"There is too a Great Pumpkin. You'll see!"
Imagine this pile of crap company employing a CEO and a separate President! And why? And the useless President knocking down a total package of $1.7 MILLION. I'd say this is a joke but there isn't a damn thing funny anymore. We've reached critical mass with these buffoons.
I've really tried to stay quiet but THEY SUCK. Inept, overmatched, incompetent. Disgraceful. When does somebody pay with their job? WHEN???
Is the wording "may be" and "may contribute" ever going to move the needle for us? "May"? I don't know how you get wide acceptance without at least being able to say to doctors "has been shown to"....something more positive(?) My cardiologist (I've survived 2 bouts of endocarditis and had radical aortic surgery) here in NJ practices out of Morristown Hospital, a heart surgery center, and told me he has never heard of CTSO or the filter. I recently wrote the company asking how this is possible with the co headquarters an hour away. In the same note I asked why Columbia Presbyterian in NYC says "withdrawn" on the trial. I think these are reasonable questions but they have never answered me. I'm not the only one not getting answers. Are we in a bunker mentality now?
There's a PR out this AM
Should be viewed positively by the market. Fingers crossed.
Bio, I think you are genuine and, as such, I don't want to get into it with you. I'm not OK with what's happening here but I'll be right there with you if it ever turns around. Actually, I hope you're right.
One? One patient? All the new hires and recall we dropped everything else to "concentrate" on the job at hand. CONCENTRATE HARDER or better yet SELL THE COMPANY. And I'm not a short, I'm a drowning long, a furious drowning long. WHERE IS THIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS?????
Hey new Director "Jimy", your free shares are already down 50 cents a share. Welcome to the sh@tshow AKA CTSO
While our stock is down 70% in the last year, Chan's total compensation went UP 28%. Is anybody else awake out there? Does this not piss anyone else off? WHERE IS THIS BOARD OF DIRECTORS?????
"In light of the fact that shareholders would arrive loaded for bear and looking for scalps, we will once again utilize covid as an excuse to hold a virtual annual meeting. Nevermind that sports are now played indoors in front of 20,000 fans, we are putrid cowards afraid to face the music". And the compensation I posted was wrong. It was actually much more. $1.7 million for Chan. You have to be kidding me.
When does someone in a high position pay the price and get shown the door for this horrendous performance? Where's Hemopure to tell us how wonderful they are? Oh, over at yahoo posting as "Greg". Nevermind.
At what shareprice will EVERYONE have had enough of these buffoons?
President My Cousin Vinny total compensation $1.177 MILLION. What exactly does this guy do for that? Someone please tell me. Chan $1.3 MILLION. $2.5 MILLION combined for Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello.
If your CTSO statement is not severely in the red I congratulate you. Mine is horrifically underwater, even with some "brilliant" averaging down on my part. "It can't go lower than 6! No way". Like you, I'm long the stock. All I pointed out was we were given $740K and promptly gave a newcomer director over $200K in free shares. If this is OK with you, that's fine. It's ridiculous to me. I'll take it back if we find out she streamlined FDA approval. There is so much dead weight at the top here and it's dragging you and me down Bio. Good luck to us. We need it. I forgive you for making fun of my handle, even tho you don't deserve it. It comes from my love of the Broadway show Phantom of the Opera. The greatest of all time.
Sadly but not surprising the market didn't care about this $740K. Where do they get off giving the new director over $200K in free shares while we are all sucking wind?
Top heavy carrying both a CEO and a president. Both ineffective. For a small company like this? Why? Clean house. Get rid of both and bring in one strong individual who knows how to run a business. These people, and it's not just those two, haven't a clue.
Bio, whatever little credibility they had is gone as far as the market is concerned. Sad but true. Two FDA trials and $3.46. That's how I know.
What is shorter than a nano second? I thought I had seen it all until I got involved with these overmatched, incompetent, clueless, inept, talentless, pathetic, truth stretching buffoons. A CEO and a president running this into the ground.. You bet I'd sell at 7 tomorrow!
B. Riley lowers its' price forecast from $10 to $7. Bravo! Keep up the good work. This company needs a complete sweep at the top. I'd say they suck but it would be an insult to sucking. We have a president who apparently is incapable of speaking to shareholders and they wheel out this clown Steiner whose presentation was HORRENDOUS. Sounds like a funeral director. This is becoming unfunny in a hurry. $7! I'm at the point I'd sell all of my shares for that and never look back. Disgraceful.
Serious question. Can somebody tell me another publicly traded company where the so called president does not address the shareholders? Ever? This has become a farce.
Director Alan Sobel phone number 973-994-9494. Director Edward Jones phone number 215-248-8200. Director Michael Bator phone number 212-421-1000. Chairman Al Kraus can't find a number, lists himself as Chairman CTSO. Director Phillip Chan Overmatched Buffoon don't bother calling. Flood the others. Enough is enough.
Translation. The 1st Qtr will sh@t the bed
This guy Steiner is a dynamic speaker. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
The market can barely contain itself in anticipation of hearing from these incompetent overmatched dopes today. I know I am anxiously waiting to see if one of the shills, er analysts, actually has the balls to congratulate them before asking their question or, less likely, will President My Cousin Vinny actually get to speak (Vegas odds are saying no). I sure miss the days when Hemopure would come on here and tell us that this is the best management team ever. $3.67. A joke, and a bad one at that.
Did anyone access the transcript from the SVB Leerink Global Health Conference? Was something "good" said. It's on Seeking Alpha and I can't access it.
Battered and beaten here to the point that I'm relieved when I get to the end of one of these and the subject didn't die.
I know Dwight spoke to me privately, and wrote on this board, about the optimism of Car T. I can't recall what CTSO's role is in this therapy. Anyone?
Doesn't this really confirm that the filter works, as we hope, to remove ticagrelor/reduce eliminate bleeding?
I don't think that the backlog was a lie. I think it existed and, when they couldn't fill the orders in a timely fashion, there were cancellations. So the lie (call it a huge stretch of the truth if you like) was telling us they were going 24/7 and could produce $15 million in a quarter. I do not believe that was truthful, we lost the backlog (yes, it existed at one time), and I'll go out on a limb that it's why President #2 has, rather conspicuously, not had a speaking role since. Why we need him is another answer we've never gotten. Now, in advance of answers, I am a long who is in this for many years with way more invested in this than I should (in advance of the usual "You're a short" BS attacks). Good luck to us longs. We need it now more than ever. They have completely lost credibility and we are in dangerous territory....and not because of anything someone on a message board says.
Not sure which famous coach said it but "You are what your record says you are". $3.22. Unacceptable. Doesn't make anybody a moron. Inept? You bet.
Bio, what does the sp have to fall to for you to lay the blame where it belongs?
Overmatched, overpaid, inept, incompetent. Another week ending swirling around the toilet. Sell the company or clean the whole damn house out of these losers. Enough!
New 52 week low
Z, ignore my last post. I don't need an argument, especially with someone who doesn't appear to be a jerk. Merry Christmas (that goes for all of you). Peace. Sell the company ;)
"Tell me what Philip Chan has done" STOP right there. OK, you give us the positives and then I'll write. I've been involved in a couple of companies that went to $0. Their message boards had this in common. They all possessed a "Hemopure" to smack down anyone who posted a negative, and usually a glaring negative. And I am not directing that at you. "You're a basher, you're a short" is always the BS rallying cry. I'm respectful to you because your posts have been sparse and pretty neutral/benign. I have posted many "happy" posts on here when warranted. After a Techxen posts. Unfortunately, they are few and far between due to reality, not anything that "Fantom" posts. This is now down to ticagrelor removal. Do not delude or kid yourself. Do I think that will work out? Yes. But if it does not, this will become another body strewn by the roadside in my investments. Don't be so trusting. And my issue is with all of them, not just Chan.
$4.26. Beeeeeautiful
Z, welcome back. You rarely post, causing me to check out your prior ones. May of 2020 you heralded the $2.7 million order backlog. No crime there, I was ecstatic with it too. And what did they do? Lost it, that's what. That event really soured me as it took a questioner in a quarterly cc to draw that loss out. We weren't even going to be told. I'm sorry to sing the "sell the company" song so much. It pains me actually as I have lost a ton here, albeit on paper still. My hope is a buyout by somebody who can move this along. Empty suits (and skirts in NJ and Chicago) at this company. Inept. Sorry I feel this way. Peace. (today's PR, the timing, is a bad joke. Smacks of "Oh shit, the natives are getting restless, put something out quick")
Overpaid, Overmatched, Inept, Incompetent. Sell to a company with a clue.
If the older posters/investors listen very carefully you'll hear Peggy Lee singing "Is That All There Is?". Can you hear it? I can. LOUD and clear. This PR after weeks of pain and silence was supposed to do what?
