Looks like the Cowen short/dilute ATM machine may still be working.
I'd like to know actually if they are diluting but IR at Vericel does not answer shareholders questions.
Just have to wait to see what happens...
60 Million up front and close to 700 million in milestones ($30/share) with no chance of dilution, and potential market in the tens of BILLIONS... trading at $5?
Seriously???
This should be trading around $30- right now.
Giddy up 2017!
Get in now or be kicking yourselves when institutions load up and it's jumping $5 a day!
Guess we should have NOT gotten FDA approval. EVOK failed a phase III trial and the stock is UP 30% WTH?
We get FDA approval and tank 40%.
Unreal.
MM's ALWAYS, ALWAYS Protect their SHORT Hedge funds that I am CONVINCED they provide the price they are going to drive the stock to.
Seen it happen too often to be a coincidence.
They see all the stop loss orders and inform short groups where they are going to drive the share price to so they know when to cover.
Short Attack Dog companies are a MM's friend.
Probably MM's laying cover fire so their corrupt institutional short hedge funds can cover.
VCEL still trying to recover from the stock dilution "Blunder" one day after Monumental FDA acceptance.
Market loses trust in a company that has paperwork already ready for a dilution 40% under where shares are trading and they didn't even give it a day for the market to react.
Takes a while for investors to come back after a self inflicted wound like that during tax loss selling season. Some investors move on.
Also, VCEL came out with no justification for the move and has gone silent.
Gotta wait it out for now, and until Piper and Cowen (their "Friends" quit diluting/shorting).
Maybe Management will buy some shares to restore some investor trust.
Also, I have emailed VCEL 5-6 times general questions with no response. Pretty unprofessional I'd say.
Still long though and waiting for a 10-bagger this year.
True.
Vcel also expected to be profitable this year.
Multi billion $ potential here not some phase I company a decade away from anything.
Why is VCEL trading at a MC of 75 Million with FDA approval in hand, 3-5 year head start with no competition and products potentially worth BILLIONS?
Cowen and Piper shorting and holding it down for pennies when they could be putting clients in for MILLIONS?
This should be trading at $20 RIGHT now.
VCEL website list tons of sales positions being hired nationwide.
Happy 2017!
to $50 in 2017!
Kinda curious it's trading at $5/share (mc 125 Million) when pure garbage out there trades at 10x the MC.
Most likely EOY tax Loss selling and BIO's out of favor and getting dumped.
Hopefully that changes tomorrow..
Here's to a great 2017!
2017 10 bagger stocks..
Enjoy..
KTOV
VCEL
CNAT
Happy New Year to you too.
Exciting times ahead !
Like your 1 year price target too.
What is it going to take for KTOV to be taken seriously and reach full value.
What basically 10 million shares out and 18
Million in cash this is trading around cash value with a market in the hundreds of millions (at least) this should be trading around $20 right now.
Frustrating to say the least.
Does contract with Novartis exclude another company from buying out Cnat?
Why didn't Novartis just buyout cnat instead of possibly paying them close to 1 billion in milestones and future revenues?
I'd take $30-40 per share right now.
RF - what price would u expect. I think with revenue now at 60 million and probably profitable this year and exponential growth in revenue per ceo expecting hundreds of millions and fda approval at 25 million shares -- would at least $20-25 be unreasonable?
Ktov is a potentially billion $ company with only 7 million shares outstanding.
Any volume would move it into the $20-40 range very quickly.
Their 2017 approved drug worth billions, fda nda submission coming in Jan-feb, patent protection until 2030 and ex fda execs leading approval procees.
Worth 500 million mcap at least which would be $50. Talking tonbp
About buyouts supposedly.
Vcel anticipates 500-1b in potential sales Atter Dec fda approval and a phase III trial coming soon.
Heavy buyout candidate too with no competition for 3-5 years.
CNAT Also a billion $ company with a year or 2.
Market doesn't know about first 2 yet but gotta get in bf the herd.
Similar competitors selling for 10x the price. CNAT TO $50 in 2017.
This should be at $15-20 right now. Probably not due to bio's being on the outs right now + holiday + EOY tax loss selling.
Bio rally starts on Tuesday.
Trifecta of 10 baggers for 2017 = VCEL, CNAT AND KTOV.
Enjoy.
Institutions moving in now and next week.
This will be the best stock in 2017.
$50.
Book It!
$50 stock on sale for $6.
Novartis will buy them out soon rather than sharing the wealth.
Institutions loading up for the run to $50. Massive blocks bought today by tutes and funds. Happy 2017.
No Brainer...
No Float Left.
Buyout coming - probably be $25+ IMO
Bought back in on Friday at $2.85.
Can anyone explain the trading in this stock. Of all the ones I track, I do not see any other trading at .05 increments. My hunch is, after watching trading that somehow MM's are shorting at the ask and buying at the bid all day long and pocketing the .05 difference.
Can VCEL request this (price fixing in my opinion) be terminated if they deem it to be hurting the company?
Early in the trading day about 500k in large block bids go in and very little at the ask but the bids never go up and eventually, after those
shorts are done, the stack of bids disappear without filling and price drops so shorts can cover.
Either that, or a large institution(s) are selling (institutions recently sold over 2.5 million shares in the last quarter, and the MM's don't want to dump it in larger quantities.
Additionally, I'm still concerned that after waiting for years to get final FDA approval, they diluted and are possibly still diluting 1 day after FDA approval. If they waited a few weeks, the share price would most likely been between $5-10 and not the $3 it's trading at now. This would have reduced the amount of dilution greatly. This alone may be keeping investors away. With so much good news recently, I wonder why Vericel could not/would not find a partner to assist with financing MACI or Phase III Heart research.
And one other thing... I have sent about 6 emails to Investor Relations with general questions over the past 2 weeks and have gotten NOT ONE reply. Very disconcerting to say the least and no way to treat shareholders.
Let's hope they have a very good reason to stay so silent and for these actions over the past few weeks.
When all appears ok, but market doesn't react - this leaves ???'s.
With everything going on, I believe this could be a multi billion $ company down the road and a potential buyout candidate. Anyone else believe this.
In a few years the earnings should be between $5 and $10/Share and the stock price over $50 at least? Everyone agree?
Thanks for your responses..
Piper and Cowen tag team shorting this dilution and institutional
Dumping and will probably cover under $1.
Always happens when mgmt decides to undermine their own company at 40% under share price at time
of dilution.
Management has decided that company is not worth more than $2.50 and most likely not even worth $1 after piper and now cowen dumping newly printed shares that no one wants.
if shares had any value, insiders would be buying but they aren't. Says all you need to know about this
Pump and dump.
Stay far away and thank me later when you don't waste any money on this junk.
Perhaps that's why it's dumping with no end in sight.
Later...
I was in but took my loss and moved on.
Took an FDA approval for a potential multi billion $ market and squandered it with an ill-timed unnecessary dilution they will probably use to pay executive bonuses at shareholder expense.
Typical OTC move.
Wish you well though.
Why was VCEL Mgmt in such a hurry to dilute at 30% UNDER the current share price during the height of tax loss selling season. Surely it could have waited after the first of the year.
Share price almost cetainly been over $5 on the FDA news alone and they probably would have only had to dilute 1/2 as much.
Shows no concern for shareholders. Anyone else have a good reason for such quick, non-logical action. They have tainted the well for the short term anyway.
Dilution should have been done ATM over time on their terms not Pipers terms who is reaping the rewards (at $2.50/share) at shareholder expense.
They probably shorted around $4 knowing dilution wss coming at $2.50.

Looks like this one is heading back down under $2.
No interest and possible 5 billion shares added to OS.
OUCH!
Looks like they really "TOOK CARE OF SHAREHOLDERS".
Just another say one thing and do the opposite pinky.
Glad I stayed away.
Feel bad for those that believed.
Seen it happen a million times with these types of companies. Tell shareholders they are looking out for themselves but do things that make no sense and then DO NOT FOLLOW UP to explain WHY they did it.
Time to short it, since it will turn into a stock printing machine.
What happened here?
From $4.50 to $3.60 and dropping like a rock!
Bad News Coming?
Just trying to
Get reasonable answers not vitriol from the board.
None of the stock screeners I use list any institutional ownership or insider ownership which is very curious.
No one here seems to know either.
Common sense say that if KTOV has 10% of what it claims, stock
Would be trading at $30-50.
Additionaly, NO INFORMATION exists on insider buys and institutional ownership.
Anyone know?
Wasn't this at $4.50 a week ago?
Now $3.50 and crashing...
Why down over 20%? Bad News Somewhere?
Was thinking about getting in, but now not so sure.
Wasn't KTOV at $4.50 like 2 days ago?
Why is it crashing and burning like this (-20% in 2 days?).
Bad News Somewhere?
Nope. It's Mr. "NO DILUTION" Randy who is giving SPHS a bad name. Promised no dilution and then promptly DOUBLED the amount of shares in 2 months with NO EXPLANATION.
He said in June the dilution was to pay off loan which wasn't done.
This will bleed every day until under $1 as all crediblity is gone.
Why hasn't a SINGLE Insider (MANAGEMENT) bought a single share in FOUR (4) YEARS?
Ok by me..just hold onto this sinking ship, and continue to be lied to.
Down 50% now and heading back under $1. Good Luck with that.
I just don't believe I was so gullible to believe in a CEO who lies (found out after the fact), and sat on a loser for 3 months.
Enjoy your losses, moved over to NYMX and HTBX (winners) and will have made back my SPHS losses ...
Wow. Now down close to 50% since the INSANE DECISION to dilute at 30-40% UNDER THE CURRENT SHARE PRICE.
I hope they don't pay Oppenhemer a cent (taking shareholders money and shafting them with it).
Hard to believe SPHS Management is this incompetent or unconcerned for shareholders as to shaft them this bad. Glad I dumped this garbage yesterday. I've said all along that it was strange that for all Randy's happy talk, he has NEVER SPENT HIS OWN MONEY BUYING A SNGLE SHARE WITH HIS OWN MONEY - ALONG WITH HIS MANAGEMENT TEAM.
This company will be bankrupt in 2 years or on the OTC with billions of outstanding shares. Now they are officially nothing more than a management get rich scheme while investors lose everything. By the time trials are done, the patents will have expired.
What DOPES. Randy and his team have ZERO, NO CREDIBILITY LEFT.
Once again, why was Oppenheimer engaged at great expense only to tell them to double the amount of shares? I could have told them this 4 months ago at less cost.
I count no less hwn 6 times Randy has lied to shareholders over the last 4 months.
It's over now except for the lawsuits.
Sad
NEWS OUT...
SPHS IS THE BIGGEST LOSER ON THE ENTIRE NASDAQ EXCHANGE TODAY.
What a joke. Now Randy has doubled the amount of outstanding shares in the last 3 MONTHS.
Not the news investors were expecting.
He'e giving shares away now after saying in June he WOULD NOT DILUTE.
In May they said they were moving ahead in a "Non-Dilutive" manner then 3 days later they diluted on a Friday after the bell. They said again recently they had funds to get thru most of 2017 so no need to dilute and here we go again. Since May they've added 50% more fully diluted shares after saying they wouldn't.
Looks like they have no idea what they are doing. Laid off staff, now hiring them back after givng them large sevrence packages.
We need some explanation but they've gone dark.
This is some shady stuff that usually happens on the OTC market.
This is not what I was expecting after waiting so long for some good news
I'm out today at a loss.
Hope you do well but this just doesn't feel right wth me and there are other options out there with companies thet don't pull these kind of actions
Later
I think you are wrong but I hope you are right.
We will see. A lot of people want an explanation on why they did this after saying they wouldn't, but no one from the company will answer the phone or investor emails.
I fear the worst as people move on after waiting months for good news but got shafted.
