I actually doubled up before approval. With a 16-1 advisory vote, I took a chance of full approval. If most of the analysts are correct, should see $10.
Many people cite "news is coming". Any particular reason for anticipated news or is this just wishful thinking?
Agreed. If you thought that this stock was worth investing in before the FDA approval, why would you not think it is a good investment after FDA approval? KingDMC - why was your post from Tom Silver deleted? I thought that was good unbiased info.
KingDMC - Thanks for the informative comments you posted by Tom Silver.
Nice post. Good to know that most are independent and are looking in the range of .001 - .004. That's an easy double and up from where we are today.
Thanks. Your explanation helps me understand the process.
Thanks for your response. Yes, this is my first stock that is up for FDA approval. Got into some bios a few months ago trying to see if I can make some bigger bucks than the typical return. Bigger risk but potentially bigger rewards. Also bought PGNX, CLDX, DVAX and MACK.
CRL? Sorry but I don't know what CRL stands for. Many people have referred to it. Like everyone else today, I was starting to count my money when it hit +.60 and thought it failed when it dropped $1.00. But then saw where games were being played. I kept my shares and based on all of the info out there still believe it will be approved and will hit $8 before reductions. Look for $10 by May if approved.
If it hits the $6 range, I will hold for better price. If it hits $8, may sell half and hold the rest. My thinking is if approved, potential to increase is worth holding to see how far this can go. If approved it will increase, then fall back due to profit taking, then will gradually increase until it starts to level out. Too early to fold em.
DVAX Price Targets for 2014. I looked at three stock analysts that gave price targets for DVAX and took the average. Yahoo Finance - $4.50; Investors.com - $5.00; NASDAQ - $4.00. The average is $4.50. Don't know how accurate they are but all are in the same range.
AQR sticky was actually posted on 11/15/13, I had the wrong date. I think the article was trying to show a strong position in IDRA by AQR, but didn't see any link.
Anyone know why the AQR stickie posted on 11/13/13(?) was posted on IDRA board. Article has largest investments made by AQR but didn't see reference to IDRA.
Thanks! Good run today. Start the new year over 2 and think of 4+ by EOY.
Nice article. Can someone stickie this? Or, how can I print a copy? I don't know how to do either from iHub
The flip side is the stock has been at .0001 since I bought it over two years ago. Not sure why it went to .0012 then dropped back to the .0002 range but at least it moved from .0001. At .0002 I have doubled my money and the fact that it has shown some movement from .0001 makes me think it may move up from here. There does seem to be a lot of activity concerning acquisitions so let's see how far this can go.
Thanks. I recall the PR but didn't put the symbols together. As you said, that may not be the symbol anyway. It's been a long wait so I can continue to wait some more. No hurry but when you see some real possibilities, it does get your attention.
Can't find GESC on Yahoo Finance. How can I find out about it?
Ha Ha. Gotta laugh a little. Although I'm a supporter of AAPT trying to make a few bucks, that was good. I keep hoping for some of the big announcements to finally pay off. Walmart didn't really make the stock move and still waiting for 7-11, Tractor Supply, and now Albertson's to have an impact. I did invest for the long haul so I'm prepared to give it some more time.
Good post. Makes sense as to why such made up comments are posted. You can usually see through them as they are usually not based on realistic thoughts. I buy a stock based on its potential and I am always patient to wait for it to mature.
Good news about Albertson's. Anybody have an update about 7-11 or Tractor Supply or any other outlets?
Agree with both you and stallion. I loaded up two years ago and just patiently waiting for something big. If it doesn't happen will take a loss, but the reward is worth the risk.
Well said! Penny's are a long term venture. I have had TGGI for over two years and bought when it was .0001. Now at .0002 so I have doubled, but I didn't get in for a small increase. I'm prepared to wait until it hits .001, that would be a 10 bagger which is why people invest in penny stocks. If it looks like it may go higher, just extra frosting on the cake.
Where's The Nutrabars
As a long time shareholder of AAPT, I would like to see AAPT be successful so I can actually make some money. As I hear reports of all of the locations where Nutrabars are, I have only found one location that I can verify so far. Walmart has built a half dozen superstores in the Delaware area during the last few years that are very reachable for me. Only one has stocked Nutrabars. That location is Rehoboth Beach, DE. Three other new stores that were built in the last five years are in Middletown, DE, Dover, DE, and Elkton, MD and do not and have never stocked Nutrabars. I have mentioned them to the store managers but they just say they never heard of them and they will look into it. So far, after six months, nothing stocked. Last week I visited two Tractor Supply stores, one in Middletown, DE and one in Harrington, DE, and neither one had Nutrabars. As much as I would like to see something positive, I am becoming more realistic that it is doubtful that Nutrabars will be the success that has been touted.
I know everyone (including me) would like a "get rich quick" scheme, business or stock. I have owned TGGI for over two years at .0001 and after two years it finally has made some progress. It hit .0014, then went to .0008 and now at .0004. Give it some room to develop. I'm looking at another two years and then see where it is. Remember, patience is a virtue.
I go way back with Peachman. Still own 40M shares of AMNE. Two years ago I bought 40M shares of TGGI at .0001. Last week TGGI hit a high of .0014 and finished at .0005. Big moves are happening with several M&A being done. Good CEO. So, like Peachman have made up any losses from AMNE but will continue to hold hoping for anything above zero. GLTA.
What is the opening ask?
Agree with your analogy. I bought 40M @ .0001 2 years ago for potential with a green company and hardly looked at it. Then last week it started to climb and finished at .0008. Waiting for "news" before I do anything. May sell some to cover costs but think this has much higher potential.
I've had TGGI for 2 years at .0001. Bought then thinking of potential down the road with Green products. Looks like potential is coming to fruition. Vaguely recall some relationship with AMNE. Curious if anyone knows of any history with AMNE?
Anyone care to say what the "news" is supposed to be about? I see where many people are talking about a news release and PR statements.
I have been in with TGGI for 2 years and have waited patiently for it to take off. The move that it is making is unbelievable. Can anyone say why it has taken off so far so fast? What is behind making it move so much? Any expectations about how far it will go before it slows down?
I share your thinking for investing in AAPT. I posted a few weeks ago that if you want a safe investment, then buy IBM and KO. If you want to risk your investment with potential for a 5-10 fold reward, then pick a reasonably good penny stock. I only have 1M shares compared to your 2M, but it is either sink or swim. I bought with that in mind. I also wish management was better but they have done some things well, like getting Walmart, Amazon and others ( if they actually will carry the products). Hate to loose any money but that's the risk part of risk/reward.
King - Just read your reply to Rockout. Apparently we had the same question to you. If it is a confidentially issue, I can accept that. Whenever I talk with Joel I always ask if I can share our conversation and he has always said yes. Probably not detail stuff that you talk about. That being said, I'm sure that you can understand why many readers scoff at your " inside info" since you aren't specific. Of course some inside info for stock trading is illegal and I'm sure you and the officers are careful not to cross that line. I am still on board. I wrote a post a few days ago saying if anyone wants a safe stock, then buy IBM, WMT and KO. If you want possible high rewards for associated high risk, then buy penny stocks. AAPT seems to have good potential with good products with great distribution outlets, so I am staying long. If it tanks, it tanks and I loose some money. However, if it takes off (sales or buyout) the potential to greatly multiply investments is very good.
King - I also call the company and usually talk with Joel. Whenever I do, I post what we talked about just so everyone has the same knowledge that I do. Even though I am a long termer with the company and usually agree with your comments, you do leave everyone suspect when you say you talked with the company but don't share what information that made you feel positive. I think everyone wants to know what's going on and if you have "good reasons" why the stock price has dropped and why the future looks bright, you should share them.
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I did not say AAPT was a good investment, I raised the question whether is was. That is why I said, if you want a safe investment buy IBM, KO or WMT ( which I own all ). If you want to gamble and risk some "speculation" money, then go with a penny stock that seems to have product that consumers want. AAPT seems to have some good entry's into market which is promising. It may well tank but the potential is there. As for buy out, if the product is good then I can see a big company willing to take on whatever debt in order to get the brand. I raised the question is AAPT a good investment to simply raise the issue of risk/reward.
IS AAPT A GOOD INVESTMENT?
I have owned AAPT for over a year. I bought it because I thought it had good potential to double (or more) my investment. Being a penny stock I knew there would be risks, but in my opinion worth the potential rewards. So far it has performed below my expectations, however, this is a boom or bust stock. It may implode or it may explode into major returns. The prospects look good with Amazon, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Circle K, 7-11, Military Exchanges, etc. The real potential is a buy out. If a big company buys out AAPT, potential for several multiples of original investments. I view this stock as more of a speculation than a pure investment. If anyone wants a safe investment, buy IBM, KO or WMT. If you want the potential to double or triple your investment, then stay on the ride with AAPT.
Good news with Lisa's letter announcing entry into military Exchanges and finally completed contracts with Circle K. Things seem to move slow (and the share price even slower), but when you look at accomplishments the last 6 months, I think the future is encouraging. This year alone, products are available in Walmart and Amazon. Add Circle K now that contracts are finalized. Waiting to be finalized are 7-11 and Tractor Supply. Military Exchanges just announced. If all are successfully negotiated and contracts are finalized, that will be six more outlets for AAPT products than they began the year with. In my opinion they are doing something right to get products in these organizations. I think any company would be happy with this type of progress. With product growth, share price will follow, either on its own or through acquisition.
I am under the impression that Joel is the Investor Relations person. His number came up on someone's post so I called him the first time about 6 months ago. The call today was probably my 4th in the last 6 months. Seems like there are a lot of rumors being posted, like one a few weeks ago that said Joel was no longer with the company, so today I called him and got the answers that I posted. He said that he has been with AAPT for 5 years and has no plans to leave. He certainly sounds credible, gives straight forward answers without embellishing. In fact he seems conservative with his answers. My first call was before Walmart announcement and all he told me was hey have a contract with POs with a large national store. A few months later he told me that they had a contract with POs with large convenience stores (AKA Circle K and 7-11). Today he said they had a contract with POs with a large pet store that he couldn't name at this time. I usually believe people that I talk to until they prove that they can't be trusted. So far, Joel has been on the money every time, so I trust him. His direct phone number is: 310-689-7357 and he usually answers on the first ring. Give him a call and feel him out.
Joel Update - To paraphrase a famous American author, Joel's departure from AAPT has been greatly exaggerated. Just talked with Joel and he is still with AAPT and still has promising news about AAPT products. Circle K should be carrying AAPT products within a few months. Similarly with 7-11. Both are part of a much larger corporate structure and gearing up to carry new products require computer, distribution center, shelving, etc configuration before products are in the shelves. He didn't say which ones, but said one changed how they were going to display the products from strip hangers to shelving and the other went the other way, from shelving to strip hangers. 25 Tractor Supply stores have POs and a "to be named" pet chain have given POs. Can't name the pet chain until later. So, by my count, they have WalMart, Amazon, Circle K, 7-11, and a pet store chain. Not bad for the first 6 months of 2013.
Anyone talk to Joel today?
Anyone who calls AAPT today, please post what you found out. I see where several have said they will be calling. No reason for everyone to call for the same info.
