I live in Ohio, do a lot of outdoor activities, I'm a frequent visitor to the lake.
Unfortunately, Lake Erie--like the other four Great Lakes--has been treated like a giant cesspool for the past 300 years. The result is now painfully obvious: fish and wildlife dramatically down, rampant algal blooms like the one causing this Toledo water disruption, even very high counts of E. coli and fecal coliform.
It's a friggin' mess.
In answer to your specific question: reverse osmosis will remove about 80% of blue-green algal toxins. But that possible remaining 20% is not good for you, and, the algal cells can actually damage the RO system.
Here's a link with some rather technical explanations, if you're interested: http://epa.ohio.gov/ddagw/HAB.aspx#114700-basics and then click the PDF link to the right: AWWA White Paper on Algal Toxin Treatment.
Thanks much, I appreciate your input.
Thanks.
Any idea on what caused today's action?
Now I have it. As soon as you mentioned the SPA I understood the PR. Thanks much.
To the best of your knowledge, what are the main differences between AMRN's Vascepa and ACST's CaPre?
I asked a very knowledgeable and friendly poster (a doc in this field) the same question on the AMRN board.
mcbio,dew- thanks much, just wanted to confirm that.
j.- Good to see that you're still posting, hope everything is going well.
By any chance are you familiar with the Acasti Pharma(ACST) product named CaPre? If so, how does it compare with Vascepa?
TIA. -ob
I was looking at a company PR in which they said that the results of a Phase II trial is part of their discussions with the FDA to obtain approval [bold mine] to conduct a Phase III trial.
Question: I thought that no approval is necessary; if a company wants to do it, no matter what the Phase II results, they can.
TIA
Jaytea- I will be glad to.
I already have one basic question that someone here might be able to help with:
According to the company website, the COLT trial was to assess the safety and efficacy of CaPre in mild-to-severe hypertriglyceridemic patients. And the TRIFECTA trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of CaPre in mild-to-severe hypertriglyceridemic patients.
What's the difference between the two?
TIA
Thank you, sir.
I hope that the board logically and unemotionally looks at facts. IMHO, irrational pumping/bashing equally diminish a board. Considering both the bull and the bear cases--substantiated by evidence--helps both camps.
With that said, I might as well be truthful: I am very keen on the chart position of ACST and happy with my purchase @ .98. I am less sold on the science (in 2011 I did very well with almost the exact same sentiments about AMRN before they announced the results from the ANCHOR trial.)
But I'm going to research (started the other day) and hopefully will become more familiar with the ins and outs of the TRIFECTA trial. If I get more enthusiastic about the science, I'll hold through. If not, I'm expecting a decent run-up to September but probably won't hold for results.
Best of luck to all.
Got your message, agree 100%. A logically presented bull or bear thesis about a stock--backed up by facts--is always helpful to both camps. Incessant bashing/pumping is useless.
Agree 100%. "Objective points of view that contain substance" is the key.
Best of luck.
Then we're on the same page!
I never wish anyone to lose money. It's incredibly difficult for retail traders to make a buck in today's world of robot trading, so we're all in the same boat.
I'm also very careful about saying to people, either overtly or by suggestion, "That's the stupidest trade I've ever seen and you're a friggin' idiot." As you well know, many on iHub are not so polite.
I think that the civil exchange of bull and bear theses helps everyone in the long run.
All IMHO: sanctions will not change Putin's situation, that's going to have to come from within Russia as a result of their internal politics. Supposedly, at least on paper, they still have "free" elections and the people vote for their leaders.
Putin knows this very well. It's one reason that bit by bit, very gradually over the years, he's deliberately guiding his country towards the old Soviet model and away from the West.
Not so much "a call" as an interested observation.
I've lost track on this one, but if I remember you are not actually an owner of HUSA but are just tracking it for a good buy point?
See #msg-104844473
One's personal interpretations--not to mention hopes and desires--should not be confused with facts.
Over & out on this.
For goodness sakes, again: today's PR says no such thing.
ACST- A new one for me, in this morning at .98.
I usually like to believe in the fundamentals of the company's service or product, and like where they're at on the chart.
For this one, I like the chart but not 100% sure about their krill oil-based cholesterol drug. I'm just going to play the run-up to the results announcement in September, and sell early.
In this morning at .98 even. Best of luck to all!
BAA We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, my friend.
As has been done with many, many companies, they could dilute the hell out of it and say that it was the only way to avoid BK, therefore enhancing and preserving shareholder value.
BAA- They did not say non-dilutive financing. The PR says, "We will continue to work with our key stakeholders and other parties as we examine all financial options available to us at this time and I believe we are making significant progress toward a holistic financial solution."
ACST- A new one for me. Just started a position @ .98.
HUSA- Still dropping, now at .30.
BAA We get the picture. I own the stock and find these sort of non-informative, repetitive posts annoying. I can only imagine what others think.
OT: Don't mean to ruffle anyone's feathers (people become possessive of stock boards as if they are family members. They are not.)
All IMHO: posts like "oh my gersh LOL" and for the umpteenth time "BAA is getting ready to skyrocket" provide no usable information or insight and are equally worthless.
Mods on any board should clear that sort of junk off the deck.
HUSA- I expect it to fall below .30 some time next week.
At that point, I'm going to watch it closely. I'd have to see a fair number of days at some consolidation point (.25 -.29) before I'd jump back in.
All IMHO, of course.
Exactly. The first step in any assay is sample preparation: crushing and pulverizing rock samples and specimens. It was here that the mistake was made: MDM designed the plant to the specs they were given.
I believe--I could be wrong here--that Banro itself did the initial assay.
HUSA Totally IMHO, wait until the .20's. EOM
From my Twitter stream today:
God ?@TheTweetOfGod
I think I should start over again.
We're in agreement in general, or I suppose we wouldn't be communicated civilly on this board.
However, I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're traitors to the country. I think that they have a fundamental misunderstanding and/or ignorance (lack of knowledge) about many of our laws and our history, even if they themselves feel that they're uber-knowledgeable.
By the same token, I don't think that they hate America with a passion. Again, I think that they have a mistaken idea of what America really was and really is and instead live in a world of never-was and is-not-now. They hate reality.
Thanks for the prompt and polite answer.
What prompted my post was a puzzlement over whether the reserve dollar amount per ounce of gold in the ground compared to the share price was an actual metric commonly used, or simply a personal opinion about BAA's current share price.
I think that the court's Hobby Lobby ruling was terrible.
That said, it referred to closely-held corporations. What closely-held corporation is owned by Satanists?
FWIW: A good board should include factual information and fact-based, logical conjecture. Both bull and bear arguments are useful.
Repetitive, off-topic bashing that includes no new, relevant or useful info is against the iHub TOU and should be removed.
You'd have a better board.
Got ya', thanks.
One of these days it won't be just a coincidence, which I assume is the reason you keep track of this statistic.
If this ever dips below $10 on no specific bad news, just a general drift, I'd be a big buyer.
Dew: Re no 10b5-1 selling since 5/25/14. Wasn't there an even longer period a couple of years ago that turned out to be nothing significant? Just curious.
