo da Vinci who recently spent too much time in Photoshop). I think all of these forums are a study in psychology as much as stocks. It's rare to find a forum as civilized as this one, as you know, but that might just be due to it's small size (just like Canada) and limited focus (APH). As a room full of people grows, it takes firm guidelines and a firm hand sometimes to keep the yahoos in check, present leadership excepted! But the advantage of small size is a relatively better opportunity to learn and share personal experience. I'm still a grasshopper (a newby for you kids who've never seen Kung Fu) at this trading thing and I find the losses are greater teachers than the successes and I've had some fantastic losses lol, cry, lol. So I humbly suggest that the group will grow if we share both the wins and the losses and the reasons as we see them. Now I'll finish before we all start holding hands and singing Kumbaya.
Elephants seem to have played a large role in Renaissance painting. For instance, if you study carefully this portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, the Mona Lisa becomes an even more remarkable painting!

Btw, I'm also "thetick" on Agoracom! Ah, I feel like I've been to confession!
Good research r042wal, every little bit helps. I did notice again on your chart (I held up to the screen a TA bottom channel finder, a piece of paper, lol) that October and January were the last 2 times APH hit this trend line, both nice bounces. Let's hope this bounce is even bigger and fueled by DIN, branding and, what the heck, a nice juicy Australian contract (with a side of shrimp) straight off the barbi.
I've been in APH since Aug. I missed my sell on the 1.57 pop (would have been nice to get back in around here) so will be looking for a move at least to $2.00. With the right news I think that will just be the start. LT, wow, $4 to $6 are not out of the question when some of their human testing (silly humans) is successful. Speaking of fungus, Novartis (Lamisil)and Schering-Plough (Tinactin, Dr.Scholl's) trade at around $50 and $20 (both off their highs, btw, may be good trade potential). Granted, they are much bigger companies than just their Athlete's foot lines, but Alda has at least as much potential with a very safe and effective product line, not to mention tremendous buy-out potential.
I post on TCC as Dog but always like to keep my ear to the grapevine, good group here.
While I agree with you about the DIN delay, I can't agree that the nr's have been fluff. In a couple months when they announce that the clinical tests have been successful and they're going to human trials I think those fluffy nr's will firm up nicely into solid company building (not to mention the dramatically increased sp when the human trials are successful and we're marketing a powerful new treatment for eczema and athlete's foot). They may not be the nr's we want right now, but as I mentioned earlier, Alda has been chugging along with research, growth and development the way an industrious company should and our profits may only be incidental to their plans.
Thanks for the chart SurfinNj (and all your charts). I like the looks of what happened the last time rsi was oversold like this. Also, you may be very right about contracts in Australia. Alda is patented in Australia and I wouldn't be surprised if TO is rustling up some business in anticipation of branding. I'm assuming the rebranding we do here will apply to Australia with some minor changes. Let's get some T36 on the barbi!
45,000 shares works out to about .03% of TO's holdings, not including his options. We all have bills to pay, decks to build, bacteria to kill. The earth doesn't have to shake for APH to keep on trekking.
I ordered some T36 from one of the suppliers listed on their website. I ended up with a case of small bottles of hand sanitizer and a couple bottles of surface disinfectant. I couldn't resist the temptation. Does it work? How the heck should I know? But I know it's been getting some of the red out of my portfolio!
The last nr about the human trials reminded me that while we investors have been obsessing about the DIN, Alda has been merrily continuing to research and expand it's already awesome product line and potential. I imagine Owen is conducting the APH train as if the DIN# is a given while he moves on to even greater expansion of the company. Methinks the next few releases will take us back above the grass into the sunshine of Dollarland and ... beyond.
Thanks for that janetcanada, that's one talented elephant. I wonder how he (she)would do if we gave it a pointer and put a listing of all the stocks on the tsx on that easel? lol APH showed signs of life today, if the news train pulls into the station again soon we should start to build up some momentum. It may take more patience this time around, though. This ain't the bad old days of February.
btw, thanks for the welcome janetcanada, glad to be here, what's not to like about elephants? lol
I agree thebouch, I'd rather have this dip to the 100 to give APH some of the same spring we had in February and April than have it turn mid-range and peter out. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks - now that the incentive stocks are out the news can come out, the insiders will be happy and so will I.
(disclosure: The above statements are a complete lie and the poster would rather have seen APH go straight to $4.00 in March but is rationalizing the current price action lol !)
