Titan's extensive patent portfolio is a roadblock for many companies to get into this space. It would be much cheaper to buy out Titan and take control of their patents then it would be to put in years of work to come up with their own design that would not even be as good as Titan's. Is it not worth 400-500 million to buy this company? I would take that right now. Maybe they are holding out for more.
Thank you!
If that is the case than that actually hurts the shareholder. If you could have sold AMC on Friday at $18 and only paid long term gains and now you could sell it for $11 for long term gains and APE at $9 for short term gain you just paid thousands more in taxes.
Question. If you have held AMC for over a year, can you now sell your APE shares for long term capital gains like you can for your AMC shares? I'm totally confused by this. Not that I'm selling but just curious.
No price update today from the peanut gallery??
Hahahahahah
MSNBC...Really??
If ISRG really wanted some Titan IP they would just buy the company no problem. They have tens of billions. Same with any big company that wants it.
I'm at the point right now where I would be ok with around 500 million buyout from Medtronic or anyone else. That would put us around $3.30/share. Would be worth it to finally close the book on this stock.
No one who is holding shares of Titan is excited but its better than being down another 20%.
Titan Medical up 15% this week!!!
I don't think anyone here is saying shorting should be eliminated. They are saying shorting with fake synthetic shares should be eliminated.
Just remember a partnership like this one had to have been signed off on by Medtronic before anything could happen, as per the current agreement.
Been saying this too. I'd be shocked if new CEO didn't have some Medtronic connection.
So what was the agreement and all the milestone payments for and all the work Titan did with them over the last 15 months? To not use any of the IP?
Titan has some leverage also. They tell Medtronic if you walk away we can sell our entire IP portfolio to one of your biggest competitors. I don't think Medtronic would want that to happen when they have the means to lock it up for themselves.
Titan cannot entertain any offers from other companies while the Medtronic Agreement is still active so we don't really know what type of interest there is out there currently. It remains to be seen if Medtronic ever wants to find out what type of interest there might be out there either.
I agree that there are many unanswered questions out there. Like why so many redactions in the agreement? Why was the agreement sent to the Mergers & Acquisitions attorneys at Medtronic? Why did Medtronic demand one of their own to sit in at Titan board meetings? Why would Medtronic let Titan walk after all of this and sell their IP to a competitor when they could lock it up for peanuts? I guess we shall all find out some day and see who's bet wins.
You do realize that Titan has been handcuffed by the Medtronic agreement from discussing anything Titan with any other possible suiters. If Medtronic ever ends this agreement and walks then they open the door to other competitors coming in and swooping up Titan IP. I think the people running Medtronic are way t smart to let that happen.
Agree. Why would Medtronic want to cut ties with Titan at this point and risk (high probability) that the IP they just used in HUGO would end up in the hands of a competitor down the road. Medtronic has 10's of billions to spend and they could buy out Titan for relative peanuts and lock up the IP forever. Makes sense to me.
I've said to keep on eye on the new CEO when announced and see if there are Medtronic connections. Anyone think there won't be any??
Lets see if the new CEO has any Medtronic ties.
How much has Medtronic paid Titan to date?
They may have paid 30 million for the IP but if they don't buy Titan that same IP can be sold to a competitor and will compete with Medtronic robot down the road. pay attention.
Posted the other day but didn't get any response. Why would Medtronic just walk away from Titan at this point? I know they used their IP to help develop their own Robot but why would they want that same IP possibly ending up in a competitors robot down the road when they could prob lock it up with a buyout for a billion or less at this point. Wonder if they have offered and Mcnally has declined thinking he can actually take this thing to the finish line.
The problem is that Titan can't even talk to any other companies about a sale while they are under the Medtronic contract.
You would think Medtronic would just throw 400-500 million to buy Titan out if for nothing else but to protect the IP they used in their robot from being used by a future competitor. They could also work to complete a single port with Titan tech and IP. Would make sense to me.
Why is a clothing company buying an EV company?
When you said sell at 72?? LOL you've been begging people to sell since $10 are you kidding me?
Titan actually has an agreement in place with Medtronic. Vicarious has nothing to do. with Titan. Mentioning that they may be a future competitor is one thing but pumping the company every day is another.
Anyone holding AMC for the squeeze would not want AMC to be bought out any time soon. What would they buy out for $50 - $60 per share?
Sleepy is that you?
Whats your point? Is GME worth $160?
That would be approx 600 million dollar buyout...clueless!!
Wrong. There will not be 160 million outstanding shares. Maybe 140 - 145 million tops with everything.
Why even bring up another stock though when trying to rally AMC to a squeeze right now? AMC needs full attention.
Smart Trader LOL...this guy was telling people to sell way back when this was $10/share. He has been telling everyone its going to $3 and every time he speaks it goes up another $10.
Did anyone really think this was just going to cruise up from $12 to $500 without some major turbulence along the way? These guys are losing billions of dollars each week. Do not underestimate the lengths they will go to get people to sell. Everyone needs to make their own choice on how long they want to stay on the train but IMO it will be an exciting ride so buckle up and enjoy.
Doesn't matter it would likely rise to a SP way higher than the actual buyout would ever get to.
IMO they let it run up into the 70's and then did everything they could to tank it back into the low 40's to scare everyone that the squeeze is over. Unfortunately, some got scared and fell for it and will watch the main event from the bleachers.
