Yes they installed the AlfX 4 quarters ago and they made the decision to go with the ALF over DaVinci per the recent CC. Mind you at full sticker value. They have over ten units in various hospitals and more sales are expected over the next few quarters.
That eerily calm before the storm. Did you guys sense that the market was dead this morning? I don't have level 2 or anyway other than yahoo to gauge current sentiment and volume, but it seems like everyone is just waiting for it to happen. Maybe it is just me.
VVIX just turned positive while the VIX was red and most indices.....could be the start of the downturn. All that buying of TVIX this morning.....something is up. I think Oil is headed lower.
You guys see where Trump said to sell everything.....even your 401k holdings?
I must agree that a new car depreciates faster than TVIX; however on a more positive note.....there looks to be some big green spikes on the volume chart.
Hoping for a quick pop to the 1.40 range before the split and I will split too. But, I think Im done today. This thing is like torture. I can't take it....even if it is just a small amount. I try to stay mostly conservative and I gamble a touch here there trying to see how people make money at it; however, It always comes to my senses, quickly, that it is not a healthy way of living.
A lot of big buys down here.
I holding out for the oil report. If it is bad as I think it is it will send the market down a bit.
There has been a great deal of buying at this 1.12 range....so that is telling me that there is a chance of higher reserves. It is worth holding on too on the chance of losing 5 more pennies. God, I going to feel so relieved when I sell this destroying dog.
We shall see here in a couple of hours. We could see a huge increase in reserves maybe 1.5 million barrels. And, that would throw the Dow in a spiral down.
The VIX has been green many times today when all three indices were green. I think there is something to this.
I think many are waiting on the DOE oil report.....this afternoon. There has been some buying today....so there is some hope. The sad thing it could be mislabeled and misinterpreted, thus, used as a rallying cry.
The hint of higher rates makes the dollar stronger; e.g., increases the odds of a Chinese devalue.
Yesterday when REITS and Miners were trading poorly was wondering if some rate hikes news was imminent. That could also be a head fake to manipulate a impression of the impossibility of a recession on the horizon. They need to raise them but they cannot afford to take that chance.
Draw-downs will make or break us today. Looks like they revised them down 400,000 so they if it breaks that plane it will be seen as a positive.
Well, I think the Asians/Europeans buying up all equities are what is artificially propping them up as underlying support. Timing, is everything and I think I was just a couple weeks off. I want out of this thing so bad....makes my skin crawl.
God, I hate this dog. This surely is no way to live. One, can't even walk away from it and one can't leave a stop because they suck it up. Just about ready to pull the trigger and wipe this little fiasco off my mind.....never to return.
Get ready for the Energy Dept Drawdown Hammer!
I think they have around 75 million cash. Was referring to the fact that they have spent 50 million getting ALF ready for market and sales. Bet we see another sale Friday.
Read somewhere tonight that the base in Turkey is/was under attack.
Yes I do Rufus. There just is a part of me that still wants to believe that the market is legit.
Hard to believe.....the SnP sitting on lifetime highs and there is talks of us losing control of our nuke base in Turkey, oil in the gutter, possible wars with China and Russia, the EU is on the brink of financial collapse, and the entire world is saturated in debt. Southpark needs to do a episode on this. How can there be minimal volatility? Crazy!
UEC will be a good one down the road. Japan bringing units back online and new nukes scheduled. Might take 18 months to wipe out the saturated market. Just might see you then. Good luck
There was a lot of selling today into this rally. Sorta spooks me a touch.
Razor, you are well aware of the underlying reality that TRXC just bought ALFx 4 quarters ago and the firm that build ALFx didn't have the hundreds of millions it takes to market such a product. Heck, one has to have their ducks in a row in this game.....nobody wants to spend two million on a outfit that wont guarantee production and service of the software and tooling. Tooling and future purchases of it are a huge aspect.
Stocks likes these are going to fly soon. Time for Bio-Medical to have their day in the sun.....while the rest crash around them.
We need a strong close......force them to buy futures baby! Hold!
Marathon will be the one to buy when it as all said and done.
I think were going to see Oil bust through support soon and head to the low to mid 30's rather quick, thereby taking the SnP with it. Rinse and Repeat till crude hits 29.
Much of that Derivative Junk was forced on DB by the CB's in 08-09. At least that is what I heard several years ago from another.
Wow, with 52% institutional ownership and 43% insider with 6 million short and 115 million shares outstanding.....this is going to fly when the sales come in. My gut tells me one or two more sales are in the works. Bet those on the sidelines will evaluate the new model at the training center and make a decision.
Surgibot De Novo approval US/EU this year possibly, as well as, ALFx FDA legwork being setup.......Opportunities like this don't come by every day.
Wow, I wonder if this will effect the value of this product? We just might have our catalyst. Funny, silver and gold are down. Moreover, most futures are trading a touch up and Europe is trading fine.
Nobody seems to want to give up the goods on what they think will be the catalyst; hence, my conjecture. Since something is supposedly about to happen this week. And, the Brits could/will do a big cut with QE and that should throw the dollar higher, thereby, sending oil to the tanker, so to speak.....possibly taking our indices with it. And, eventually the higher dollar will force the Chinese to devalue.
A organization that told me years in advance with dates when the silver/gold fix would cease and change (and were right on the nose)......said the other day that things are going to breakdown any day......capitulating smackdown. Who knows....we shall see. Funny what a difference a week makes. We might just wake up one day and see futures down massively.
Whats up with all the warrants that just went into play?
Whole Foods is a awesome store.
Ole Greenspan had a few periods of of STAGFLATION, back in the day.!
I wonder if the Brits cutting rates possibly tomorrow will spike the dollar which will force the Chinese to devalue? Just a idea, speculation you might say.
Had one highly intelligent currency guru say that by the end of the week gold could rise exponentially. Have seen him correct on many facets, as well as. a few miscalls.
Oh, that ALF was sold to a research training center in Italy.
Could you please elaborate on the canary in the precious metal mines? Do you mean the canary is dead in the mines or that it is telling you that miners are the way to go because of currency dilution?
I wouldn't be surprised if they announce another sale by the end of the week. And, I think they announce plans for FDA approval of ALFx and EU approval of the Surgibot. I think they should go to Europe first for the surgibot and use that data to fill the FDAs needs.....since the EU is less stringent.
Buyout rumors are going hype this up now.....VERB, ISRG, et al.
Wow, what a difference a day makes. If you look at my previous posts....I noticed that trading patterns were behaving a little better a week or two ago; however, I think a blind mute could have came to that conclusion because of the potential here.
They have two units, i.e., one is called ALF-X which has had EU approval for sometime, but was a product of another firm that didn't have the finances to bring it to market; the second is a derivative of their original spider that was reworked for the haptic/3-d robotics and since the original was FDA approved they tried to fastback through without trials and the FDA shot it down.
Now, the ALF-x has been in two hospitals in the EU for some time performing hundreds of surgeries building data for FDA approval and it looks like they just sold their first 1.5 million dollar unit. Frost and Frost Gamma were invested with the original owners and when his shares were unrestricted he sold into the rally; I might add.....he did so in a few others at the same time, like PGLC. When it rallied to six I could tell that someone was selling but I just speculated that it was ATM sales and the company was raising extra cash (they have 75 million free cash too). Have seen Frost keep his shares a few times before after his shares were unrestricted, so I never ever dreamed it was him. I think he was selling a few things to stiffen up his pup OPK. As you investigate.....you will see several lawsuits from those who bought in that were misled; however, most have proved invalid. The ALF is similar to ISRG Intuitive's product, but the ALF posses haptic feedback (which simply means the surgeon can feel and sense the information) and the ALF has greater 3d capabilities.
The beauty of the SURGIBOT is.....it is easily set up and can move from room to room with ease. The surgeon can be scrubbed in with the patient (which is a major positive) and it costs only a half a million. Both the ALF and Surgibot tooling is much cheaper and reusable (unlike the ISRG's Davinci). And, the benefits of these types of surgeries are post op healing (time in the bed) times are extremely mitigated as well as insurance liabilities. Less tooling, less incisions, less potential problems.
Friday is earnings and I would be willing to bet they announce their goals of obtaining FDA approval on the ALF and EU approval on the Surgibot. It should spike up through the week. This sale makes TRXC a buy out for many will have to wait several years to get a product this far......Googles VERB or ISRG to suck up the patients. ISRG has had total market control for decades. This could be a Amazon or Netflix moment.
Friendly tip.....TRXC just sold their first surgery robot in Europe. Should be able to pick up share in the after market. This could trade like Intuitive Surgical with a recent R/S.
