Ok thanks,

Most here have been on this for a long long time. So we've been through the wringer on this one and sentiment is poor due to mgmt's lack of execution over the years for the simple things.

But we could finally be on the cusp of very positive announcements.
Tick tock .....

Amigo Mike

I forgot to welcome you prior cheusmann.

So ... welcome ..... I'll ask what brought you to ZIVO .... are you a very long term holder or new to the name ?

Anticipation ..... LOL ..... volume diminishing to nothing so .... at minimum looks like tax loss selling could be done. But .... no one buying in "anticipation" of very positive news.

My opinion is ..... if you "believe" this validation study will yield a positive result and lead to a licensing scenario ..... it's time to own it. Risk $1.30. Reward ? Could be big numbers.

Amigo Mike

That is part of the problem Gwinner,

NO COMMUNICATION. The PR of the 42 days study sez

. https://www.zivobioscience.com/news-media/press-releases/detail/80/zivo-bioscience-initiates-42-day-validation-study-with

For once it would be nice to see delivery on time or ahead of schedule ..... less than 2 weeks to year end.

Kinda looks like everyone is standing pat with their position at the moment. Not much trading.

And yes ... I drool over what $100 million buyout equals at this point. Risk 62 cents for possible big payday. Don't forget at those prices there will be warrants and options that will have to be exercised as well. So close but not that quite cut and dried ... but much bigger numbers nonetheless.

Amigo Mike

Just1MoreShare,

That article has nothing to do with ECSL.

International Ship and Marine Repair ... is/was .... a George Lorton company, but these properties in the article are in the Ybor City area of the port.

ECSL parcels and companies to be acquired are not those mentioned in the article. I have prior posted all of the parcel info and which Lorton company owns each. And the "ECSL" proposed properties are an entirely different area of the port.

Amigo Mike

Gwinner,

In lieu of the failure to ramp algae production .... which IMO ... makes zero sense ..... seemingly all eggs in Alimenta basket which I dont get at least in the short term ..... I'd say chickens is "everything" at this point in time. So I tend to agree with ya on that.

Mgmt has flat out stated they have algae orders they can't fill yet ... seemingly does nothing about it when contract growers can be brought on board .... doesn't have to be forever contract but until Alimenta gets it in gear, they need to cut the BS and get something done. I'm sure it might be at higher production cost but zero revenues .... is FREAKING ZERO.

The silence is still a major problem for me.

But I placed my 60-62 cents bets and will see what happens. Not the position I'd normally swing with on ZIVO but have some tickets to the show.

Ya seen the nice AG1 commercials ? Others taking over the space.

Amigo Mike

General,

There is no legit aftermarket in stinky pinky land.
Yeah, signing closing docs that doesn't actually result in a closed deal is laughable. This borders on the absurd.

Amigo Mike

LOL,

No news today ... not even a shareholder update. SHOCKING isn't it ?
After hours maybe ?? LOL

Amigo Mike

Well,

Of course. The chicken test is independent and not run by ZIVO for sure. Everyone should expect that for unbiased results.

Amigo Mike

Well,

1 thing I am sure of ...... 100% .... Maggiore believes in the algae and its health benefits. So really not a surprise to see him supporting the company still. And ... not really concerned about no news because he bought. Frankly the purchase was at ~40% HIGHER than the market price on that date (if it really happened on that date) which is totally unheard of. So if positive chicken news hits, his purchase looks like inside info but it was at a HUGE PREMIUM to market ... and ZIVO has no control over market activity .... AND ... he can't sell anyway .... should the stock rocket northward. Plus simple to show any regulator the company needed money.

HEP Investments ..... I think .... maybe .... might have a cost basis around $48 for shares that they potentially still own .... converted from debt when the Nasdaq uplist and raise occurred. I'd have to go back and look but not important to me at this time ..... but it's up there if they held all this time.

The PreMaggiore HEP Investments (Laith Yaldoo) has Dahl in there as a condition of their investment at the start. Huge mistake. A Yaldoo has no industry expertise either. So many many mistakes have been made in the oversight of this company.

Anyway ... maybe it all works out and maybe it doesn't. Let's see them chicken results ...... it is TIME.
Amigo Mike

Not necessarily true on the no news ..... but I suppose Tony will be happy. They damn sure should not be holding chicken news til January.

That 8k sez transaction date is 12/13 ..... ie. yesterday. As far as I know, the stock was never $1 yesterday .... nor were 45K shares traded. So the filing is BS.

I suspect the unregistered sale is more sales to HEP Investments people who are likely so far underwater they have to do it. Maggiore is/was a member of the HEP Investments "group" of investors. So I'm inclined to agree with you that this purchase is probably the Dec 5th sale at $1.

LOL .... two reverse splits does tend to damage the share count ..... 179K now is roughly 9% of company.

Amigo Mike

Well of course the lights are on .... but IMO ... almost all ZIVO staff are part timers.

What's Marchiando gotta do on a daily basis that takes 8 hours ?

The science ..... there's no lab where the PH'd go to work on things .... but I assume they still have the Ft Myers rental for a "lab" for Dr Belicka to go to ... who knows what they are doing because they don't communicate. I suppose what's his face Dr Harlan Miller goes there too. But other than that I don't think the science staff is full time cause there are surely no innovations and internal testing development happening.

Amigo Mike

Except for the daily chart ..... all shorter term chart timeframes down to 5 minutes have bullish crosses for the MAs I use to swing trade (among other indicators as well). The timing for the daily is still a couple days away but barring a sell off .... will signal a bullish cross as well. All nicely aligned to potential news from ZIVO. You can see the coiling I'm talking about ... but that of course can change in an instant. You will also not the main selling happened by Dec 1 .... could be sign of tax selling ... and potential buying back in come January. But who knows. That's up to individuals. I'm sure ZIVO has burned just about everyone that has bought the stock.

Of course when ZIVO opens mouth, stock usually tanks .... that has been a long standing joke ... because most PRs give no timelines, no accountability. More or less just states what already happened with no view forward or a very vague view forward.

IMO ... it would also be wise for Payne to post year end letter to shareholders .... what's on deck, what happening now on all fronts including summary of the decisions of last couple months (for Tony), what the expectations are looking ahead ... AND WHEN. Tough timing with chicken tests result pending ..... but I'd like to see chicken results posted with a look ahead (assuming positive) and then a shareholder letter shortly thereafter discussing all.

ZIVO needs to cut the silence BS and engage .... this is not difficult to do.
Amigo Mike

Looks to me like ZIVO coiling for another launch northward. Of course someone needs a reason to buy.
I wanted to buy more in the 60 cents range but I guess I cannot complain thus far.

Amigo Mike

The funny thing is ......

...... there are just over 2 million shares outstanding now .... and the float is probably around 1 million.
If Chicken test results are positive this go round ....... and an announcement of license with major animal pharma comes in behind that ..... this thing could easily run to over $20. Should actually run higher than that ..... but attach any major animial pharma name to a license here ...... and certainly could blast off.

Frankly that should get ALOT of attention .... a brand new ... NON antibiotic treatment ..... for chickens .... with added benefits ..... then ...... bovine mastitis ...... little piggies ...... and still don't know why glucosamine hasn't been challenged or sports recovery ...simple tests ..... hell I still think this would work against COVID and overall immune response.

But 2 million shares out now and selling for just above $1 ..... could be multiple bag winner for buys at these prices. The company and it's long sufffering investors need a win !

Amigo Mike

Take what to the bank ?

Dunno what was offered as that's been awarded iggy status long long time ago. I'm sure nothing offered .... nothing to take .... which amounts to the sum total of the bullish content from the ECSL mafia.

It is a shame that Lawrence cannot articulate to investors update after update what the hold up is. And IR is laughable. I'm not sure why Robertson is being paid. I'm sure he's a regular seller of shares as well since that's his comp from ECSL. But he offers zippo except a shield to mgmt that "actual shareholders" are paying for .... tossing shares into the wind for no ROI.

Time for mgmt to "close it" or be frank with "actual shareholders" on what the problem is closing this deal. I understand there are other components to the deal. I've stated that was the case since day 1 and the only way this deal happens. So need to cease with the games and let "actual shareholders" know where things stand.

Amigo Mike

Wow,

Was too busy today. Didn't see the action. Wow I would have swung out above $1.50. Guess seller backed off the under $1.00 offers.

Fun times. Just like old times.

Amigo Mike

LOL,

I think the tired old song and dance ... "deal closed" .... "this week" has finally worn thin on "actual shareholders".

Ah .... who here has ever said they DON'T want the Lorton deal to close ? N O B O D Y. But there are "actual shareholders" who don't turn a blind eye to BS when they see it and/or there is no evidence to support claims made. Pretty simple. It isn't being negative, it is being realistic. Who here would not love to see $5 , $10 or even $20 on this stock ? All silly commentary because some "actual shareholders" don't drink koolaid and given the company history ...... nobody should be drinking koolaid.

It is why best to take Mark Twain approach. I see Mark Twain went bye bye. LOL.

Anyway I hope the Lorton deal closes ..... "this week" ... finally .... but Lawrence has offered nothing.

Amigo Mike

Yes,

Interesting 8K after hours.

And is Marchiando sooooooo busy counting the nonexistent revenue from ZIVOLife sales that he can't get an 8K out til the last possible minute ???
Significant event ..... to sell stock at $1 .... and of course has to be dilutive ..... technically almost 10% of the company.

According to last 10Q >>>>> There were 1,819,523 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, outstanding at November 9, 2023.

This sale is more than 10% of the company at that share count ..... but totals 2.019.523 which magically is just less than 10% which would trigger insider Form 4 to be filed .... less than 10% assuming the investor didn't prior own any shares ...... but would be a 13(G) or (D) depending on whether they expect to influence over mgmt that I don't think needs to be filed immediately.

Sale isn't registered which also means can't be sold any time soon although the games can be played by those with the means to do it. Investor must be confident. Also not sold through clownshow IB that rips off companies and investors. No fees ... all money to company.

As always, shrouded in mystery and company shareholders last to know.

So, $350K raised in last couple weeks. Very interesting that investor would pay $1 for the shares when the price was materially not close to that high.
Someone still selling stock below $1 eh ?

Amigo Mike

Wow Slojab,

Did you really say that ???

LOL ..... and yeah yeah ..... tongue firmly planted in cheek. Sad really. Not much more than word play in thousands of worthless quips. More or useless although I do sense a change in tone.

Amigo Mike

Oh well,

1st .... welcome to the board Ohio Lake Girl. Given your screen name I might "infer" a few things about you and that you are not new to ZIVO. I see you Ihub name is shiny name just recently.

2nd ... stop that. I wanted a few more cheapies. =) But happy to see the stock at just under $1 for the moment. Run it to $2 please .... before announcement of coccidiosis results ..... and then by all means .... $10+ at least.

If you don't mind, how long have you been an investor in ZIVO and of course what brought you to the name ?? If you do mind .... no worries.

Amigo Mike

Yeah I get it,

Believe me .... I get it. If chicken test is good, the money will come ... I've no doubt. Its all riding on that test IMO. The market cap here is priced for disappearing. Problem is mgmt still not given market any reason to buy it. No way the market cap should be this low unless of course ...... it is on last ray of hope.

I am in for lunch money ... and far less than I'd normally swing with as well. I was able to buy some small lots between ..605 and .626. Someone putting a lid on it at .95 right now which frankly I think is stupid for the moment. But if bought at .50-.60 range .... I get it.

Amigo Mike

No one owning up to it eh ? LOL

.91x.94 ..... not counting chickens yet but up 50% roughly so far.
Amigo Mike

Ok,
Which one of you is not letting me scoop in some cheapies ??
