Reverse Split
Is that the announcement everyone expects
no
i mean once their trial failed
and the main researcher quit
that was it
not sure why anyone would even watch this
i cant imagine why they are even around
life
you should be ok now
thought these guys were done and out
it was a cool damn company
bloody
---------------------------------------------------------------------
with extensive knowledge of ratherbatheinit
do you know of any web pages that list short interests in various stocks
greatly appreciated
broker assisted trades
hey,
anyone know why you can only purchase via broker
when they will switch to otc
thnks
what the deal?
no revenue to speak of, great potential "lists"
china delayed
only one looming deadline is that delisting issue
this is why everyone is jumping out, waiting to see what happens after the "delisting deadline" happens
with any luck, everyone will bail out, they will get china update along with amex continuation
and all the people on sidelines may jump back in, that should push the stock to high .20's (just guess on # )
yeah no sales
congrats to all that were in long time
now i hope to god this is profitable
peace
the feeding franzy
seems people are loading up for the upcoming chicom news that is either way
the major issue with the amex deal is that the phantom co calypte has no revenue to speak off
however, we all know that chicoms, approval would do the trick of rocking the price maybe gap it even
also, we know that sales otc of the kits are ongoing in arab countries not sure where, saudies ?
so guess, the price is either people guessing on a positive or someone leaked the news that incoming revenue and chinese approval would suffice as far as the revenue requirements go
so, are people jumping in traders going short and long or is this a load up for the run of this stock
guess answer comes shortly
HIV and AMEX and OTC B , and cash
ok they are selling otc kits in some sand land I cant remember where.
so that will indicate maybe how popular the kits are, since they are voluntary, i have no idea how sand people view hiv epidemic.
whatever anyways
thing is, who gives a f, about amex vs otc listing. the move from otc to amex was premature and was a gimick by the 4M golden parachute guru, and i truly envy that paycheck, for the you can swim in it comment
one could have just opened up a boiler room for bashers, instead of saying the swiming in testing medium comment.
only one thing is interesting to me at this point, if the chinese communists will approve the sales.
they could be listed in boise idaho curve, next to the lemonade stand and girlscout cookies fund drive table
sell the f'n product already.
Has BYU prof found AIDS cure?
Compound could be long-sought breakthrough
By Bob Mims
The Salt Lake Tribune
Researchers, including a BYU scientist, believe they have found a new compound that could finally kill the HIV/AIDS virus, not just slow it down as current treatments do.
And, unlike the expensive, drug cocktails 25 years of research have produced for those with the deadly virus, the compound invented by Paul D. Savage of Brigham Young University appears to hunt down and kill HIV.
Although so far limited to early test tube studies, CSA-54, one of a family of compounds called Ceragenins (or CSAs), mimics the disease-fighting characteristics of anti-microbial and anti-viral agents produced naturally by a healthy human immune system.
Under a study sponsored by Ceragenix Pharmaceuticals, Savage and his colleagues developed and synthesized the compound for Vanderbilt University's School of Medicine. In his Nashville, Tenn., laboratories, Derya Unutmaz, an associate professor of Microbiology and Immunology, tested several CSAs for their ability to kill HIV.
While issuing a cautious caveat about his early results, Unutmaz acknowledged Monday that CSAs could be the breakthrough HIV/AIDS researchers have sought for so long.
"We received these agents [from BYU] in early October and our initial results began to culminate by November 2005. We have since reproduced all our results many times," he said. "We have some preliminary but very exciting results [but] we would like to formally show this before making any claims that would cause unwanted hype."
What studies to date show is a compound that attacks HIV at its molecular membrane level, disrupting the virus from interacting with their primary targets, the "T-helper" class white blood cells that comprise and direct the human immune system. Further, CSAs appear to be deadly to all known strains of HIV.
That would be a welcome development for the estimated 40.3 million people now living with HIV/AIDS globally, including nearly 5 million newly infected in the past year alone.
"We have devoted considerable resources to understand the mechanism of these compounds. We think this knowledge will enable us in collaboration with Dr. Savage to design even better compounds," Unutmaz said.
In addition to being a potential checkmate to HIV, the compounds show indications of being just as effective against other diseases plaguing humankind - among them influenza, possibly even the dread bird flu, along with smallpox and herpes.
Savage said he and his BYU research team had been studying CSAs for eight years, noting the compounds' value against microbial and bacteria infections. It was only a year ago they saw that CSAs killed viruses, too.
"They kill viruses very effectively and in a way paralleling our own, natural defenses," Savage said, noting that beyond the obvious use as a weapon against the AIDS pandemic, CSAs could help many others with non-HIV immune deficiencies.
Further, the compounds appear to have few limits on how they are delivered to patients. Although early indications are for application

of CSAs with an ointment or cream, pills or injections may also be developed - if the compound gets to market.
BYU and Vanderbilt have jointly filed a patent on CSA technology, which has been licensed exclusively to Ceragenix.
Ceragenix CEO and Chairman Steven Porter said only further research will tell, but he was optimistic about the application of CSAs in the war on HIV/AIDS. There are indications that it could help battle antibiotic- and antiviral-resistance strains of disease as they manifest themselves.
"We are encouraged . . . that CSAs may provide a completely unique family of anti-infectives, potentially active against a wide range of viral, fungal and bacterial targets, including those resistant to current therapies," he said.
Assuming continued positive test results in animal and eventual human trials, Porter estimates it could be three to seven years before the compound is available by prescription. That transition could be accelerated, however, if the Food and Drug Administration should decide to fast-track the drug.
That day is still a long way off, though. First, researchers plan to publish their results in scientific journals, seeking peer review and independent confirmation of their findings. Assuming no flaws are found, several rounds of testing would follow.
Most of the nation's leading AIDS experts were attending the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Denver on Monday. The event's policies prohibits on-site news conferences or releases during the conference, and efforts to reach scientists there were not successful.
Of the few AIDS research luminaries reached, all said they preferred not to comment on the Vanderbilt tests until full results are published.

well what about this OTC HIV test kit?
is this the beginging is this profitable
what is going on?
will this finally get out of red caboos
...
whats the up price now?? 1.00? 5.00 10.00
this is the end and begining
meaning, with china approval, will know what demand is there, is it profitable,
or better if they can keep up with the demand
basic stuff, but this company has not been there before, and short term i hope it stays within 17-20c to move on up at news of approval
fast approval would be obviously very beneficial to this stock.
but, i would say 2-3qtrs the story will be told...
hopefully its a postive stock appreciation due to sales increase
...
does anyone know when approval for sale may happen eom
china submission
so they had a run up and giveaway of share before the news
who, knew that this was going on and ran the stock up few days before hand
just a bad taste, if you dont have the conviction to hold these wild stocks you could got burned
im just stuborn bas,ard, most of what i've learned about stocks was through trading hiv. not that anyone cares.
now will see what this company is really worth. what does submission, hopefully approvals and sales mean.
things should change dramatically this day forward.
good luck to all and hope you at least cover back your positions.
peace
it certainly shows the company is active
as the yahoo board is complaining that this is a small news,
they are missing the point that this is very big news
the company is active and is working on their schedule,
they are not to concerned about instant winners on a defacto pennys stock board
also it indicates to me that, china will be handled with similar prudence and, with any luck would allow from improved product application etc
but , anything china related i imagine, should show up 1st qtr 06
2cworth
que
thanks
it does apear these coming months should be interesting
hopefully the china will happen
this place is quiet
hello, sorry for not doing dd but have other stocks in the lurch
but with orasure getting issues with the testing, anyone know if that is something they can fix shortly
so the orasure downward trend is temporary, meaning calpyte will not have any influence/benefit etc from this.
in other words, assuming that orasure does not have sufficiently good test
this does not help calypte in anyway because as i still understand they are not pursuing, usa market
also, what is the price range going into next year assuming china is a reality.
no one has to answer i just am having a tough time figuring out where the price/share is going in near term 3-6mo
and its late at night.. peace
guess financials are out
what will china application do this stock
any idea?
yes
im pretty much use to disasters from that co
from yahoo board
i just called tim, 11:15 cst. i asked about the c.c. before the end of nov., and he said he wasn't sure. the reason being that Calypte wants to present solid answers to our concerns, no more beating around the bush. he would not answer my questions about the china application. this will be answered in the c.c. he said that the company had been trying to get all 3 tests approved by various countries and that was not going well. the oral test is the test the buyers are wanting, as of now. according to tim, the oral test is going to be the method of testing that really takes off. also he stated the accuracy of this test is great. once again he said that calypte was not going to say anything until they have solid answers to our concerns. i asked about the 2005 target price of $2.00 being quoted, and he said he couldn't comment about that, but it certainly was not out of the realm. the reason i tried to find this out from him was because in 2003 the stock went from .16 to $1.27 in 15 days. so, i would assume the next c.c would have some good news and some solid answers to our questions. i tried to get answers, he says we have to wait to here it from Calypte, and to watch for press releases. i thought you might like to know. give him a call, hear for yourselves.

SOWER
you will love this.
http://www.marketcenter.com/
very very good free source of data from charts to news. best i've seen for free..
btw
where are we going with this stock?
that is, will upcoming chinese application cause the stock to move
slightly or will it be a major break out?
anyways good luck
cc ? this month ?? eom
sower
thanks for the prayer thing, but unfortunatly i think im gettin my rear kicked around for some spiritual reasons
at any rate, latest time magazine (best inventiosn 2005) had orasure first FDA kit...
and we are nowhere near it.... i mean there isnt even an fda attempt by this co...
i am sorry about the gentleman running the show now. i am not as optimistic but be that as it may
they are way overdue for something more tangible the future guidance stuff...
lets hope there are sales lined up as far as rice plantations would reach
sower
no i recently lost my primary employment
so i had to choose between 2 stocks and milk money
and now im out of milk and have bought one stock not hiv
ill jsut have to settle with shares at 100 and only buy a small boat vs a yacht
wonder when this will take off, hope its a legitimate company with large sales potential
i need this to happend
peace
where did everyone go? eom
well ill be adding a bit more
something is going to be up
ne1 know
if there is a conference coming up
thanks
hey
i appreciate it
also just fyi, people have a tendency to ride their losses
and cut their winnings its the human tendency.
i thought orignially this was 5-25 dollar stock because of all the debt
but if they are truly successful, and india and china actually buy and not copy the product ( i know about the "substrate" being hard to reproduce)
anyways
daily bashing
i think since its obvious there are either professional day traders that swing with the news/no news cycles
or they as some suspect maybe x orasure people or whaterver...
point is there are people that obviously have no job other then to post
and i envy them. because i still have to work a regular work...
at any rate,
the reason I belive the boards are quiet is because they will need new strategy,
plus i am sure they are aware that the 90 day chinese approval is now most likely a reality.
so they will not be able to peddle no approval mantra and are probably developing new reasons to beat up the stock...
my guess is that outstanding shares and virtually no revenue will be a vehicle...
well next 3-6 mo are going to be interesting.
my own problem is I dont know when to sell,
is this 5 dollar stock, 10 ? 100? not really sure hot to gauge that yet
at any rate i am just rambling along...
This stock,
well its still a good stock to have because of the upcoming approvals.
i was in it years ago and now just have honor money in it.
not exactly the smartest thing...
at any rate, if it is a perfect scam, then a lot of countries have been had...
thats is there maybe goverments looking into this product as a reliable supplier, you cant have a deal with corrupt company
that being said they have shown nothing in lue of magical sales then also they had nothing to sell.
as i stated before, they may just need to get approvals and the
stock will blow up.
plus, this is amex and once the approvals such as china show up, the mutual funds should look at this, it can be at 5.00 at some point..
so yes this is sort of a stock youd like to beat up but, the greedy part is the amazing volume of chinese...
i say hold on there is really no down side, few bucks can get you ring side seat ...
alright rambled enough...
peace
sower
thats probably market makers
either they expect a crash and at 800k a penny goes long way...
or if they expect good news they are covered that way as well
but hiv and up tick is not synonymous
earnings,
anyone here have any "feelings" "dd" on what the setup will be with
the earnings?
my opinion is that even though the sales will be slow to ramp up, and they may not be profitable into foreseeable future . with waiting for the china etc.
the fact that they do have sales and the fact that they will be filing their application with chicoms (Chinese communists), would in fact start the voodoo stock movements
the peoples would just start to pile in faster then the actual sales numbers increase, that is the sheer hype of saying “selling to china”… should be sufficient. Everyone does their elementary school math… lets see… 1.2 billion Chinese, and im selling them stuff.. hmm yeah that’s profitable…
so , this is probably to obvious, but they may not have to actually receive revenue returns after their sale announcements to china begins. Plus even if they miss the sales goals in the beginning they can say. Look it, its like the sales of other stuff takes a while to ramp up the interests…
So just the fact they kept Dr. G, it shows the ruskies are not that crazy…
sower thanks
seems, people are expecting ok sales in nov? the BED sales?
it would have been better if Dr George was there at cc. But I was happy that they have actually done what i was hoping for. That there is a scientist in the basement.
Be that as it may, we now have a November that will be most likely low sales wise. With the story being hopefully that application to china is filed.
Then the profitability? Maybe in a year…
Hopefully this will work out…
Anyways.
Will see how the businessman operates a business, after all he said that’s his forte…
being taken.
few things. yes the ruskies managment style is obviously flawed
be that as it may
they are currently in process of scamming 20 countries..
one of them being china
they are scamming the production facilities...
point is. why go through all that trouble for 20c stock.
why bother to go through all these countries approvals if its a scam, ... there are better ways to pump and dump fictisious operations. ... so im about almost sure they will indeed try to sell stuff.. hopefully it will be realible sales...
also i am glad that there is a scientist in the basement. even for pr purposes that is a good thing
i also am anticipating once the real sales show up that stock will be trading much higher then its actualy market value
meaning, that there will be another chance to sell much higher then currnet levels
selling now is pretty much what the "smart" thing to do but your selling into downard disaster ..
november they will come out with terrible revenue as they allways do.
but, if they roll in with foreign gov approvals of sales/distribution, the bad news will be hidden as it has allways been...
so, there is still a dog left in this fight, it maybe a poodle but still ...
The PR.
This is a passing, heard most of the story.
Not sure whom the smooth talking CEO is. But, he was asked some relatively basic managmenet questiosn. The answers where (among the pawn of to Bronstein is it...).
The smooth taking brit, was throwing, the hey i dont know whats going on. Im the 3 day on job dude.
Now, again this is all from my bad memory and worse data. But i thought the brit was the memeber of the board.
But I guess I did get my wish, they did leave the pocket protector guy in the basement...
Profitability, is allways next year away. Now the good news, most people i imagine can put 2 + 2 together...
They said 20 countries on an off sprinkled across the year, will provided trading momentum. Short or long depending on the severity of the news etc...
Now, this being the projected earnings story. They may not need to hit ful profitability but if they get lucky with proved increased steady orders.
Well they could rise on projected earnings alone...
So there goes my rant.
Oh and since their novembember monies will be coming out, I imagine there will be a positive spin news coming out before then. Maybe another 3rd world country will initiate testing, ...
oh, and another thing about the brit who knows sarins or whomever the ruskies are...
he said yeah ive done some work with them then he listed off gender of sons and daughters... then he did not appear to add them all up easily...
so overall we're going to be doing ping pong posts for forseeable future... cold christmass yet again...
