How's the surfing in Colorado?
And we have neither today.
And you will be surprised how many investment houses have bought into this stock. It's an emerging business and Matt is positioning HIS company to be successful.
I really only care about one thing. For as many of you as possible to make money on this stock. I truly believe it's an unbelievable opportunity.
GLTA
IMO, you are a very smart person. This is a sure thing. GLTA
Zero risk IMO. What is acceptable? Too me, it would be .10. I'm a retired CFO. So I don't play charts, I play fundamentals. Dr. Geoffry John O'Neill is a noted stem cell authority. He is also the head of our new Lab. There are all kinds of ways to make money with stem cells. Selling collection and storage is just one way. I said in my previous post it may be time to sell in the next year. I said that because to me, market cap is the most important number and we could see an outrageouse market cap in the next year. Dilution ends. No debt. Acquisitions. New revenue streams. There is no way once the dilution is done you can buy three shares of this stock for a penny. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. A sure thing. No risk. It's just a matter of market cap exceeding reality. In the long term. Then time to sell. Before next Thanksgiving IMO. GLTA
I own other stocks. And I consider this a sure thing and not at all risky. My girlfriend and I each own 10M shares. At a dime we're both millionaires. My prediction was no later than Thanksgiving of 2010 and I still believe that. And before you say you won't sell for three years, that may be the right decision but you know how these penny stocks can go way past reality once they get on a roll. And at that point it might be time to sell. GLTA
None of us are selling. Just Nite. And by Christmas we should have a good start. But just a start IMO. GLTA
I'll drink to that. lol
Wise1man, let me set the record straight for you. This thing is being diluted. Matt has said over and over again paying off the debt is the #1 goal for 2009. So unless he has a magic genie he is raising the cash thru dilution. Not a great thing but maybe not a bad thing either. Once the dilution is done, which I think will be around November, this thing will fly past .0037 so fast you might miss it if you aren't following every sell. Plain and simple IMO. GLTA
The anger is because everytime anyone is frustrated for lack of news you label them as calling this stock a scam. I haven't read that in any statements other than yours. So stop critizing people for being concerned. GLTA
You're becoming a pain in the butt. I can't remember any of us saying this is a scam. You keep using that word. We just would like to know what is going on since they committed certain things that haven't happened. Take your criticism of us somewhere else you dick.
Alibi, thanks for the pics of the Lab and your agreement on the quality of this investment. Below is a copy of a post I made on this Board a few weeks ago and Matt's response as I sent him a copy. I don't think he would mind me posting this:
"Thank you for posting this. I certainly think you are on target, but cannot confirm or deny."
All the Best,
Matthew L. Schissler

I just posted this on the Ihub website. I think you would agree this is possible but no answer needed. Take care.

IMO. For people looking for a great investment. This stock is a steal right now. Imagine the following:
First of all, Matt (Cord Blood CEO) has never had the buying power he has now. He almost has a clean balance sheet and he has $7.5M of equity funding available whenever he needs it. The dilution will soon be over. They have the new Lab and got a great price for it, immediatly improving the gross profit. Say this shows up in the 1Q 2010 results. He is currently #4 of 20 competitors according to him. So he will either be trying to gobble up smaller companies or at least offering leasing services to those currently storing stem cells in other places, or just getting started like all these new stem cell banks popping up. They will for sure be cash flow positive by 1Q 2010. And as I posted earlier they will save 15+% of revenue once the collection patent expires March 2010. So I predict they will be profitable in 2Q 2010. Any positive EPS will guarantee this stock will reach at least 15 times multiple or at least $.10+ a share.
Now if you bought 10M shares today for about $30K, once they obtain a postivie EPS this stock will soar to at least 10 cents a share no doubt. With a $30K investment equalling 10M shares, at $.10 you become a millionare. I say no later than September 2010.
Other thoughts welcome.
GLTA
Fellow investors, don't forget that the 15+% of revenue they pay today for royalties ends March, 2010. So I say the real fun begins 2Q 2010 when they could be profitable for the first time. Who here doesn't believe this is an easy triple, quadruple, or more profit opportunity by the end of the year this year? After that, the skies the limit. Anyone disagree? Can we simply agree this is an awesome investment? Good. Now GLTA
I don't think this stock is going lower than .0030 for any period of time. Nite has had many chances to take this lower and everytime he sits back and waits for offers to go up to .0030 or higher. I'm not sure why. But it's clear he wants the price at that level and no lower. Yesterday we hit .0035 and if Nite hadn't been there it would have been over .0040 in no time. Look at the volume. There is still tremendous demand. And you better time it right cause this thing could easily double in a day when Nite is done. IMO. GLTA
Couldn't agree with you more Pitbull. I own 10M shares and my girlfriend has 10M shares (I bought her some - lol). I just keep telling her not to judge this stock till Chrismas time. And to really judge this stock next Thanksgiving when we will have mucho to be thankful for. We're long and strong on Cord Blood. IMO. GLTA
PS: Matt seems like a great guy.
Kip, I see this stock as a sure thing. You can't have too many shares so keep buying and IMO, longterm, your payoff will be huge. And on this day, 9/11, I salute you and all our armed forces. Thank you for your service. GLTA
There is really only one way to view this stock now. Potential. In the meantime, the higher the daily volume the quicker the dilution ends and once that happens we're off to the races. GLTA
And here again is the lie as posted on the Arete website by Chucky:
"We have engaged an auditor to complete audits on our 2006, 2007 and 2008 financials. With the intent of getting current staying current and keeping our shareholders informed of past and current financial information."
They can't even afford to pay the taxes on there only asset. The pipeline. So how can they afford to retain an accounting firm? A blantant lie!!!!!!!!!!!!
GLTA
All I know is Oilmansays hasn't posted one piece of DD on this Board. I truly doubt he has any. And I think he predicted news last week. Wrong. GLTA
Nite is not letting this thing go below .0030 for more than five minutes. I don't know about there credibility but Matt can do a lot more with this company with a clean balance sheet even if he has to keep diluting. For one he can start financing collection and storage cost once the patent ends next March. His sunk cost for collection and shipping at that point will probably be about $500. So he can charge $500 for collection and charge $250/yr for storage instead of $125/yr. They need to lower the upfront costs to customers to get more people committed and a clean balance sheet will give them that flexibility. And the equity financing and Lab will allow them to buy competitors helping to grow revenue. I could care less about credibility. Once the dilition is done and all the good things start happening as I predicted in a previous post, this stock will be nowhere close to three for a penny. GLTA
Thinking about it if you look at how much debt Matt has retired so far this year it's a little less than $1M a month. Given that there remains about $2.2M of debt after his most recent announcement, I think you could assume the selling will end around November 15th. About when 3Q results will be published. Hopefully there will be an announcement before that which takes this thing a little higher and could reduce the time it will take. IMO. GLTA
Matt's not going to keep selling for long. He has said once the debt is paid off these cheap shares will be gone. And we know after the last announcement subtracting that from the balance sheet they have about $2.3M debt remaining. I don't know when the selling will end but I think fairly soon. Nite is not letting the price go below .0030 pretty much and there will be plenty of announcements coming that will create more demand. But the only timing I feel good about projecting is that a year from now if not sooner this thing will be at .10 plus IMO. And I think there is almost zero chance of losing money. I like those odds for sure. GLTA

For you longs, on a previous post I pointed out that today Cord Blood has to pay 15+% as a royalty for every dollar of sales including storage fees due to a patent. Well I now know that the patent expires March, 2010. That means that the second quarter for 2010 will be a waterloo moment in terms of earnings. With the end of that and the Lab fully up and running 2Q 2010 should be a great start to positive EPS. GLTA
Oilbull my friend, I hate to have to inform you of this but the quote that you posted as relating to the current purchase is old. Very old. It has the exact wording but is from the Tom Raabe days. See the link below.

I think what you meant to say is "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar".
Just like last time, I ask for some of your DD and you go silent cause you have nothing to offer.
Did you say you had a degree from Harvard? I don't think so. You obviously have a reading comprehension problem. I own this stock because I believed management would do what they said. They haven't. So like all of us I'm praying for a miracle. I asked for your DD on First Diversified. You've offered nothing. Do you have any real DD to offer?
Oilmansays, I'm really getting tired of you pumping this stock while offering nothing but stupid videos. We all know oil prices are going up. But right now Arete owns zero oil wells and if the deal was so great why haven't they found a funder yet? And I'll give you a lie. Below is a quote from Chucky on the Arete website. They can't afford to pay the property taxes of there only asset, the pipeline. How can they afford to retain auditors? So a lie. And if you doubt they haven;t paid the property taxes, here is the phone number of the Campbell County Property Tax Office. It's (307)682-7266. Just ask them if Arete Industries has paid there property taxes yet that were due in May? If you have anything of value to offer, lets have it? Otherwise, you're just like all of us, hoping for a miracle. GLTA
"We also stated that we intend to have all filings complete by the end of June 2009. We have engaged an auditor to complete audits on our 2006, 2007 and 2008 financials."
You said you had checked out First Diversified. I searched the internet for them and found little. You would think Arete isn't the only public company that had used them but I didn't find any similar announcements other than Arete's. Please share. Thanks. GLTA
Maybe so Oilmansays but I just checked and they still haven't paid the property taxes on the pipeline. The pipeline they bought from PRB, who right afterwards went bankrupt. I even called this week and verified the taxes are past due since May. Every weekend I hope that the next week will bring news. Yeah I know things take time, but they have truly been trying to get funding since August 2008 when they first announced this deal. GLTA
So Oilbull, where are the filings? GLTA
Did anyone else notice that someone bought like 40M shares just before the close? Hopefully that eats up some of the dilution. GLTA
Can you post a link please?
And they already have a 50%+ gross profit. Another event that happens next year that is substantial is the expiration of some patent that Cord Blood currently has to pay something like $300+ per sale for today. Per one of the filings that patent expires next year but he didn't give an exact date. That cost is inflating there marketing expense line today. Below is the quote from the recent filing.
Pharmastem
In March 2004, Cord entered into a Patent License Agreement with the holder of patents utilized in the collection, processing, and storage of umbilical cord blood to settle litigation against Cord for alleged patent infringements. The
Patent License Agreement calls for royalties of 15% of processing and storage revenue, with a minimum royalty of $225 per specimen collected, on all specimens collected after January 1, 2004 until the patents expire in 2010.
Yes, Matt is very careful on what information he gives in an email. He doesn't play favorites for sure. GLTA
Here is a tidbit of information for you and something that has me totally puzzled. Maybe one of you has a thought.
Matt does not like Nite. And Nite is obviously handling the selling of shares for Tangiers. It appears that Nite is for some reason holding down the price and not letting it run. Why? I would think he would want to get the highest possible price for each share?
Any thoughts?
GLTA
Per the last earnings statement he had about $400K still due on the CorCell deal. That was included in his Accounts Payable line since it is in default. And beyond that the balance sheet only showed Total Debt: $3.9M. But I'm not sure about the Put Option he mentioned in his Aug 5th announcement that he stated was the only debt remaining.
Beyond that he still can raise cash thru the Tangiers deal which per Admentment 1 I'm concerned he may be locked into now. That was a $4M sale of securities of which some has already happened. And he has the $7.5M equity funding thru Optimas. And he can do a share deal if he chooses with any perspective acquisition.
If he will explain the Put Option debt then we will have a much better understanding of what debt is left.
GLTA
That's a good question. I reviewed the balance sheet and couldn't identify the debt Matt said on August 5th was the only debt still outstanding. Write Matt and ask him. Not sure how he will respond but he will respond. You can find his email at the Cord Blood site.
"With this debt retirement, CBAI has only the put option agreement obligation with SIOF remaining on its balance sheet."
GLTA
The next big announcement IMO will be an acquisition. Matt needs to start filling up his Lab that will open in October, and grow revenue. GLTA
