Listening to the earnings conference call was interesting. HIVE seems to be very undervalued given their revenue growth and bottom line.
Great news---in the US and EV. And kind of centrally located for minimizing shipping costs.
iRobot--are you now clear about the November granting of shares vs. the conversion of shares? And that insider CANNOT sell those shares in November? That the earliest that insiders can sell any shares is 12 months from the date the company becomes fully reporting--which has not happened yet?
Rabies in the news...in the US

An Illinois man who awoke to find a bat on his neck weeks ago died this month in the state's first human case of rabies since 1954, health officials said Tuesday.
The Lake County man, who was in his 80s, found the animal on his neck in mid-August and declined treatment, but a month later he experienced symptoms of rabies and died, the Illinois Department of Public Health said in a statement.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the diagnosis Tuesday.
Only one to three human rabies cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Once clinical symptoms appear, the disease is almost always fatal, according to the CDC.
The man in Lake County suffered symptoms of rabies, including neck pain, difficulty controlling his arms, finger numbness and difficulty speaking, the state health department said. A bat colony was found in his home.
"If you think you may have been exposed to rabies, immediately seek medical attention," the health department's director, Dr. Ngozi Ezike, said in a statement. Ezike and others said they hoped the unfortunate case would raise awareness.
A vaccine can be given after exposure, and 30,000 to 60,000 people in the U.S. get treatment every year, the CDC says.
In the U.S., most rabies deaths in humans come after exposure to bats, according to the CDC, but any mammal can get it. Other common wildlife vulnerable to rabies are raccoons, skunks and foxes, it said.
Worldwide, rabies causes the most deaths in Asia and Africa, and dogs are the primary source of transmission to humans, according to the World Health Organization.
Connect the dots... Mid-Atlantic Bio-Therapeutics and CUBT have a partnership for their rabies drug.
Prediction--we will see news on this rabies drug sooner rather than later.
A little bit about rabies from the Wold Health Organization (WHO):
Rabies
17 May 2021
Key facts
Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease which occurs in more than 150 countries and territories.
Dogs are the main source of human rabies deaths, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans
.
Interrupting transmission is feasible through vaccination of dogs and prevention of dog bites.
Infection causes tens of thousands of deaths every year, mainly in Asia and Africa.
Globally rabies causes an estimated cost of US$ 8.6 billion per year
40% of people bitten by suspect rabid animals are children under 15 years of age.
Immediate, thorough wound washing with soap and water after contact with a suspect rabid animal is crucial and can save lives.
Engagement of multiple sectors and One Health collaboration including community education, awareness programmes and vaccination campaigns are critical.
WHO leads the collective “United Against Rabies” to drive progress towards "Zero human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030".
Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease. Once clinical symptoms appear, rabies is virtually 100% fatal. In up to 99% of cases, domestic dogs are responsible for rabies virus transmission to humans. Yet, rabies can affect both domestic and wild animals. It is spread to people and animals through bites or scratches, usually via saliva.
Rabies is present on all continents, except Antarctica, withover 95% of human deaths occurring in the Asia and Africa regions. Rabies is one of the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) that predominantly affects poor and vulnerable populations who live in remote rural locations.
Approximately 80% of human cases occur in rural areas. Although effective human vaccines and immunoglobulins exist for rabies, they are not readily available or accessible to those in need. Globally, rabies deaths are rarely reported and children between the ages of 5–14 years are frequent victims. Managing a rabies exposure, where the average cost of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is currently estimated at an average of US$ 108 can be a catastrophic financial burden on affected families whose average daily income may be as low as US$ 1–2 per person1
Every year, more than 29 million people worldwide receive a post-bite vaccination. This is estimated to prevent hundreds of thousands of rabies deaths annually. Globally, the economic burden of dog-mediated rabies is estimated at US$ 8.6 billion per year.

If China wants to take out the Chinese companies out of the compeition for bitcoin mining-- have at it.
Less competition for mining machines if China is outlawing bitcoin mining in China.
Organic growth, I agree, is needed to prove that they have growh prospects beyond BUYING revenue.
All the crypto miner are suffering from the China Syndrome today.
Repeat after me--Insiders CANNOT sell in November. They were vested, iRobot. Not converted.
"One last time! November preferred were vested. Not converted. if you cannot understand this difference, please consider not "contributing" here."

ONE LAST TIME, iRobot.
Vesting and conversion are
not the same. November is nothing. Nothing in this story. Next May is the earliest time insiders can sell.
Capiche!@??
We have gone over this before.
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=163684218
No one seemed to be impressed with their presentation at HC Wainwright.
One more time. Insiders cannot sell any of their shares in November. We have gone over this before.
Looks like it is trying to put in a base.
www.thelion.com has Tweets, Stocktwits etc.
If F could start reporting strong month to month EV sales numbers, we could see new highs soon.
Stocktwits is talking about CUBT this morning. Just need some news to get thing going. Over .13, and we should see .18 to .20.
It is tough to be patient.
What is the share count?
Slow and steady==without gaps-- is better than spikes.
Discretionary press releases usually will be held until after Labor Day when permissable.
OK. Done.
CUBT up 37% in past 5 days
I was 70,000 of that bid. Day order only. That is obvious...trying to avoid a large order print and higher trading volume total.
Totally agree. News coming by Sep 15
Tempting chart to trade.
Trades for this coming week: RGBP, CUBT, BABL, IKT
Amazon Web Services disables ISIS propaganda website it had hosted since April
Craig Timberg and Jay Greene
The Washington Post
Aug. 27, 2021
Amazon late Friday disabled a website used by a propaganda arm of the Islamic State that celebrated the suicide bombing that killed at least 170 people in Kabul on Thursday after The Washington Post reported the extremists relied on the company's technology to promote extremism.
Nida-e-Haqq, an Islamic State media group that distributes Islamist content in the Urdu language, had been using the company's dominant cloud-computing division, Amazon Web Services, to host its content, despite company policies against working with terror groups.
Some of that content included messages about the Islamic State-Khorasan offshoot that claimed responsibility for the lethal attack, said Rita Katz, executive director of SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors online extremism and discovered the link with Amazon Web Services. Urdu is widely spoken in neighboring Pakistan and occasionally in Afghanistan itself.
The Nida-e-Haqq app on Thursday carried what it claimed was an image of the bomber wrapped in a suicide vest ahead of a blast whose victims included 13 U.S. service members, further marring the American pullout from the nation after nearly 20 years of war.
" (F)ollowing an investigation, we have disabled a website that was linked to this app as it was in violation of the AWS Acceptable Use Policy," Amazon spokesman Casey McGee said in an emailed statement send late Friday after The Post reported on SITE's findings.
That policy bars customers from, among other practices, using the cloud-computing service "to threaten, incite, promote, or actively encourage violence, terrorism, or other serious harm."
The source code for the app, Katz said, shows it draws words and images from a website for the Islamic State propaganda arm. That website, whose content is password protected and could not be directly reviewed by The Washington Post, has been hosted by Amazon Web Services since April, according to online domain records.
"It's just mind-blowing that even after all these years, ISIS could still find a way to exploit a hosting company like Amazon," Katz said. "Of course, we should presume that ISIS will always be searching for ways to bypass security protocols, but this app isn't even trying to stay low-key. It is blatantly filled with official ISIS claims, media and logos of ISIS' media arms, clear as day. This app was clearly created to keep ISIS' message and content alive and distributed online. . . . It is clear that the stakes of keeping such content offline is no less major than in past years."
Amazon, like most American technology companies, has policies prohibiting Islamist terror groups from using its services. (Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
Amazon took a stand in January against Parler, a social media site popular with supporters of former president Donald Trump, severing ties over the site's failure to adequately monitor hate speech and calls for violence related to the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol. The move knocked Parler offline for weeks and sharpened political debate over the power of tech companies to determine what appears online.
But enforcement of the policy appears to have failed in the case of Nida-e-Haqq.
One reason may be that Amazon hasn't often proactively policed the content of customers - many of which run widely used commercial websites such as Airbnb, Yelp and Netflix. Rather, its Trust & Safety team, which has fewer than 100 workers, acts only on complaints received.
Despite the size of that team, Amazon is the dominant provider of cloud infrastructure services, which let customers rent data storage and processing capabilities over the Web instead of running their own data centers. AWS, which competes against Microsoft and Google, held 41% of the global market in 2020, according to the market research firm Gartner.
I cannot post a stockcharts.
Can you post one? It the data is off, I would appreciate a chart on CUBT if you can post one.
This trading action on Friday is VERY positive. Higher volume, no selloff at end of the day, Form 10 is "more than imminent".
Chart will attract other traders. Must break above and close above .13 to leave resistance behind...until .18.
With any positive news out of the company, CUBT could hit .18 shortly.
JMO
News should be coming out after Labor Day.
It it breaks a dollar. look out below.
Next time we have a high volume close on the high of the day, we start another positive trend.
KNDI just cannot seem to get into DRIVE.
Wish I knew how to value book value of a startup biotech.
