Now .. that is an interesting perspective and poses some legitimite questions. I however choose to believe Titan in fact has a marketing plan fully in place and will be good to go. Marketing is something you would DEFINATELY be silent and quiet about at this phase of development. Any hint of how your going to do it at this point would only play into your competitors plans.
These are all highly networked individuals that plays into the who you know, not what you know strategy. The fact many in their field are not aware of Titan does not suprise me at all. But they will.
And I have my money on it !!
Food for thought ... do we have an answer as to who basically bought ALL the shares in one sweep last raising for capital. An answer to that question may answer a LOT of questions !? Good luck with that one, cause behind the investment firm or holding company may be an interesting answer.
LMAO .... who is this moron ?
OMG dude ... if you really got in at the beginning of the year then there is absolutely NO WAY that you would be down 10 k. Sorry ... math doesn't add up. Therefore your full of it.
In two weeks I will have been in for exactly one year ... I'm up just over 400%. I added at a 1.90 and brought that percentage down to just over 300%. Why did I do that ... because I know what I invested in. Apparently you don't and you've been buying on emotions and now your about to drive yourself crazy. If you haven't learned anything, then do like the JnJ guys did and "SELL SELL SELL"
All "good news" ... are you kidding me ... apperently you've missed the rounds of "fighting" on the forums .. lol .... childish AND entertaining. You haven't been around. And "You guys" should do something about it .. LMAO .... were nothing but a rag tag bunch of investers that are excited about our futures. A good rag tag bunch with amazing DD skills with the info they dig up. But still at the end of the day ... just a bunch of guys that wanna be in Vegas to talk about people like you. Our day will come .. we believe that ... cause there is a difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it !!
I'm not even sure why I responded .. I degress .. sorry.
It amuses me how these "ragers" pop up out of know where ... just wow !!
NOTHING MATERIAL ( in a bad way ) HAS CHANGED FROM A YEAR AGO.
IF ... something does in the next 6 months .. you may want to reconsider your position. But as of right now ... your comparing indexes to what is a startup / research and development / high risk investment that has done nothing but SPEND money and has not made a single penny !! So .. suck it up princess ... for you have not realized you are at the door step of something amazing over the next 12 to 24 months. Other than that .. sell .. and learn from your mistakes !! IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.
Have a great weekend everyone !! Cheers to next week meeting ... GLTA !!
Thats what I'm talking about ... thank you for the initiative to restructure the site Honey ... excellent work finalizing it IITF.
Looks really really good !! ( and nice find on IRCAD )
Awesome work Duke and thank you for attending that meeting.
Great find on the video conference calls Daktari !
Impressive flow of information. Helps keep the spirits up and the in fighting to a minimum .. lol.
Great work everyone ... if I've missed anyone I appologies and everyones efforts are greatly appreciated.
Not ever at any time did anyone from Titan say they wanted 4 -5 dollars. If you go digging back into the posts ... "someone" on this forum had said that "they" had said ... they were hoping it would be 5 bucks. What everyone keeps referring to is HERESAY.
Certainly they would want a higher valuation, it just makes sense. But NO ONE ever made such a statement from Titan.
IMHO .... I'm half expecting it to be between 5 and 10 at the year end (2014), and if not .... by the end of Jan/Feb. Otherwise .... I will be suprised and disappointed. I think most are waiting for milestone updates. With everything on schedule ... it has to explode with speculation and anticipation. Right now .. it's just a buying opportunity in my opinion.
Agree ... while the idea is there and content half there ... it looks like a pre-school project atm.
You can also probably safely assume the article was written at least a month prior to publication .... so 9 months puts us into January .. and if your optimistic ... December.
I'm busy liquidating other assets as I plan to buy more this week, IMHO this is going to be the cheapest pps we are ever going to see again. I already hold 23,500 shares. In hind sight I wish I didn't hedge myself back last November and had purchased the full 42,000 shares I wanted ... lol .. damn it !!
Good luck everyone ... the next 12 months are going to be exciting. Buckle in !!
agreed
Don't be so niave Geo .... Insider trading goes on ALL THE TIME.
Go have lunch with a smaller broker that sets up small cap companies for the "penny exchanges". You will lose your innocence.
They've tightened the reins a little bit over the last decade ... but not much.
Look at these guys running algorithms and ultra high speed networks .... they even out smart the Banks. They know the trades nano seconds before they happen and beat the trades. Small amounts so no one really "notices". The Stock exchanges know whats going on ... self regulation ... no one cares ... and the little guys get killed over and over again. So if ONE guy knows someone that has a bit of info ........... take it and run ...... cause if you don't .. they will. GUARANTEEDED. Morals or not ... it's dog eat dog. That .... is capitalism.
I'm one of your "fans" posi .. but honestly ... that story is something I'd expect from my 6 year old !! Not buying it brother.
Gig20 ... That wasn't really the point .. the point was .. for example ... in the days of ISRG's climb up in pps, before it peaked at the 600 dollar mark .. it made it to 300 and then dropped all the way back down to 100. Lost 200 in pps over a 8 week period. Can you imagine the stress compared to .50 cents.
I still believe this is going to grab larger market share than most believe. IMHO. We can agree to disagree on that one :o)
Nothing material has changed ... and there was a lot of crying this week for nothing. Yes, it's disappointing. But it's also the name of the game.
Just a reminder once again that times like this are nothing. Grow a pair !! Wait till the stock is worth substantially more and the swings get even bigger. How many of you could withstand a price drop of 100 to 200 dollars in a 4 week period ?
There is a clear division of the men from the boys in the posts.
I might start looking at stock in kleenex.
Canada is a perfect example of socialized medicine. As I mentioned before .... in the City of Edmonton Alberta Canada with a population of less than 1 million. We ... alone ... have 3 ISRG machines in two hospitals. I don't want to get into or start the debate about socialized medicine. Just pointing out that fact. A lot of what you are fed is nothing but fear mongering from the profit takers in the U.S. ( just a smaller piece of the pie ). Our Doctors still drive Porches, Ferrari's, and Range Rovers. Have no fear. "Socialized medicine works". I am one of the believers that this stock is going to end up being what most can't imagine. Titan in my very humble opinion is going to do a least as well as what ISRG did. More markets, different markets, more cost effective. The model T if you will. Something everyone can afford. Maybe 20 or 30 Sports for every DaVinci ? Do the math. Keep it simple.
FYI .... we have 3 Divinci's in our city alone ( less than one million people ), the University hospital has one, and the Royal Alexandra hospital is getting two !! One is in the womens gyn deptartment and now general surgery wants one too !! So ... take that into account. Then multiply how many times for the European markets, India, China ? Anyone that thinks this market is small ... is thinking small.
Hey guys .. thanks for all the feedback on the Sierra site, I was multitasking when I spotted it, and posted it right away. I do recall the discussion earlier on Sierra, but didn't put two and two together right away to realize it was the same BS web site.
Well ... what a disappointing week. I might need therapy after this one !! I had much bigger expectations and ended up being disappointed. Ah well ...... it will make us stronger for the really wild days ahead. The bigger the stock price the more massive the price swings will be. We'll have 5 dollar swings in the near future on a daily basis. Fun if its an upswing ... crying in a towel on a downswing. Get ready for the fun IMHO.
sorry guys for the seperated posts .. busy getting ready for work ....
RUMOUR - This should get you guys going !!
http://www.healthcare.siemens.com/
They may be making an offer
Hey now ... don't bring the leafs into this .. mmmk .. lol
Your absolutely correct Noemotionseller .........
When we have a stat holiday ... no one even notices, when you have a stat ... trading slows down to like 20 k or less. Sad but true.
Put it this way .... greater Los Angeles has more people for population than all of Canada. Do the math.
That said the TSX is a large exchange ... this is setting up for bigger things to come and uplisting in the US whether it's NYSE or NASDAQ.
I was extremely disappointed on Monday ... when it didn't happen on the last day of trading on the venture exchange the day prior to going to the big boy exchange ..... I had bigger expectations.
Patience. ( but it's hard ) .. lol
It will be several days before all the sites have stuff sorted out:
For TMD ... you will find it here
http://www.tmxmoney.com/en/individual.html
3.23
I don't care where we stay .... all of the suggestions sound good to me .. but in all reality ... we belong at the Circus Circus.
I don't want to jinx anything .. so I'm staying quiet. Yes I'm superstitious !! Honey has hit it dead on. I may be setting myself up for disappointment .... but I'm expecting 3 or 4 dollars pps tomorrow ( Canadian ) ... so take 10% off for the dollar.
So .. here is the challenge .. which of you are going to be the real adult and not respond back to the other person who is trolling.
The back and forth chatter is getting really old. It's not a fucking soap opera .. it's an investment site.
Cause ... you know what .... ths is going to be a very very very long ride that is ahead of us. The stress and pressure hasn't even begun yet. As a stock increases substantially in price, so does the wild swings. Instead of "making" and "losing" two thousand dollars in a day, you could be making and losing ten thousand dollars a day or more.
Intuative surgical went from $3.20 to 600.00. Sounds great right.
Go do your homework and see the wild swings in price on the way up.
If TMD did the same thing .. I would make 12 million dollars. I also would have seen swings were I would have lost 4 million in a 8 week period on that road up.
See for yourself :

Posilock / Suckitup .... LMAO !!! What can we say ... I held my tongue for the last two weeks when others didn't. Part of the reason was I had a gut feeling with posilock and was secretly hoping he was going to come through and when there was no actual news releases from Titan on Friday .... I was like "oh no" .. the others were right. I just hope everyone sees that all of us are just looking out for the integrity of the site and our investments.
You have to realise your previous posts were super vague.
BUT ... and thats why I am laughing so hard ... is they were right and we have to give them credit everyone !!
Personally ... I'm just happy for everyone ... I wasn't expecting huge news until January/Febuary ... and have to admit this caught me off guard. What a crazy year this is going to be IMHO.
Great Question arkshel .... not a silly question at all. Not sure if anyone has a direct answer to that just yet. But .. I'm pretty confident that the answer maybe part II to this exciting development with an uplisting in the US also. Pure speculation .. but a very very good bet. Long story short ... it's gonna be nothing but good news IMHO.
It's out on many news wires ... and I found it from my investment house TD waterhouse. But ... here is a link for you :
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sp-dow-jones-indices-announces-changes-to-the-sptsx-canadian-indices-2014-09-26
Well .... this is Canada .. lol ... and that can be complicated !!
The short answer is yes.
I've provided a link for anyone who is interested in an answer to that question. Always seek advice from a tax professional however.
http://cawidgets.morningstar.ca/ArticleTemplate/ArticleGL.aspx?id=370808
If you scroll down to the chart you will see Canada: TSX Venture Exchange (Tiers 1 and 2) ... virtually every stock listed will be Tier 1 or 2 ( Tier 1 being common stocks and Tier 2 I think will be preferred stocks ). I'm not an expert so always verify.
I had to go through this to figure out if I could put my stocks into a TFSA ( Tax free savings account ). A new "savings" program for Canadians introduced a few years back. The huge benefit to the TSFA .. is that everything that happens in the account is a non event. Another words I will never pay taxes on my gains from Titan.
The downside is ... if you have capital losses .. you can not write it off as a capital loss against anything. You suck it up and take the loss. However ... as you can see .. the up side is with a stock like Titan or any other "penny stock", when you experience gains ... its HUGE !!
The RRSP conversly ... really only allows you to defer paying taxes and the ammount you contribute can be deducted it from your personal income ( there by lowering your taxes for that year ). But .. eventually .. when you pull the money out ... your taxed.
Both programs have rules that limit the amount that can be contributed.
As far as institutional buying ... I have to tell you I do not know the answer to that. Using common sense I would have to say there is no way institutional buying would occur on the TSX-Venture. To answer your question off the cuff without doing my homework ... I would have to say most probably.
Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX, formerly the TSE) is the largest stock exchange in Canada, the third largest in North America and the seventh largest in the world by market capitalization. Based in Toronto, it is owned by and operated as a subsidiary of the TMX Group for the trading of senior equities. A broad range of businesses from Canada and abroad are represented on the exchange. In addition to conventional securities, the exchange lists various exchange-traded funds, split share corporations, income trusts and investment funds. The Toronto Stock Exchange is the world leader in the mining and oil and gas sector as more mining and oil and gas companies are listed on Toronto Stock Exchange than any other stock exchange.
So ... BOYS ( and girls ) !! ... I am super excited .. I'm not sure if I am going to be able to sleep tonight .. LMAO !!
Thanks Honeycomb .... we get huge amounts of American and global exposure ... so most of us will know that already. Sometimes ... even though we love you guys to death ... we look on with amusement how "isolated" Americans come across sometimes. It's your education system obviously and it centres around everything american and sometimes forgets about the rest of the world. I think it's why the rest of the world gets so mad at you guys even though your doing what you think is "best". That all said ... we're really just the 51st state at the end of the day.
K .. now ... I got WAY off track .... moving up to the TSX is huge.
Our TSX.venture exchange is the equivelent of your OTC / Amex. ( the wild west ) ... although .. not as wild as it use to be. Over the years more and more regulations have been imposed. "Penny Stocks / high risk" ... we use to have several of these exchanges in each Province (State) but they all merged into the one in like 2010. Weeding out some of the shady ones.
Out of all that we have a list called the TSX -50 which is the top up and comers. TMD ( Titan ) was on that list.
So ... for poor old Canada ...... the TSX is pretty much the equivalent of going to the NYSE !! ( for us ).
HUGE NEWS ........ don't want to make crazy predictions ... but ... I personally went upstairs to inform my wife and showed her the "we're going to be rich dance" ... so .. take what you want from that !!
IMHO
good luck everyone !!
Yes it is expected .. BUT .... these were awesome finds from HC777.
I'd suggest you all dig deeper into what Honey has dug up ... go to the website link he's provided and cruise throught the entire web site. I'd like to particularily point out the "our mission" link
http://www.surgicalfellowships.org/index.php
Watch the video and it's "our boys" from Titan that stand out in terms of leadership, I mean Dr. Fowler is the President, Dr.Wolf is vice .. AND .. even Intuiative Surgical is there sponsoring the fellowship. We are there playing with the big boys and the leaders of the industry .... not some wanna be company. Super exciting material IMHO.
Also ... look who the diamond sponsors are of this fellowship program ..Ethicon and Covidien !!
AND .. the fact Dr.Satava is there representing as "Senior Science Advisor at US Army Medical Research and Material Command" and "Professor of Surgery at University of Washington" is something to mull about in your head for the potential future value.
Honeycomb is my hero for the week .... good job brother !!
http://www.surgicalfellowships.org/documents/FSF_NewsWinter2014.pdf
LMAO @Lurker05 ... LOLOLOLOL .... thank you for the laugh ... oh man!!
Food for Thought ...... remember who we are dealing with .... Doctors. Typically conservative and methodical. If something of significance has occured and they choose NOT to inform. Then there is a good reason for it. Yes we are all starving and excited for new information in the shadow of wanting to strike it rich. Gold Fever they use to call it ?
Point being .... if you have "sources" ... then maybe you want to consider or reconsider the information you "leak" out. This is their investment ... our investment ... YOUR investment. Soldiers on the ground if you will, that do NOT have the benefit of the "Big Picture". Loose lips .... sink ships. I enjoy good tidbits of information just as much as the rest of you .... but maybe ... just maybe we should contain ourselves a little bit longer. We all know its "coming" ......... again ... just food for thought.
As always ... IMHO .... GLTA.
Same senario as last year ... TMD was sitting at 0.38 and I hymmed and hawwed for several weeks until it jumped to 0.49 in early November. I looked at it and could see it was undervalued and decided to get in before it went over 0.50. I got in at .465
The very next day it dropped 4 cents I think .. lol.
But ..... the rest is history. And it will repeat.. IMHO ...
It is undervalued ( again ) .. and right now is a huge buying opportunity. I had expected the stock to be at 3.50 already at this time, however I also expected the final tissue validations to be completed. It appears that is going to be somewhere between November and January. It's my belief that once we are past that milestone the stock should begin to gain momentum moving into 2015. Bottom line ... IMHO ... its a bargain price at the moment and those that wait will be going ...."gee .... I wish I had bought back in Sept of 2014" .....
Just a cut and paste from the MD&A :
Of all the blah blah blah .... this is the most important part :
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company completed an alpha commercial prototype build as well as completing the initial rounds of tissue testing using components of the SPORT™ Surgical System. Titan remains on track to attain the next major milestone in
Q1 2015, product design completion and design verification.
I have to admit .. the silence is deafening. It's an awefully long period of time ( in context ) to have zero news. I'm in this come hell or high water until the end of next year before I make any decisions. That was my stratagy from the beginning. I find if you don't make a set commitment prior to investing, you will drive yourself insane with the ups and down. Normally I would be long gone already, but after much DD I came to the conclusion Titan was the real deal and worth the risk. I'm of the belief this next 18 months is going to be super exciting. I am honestly suprised this stock is not in the 4 dollar range just based on the tissue news we've been given. That said ... my estimate based on timelines for milestones was 3.50 to 4.00 by this September ... which is like 6 weeks from now. So .... we shall see !!
I've been involved at arms length with other IPO's and typically a company has someone promoting the shyt out of the company and a share price can go retarded based on sheer greed and speculation. The silence is really odd and something I'm not use to seeing. In many ways I believe it's potentially a good sign that they are focused on the company and not shameless lunch meetings pumping the shit out of the company. Then the "lavish" expenditure on a professional PR firm ... and still more silence. Which, my gut feeling tells me there is "something" going on ( in a good way )
Kind of like a volcano errupting, many will say WOW ... that just happened all of a sudden. When in reality a lot was going on before the erruption. We just didn't see it coming. IMHO ... this is what I believe. Good luck to all of you ..... hope to maybe meet some of you to clink glasses and celebrate a cheers on some tropical island in the not so distant future !! And ... well .... just gloat !!
Just an observation ... Can anyone explain the big spread between TMD and TITXF .... normally TMD ( TSX Venture - Canada ) is up about 10 cents higher. I always assumed it more or less represented our weaker dollar. But today TITXF is sitting at 2.07 ish at the moment vs TMD is .20 cents more today. We are up .06 cents atm.
Any explaination ?
Ironically the Canadian volume is typically kind of a joke compared to the volumes in the U.S. I've always said you can do more by accident in the U.S. than what you can do with a strategic conserted effort in Canada from a business point of view. Just can't complete with the population and geographical distribution of such. Sorry ... ADD .... I went off topic .. lol .... I just found it interesting the wider price difference over the last week and wondered why ....
Thank you for the info ... it was a little concerning to me at the time, thanks everyone for doing the leg work and responding. Appreciated.
No one has replied to Honeycomb777 post about a change in CEO. Is that really old or actually a change that is coming ?
This Board has gone to shit. Listen to yourselves.
An M/A would suck balls ... I for one would be extremely disappointed and is NOT a reason why I invested. As real of a possibility it is, I don't even like talking about it. Yes would would all make money. But not the BIG money I'm anticipating with Titan going on their own.
I post random shit to pass the time and have some "fun". Check out any new info that could be pertinent. Amazes me what others can dig up sometimes. So ... sometimes it gets heated, sometimes stupid, sometime repetative .... but it's still FUN !!
Personally ... I have one other family memember ( my son ) in and 9 co-workers, a friend of a friend ( that I am told has over 100 K shares ) - some oil field rich guy ) and a friends daughter got in. Those are the ones I am aware of. 12 in total.
