I do believe the chances are highly likely of that. We shall see!

But...but....the charts....THE CHARTS

Statements from PMI included. Good read for items across the industry.

22nd Century Group, Inc.: Extreme Growth Potential and Takeover Target: Interview With the CEO

Article put out here. Not waiting for tacky publications to post it.

I had the honor of sitting down and speaking with Henry last Friday. Here are some new quotes and info from what transpired.

Hi. I've been around here for over a year now :). Welcome aboard! In for the long haul myself and only mentioned what they said at conferences themselves last year about the blinding.

The FDA likes double blind with no peeking along the way. Shows confidence to them.

Just needs to perform now and pull through the quality P3 trial. They will in my opinion.

Exactly that

Nothing...SLE is being attempted but Voc is a go for LN

Hope everyone here is doing well! Been awhile since I stopped by and said hello and gave opinions.

I've been MIA while getting the new trading app into development.

We are opening the public pre-registration to add to the 250k+ people already registered.

Thanks for sharing that Nemesis. Sad but true fact that I was waiting on something like this to load up my long position. Hope my article helped the community in any way!

Alaska now...next the whole country.

Love how they added "and Cannabis research" to the "a plant biotechnology company focused on tobacco harm reduction".

Bigger things are afoot! Can you smell it too? Smells pretty skunky and fresh

It's just the cumulative effect of everything going on. More investors becoming interested. More volume brings more traders. More news of substance and repetition keeps new investors here.

It's in the process of fixing the broken mental state of the ticker itself and that's the key to holding the gains for real value.

Totally expecting a pullback with Friday profit takers. If it holds well tomorrow that is. Technicals show it's ready for one but most cases in this world TA matters nothing.

A correction to the 1.10 or even 1.05 level isn't the worst thing in the world over 3-5 days. Not in one day preferably.

That's the chartist in me talking. The advocate in me wants to see it gain the awareness it deserves and smash above indicators for a week.

And yes, this run is the real deal. It will sustain and hold its gains. The tide is turning in the mental aspect of the ticker itself, company is doing wonderful things with what they have and creating more immediate shareholder value.

All it needs is one mention of a partnership, collaboration of a large scale, legal news on the cannabis/hemp front and this soars.

Good luck to everyone!

This is true. Don't see $40 soon personally. In time perhaps. Still a great value at $7

He never left. We was the chairman of the BOD Always....

Happy to help set some items straight. I can not stand mid information and 1/2 truths.

Lol. He doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for the good words!

Thanks Lunacy ????

What are you talking about? Haven't commented here all day and rarely do to be honest.

And just read the summary and it's full of BS. Fancy talk from a short that's caught losing money.

If anyone that has done their research can see, the person has no idea what they're talking about.

No biopsy needed, FDA already granted the trial design per the best known science of the community.

Calcineurin Inhibitors haven't shown any improvements in renal lupus....obviously!

That is why Voclosporin is such a bright spot. The large molecules are dangerous and toxic to the body and not always effective.

Voclosporin is not the run of the mill Caclineurin Inhibitor and that's already been proven.

Nothing can be done about people not understanding what they're in. It's quite possible a group wanted in lower and paid someone to write that. Short it down and then load up when it's down.

I'll whip something out to refute the facts and show why it's BS and a great investment later this afternoon.

Today was supposed to be my lazy day!

Have an appointment in a few minutes here and just getting rolling. Reading the article now and will be writing my own this afternoon to refute.

ILJIN is an investment company out of South Korea. Mr Lee is their agent that sits on AUPH BOD. They were in place before the merger that created Aurinia.

3sBio has the rights to Voc and will do trials (as needed) and take to market in China.

Paladin is owned by ENDO and has the rights for the same in Canada, Israel, South Africa.

ILJIN are investors since before the merger and have milestones along the way. 3sBio has China rights and is rumored to be waiting for the P3 to finish before moving forward on their end.

That's a situation I'm not privy to. I am not sure if they have rights to the point they can sell them, or if it reverts back to Aurinia. I'm not aware of the details of that deal. But you're right. Paladin is ENDO

3sBio has China, Paladin has Canada, Israel and South Africa license.

I would actually prefer they don't. If BAT commercializes the technology that will lessen the overall reach XXII has with the product.

It's not the worst thing and I can easily see this moving up to the 3.00-4.00 range on that news.

If that happens I expect the tickers psychology to be fixed by then so shorts should be a mile away.

I want to see some more info, deals, substantive news regarding the Hemp and Cannabis side to get it to the 3-4 range before Oct.

If that scenario plays out then a BAT license moves it up to 5.00 where it opens to new institutions.

Being a part of the Agrosphere ETF and various other stock related items can potentially do that itself.

Gut feeling is there will be a rise before June, June itself will be a good bump up, and July/August will then become critical times. I may have to open up the cash hoard then like AUPH and play the 100 lot game and try to fend off any shorts.

Hopefully BAT doesn't license the technology and commercialize it so we can stay on the projected course and touch the whole industry. Without them having it it will also make XXII more attractive to outright take over.

Thanks for what you do for the community there. That's good stuff. After seeing what happens to the people that suffer from SLE and get hit with LN it's hard not to want to help in any way you can.

Thanks TC. The future is. Tough one to work off of but not totally accurate there.

Remission isn't the disappearance of the condition. Remission is just the way the community describes response. Which is why the terminology has changed in P3, and the community, to be Complete and Partial Response.

When a patient has a flare up with LN symptoms they will go in and be treated. The flare up will be safely taken care of and they can prevent further damage.

That is not to say they are fully cured and will never get a flare up with Nephritis symptoms again.

Again thanks for the work you did there. Good stuff!

I've got a philosophy that I live by in my trading career. Goes like this:

Tickers get broken. Not the company but the 3-4 letter symbol itself. That is when you see people saying "this company is great...why is the price going down?!?!?"

In retail it creates the feeling that the company is bad or being manipulated or a plethora of other excuses that make themselves feel better.

It's the psychology behind it that keeps the price locked down. Smart traders and investors can target these for the real profits. Only when a company is good.

That's exactly what happened to XXII over time. It doesn't change overnight but take a step back and look at what's happening.

Not so much what's being said, even tho it's actually really good information, but what it all means.

The tone has changed from the top. Creating shareholder value and investor confidence is the first step in fixing the broken ticker.

There are many more noteworthy news items coming. Of this I have no doubt.

A lot of good people have been invested here a long long time. It is hard to not be cynical at that point. Totally understandable and at that point the big picture needs to be looked at.

The psychological WILL be fixed and it is actually in the process now. This is exactly where the money is to be made.

Hope a little insight into the crazy that is my mind helps some folks out. Feel free to ask any questions anyone wants. I'm Always around to help out.

Thanks Vid. Honestly I didn't read the article. At this stage in the game there's really nothing new anyone can bring to the table.

My hopes is that Monday brings the additional renal info and/or talk about future conditions. Further hints than what they've said. Something of substance...

There's a few different scenarios I can see playing out as of right now that can make it a large range of MCs in the end.

All you can do is talk Vid! I told many many people and majority came and asked again around 10.00 lol.

Cheers to you and yours ??

Most brokers will if you call them. Could be folks holding long positions and shorting against them too.

Various brokers target the shorting community and go out of their way to find shares. Usually takes a phone call.

The industrial uses are actually what most hemp growers are going after now.

The CBD market is so convoluted, crowded, and prices are insanely low to the point that it's just a sub category of what they really want.

22nds tech will help stabilize the extraction portion to make it profitable again, but their technology will also help stabilize the plant material itself to the point that the actual industrial industry can utilize it.

For example they are, right now, building whole houses out of hemp. Everything in the house 100% out of hemp. This is in Alaska too. The insulating numbers on it are mind blowing.

You can take a roll of hemp insulation, burn it with a torch directly and it doesn't even smolder. Normal fire rates insulating explodes in flames instantly.

Now look at health. Everyone is crazy about flax and other seeds. South Korea for example is on a massive hemp seed nutrition kick right now. They purchase majority of theirs from Canada suppliers where the industry grew from the 6 figures in total of 2015 to hundreds of millions in 2016. I had to triple check the numbers when some family told me those numbers. It's true.

Then there are the various oils, beauty products, soaps, and the list goes on and on.

Problem remains that the plant itself is finicky. Every strain acts differently so what you get this harvest won't be what you get next. How can you sustain as an industry that way?

XXII stabilizes that....

Depends on who you're talking about. Indoor versus outdoor makes a drastic difference. Indoor increases the costs substantially but will still get the benefit of lowering overall costs because a higher quality product brings more profit.

When talking CBD or other cannabinoid that aren't THC the higher the % the less plant material you need to actually produce your end product.

Legally speaking, 0 THC Hemp is closer to being acceptable across many applications and in society in general than 0 THC Cannabis. Even tho both are well on the way in my opinion.

With XXII tech the industry will get the % ratios they need, more plant material in the end to produce the various industrial products that can also be sold.

Farming is not a winning game. There's a lot of factors that go against them at the moment. Biggest being the price wars at the end of the chain.

With XXII tech a lot of that is alleviated as they will provide the industry with stable crops. Not 1/2 harvest destroyed because it's over the limit, or 1/2 wasted because it wasn't ready to be harvested before the rains came.

Now factor in the ability to control the levels of what is needed and you'll get more bang for the buck so to speak in regards to farming.

Higher quality, less problems, more reliable means more profits for the industry at a lower price to the consumer.

Then you think Cannabis.....

It didn't show any improvements in the uveitis and psoriasis trials tho. It's possible for those, but there would be bigger and badder beasts to take down. Transplant rejection could be finished first but it's expensive. If it is released that it's helping SLE overall then it's going to be a joyous day that day.
