Zacks upgrades to 1 on Dec 3rd!
I just held. All peachy.
Zack's rated PLC as a "1" (Strong buy) today!
Got me some cheapies today!!!! Total overreaction to earnings report. Margins lower to make for bigger profits next Q and beyond. Just wish I had more cash sitting around today.
"Vroom Vroom"? Silly, silly. Here is the sound of Tesla at the starting line, ready to go...
(Crickets)
All I can hear is the tires underneath me, flying down the road!
Congrats to all you smarties that picked up more shares this morning!
If you aren't greedy like me, you could have doubled your money in the last year. If you want to be mad, be mad at the traders who have AAL way undervalued right now. If you want to get even, START BUYING NOW. The company is performing and has enormous potential regardless of the price of the stock. A PEG of 0.2 isn't sustainable. Unless the G shrinks (which is possible but not indicated at this point), the PE is going to go up, alot. I'm annoyed too, but it won't last.
If you're nervous, dump and buy some TSLA. I've made a chunk there, even though I don't think I should have. Trailing stop in place.
I have a big scab on my forehead from headbutting the wall. This is absurd. The ONLY consolation I can find is that if you are in long, a ridiculously low valuation (RLV) with a big growth (BG) year SHOULD be RLV + BG this time next year. At a minimum.
The plane should have landed already for God's sake!
"Expensive one-time treatments like Sovaldi can be a shock to the system."
I'm personally long- and plopped another chunk down today for more shares. The parade in DC for Congress to scream and yell may cause a knee-jerk reaction in price for a couple days (which means I should have waited to buy more, but anyway....) In the long run, I don't see it having any effect on price or demand whatsoever. It's all a show for politicians to tug at the heartstrings of voters. In fact they'll probably have their broker on the phone as they walk out of the committee meeting to get some cheapies.
The quote at the top is the exact reason why they have no legitimate argument. That "shock to the system" of having to pay a large chunk in a short time is still cheaper than the slow, painful, MORE EXPENSIVE effect that does not cure HepC. That attitude of dealing with it later is exactly what has put this country in enormous debt. It's simple math. Curing a patient is cheaper than lifelong treatment of symptoms, transplants, dialysis, on and on.
Kinda like making an extra mortgage payment every year. It may hurt, but it's only going to hurt for about 17 years. Then you have 13 years to enjoy your house, and your vacation, and your boat, and your Tesla. (I had to throw the Tesla in there. You either have one or need one.)
Blew right through 100. Any idea why?
Did you get you 45 order filled? You may get your 55 sell in tomorrow. (I get half your profit, don't forget.)
I would like to buy some cheap shares now, but I'm afraid the dookie will hit the short term fan at lame earnings. Holding off for now.
Oh geez. Before your order gets filled let me give the "this comment does not serve as a recommendation, but rather the opinion of the author" spiel. Your making me nervous here.
So far, the nickel is stickin. We'll see how the afternoon goes.
BUT... I get half of what you make if it works out. Deal?
Watch trades today. My prediction, it will putz around between 0.045 and 0.055, then to 0.048ish on a big order, then a puny buy at 0.058 at closing to make the finish look strong. It's becoming a pattern.
BTW if you're a day trader, buy at 45, sell at 55. You can do it 2-3 times a day.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on how long dilution will last. There was big volume last week, and it was pretty obvious, but volume is slowing incrementally each day. I assume there is much more to go. Price is pretty steady considering it all.
Thoughts?
That was quite a funky little hop at the end of the day. I'm not even going to pretend I understand it all. Doesn't matter when you're long.
Not sure if you've been watching trades this week but with dilution/high volume nonstop, it's been nickel, nickel, nickel.... price is holding quite well so far.
45 cents, 3pm ET.
There was no timeframe in the report, but 12-18 months is my assumption.
Oops. Guess I posted twice. Just trying to get famous.
I agree he did sound annoyed. My answer would have been, "Thanks for asking, Debbie Downer."
Redchip presentation was impressive. Silverman knows his stuff. He first went over. Q-inside for implants, vascular ports, and sizers. He mentioned database management as a potential source of revenue. If they play it right IMO, VTEQ could be THE database manager for anybody else who uses IDs, even without Q implants. In Q&A Silverman mentioned $40 million revenue potential, possibly linking up with Mentor and Allergan on breast implants.
BUT, to me the most opportunity is in the radiation dosimeter. Implanted in a tumor- breast or prostate (huge market) it can mark tumor location and measure actual dose of radiation at site. Could potentially give more precise measurements to reduce under/over dosage issues. Hot news (sarcasm)- underdose leads to insufficient treatment, and possible future metastases or enlargement of the original tumor. Overdose may reduce or eliminate a tumor but with enormous cost to patient health.
He also mentioned the increase in volume due to funding requirements, almost in a "I know it stinks, but lets just get it done and smoother sailing ahead" tone. It's nice that he recognized it vs. the "everything is peachy" approach.
Keep in mind, the email I pasted from Zacks also mentions the share increase but the math with it included still shows at 45 cents a share target.
I'm not buying based on level 2 quotes. Day traders, go for it. I'm long, period.
Target from Zacks $0.45. I received a response yesterday from analyst Brian Marcks at Zacks. Keep in mind he "lowered" his price target from $2 to $0.45. (That's an 800% increase from today's share price.)
(My name)- I lowered the price target due to the unexpected significant increase in the share count as a result of the recent debt agreement amendments. The Zacks rank is unrelated to my outlook/rec/price target - that's generated via a "black-box" type of algorithm. Attached is my latest report.

FWIW, Zacks had VTEQ at a 1 (strong buy) last week, then it went to 2 for a couple days, now it's a 1 again. (Almost seemed like a programming issue because it seemed to toggle between the numbers on different screens at the same time). But when Zacks is following, that's a good sign.
Tomorrow at 11, CEO talks. With volume lately, makes you wonder. Somebody with lots of shares seems to be getting ready for something.
Price is obviously being manipulated again today. Sales at 0.051, then a batch goes in chunks shortly after, 10,000.
I'm thinking it's Tuesday, part 2.
I like the sound of it. Looking forward to Redchip presentation on Thursday.
Why the volume today?
BTW, I'm pretty new to small companies like VTEQ. But what is the deal with someone buying 2 shares at $0.05? I assume it's either an error or it is some sort of price manipulating trick (that I don't understand). I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts.
CEO presenting Thursday. He needs to give some guidance, no fluff. If he personally speaks with nothing beyond "we have a bright future" a penny will end up looking like a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Just glad this is a little speck (spec, pardon the pun) in my portfolio.
I want news fellas! GLTA.
Zacks Number 1 rating!
Zacks ranking is now a 1. I'm hoping they see some trees through the forest. Quite shocking to me that they would stick their neck out without a concrete reason to do so.
"I am glad I discovered this company." When you guys post your irrational exuberance, why do you have to write like eighth graders?
How about, "I like to drink DNA when I want to feel happy! It's my best friend!"
Someone please find me the Sims Communication traded on NASDAQ. It's a podunk wannabe with a high school website. Somebody is lying.
I read it the same way at first, but I think they meant that the tumbling happened in 2013 when QCOM announced a "front end solution." I was scratching my head trying to find the tumble too.
Fair enough. You said the median ages of the four was 18-21.
Actual numbers:
Mexico 27
China 36
India 27
South America 27
So "Beat it". Or "Scram". Or whatever Humphrey Bogart phrase you like. Don't tell me what your point is when you use false information to support it.
"Has been contacted by..."
Walmart manager: "Uh, yeah, is this Toby? I think you left a message, something about some drink you want me to sell? Dude, seriously?"
He DID get contacted! Hooray!
"Has been contacted by..."
Walmart manager: "Uh, yeah, is this Toby? I think you left a message, something about some drink you want me to sell? Dude, seriously?"
He DID get contacted! Hooray!
After 2 seconds of research: median age in China, 36. Not close. Vying
To all of you trying to make arguments for DNA, good for you, some seem valid. But the credibility of your arguments are shot when you make up bogus numbers. Let's be reasonable.
When exactly did this "start" from 46-48? Show me support levels on a chart and explain how TBEV can overcome its violation of investor trust (not that it matters in penny stocks though).
The only way this can turn around short term is reporting huge sales and contracts which can be confirmed beyond a PR.
Long term they need to change to "Roundhouse Sports Drink" and go for round three of the process that has failed twice now. A new CEO who didn't "study" at college (see FB) would help too.
The kids with the lemonade stand across the street have a "legit" business, with revenue and profits. A website (lame one at that) has nothing to do with being legit.
Where did the logos go?
Hmmm. I made the point yesterday that leagues and teams won't like Tdown logos Photoshopped onto their athletes' jerseys. And today..... the three "meet our athletes" pics on the homepage are now missing their logos. I especially like Ron Capps' sponsor, Hexagon Auto Parts- with the crooked seam added in the middle. Yeesh.
