So we're being bought out? Areva can have my shares...
...for $15 each.
Excellent Press Release!
The company needs to keep shareholders up-to-date and that is exactly what they are doing.
It also explains where their income is going; into New Product development. This is fantastic.
Six months from now we will either be in civil trial or else J&J will have settled. J&J strikes me as a very arrogant, greedy, and unethical boarder-line criminal company. Therefore, by their choice, they have become a stupid company.
Over the last year J&J has lost a number of high profile civil suits totaling way more than a Billion dollars. And there are more civil cases coming soon.
I just hope J&J has some money left when Decision Diagnostics hands them their head.
Good Luck to All Longs.

Do you happen to know the "market capitalization" for the American dollar?
If you are going to discuss XRP market capitalization in terms of the US Dollar then you should keep in mind that since 1962 the US Dollar has lost 96 cents of its value.
If the US Gov needs more dollars they just roll the presses and print more.
As far as I can determine the various cryptocurrencies are not "inflatable" as are the several feat currencies. That seems to be a major difference between, for example, USD and XRP.
Ultimately, it all comes down to Supply vs Demand.
Cryptocurrencies have been described as the "Wild, wild West" where anything can happen.
Lightbridge CEO and AREVA's VP of US Nuclear Fuel Business on Bloomberg Radio
Tune in today (12/5) at 11:45 AM ET to Bloomberg radio-https://www.bloombergradio.com/ to hear Seth Grae, President & CEO of Lightbridge and Bob Freeman, Vice President of AREVA’s Fuel Business Unit in the United States discuss nuclear fuel with Pimm Fox and Lisa Abramowicz.
Lightbridge is NOT a scam.
Just because a company doesn't have revenue does NOT make it a "scam"
If Lightbridge is successful their product will revolutionize the power industry.
It is just a matter of time before that happens.

Lightbridge CEO Says World Nuclear Market Hinges on Innovation at Bloomberg New Energy Finance Shanghai Summit
RESTON, Va., Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seth Grae, CEO of Lightbridge Corporation (NASDAQ:LTBR), a nuclear fuel technology company, said today that the speed and scope of innovations will determine the global market prospects for nuclear energy at the Future of Energy Summit in Shanghai hosted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. Lightbridge is making steady progress in developing an advanced fuel technology to improve the efficiency and cost-competitiveness of both existing and new nuclear power plants.
Lightbridge CEO Seth Grae said: "Despite rapid expansion of nuclear energy in Asia, nuclear power plants in some markets are under increasing pressure to become more efficient and cost-competitive with other sources, making innovative ideas essential to keeping existing nuclear plants operating and paving the way for new ones. Lightbridge's metallic fuel technology is aimed squarely at preserving improving the efficiency and economics of both existing and new nuclear power plants."
Moderated by Chris Gadomski, BNEF's head of nuclear, the panel also included Anton Moskvin, vice president, marketing and business development at Rosatom; Nobuo Tanaka, chairman of the Sasakawa Peace Foundation; Jimmy Wang, senior vice president and chief representative in China at TerraPower; and Ning Le, professor at Xiamen University.
Lightbridge and AREVA NP, a leader in nuclear fuel, components and reactor services, have formed a joint venture to develop and commercialize Lightbridge's metallic nuclear fuel technology; they expect to finalize the JV by the end of 2017. Since announcing plans to form the partnership in March 2016, the two companies have signed several agreements, the latest allowing them to immediately begin development work.
Meanwhile, Lightbridge is completing preliminary work to start testing fuel samples at the Halden research reactor in Norway.
Representatives from four leading U.S. nuclear utilities have advised Lightbridge since 2011 on the development of its fuel technology. One U.S. utility has signed a letter of intent to demonstrate Lightbridge fuel at a commercial nuclear power plant.

"...given away-ownership of intellectual property..."
I don't believe that is what is happening with this agreement. So maybe the "market" is wrong in its understanding.
There is still some development work to be done on the fuel rods and the casements required to install them. Certainly there will be minor changes and improvements to be made. This document acknowledges the valuable contribution yet to be made by the manufacturer. There is no substitute for actually building and testing the real product. Lightbridge can't do that alone.
The intellectual property is in the form of an international patent portfolio. You don't give something like that away via a document like this. Patents can be licensed to be manufactured or assigned to a new owner or co-owner, etc. But to my understanding patents are not something you can just give away.
IMO this is a technology sharing arrangement, but not a transfer of ownership. However, there may be new patents forthcoming from this arrangement. And if that happens the patents will likely be co-owned and based on the Lightbridge patents. As they should.
For all we know Areva may be working with other design groups who are trying to bring their competing design to market. There really needs to be some kind of agreement in place to protect all parties. To include parties we may not know about.
Patents alone don't do much except give you something to fight for in court. To mount a patent infringement case you have to demonstrate a financial loss. Otherwise there is nothing to be gained. That means you have to have a product to sell that has suffered a loss of sales. So we need to get this product to market. If this agreement helps I am all for it.
Concerning the patents and intellectual property issue, I would be far more worried of getting ripped off by China or Russia, who are historically both major violators of international intellectual property laws.
So, whatever happens next will most likely be expected but will be a surprise when it happens. I think we all know the strategy and plan going forward. But if someone doesn't know then they haven't done sufficient DD.
This is all just my opinion... Good Luck for All Longs.
The "definitive agreement" announced yesterday is a major milestone on the road to success and high profitability.
Now that it is accomplished I think the situation will develop much more quickly.
We have known what the development road map looks like going forward for many months. I am guessing that the fuel rods are being manufactured right now. They will need to build inventory to meet market expectations when the product is finally certified for sale in 2018.
It seems like the next step will be either news from the tests being conducted in the Norway test reactor, or else a definitive agreement with the, yet un-named, US utility where the initial install will take place. It has been mentioned that it is somewhere near their office in Virginia. I am guessing that it is the TVA which would mean multiple reactors, multiple licenses and installs. When it finally happens it is going to be BIG and the PPS should zoom.
I think that any money invested here is absolutely safe from loss. There is such a tremendous world-wide demand for the product that it is inconceivable that the company could fail. It is simply taking a long time to get to market. So the rewards will go to the patient investors.
I am quite curious about the selloff yesterday. I am pleased that it provided an opportunity for me to get back in. It looks like it was a big seller or maybe a group, possibly insiders. Or it could be based on that old market wisdom "Buy the rumor, sell the news".
Good Luck to you and All Longs.
I have just taken a position here at $1.01
Apparently I bought in just a few minutes too early. No matter.
This is my 4th time owning this since Sept 2016.
Looking forward to some gigantic news in the near-term future.
Good Luck to All Longs.
OK, I got my price, 33 cents.
I am out. I may be back but Bye for Now.
Well Thanks for the advise.
And if I get my price to sell out I may buy it back again after it falls. As long as it is OK with you.
It's actually a $4 stock masquerading as a 12 cent stock.
Hopefully, The masquerade will end soon.
This company is not now what I thought it was when I bought it.
I bought Laguna Blends. Remember them? A lot has changed here.
I never said it isn't "tradeable". It just isn't a good long-term investment. Not with the possibility of a multi-billion share float hanging over it. This is way too risky for me.
How do you think they are able to buyout these other companies anyway? Hint: It certainly isn't with cash.
I have my limit order in and as soon as it hits I am outa here.
Good Luck to All Longs.
"buy and forget." ??
Don't tell me... That is your investment strategy?
Well, good luck with that.
And here is a quote from that article:
"This is a company that LOVES to dilute the value of its stock,"
Enough said!
Are you suggesting that someone actually bashed DECN ...
... on this forum so that their father could buy shares cheaper?
I am absolutely shocked that this kind of thing might go one here.
Well, Learn something new every day!
I don't agree with your premise. Just because "...all of them have baggage..." you are suggesting that I should forget about this "baggage"? Excuse me but that is a ridiculous notion, IMO. I didn't buy "all of them" so I don't care about the others. I only care about this one, which I picked very carefully after doing a fair amount of due diligence.
I bought in here because I perceived it had great investment potential. Then almost immediately they issued that PR proclaiming that they had secured a $25M convertible debenture. That has changed everything.
If you bought this stock because of their product line then you have a completely different agenda than I do. Of course the products they sell might be super successful in the market. But that does not directly translate into an increase of share price. The share price will go up ONLY if investors buy the stock.
The share price is determined strictly by supply and demand. If the company issues millions more shares, thru a CD or public offering, or whatever, then the value of my shares will fall precipitously. That is called "dilution" and it is the death of investors. I am really surprised that you don't understand the current situation.
Given the size of the convertible debenture ($25 million) and the current share price, the potential exists for several billion new shares to enter the float. Just divide the debenture size by the current share price and you will see how many new shares might be coming. If the CD holder shorts the stock prior to conversion then it will get real ugly for shareholders.
And you don't see the CD and the potential for massive dilution as a problem? Incredible!
Well then, Good Luck.
"Old News" or not, it marks the start of a very destructive process.
Borrowing money certainly benefits the company. In that way they can continue their acquisition strategy.
Unfortunately, the company has seen fit to mortgage its future. And the current shareholders will have to pay the price.
Good for you, that you've been able to make some good trades. You must have bought this a while back when it was cheaper -- BEFORE they signaled massive dilution ahead.
Being a Canadian stock, their Authorized share count is UNLIMITED.
And that does not bother you?
Good Luck Trading! I wish I could join you but I am underwater for now.
"...no Idea why ... it ... does not move."
Perhaps it has something to do with this PR from August:
https://isodiol.com/isodiol-international-inc-announces-25000000-convertible-debenture-financing/
Most penny stocks that I have followed would bury something like this in their filings and we wouldn't know about it for months, or until the damage has already been done. Whereas this company proclaims it to the world in a press release as if it is a good thing.
It is definately NOT a good thing for shareholders. CDs USUALLY result in massive dilution. There is very good reason why CDs (convertible debentures) are called "death spiral financing".
In my opinion, publishing this PR shows an extreme lack of understanding what investors want. It was a major strategic blunder and it is reflected directly in the share price.
If DECN can prove damages the award amount could be tripled.
The award could be over $2 BILLION. That works out to more than $20 per share.
And, of course, that does not take into account whatever success they might enjoy from the current product line and the several new products in the pipeline. This will take time to develop.
So, you ask how high can it go? Pick a number.
I am looking for something north of $50 per share in 2020. Given everything I know about the company, I think that is a reasonable projection. I have been a shareholder since 2004.
Caveat: To get to that high share price they are going to have to bring their SEC filings current. Most likely they will do a reverse merger with a shell corporation that is a current filer. If they can find a shell with a tax-loss carry forward that would be ideal as it could be used to offset future profits.
Assuming they win the law suit, resume SEC filings, and their several product lines are successful then they should eventually be highly profitable. If they can put together three back-to-back profitable quarters then the market will assign a PE ratio. That should boost the PPS above my projection.
This is all just my opinion. Do your own due diligence.

10 Top Cryptocurrency Investors Share Their Favorite Long Term Picks
http://www.abitofnews.com/10-top-cryptocurrency-investors-share-their-favorite-long-term-picks/
On Nov17 we should have an idea IF the current law suit will proceed.
If it does then we should probably factor in 2 to 4 years of frivolous legal delays by J&J, and the following could be the Best Case scenario:
If DECN wins the suit and receives the maximum award... And if damages are proven then the amount could be trebled. That could result in a cash infusion of $2.1 BILLION going to DECN.
Given the current share structure of about 91 million shares, that would result in an increase of about $23 per share. Needless to say, a potential windfall for share holders.
None of this takes into account the potential for several other law suits against the major companies that are ALSO violating patents licensed to DECN. If filed the scenario could be repeated several times with equal success.
Nor does the "best case" scenario take into account the success of the current product line World Wide, or the future success of the several new products in the pipeline.
Nor does the "best case" scenario take into account the possibility of a very lucrative buy out based on the proven and potential value of the company. My guess is that the stock is worth 50 cents a share today, based on potential alone.
I fully realize that all of this may appear to the nay-sayers to be "far fetched" or even "imopossible". After all, it is only my opinion based upon what I know about the several opportunities that are now in place and developing. All of this is definitely within the realm of possibility.
Good Luck to all Long shareholders.

(confirmed by the Transfer agent)
powerfullogic, I know you've been a shareholder longer than me.
It sounds like you have held your shares the whole time. Whereas I have been invested only since Sept2016 and have flipped my position three times for a small profit. I currently don't own shares but I want to get back in. The SP range is way below where I have traded it before. I just don't want to buy another "falling knife". But I do want to build a long-term position at a cheap price.
I am still learning about this company and the industry. And your comments have been most useful. Apparently it takes a whole lot longer to get something accomplished than I ever anticipated. This has been a real "eye opener" for me.
The company is making money on consulting fees. And, I hope, also on speaker's fees. Take a look at their list of PRs. Most of them are about who is giving what presentation at which upcoming nuclear industry conference.
As far as license fees go I would assume that they would have to have a real product in order to justify that. I would assume the pending tests would take years to complete, since regular fuel rods take years to be consumed. So there may, very well, NOT be a real deliverable product until 2021. After all, they just said this in a PR.
Good Luck!
Interesting tidbit from their latest PR...
"The irradiation testing program is being structured at the Halden reactor and US commercial nuclear plants in parallel to demonstrate operation of the first Lightbridge fuel rod in a commercial reactor in the US as soon as 2021."
Duh..." as soon as 2021." ??
In my opinion that's not "soon" at all. I've been a shareholder since Sept2016 and it was always my understanding that installations would happen a lot sooner, like in 2018. It was also my understanding that the tests in Norway would happen last March. But there was some sort of technical problem at the reactor site that had to be dealt with. So I expected a delay. But this is getting to be ridiculous.
So the first opportunity to earn royalties on their fuel rods will be late in 2021, or 2022 (maybe). I am personally very disappointed to discover this now.

From the chart, it looks like a Golden Cross happened yesterday.
That's when the short-term Moving Average moves above the long term MA. It is generally a very bullish sign.
As shown here:

So you're complaining about what the press release DID NOT SAY?
Why not focus on what the PR did say?
I think it is a great PR in that it indicates more progress.
Just my opinion...
"NO CPA with a shred of integrity would put his name to DECN's financials. "
DUH! What?
So you are speaking on behalf of ALL CPAs in the world?
Are you a CPA?
Do you even know how many CPAs there are? I doubt it. Yet you are saying definitively what they would do or wouldn't do.
Incredible!

Patients will be tested individually at the clinic.
In my opinion, there is No need for every diabetic patient to have their very own meter.
The most important factor is that the strips ARE available so that they can be tested.
"...third quarter will be more impressive"
Right, Just impressive enough to sell more shares.
Their earnings are not audited so we'll just have to take their word for it.
This is a great stock for flipping.
Nice start on the day, up 38 cents shortly after opening.
Then it gave up more than two-thirds of the gain in the PM. OUCH!
Finished up only 8 cents,
Give it a week and it will be right back down around a dollar.
Great stock for flipping. There is no real trend here, unless you consider sideways a trend. However it does spike hard periodically.
I've flipped it successfully three times since September. I missed this event but I will surely catch the next wave. At the rate the story is developing there should be plenty of opportunity for repeats.

I understand that a Convertible Debenture is an alternative to banks.
But it is a very bad choice. And there are other sources of credit. I believe that this is a potential company killer.
If they don't borrow any money from the CD then no problem.
But if they do borrow what ever amount they get is translated into common stock at a nice discount to the market price.
Surely, the lender would like to get the best return on their loan. That means getting more shares than less in the conversion process. So they accomplish that by shorting the stock to force the market share price lower. Then when the "conversion" takes place they get a whole bunch more shares than they would have otherwise.
The key issue is the shorting of the stock following the payment of the money and prior to the conversion. Normally, to short a stock you have to "borrow" shares in advance to cover the short. But a working CD serves just as well because shares will be forthcoming soon after the short is put on.
I know I am "preaching to the choir" here. You know very well what king of irreversible damage a Convertible Debenture can bring to a company that does not have the re3sources to defend the stock. Maybe Isodiol will use the $20M to buy back their own shares after they go sub-penny. Anything is possible.
I have been investing almost exclusively in penny stocks since the early 1970's. I have seen a lot of companies destroyed by the "death spiral" of share price that results from a CD. I have learned to avoid CD's like Ebola. I have only been a shareholder here for two weeks. Now that this CD is in place I am looking for a quick exit. There are tons of opportunities in MJ penny stocks that don't have a CD.
Good Luck.
