Curious why you're still positive about the expected move toward the Markman -- it's been a bummer of a stock for the last month or so, and today's trading was very minimal, as if interest is waning, not increasing.
good luck on your biotech. It's a market that scares me, and that I never play well. I was in some Parkinsons-related stocks: CYNAF (has doubled this week, without me no longer invested) and LVCLY (which I still love, but got out before a 40 percent drop, and a subsequent recovery). In general, it seems biotechs (like these patent stocks) can go up or down a lot very fast on no news, and you have to take guesses whether there's meat behind the jump/fall or whether the jump/fall is to some extent irrational.
Since I've seen some jump 80 percent, then fall the same amount on the following day (with the sudden release of a financing update), I likely would never make a lot on a biotech, as I would always end up respecting whatever initial profit I got.
As for BCYP, no clue what will come of it, but appreciate that patent plays typically have specific dates behind their catalysts (even if the dates frequently get moved back).
Belated thanks, and happy new year wishes to everyone.
A lengthy writeup on SVFC from Hotstocked:
http://www.hotstocked.com/article/72432/intellicell-biosciences-inc-otcmkts-svfc-gets.html
Tax loss selling seems to have hit GSV and PLG right at the end. Didn't hit em as hard as kaminak, BAA, VGZ, and some others -- which were screaming buys a week or 2 ago -- but GSV probably deserved the better treatment. At 60 cents, among the safest buys in the junior sector IMO -- though I wish I had some idea how big its deposit is.
any reason for the decline? a delay in the markman? thanks, and a good new years to all...
For those of us who jumped in hard during the late September collapse in VGZ share price, it seems we were a few months too early. With Mt Todd update and the January payment coming to them, as well as considerable updates from MIDAS, there should be a lot of positives coming to VISTA shareholders for a while.
thanks for update.
Hope so. I took it as a buying opportunity. Happy holidays to all.
It's now 18 million shares.
Key takeaway for me is that shareholders will be paying for furniture and other unpaid bills through share dilution. Victor is simply a crook:
As CEO and Founder of IntelliCell, my paramount responsibility is to enhance shareholder value...
Believing that IntelliCell Biosciences stock is undervalued, I will be converting a portion of my debt into shares and will continue this practice going forward.
Apologies then. The most recent Blue Calypso presentation (for the latest conference) had said it was the 6th. Hope such an error on their part does not spark hysteria and another sell-off.
thanks for the update.
Dec 6 is filing date for the response from Groupon, etc. Should make for an interesting trading day.
PDF version of LD MICRO presentation available here: http://www.bluecalypso.com/downloads/BC1213LDMICRO.pdf
A reminder that Blue Calypso is speaking at a conference today, and will have the presentation available online after it's been made.
Best of luck to all.
This is the latest miner in Brent Cook's portfolio. If you can purchase shares under 30 cents, this is a real steal. The miner is an almost safe double within the next year based on projected updates. Also, as a low cost, low capex miner with multi-million ounces, it seems to have a lot of comparable qualities with Sulliden (whose stock, at 70 cents, seems a steal). One of the safer bets in today's market IMO.
Curious, was the reply to claims construction filed today?
MYLIKES, run by young people, has secured a lot of funding too, btw.

Old suit (against Groupon and LivingSocial) that is interesting, but have no clue whatever, if anything as yet, has resulted from it: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-31/ford-groupon-pernod-ricard-intellectual-property.html
Groupon, LivingSocial, Discount Marketers, Sued Over Patent
Groupon Inc. (GRPN) and LivingSocial Inc. were sued by a patent owner claiming the discount online marketers are infringing protected technology for mobile telephone advertising.
XcellaSave Inc., based in Middle Village, New York, asks for a jury trial and unspecified damages from Chicago-based Groupon and LivingSocial of Washington, according to two lawsuits filed Aug. 29 in federal court in Delaware. It’s accusing the companies of infringing patent 8,254,894, which was issued Aug. 28.
The infringing companies continue “to create and disseminate promotional and marketing materials” and technical information in applications including the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Windows-based mobile phones, without permission, XcellaSave alleges in court papers.
Groupon spokeswoman Julie Mossler declined to comment on the lawsuit. LivingSocial spokeswoman Maire Griffin didn’t immediately return an e-mail message seeking comment on the lawsuit.
The cases are XcellaSave v. Groupon, 12-cv-1085 and XcellaSave v. LivingSocial, 12-cv-1086, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington).
Interesting excerpt found in the intro to a recent mining analyst's newsletter (from which I subscribe to):
Epitomizing the current bull market is the noteworthy story of the two founders of Snapchat, pictured below, who declined a $3 billion offer from Facebook (an $87B company) for their app. The app sends photo and video messages that disappear after viewing--that’s it: sort of a virtual auto-delete button. The company has no sales, and the founders are not clear on their business model, yet. They are thinking maybe users would pony up for stickers or coupons that they could send to each other—huh?
Can anyone point to the content-specific differences between EDVA and the critics of him and BCYP? Both seem to think there may be incredible value to BCYP's patents. Both seem to think the Markman hearing will help determine BCYP's fate.
The only difference seems to be his critics who are making weekly calls on how the stock will trade. They think (and apparently want) it to go down in December, only to rise as it closes in on Markman. EDVA and his group may actually want this too, but he doesn't make those calls (to the benefit of shareholders, like myself, who lack the funds to buy every dip, and who therefore couldn't benefit from the volatility unless they sell away their current shares).
There have been very few (though I include myself among those few) who actually thought their business could also generate millions in revenue. My optimism was based on the mgmt's past successes. This sort of optimism still makes sense for me to have, though the lack of effort, post-conference, to promote their products on Facebook, Twitter, and their own web pages suggests to me they are concentrating on the Markman right now, or else on getting acquired.
Anyway, the EDVA hate continues to make no sense to me. He brought a small company with a great patent portfolio to the attention of a lot of people when it was trading at 9 cents. The faux-critics (as they seem to like the stock too) have done nothing except keep potential jumps (which tend to happen with lots of penny stocks) contained, or else have them fizzle out before they even start (as on the day we received the initial news of the Living Social settlement).
If Mt Todd gets its permits by Christmas, the stock should experience a nice reversal. For the longest time, MIDAS was rising while VGZ was stuck at 45 cents. MIDAS collapsed mightily on no news, and I think the trading is interconnected somehow. Its collapse did seem to allow for VGZ to trade a little lower, as the MIDAS shares are now worth 30 percent less (or under 25 million of VGZ's market value now); only last Monday, it encompassed over 30 million of the market cap.
As long as the ISO trader is present, then selling some shares whenever VGZ hits 47-48 cents might make it easier to buy more shares at lower prices, and to lower one's average PPS. Also, there are now a number of other exploratory miners at ridiculous prices too. Getting more diversified among the unfairly slaughtered might be good too.
Sincere good luck to all. An fyi that MIDAS, whhose shares owned by VISTA were for a long time comprising the majority of Vista's market cap, seems to now be the victim of an ISO trader too. It has dropped about 30 percent this week, and I just noticed the 100 share trades, etc, as I was busy trying to sell stock to move money over to it.
With so many other explorers now also trading for barely more than their cash on hand (Mirasol, Colorado Resources, Ampella, etc), we're definitely in a very odd period.
Link to aforementioned SEC filing: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1399587/000151316213000867/bcyps1_2013.htm
Very lengthy and interesting new SEC filing was posted yesterday.
As a general question about IP stocks, is it routine for the patents to be minimally valued by investors until right before the Markman?
The prolonged, suppressed prices (stock didn't even jump much on first news of the Living Social settlement) makes it feel like there's some courtesy rule in IP circles to respect the wishes of "smart money" investors who do not invest until right before the Markman.
Insider buy (of 30000 shares) on Friday from CEO.
I think this is a gross exaggeration:
$235K when everyone was predicting millions.
This is a statement of fact.
People simply may have expected the 10Q to be more open than it was and that we'd have a better understanding of the Living Social settlement.
I don't think we have any real understanding of the settlement right now. Merriman seemed to value BCYP 30 cents on their Living Social settlement alone; it could be possible they're pumping the stock (as they're invested), and perhaps they are totally clueless, but it's also possible they have a greater awareness of the settlement, and that EDVA too is being honest, not misleading, when he/she suggests the settlement still might well be significant.
Twitter posts for DASHTAGG ended with the ad:TECH conference. And while that wouldn't have been the only venue Blue Calypso used to push/promote this new product, I see no reason why it wouldn't have remained one of the venues in which they used.
To that end, given the past sales experience successes of BCYP staff, I keep assuming the end game is near. Otherwise, with a new product just launched, I have to assume they would not shun free media venues to further promotion of DASHTAGG, or other Blue Calypso products.
thanks for this update...
some new analyst reports; https://app.box.com/s/meuj2mzgp02p4s5gazr9
New price targets are 40 cents from Dundee, and 20 cents from the "less bullish" one.
Re-read an early interview with Andrew levi: http://www.dmagazine.com/Home/2008/05/06/Andrew_Levi.aspx
Also read a pre-Blue Calypso interview with Bill Ogle:
http://www.argylejournal.com/functions/chief-marketing-officer/william-ogle-senior-vice-president-and-chief-marketing-officer-for-motorola-mobility-and-argyle-senior-content-associate-lily-robertson-discussed-the-challenges-of-launching-new-mobile-devices-in-a/
From above, I still find it very hard to lose any faith in BCYP mgmt or this stock.
Now trades for cash plus B2Gold shares. WIth B2Gold shares near year-lows in one of the worst years for the sector, there's a lot of upside to these shares even if their drilling does not find anything too significant.
If drilling is significant, expect an easy double from current share price (10 cents).

I realize it was finalized today, but this loan extension was announced in late September, and in no ways appeared to be too well received back then. Hopefully tomorrow will prove a different story.
At the very least, it hopefully gives Sprott some incentive to push the stock higher.
Addendum: Mylikes has indeed become mostly quiet since late 2012. Not sure if Blue Calypso's suit had a part in this, or not.
