Oh duhhhhhh. LOL. Thanks.
Well then, everyone will have to stop pestering them for more info.
I am quite sure both Matt and Paul feel they are damned if they do say anything, and damned if they don't.
I do understand that everyone wants them to say something SUBSTANTIAL, but that may just have to wait.
Michael....what does TSR mean?? TIA.
I hope you are right about the potential positive meaning of today's PR.
I am guessing they simply felt they needed to make a public comment, in acknowledgement of shareholders' concerns, even though they didn't really give any info.
Basically a "We know, we're working on it". "We'll let you know when we have something to say, not before."
Suggest you switch trading houses. I have never had a problem with TD Waterhouse.
Perhaps not normally, but there is this growing movement called "occupy wall street". The powers-that-be are doing everything possible to ignore them and discredit them but I suggest, at their peril.
Yes, but you had a period of being peculiarly reasonable, even positive, 2 - 3 weeks ago. I was actually worried about you.
You must be expecting/hoping for something positive.
Hang in there, son. CBAI will get rid of the chill, one way or another. There is more than one way.
Well, I dunno but even Pit is buying shares (he says). Did you feel the earth move?? No?? Maybe he's only kidding.
Betcha the DTC lifts a bunch of chills right before the upcoming public hearing into the DTC.
There was a link posted a few days ago re: the hearing.
All CBAI trading NOT halted.
Edit: TD Waterhouse fine. No problem ever, including immediately after the R/S.
I only speak for me and I don't need anyone to "let me speak", but thanks anyhow.
Don't much trust those who claim to speak for others.
Interesting potential target group......premie babies. They often have a multitude of complex problems, including respiratory immaturity and insufficiency. At the moment, we are keeping many of them alive only to suffer from a lifetime of serious medical complications.
Thanks, locks. There's also nothing to "take away" in osteoarthritis. Regeneration is what is needed.
Same in many forms of dementia. Alzheimers may indeed be a special case.
There was also a special on CBC News Network tonight on chronic brain trauma (repeat concussions in hockey players). Mostly loss of brain cells there and need for regeneration.
Article last year on hearing loss suggested that stem cells could regenerate the tiny hairs in the inner ear needed for hearing.
Don't you folks have something called "the first amendment"??
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canucks on the board and, for that matter, Happy Turkey Day to all my American friends on the board too!!
Booger, you look like you could use a little turkey, if not hair.
While it makes for great and legitimate drama to speculate about stem cells someday curing currently catastrophic diseases, for quicker returns I suggest looking to age-related degenerative diseases (vision loss, hearing loss, arthritis, and more catastrophically, Alzheimers) for the benefits that stem cells (and storage companies like CBAI) could bring to these "wear-and-tear" chronic ailments related to aging.
Governments, health care providers, and insurance companies around the world are terrified of the anticipated costs of caring for the baby-boom generation as they age. Many seniors are admitted to expensive long-term care facilities because they have lost their ability to live independently in the community simply due to some of these "wear-and-tear" ailments. The cost to the economy is staggering.
Many of these older citizens could remain independent in their homes and communities, happier and more cheaply, if effective intervention and rehab could be put in place.
OK.......as a young senior whose close-up vision is gone, and who suffers arthitis very impatiently, but still has her hearing, I am going to do Saturday errands while I can still walk and drive, and function mentally (some family would disagree on that point).
As a health care provider myself working in the field of hearing loss, there are many articles on the overwhelming frequency of major hearing loss for those over the age of 65, and I know there have been academic/scientific articles claiming that stem cells will perhaps eradicate deafness within the next 10 years. I will look for links when I get back from errands. An article on stem cells curing deafness was posted on this board a long time ago (maybe last year).
As a "leading-edge" baby boomer plagued by arthritis, I can tell you that there will be a huge market there, if proven remotely effective.
Even the temporary relief of cortisone shots is SO worth it!!
I am one of many baby-boomers who will not go quietly into that good night.
Thanks for the article, locks.
Ditto. eom.
As a CBAI investor, I am neither hopeless nor full of animosity, but then I am also not average.
Speak for yourselves. You certainly don't speak for me.
Everyone including Matt is disappointed with the PPS. Let's get rid of the chill and move on from there.
You are not the only one in your crowd, although I neither sing hallelujahs nor do I wring my hands in despair.
Agree with your philosophy.......if you can't take the heat in the kitchen, get out. It is that simple, whether it is a blue-cap or a penny stock.
If you want safety, buy bonds......although there can be some risk there too. Better yet, buy gold bars and store them under your bed.
I'm teasing you.
LOL. Yes, thank you, Paul. That is solace.
But I'm sure we would all like to know exactly when you bought (date and time of day) and how many shares for each and every purchase, did you buy at bid or ask, so that we could then speculate endlessly about what that means in terms of your need to be careful not to purchase when news is expected (or not), and so on and so on.............
Of course, if you have ever sold any shares, we will need all the matching info for those transactions too, so we can speculate about the coming armageddon.
Links will be required for all info, preferably notarized.
JK. I appreciate your posts.
I think the question of whether or not CBAI ought to take "legal action" against the DTC is simply an example of the old adage, "choose your battles carefully".
"Is it possible to fight city hall?".....yes. "Is it worth it?" is always the question to be weighed carefully. Everyone will have a different opinion on the subject.
As someone who fights city hall everyday, it is not easy to pick your battles and not easy to find consensus on any given strategy. There may be more than one way to reach the same objective. I am guessing that CBAI is looking at other ways.
My guess is that most people "invested" here or elsewhere would take a decent ROI, and worry about dignity and manipulation later.
Is this a "closet board" for the other company?? Sure reads like it. Really only a couple of posters keeping it "alive".
Yep, I know, locks. I'm a patient woman. I'll just wait for it to play out.
Smile. Gee, I dunno, locks. Stay tuned.....??
Agreed.
One way or another......amen. Thanks, Paul.
Edit: Company appears to be quietly paying down debt, growing organically, anything going on behind the scenes with CCEL, CMEX, etc, takes time. Voting in a new slate of directors at CCEL still takes time to see how new developments might occur. Doesn't happen the day of the vote.
End of 3rd quarter quietly approaching. Perhaps debt gone, or close to it. Matt has identified this as a priority for 2011. No, I don't have the link but it can be found (interview). In fact, company has been relatively quiet overall recently.
I did find the announcement of the accreditations and licensing significant. May not have had any impact on the pps but they represent part of the foundations required for doing business. Working in a field that values accreditations and licensing, I know how important they are.
I agree. I'm sorry for your pain but I like the new you and I like Matt's action today.
I don't think very many of us have been happy with the pps, including Matt.
At the risk of sounding patronizing, I compliment the entire board on the tone of the commentary today. Very pleasurable.
Not the first time this week that Pitman has reflected this new perspective and yes, it is refreshing.
We are all aware already of the negatives here. No need to rub our noses in it every day.
I appreciate everyone's more open and balanced perspective today. My thanks to all.
I also appreciate Matt's comments today. He can only say what he is able to say (or what is wise to say - DTC) but he said it.
Thanks, Matt and Paul.
And again, amen.
Auditors signed off last time on the 10K, while the chill was in place.
Perhaps you are not familiar with how auditors operate. That's OK. Not everybody can know everything.
Off to do more important things on a beautiful Saturday.
Amen. Thanks, Paul.
10K audited (annual), 10Q not (quarterly). SOP.
Bit early to say what the new CEO of CCEL is going to do.
400 shares down one day, 400 shares up the next day. Yawn.
Hmmmmm.........someone even figured out how to buy 100,000 shares right at/after the closing bell. Curiouser and curiouser.
Not speaking for me. Suggest you speak for yourself.
TD Waterhouse the same....no restrictions.
A questionable sign, in that it has popped up off and on since at least the time of the R/S. Timing of it being brought up as an issue again not clear to me, and not suggesting that you have a hidden agenda in your timing either.
Sorry, Michael. Couldn't help myself. On vacation here, with time to make trouble.
