I second that....if I could buy at that price I would be buying in a heart beat.
Yes, marketing and sales are crucial and could maybe be addressed more in the IR videos. At the same time there are so many competing priorities in getting this company off the ground with relatively limited resources, things take longer to put all the pieces in place than many imagine.
Ultimately it is a question of time and if you believe the underlying business model is sound CTDH makes for an excelent (long-term) investment.
Long term prospect is what is important, not short term speculation or price movements.
WSR came in after Corner left the company. There was some time afterwards with steady and even increasing share prices but could be attributed to residual effect of his previous work. Since WSR was hired the only visible things they produced is the research paper.

Satellite Guy and board,
Since starting working with CTD Holdings I have spoken to exactly ONE investor from this board who has actually taken the effort to contact me with serious inquiries (and it was not vanBoten).
The 80/20 rule is obviously at work at this message board as well with regards to the ratio of what can only be described as wishful thinking to actual insightful postings. (Ironically, vanBoten's comments fall in the latter category and I invite you to contact me).
There is only one reason for me to spend any time whatsoever on this board and that is because I (still) believe that this community can potentially play a role as early adapters in helping us get the word out as we are moving forward with our plans to aggresively grow this company.
As such, having a strong board with an intelligent discussion is not only in our interest as a company but for all those of you who are looking for maximum returns on your investment as shareholders. If that common benefit is understood it is remarkable to see what can only be described as a propensity for meaningless banter and wishful thinking.
There have been multiple comments which appear as complaints about multiple aspects of our company including our investor communication efforts, even though me or anybody else in this company is only a phone call away. C'mon gentlemen and ladies, you have a resource at your finger tips and so far have chosen not to use it in favor of pure conjecture.
All of you know the major events we have previously made public in our company announcements: the hiring of Dr. Tate, creation of in-house communication department, purchase and outfitting of a factory, etc. etc.
It is investing 101 that any substantial positive change of a stock price (including ours) will come from future growth. The pieces I have mentioned above from our public statements take time to mature (surprise, surprise) and I would imagine that any serious investor be the first one to realize this.
Again, the value of this board is directly related to the quality of the conversation and it is my sincere hope that going forward it will serve to be a true resource for anybody interested in CTDH as an investment.
If anybody has questions they are always welcome to contact me, Dr. Tate, Mr. Strattan, or anybody else in the company. We will be happy to answer any questions to the best of our ability within the limits of what we can legally disclose. I or anybody else from CTDH will not however engage in the conversation on this board directly.

I would not respond to this if I wasn't hundred percent sure that I have not spoken to anybody called van Boten. Please refrain from using my name for the purpose of building credibility.

CTDH is NOT interested in limiting itself to JV projects with just the University of Florida. Below is a link to a scientific paper using Trappsol Cyclo material from one of our grants in aid.

Ksuave and others,
My absence from the board was not by accident as I was leashed in by the higher powers to be after some concerns regarding the legality of any CTDH company postings on this board. This prevents me unfortunately from making any statements about any future events (planned or otherwise). I will be able to announce events AFTER they have happened and will do my best to post them here.
The best thing to do is to SUBSCRIBE TO THE CTDH YouTube CHANNEL (not perfect but that's what we have to work with for now).
We are working on creating the news content you all have been waiting for (please understand the above limitation).
As far as the production quality of the videos is concerned, they are NOT mend to be slick looking videos and there only purpose is to provide relevant information NOW. And that is exactly what we will keep on doing for now as we keep moving ahead.

CTDH VIDEO
I am finishing the editing on an interview I did with Dr. Tate (President/CEO NanoSonic Products Inc.) and will have it ready and uploaded by next Monday. I will make a formal announcement when it is ready for viewing.

Palacian, thanks for your questions...
please be more specific about what question you have about the "share structure". THX
David Corner

I will try to shoot video this Friday and have it uploaded beginning of next week (hopefully Monday). Will have at least a video on the new manufacturing facility and hopefully the interview with our President assuming he will be available this week (if not I will make sure at some other time).
I will also ask him the questions you posed (academic/corporate JVs, etc)
Please post specific questions so I can ask him directly and don't have to guess what is important for you.
David Corner
CTD Holdings Inc.
Since this is a response to my post, just so I understand correctly. nice info means you would be interested in those videos?
New Factory Video / Interview NSP President
Please let me know by commenting here or emailing me directly at: david@cyclodex.com if you would be interested in a video tour of the new plant facility and/or interview with President of NanoSonic Products Inc. (CTDH subsidiary).
If there is enough interest I will do my best to put it together.

You are right in that pro-active communication has been lacking and that a lot of things could have been done better. We are in the process of developing an integrated investors relationship program to address these issues and provide you with the information you not only need but deserve to help you in your due diligence and decision making.
Does this mean everything is going to be perfect overnight? Of course not, but there will be a sincere effort to improve and service your information needs as best as possible.
For now the best I can do is what I promised in my earlier post (please read). Right now we are focusing on creating an analyst report and are planning to deliver on the following down the road.
- Videos (manufacturing plant, company introduction, president presentations, etc)
- Webinars and Teleconferences
- Online investor portal with updates / posts / etc.
- More aggressive press release activity
- etc.
I am sharing this to give you an idea about what we are working on and what is on the drawing board. The analyst report is our first priority right now with a early December deadline after which we will focus on the other to do items.

Clearing up the dividend issue
In December of 2009, Vistra Growth Partners (VGP) was sold back to Lou Weltman, the President of VGP for a dollar. Mr. Weltman was not re-elected to CTDH's board of directors for 2010. While only one company paid Mr. Weltman in stock for his services, that stock (by contract 50% to Weltman; 50% to CTDH) was given no value by CTDH's auditors.
As a result, this stock could not be dividended out to shareholders of CTDH as was originally agreed in the contract creating VGP. It seemed a waste of money to CTDH to go to the expense of providing dividends that had questionable value and could provide no financial benefit to the parent company.
If you still have any questions please give Mr. Stratten a call at 386-454 0087.

SOME ANSWERS
MANUFACTURING PLANT
The manufacturing plant is currently being made ready. This includes basic remodeling of the administrative areas as well as the production facilities (creating lab area, storage & manufacturing areas, etc). We have updated all of the electric wiring and finished a lot of the interior partitioning. Obviously more needs to be done.
The date of September has obviously passed. Barring unforeseen problems, we are currently shooting for the plant to be in production in March 2010 ready to product our first batch.
I am planning on creating some videos (facilities tour, etc.) to give you the visuals to make it more real and understandable.
STOCK DIVIDEND
Please find the press release in question to verify my answer. There was never a question of stock dividends. I believe you may be referring to a stock by-back.
David Corner
CTD Holdings Inc
You are absolutely correct. We are in the process of setting up a program to better provide you with the news you need (and deserve).
EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CTDH
My name is David Corner and I am responsible for creating the in-house investor relations program (which has never existed before really).
There are many things which are on the planning board which will take time to implement. I am really curious to understand better the needs of the investor community here so here is my invitation to you all.
POST THEIR QUESTIONS AND I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE TO GET THEM ANSWERED.
Looking forward to hearing your questions.
WHY NOT GIVE HIM A CALL?
