Orientgene's actual press release, instead of pic everyone keeps posting
Had to look this up myself!
http://www.orientgene.com/asp-en/news/detail.aspx?id=8396
Whatever - if you "couldn't buy shares" at the market price, the stock would be going up. lol
This direct offering never hit yesterday. Will we see it today?
Aytu Announces $20 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-the-Market
So, on the 13th, the stock took the customary hit because of the offering. I'm guessing this one will happen tomorrow, or sometime this week? (the one that was supposed to be on/around the 23rd)
How many days do they have before they would have to put out another notice about it? I'm going to wait until this hits to buy back in, but it doesn't look like it will have the same impact as last time (due to the strength of this stock)
Hmmm, let's see. The Gates Foundation vets charities and donations a lot, and didn't dole out money to every single COVID-19 company, but they did donate to INO.
Agreed - I just see a lot of hype here, and not a whole lot of research and DD. I won't judge him on this (or any other human being), but it makes me wonder if there's more out there?
There are definitely more articles pre-spike about him in the MJ/CBD business, so it's not like your typical OTC "we really do weed/crypto/whatever now" play.
Looks like the news has been pouring in, since before the ACCESSWIRE press release that probably helped this shoot up.
I can't buy until I change brokers (Fidelity sucks), so I get to see if technicals and sanity beat FOMO for me, or if this goes to the moon between my broker move.
A 1 billion buyout would be just under $3/share, or is my quick math wrong?
Either way, $USRM looooong!
Why would MMs want to hold it down? ... Make it look like a sideways trading ghost town, and then stand to reap the rewards when it goes up to 1000% or more in a short timeframe. Insert Warren Buffet quote about the market being the place where wealth is transferred from the impatient to the patient.
If the fundamentals are there, sit on it.
Does anyone have that comparison of the similar company (with comparable financials) that's running over a dollar??? It's only a matter of time... Short bus, or long!
Yeah, it went from .086 to .091 during that time! I'm helping a few friend purchase too, so I didn't pay attention to tradingview. Whoops

Slapped 100k ask and still hasn't filled after 5-10 minutes... nobody selling.
I will spend some time DDing the technical portion this weekend. I think a) they put it out after close to give people enough time to digest the positive progress, and b) will hopefully follow up with some news next week (hey, wishful thinking). I'll share my technical DD later.
Damn, you just said everything I was thinking in one post... I would think there are more people on the same page as you than you think. We're also talking about "just my 2 cents" literally and figuratively in this case :)
That's the lowest that would make sense (dunno how debt works into it at that point), but that would be the absolute lowest at current OS.
Call me crazy, but TA and FA aside, this is my surprise sleeper pick. ... and hey, it's cheap! The growing concern with the impact of TSA scans, etc. (I've read a ton of articles lately) is only going to generate more interest. ... or not? :)
I found out that one of my relatives has had a myocardial infarction AND has congestive heart failure. I shared this with his family, and they began to look into USRM (and also help with DD).
This might extend the life of a loved one - I think as more people find out about USRM, the chance to go supernova skyrockets (regardless of when approval hits). I also haven't met someone that buys stocks that didn't pick some up after discussing it.
I'm 950k between accounts - if a few other things pan out, I would add under .03, up to 2 million total.
I think you're forgetting that this is a tech play involved in SDN/NFV and cloud. That's what Intercloud is concentrating on (e.g. Juniper Contrail), which is a very in-demand skill for carriers, cloud companies, dotcoms, and progressive enterprises.
Which tech companies have been immensely profitable from the beginning? What percentage? It's definitely less than 1%. Take any publicly traded tech company, Fortune 1000 tech, etc. and show me who didn't have to suffer through years of debt to develop their product and grow the most profitable portion of the business.
If you don't apply the same logic that you would to an InfoSec, cloud, dot com, popular app, or other tech play, it just doesn't make sense. I've worked for enough startups to tell you that they all have transgressions and CEOs that give themselves bonuses. It's kinda the norm, no?
IMHO, Intercloud's previous PR and statements have focused on the drive for these new aspects of their business. If they've already had 5 million growth in SDN/NFV, that shows huge aptitude, as they're beating out others for contracts, including the company being able to do it themselves. They're also offering training for SDN/NFV, which means they're getting to a level where they've simplified a very complex process. The fact that they can demo Contrail labs on their website is huge too. As a person in the networking/cloud industry, I can tell you I'm really bullish because of all of this. It's a top asset, and should not be underestimated.
Many of the other companies that do this are private, VC-funded, and hundreds of millions of dollars in the hole, yet they will IPO at a huge factor of their meager earnings. If this doesn't happen, they get bought out by Cisco, Juniper, Amazon, IBM, or Oracle... maybe Rackspace or Digital Ocean. That's just how this goes. A buyout of .20 a share or more for Intercloud would be totally realistic, and make everyone on this board happy (well, almost everyone, Mr O).
Do some DD on the cloud and SDN/NFV addressable market and growth predictions for the next 5 years, and you'll see that this is a potential supernova. I'm not saying it's perfect, although it's definitely worth some attention, and I'd love to hear what a better tech play is on the OTC.
I'm all for realists, and negative opinions. I don't see the world with rose-colored glasses.... You would make a much better case for your criticisms if you had some balance in your fundamental analysis. I don't care if I'm reading a movie review, news opinion article, or anything else, but a failure to objectively provide analysis only hurts your case.
Cheers...
Gah, I'm just waiting to sell a few things to get some 7s also. Cheers!
Good info, Heavy Reading = the research arm of Light Reading, a telecommunications publication (now covering cloud, etc. as the modernized version. It's a well-respected staple in our industry.
If the company sold for 20 cents a share (reasonable), then everyone here would do pretty well. That doesn't seem unreasonable for the amount of shares, now does it.
... yet people keep posting about dilution and what a "nightmare" story it is.
Unfortunately, every single one of those seems like auto-generated spam (at least from my view). Here's my daily nighttime wish for a press release on complete debt reduction, or a big deal.
Since they have until August, I would expect this after some good news that drives the price up, and never before.
Fidelity says May 10th. I would see what IR says, because last time, E*Trade, Fidelity, Yahoo, and others were all wrong, causing me to think that the early release claimed on here was BS. Either way, I wanna know this time.
Some DD for the less tech savvy... ICLD Loooooooooong! :)
I left all of the other tickers out, but you can look these companies up to see that ICLD plays with the big boys, whether as a technology partner or consultant (except for Riot/Tencent - that's just an example)
Intercloud has invested the time into architecting a system, and now it's time to apply this to customers. Many service providers (e.g. Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, L3, etc.) and cloud computing (Rackspace, Amazon, etc.) have thousands of employees, but always need help implementing SDN and NFV on some level. Network automation is something that most carrier employees don't understand - they're network engineers, not programmers, developers, or automation experts. This is where InterCloud comes in.
For the simple truth of the matter, look at how networking companies like Cisco and Juniper put SDN + NFV all over their websites, presentations, and marketing. Every carrier, cloud computing company, or large dotcom is all over trying to do this themselves. Let's take a look at Riot (owned by Tencent / makes League of Legends). Running Online Services at Riot. The gist of this article (part of a series) is that the largest cloud-based companies live and die by being able massively microsegment and scale to tens or hundreds of thousands of hosts. League of Legends is the number one free-to-play online game in the world, with more online viewers than the NBA Finals had TV viewers. The point isn't to talk about them, but ensure you realize the massive scale requires the types of services InterCloud offers.
In the 90s, a website might be run on one or two servers. That has shifted to thousands of VMs running across thousands of servers, and SDN/NFV is the modernized scalable solution for automating the exponential scale and dynamic nature of modern cloud networking needs. This is what Intercloud does!
Intercloud offers on-demand demo Juniper Contrail labs on their website. Some overstated or fly-by-night "cable pulling" company (as idiots on here have claimed) does not have the aptitude to automate a Contrail lab.
As for ICLD: In the 10K, they tell all:
I repeat, the 10K tells all
Our Competitive Strengths
During 2016, we began delivering DPoD, a hyper-converged private/hybrid cloud solution. Our DPoD product offering provides all of the attributes of a public cloud offering, including reduced capital expenditures for our customers and greater elasticity and scalability in a dedicated private cloud environment. DPoD can be deployed within our data centers or on customer premises. In addition to compute and storage resources, DPoD is fully-enabled with SDN and NFV to leverage software-based network appliances. DPoD is a ‘cloud in a box,’ that brings everything together, including a full multi-vendor professional services experience. The DPoD provides the client with a completely secure, private cloud solution that can be leveraged for nearly any business application.
We believe our market advantages center around our IOT platform NFVGrid and services portfolio. Our software allows enterprise and carrier accounts to take advantage of deploying virtual network functions with service chaining for multi-vendor deployments, VNF monitoring, VNF and full network analytics, the ability to turn up a VNF or turn them off if necessary. SDN and NFV have just begun to be adopted in carrier and enterprise networks after years of planning and testing. InterCloud has a competitive advantage because our NFVGrid platform has the next-generation automation necessary to lead clients through this latest technology transformation.
? Service Provider Relationships . We have established relationships with many leading wireless and wireline telecommunications providers, cable broadband MSOs, OEMs and others. Our current customers include Ericsson Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc., Century Link, Inc., AT&T Inc. and Hotwire Communications.
3
? Long-Term Master Service Agreements . We have over 30 master service agreements with service providers and OEMs. Our relationships with our customers and existing master service agreements position us to continue to capture existing and emerging opportunities, both domestically and internationally. We believe the barriers are extremely high for new entrants to obtain master service agreements with service providers and OEMs unless there are established relationships and a proven ability to execute.
? Professional Services
? Engineering talents . Our geographical reach and vast engineering talents enable our customers to take advantage of our end-to-end solutions and one-stop shopping.
? Proven Ability to Recruit, Manage and Retain High-Quality Personnel. Our ability to recruit, manage and retain skilled labor is a critical advantage in an industry in which a shortage of skilled labor is often a key limitation for our customers and competitors alike. We own and operate an actively-maintained database of more than 70,000 telecom and IT personnel. We also employ highly-skilled recruiters and utilize an electronic hiring process that we believe expedites deployment of personnel and reduces costs. We believe this access to a skilled labor pool gives us a competitive edge over our competitors as we continue to expand.
? Strong Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Execute. Our highly-experienced management team has deep industry knowledge and brings an average of over 25 years of individual experience across a broad range of disciplines. We believe our senior management team is a key driver of our success and is well-positioned to execute our strategy.
Holding my breath for those winners...
You picked up a new follower today, on/off iHub. Great TA on USRM, and I'll be reading the blog for the next few hours!
Everyone here should read re: MMs
As seen on another board a while back, and again tonight, and it couldn't be more relevant here:
"Market Maker Speaks Out: "Ways of a Market Maker"
The most relevant part:
So how do investors somehow manage to overcome the obvious deception in OTCBB arena? One answer is indirection trading style by going long which the MMs do not expect. In the war between investors and public companies on the OTC BB vs the MMs, if the MMs have all the advantages due to position or other factors, direct confrontation such as momentum or day trading hitting the stock is a definite death sentence.
However, an indirect approach tends to weaken the path of least resistance before slowly overcoming it. The most effective way is long-term investors slowly accumulating and holding thus drawing the MMs out of its defenses making them as naked as their short position. This is war so this slow accumulation and holding for the long term easily achieves the desired effect to force MMs to cover and knock off the tactics or bury themselves deeper.
The MMs when caught will especially use every trick and tactic in the book to get a Bear Raid thus playing on the individual fear of most people. The MMs feel they have information and position advantages over the investors as long as the holding of the stock is in weak hands or short term holders. Since they are OTC BB MMs who believe all OTCBB companies are not worth investing and management is ineffective regardless what is happening within the company.Furthermore, MMs know they are in the position to impose a great deal of influence in OTC BB stocks trading when it suits their needs.
This inherent power of position enables the MMs to move the markets at any time up or down. As a result, the only way to draw them out of their favorable position is going long. Now this does not mean just any company but to effectively nail the MMs, Longs must find the great company on the floor and accumulate long before the MM tactics and games begin.
Keep bashing, and we'll keep holding <3
This is really the best post I've read in a while - I can't wait for something else I have to blow up to get more USRM! I can't say I'd quit my job / quit working yet, but I'm getting closer!
... and they have you working on a Sunday?
100% sure you'll post about every Thursday :P
ICLD Stock Live Analysis 04-05-2017
Gaps filled, and they called a "Tactical Analysis Alert" at .039. Tomorrow? ^ _ ^
Check the text history (on the Tradingview chart) for previous dates that they covered ICLD. I really enjoy their commentary and calls...
This paints a really good picture. If the TSA + gub'mint cared about personal safety, they'd replace all scanners with these. It could be huge. This stock annoys me on a daily basis, but I love the potential for something like this to take off big time. Growing on dips when I can...
If it hits .01 tomorrow, I'll thank you. If it hits .10, I'll get a huge 'GOLDENMIND' back piece across my shoulders.
Post of the day - maybe this simple, concise message can resonate with some of these folks
Jealous - I was tapped out this week :(
A quick check of the address shows that a little company you may have heard of called Morgan Stanley is in the same building. Check out this Google map for 1030 Broad Street for a better idea.
I would focus on the financials: (NASDAQ) and OTC Markets vs. how many employees they have, or where they are.
ICLD DD 2500+ OpenStack Jobs on LinkedIn. InterCloud provides Juniper Contrail for SDN for OpenStack. Take a look at the job postings for how hot this market is. OpenStack is hot, hot, hot!
If you haven't heard of OpenStack, it's the most popular collection of open source cloud computing components that everyone has settled on, similar to how "Linux" is a collection of GNU programs that power the kernel and operating system. InterCloud focuses on the SDN aspect of empowering OpenStack cloud builders, and I can tell you from experience that this is where the best of the best are changing the world.
SDN means "software defined networking". NFV means "network function virtualization". You can go to any network equipment vendor's site and find references everywhere. The customers are cloud (AWS, Rackspace et. all), Tier 1 carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Level(3), Tier 2 (probably InterCloud's sweet spot), and anyone wanting to run a modern public or private cloud. It's tough for people to set build this themselves, so people use Amazon Web Services (AWS). When someone wants their own cloud (whether public, private, or managed), they turn to companies like InterCloud.
ICLD's 2016 results highlight this:
In 2016, InterCloud’s SDN and NFV related revenue increased from zero in 2015 to almost $5 million in 2016. This market has been slower to adopt than most experts predicted but clearly the virtualization of the network has begun and future opportunities remain robust and exciting for InterCloud. Our team has focused on several highly remarkable use cases in healthcare security and analytics, tier two carrier orchestration and automation, and deep machine learning analytics and automation for IOT applications. Recently, two companies with similar software platforms to InterCloud's have sold for over $100 million each. These events give us even more confidence we are in the right space at the right time. We have streamlined costs but our platform remains robust and the team continues to develop use cases with near term revenue opportunities. We have focused on strategic partnerships to help lower our costs of sales and deliver our solutions into large enterprise customers that already have existing relationships with our brand name partners. I look forward to reporting news around this market during 2017."
In conclusion, Mark Munro, Chairman and CEO stated, "2016 was a solid growth year for InterCloud. Revenue increased, costs lowered and debt was significantly reduced. We look forward to driving efficiencies deeper in 2017 and the continued growth and maturity in the new markets of IOT, SDN and NFV.”
A lot of this should be comprehensively turned into a technical DD sticky with lots of links (when it's not 2AM). I'm sick and tired about the stupid R/S talk. It's like a broken record. I read this for fun (basing my investment strategies on my own technicals and DD), but the narrative is being taken away from the truly unique investment opportunity. The R/S (and 99% of posts) are just a distraction. Don't fall for it, and if you're long, it doesn't matter. The other companies that are similar-ish to InterCloud are already acquired or private (like Mirantis.
One last link - the SDN market is predicted to be huge in the next 1-XX years. There are plenty of estimates. Google 'SDN market size' for some variety, but I think you'll be pleased with the results.
