I was surprised recently to learn what some friends were going to pay for a routine operation on their small, undistinguished dog. Astounding!
We humans will pay megabucks caring for pets.

I am confident that unexpected additional uses for the CSMG LTC technology will emerge when broad commercial use gets underway.
Opportunities like we have before us now are rare indeed. IMO

For those long months prior to the last two PR's, CTUM investors enjoyed the anticipation that good news was inevitable and would occur very soon The atmosphere was one of optimism. When the announcements came new uncertainties (What will the FDA do?) came also. Once strong hands became weak hands and the herd mentality prevailed. Nothing about the company has changed. It has actually become stronger. Investing is the development of a set of skills to help understand the strange admixture of logic and the vagaries of human nature.

Unbox the Laurel Crown and place it on the man's head! Never underestimate Don Robbins. He has got to be "Man of The Year."

Have you detected any vital signs, however weak, coming from OneLink? I hear nothing.The price is right if the company should have anything good to report.

Excellent post...to which I add one additional quote from the great poet found in THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR,Act ii.sc.2. "For they say, if money go before, all ways lie open."

I feel quite fortunate to be a CSMG shareholder.Concerns about the timing of PR's will evaporate when more information is released and the excitement of the company's move to center stage should mollify any anxieties. The Bard has a line about the pain of missed opportunity:" And gentlemen in England now abed will think themselves accursed they were not here." IMO

There is an Egyptian Proverb entitled THREE WORST THINGS
To be in bed and sleep not,
To wait for one who comes not,
To try to please and please not.
Another could be added; To wait for PR's that appear not,
A couple of well- known names from the past recommend patience.
DISRAELI: Everything will come to a man if he will only wait.
LONGFELLOW: All things come round to a man if he will but wait.

I'm convinced the PR

I thank you so very much for your comments that have brightened my day!

therose,
Thank you for your kind post.
The terms 'R' and 'E' are obviously not mutually exclusive; sometimes extraordinary and unexpected time needs can occur while attempting to produce desired results. Also, there are those 'acts of God' delays and still other times when almost completed work has to be held sub rosa to fix a minor point or two.
Looks like CSMG is about to turn 'E' into 'R' before this turbulent planet makes many more rotations. IMO
express40
I'm not concerned about any perceived delays in CSMG PR releases. Frankly, I have been quite pleased at the enormous strides this company has made in moving a revolutionary new concept this close to reality. We're not talking about penny-ante events here but a tectonic shift from an outdated technology to a radical new way of doing things. Passing the required approvals has got to be stress city. So the company misses a PR date by a short period of time as they prepare to face one of the most difficult panels known to modern man? Thank God they've got the good sense to want it right the first time. The stakes are enormous. I feel myself most fortunate to be at this spot at this time and to perhaps participate in what may be one of those defining moments in medical history.
Yes, there are risks. If ownership of the stock of this small company creates tensions, what about just finding something of lower risk and let CSMG investors follow their bliss without being harassed by the negative game? IMO

The comment about Don R. being on a trip to Ukraine was in my post #10206 of 5/16/2007.
As I said I didn't come away with any data but I did observe that he was upbeat and said that the company was doing very well. Over the years I have heard lots of microcap managers spinning their products and after a few years of listening you get an intuitive sense about whose is telling you straight and who is full of beans. I believe that when Don Robbins
said that CSMG was doing very well he meant exactly what english speaking people around the world understand the universal definition of the two common words to be.
I searched that evening under the cushions of every couch and every chair hoping to find enough quarters for maybe a few more shares to join my fat CTUM portfolio...but without success. IMO

I don't find the sentence dumb at all. Sometimes 'Mr. Market' prices his best merchandise at give away prices for no logical reason. Alert investors salivate when Mr M. has one of these little bouts of dementia.

Correct. We need new buyers. If you are like me and already have your stash of Hemi(modest in my case) and don't want to get over allocated, you have little choice but to stay long and read the posts while the short term crowd sells. These long time gaps seem to go with the investment territory. Maybe next week will be a bit more exciting.

airdale,
An investment friend of mine said to me several years ago that a young company named CSMG was the best investment opportunity he had ever seen. After some DD I arrived at the same conclusion and started buying only to slow to a stop after I had built a fairly substantial portfolio in the stock. My confidence in CSMG and in Don Robbins is enormous. No sales are planned. I have made a few comments along the way on this board expressing my continuing positive predictions about CSMG.
And so, to get to my point in this post. You said that "Express40 is dead wrong about following the recommendations of other posters." I am a complete blank as to your meaning. Could you amplify a bit?
express40
I for one( and maybe the only one?) appreciate the contributions Jagman makes to this board. He adds color and verve, agitates the emotions and quickens blood flow. It's a game he plays and he's very good at it.
Somebody once said: "what can be more boring than a full orchestra that plays only one note in unison?"
express40
Having closely observed Mr. Robbins business acumen as expressed in the construction of CSMG, I can only conclude that he felt that the ownership of additional shares of the company was simply a reasonable investment to make.
express40
reduke,
Thanks for your very helpful post. I sense within a faint stirring of hope re OneLink. Will watch it with renewed interest over the next six weeks.

If OneLink is not dead it must be very close to being in a comatose state. I have been completely unable to make contact with the company or their PR firm. I have been very disappointed in OneLink. Share holders deserve better treatment than they have gotten from this company. IMO

Your observation that Hemi one day will make all doubters true believers reminds me of Jesse Livermore's comment that 'The big money is never made in the buying or the selling. The big money is made in the waiting.'

Your very apt description of the frenzied activity of HEMI this morning as an 'influx of indifference' reminded me of a similar expression used to describe someone totally unconcerned over the situation at hand. Such a person might have a case of 'invincible apathy.'

Very logical question but,no,I did not. If we should talk again I'll ask it. Relying on my visceral signals only, I look for a near term date.

This morning I had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Don Robbins,CEO of CSMG. He has just returned from a week long business trip to ukraine. While still recovering from the rigors and fatigue of time zone hopping, he yet conveyed to me an ebullient tone in his voice without the slightest hint of concern or anxiety.
I made a feint or two at learning a few specific pieces of data..... but without success. He did say that the company was doing very well and that the sell off of shares over the last days was not in any way related to the expanding health and long term progress of CSMG. He emphasized the words'very well.'
Immediately after our conversation I searched my financial reservoirs looking for funds to add more CTUM to my portfolio. No luck,alas. I'm already long and heavy the stock now,as they say! IMO

I seem to remember that CSMG always files late about five days because some of the information needed comes from Ukraine on a slower schedule.
express40
When we see dramatic share price changes caused, as some have observed, between forces of reason and the animal spirits of our nature, we almost have to conclude that some inexplicable interplay is underway now between these forces that defies our understanding. We love CSMG one day and hate it the next. Nothing appears to have changed about the company; it is only our opinions that have made one of those mysterious 180's that infects the most hardened rationalist among us from time to time.

Sorry to be so slow to reply. Just got in. WOW!! What happened?????
As to your question re Bruce Jones. Have not talked to him since the conversation reported last week. Yet, reflecting on that exchange and also on what I believe to be his strong conviction that CSMG is going to be a very big winner, I am willing to speculate that Bruce would see the share price as being in the giveaway category. Looks that way to me too.
If this decline is related to Don Robbins missing a reporting period, I sure would not sell the stock for that reason.In fact,observing the way this CEO operates, long silent periods can be viewed as bullish. I believe Mr Robbins is very shareholder oriented but if the timing is not right I don't think he would issue a cotton candy PR just to meet a deadline.
express40 IMO
I had the pleasure today of talking with Bruce Jones, CFO of CSMG Technologies.While he would not tell me anything, I got the impression that things were going quite well especially in the tissue welding area. Bruce did say and I quote: at a share price in the $1.00 range, the stock seems to be very cheap.

Good post, MoneyMogul2b.
I know of a sprinkling of longs out there who would release their HEMI shares only if pried from their cold, dead grasp.As for me, I tenaciously hold my shares in wizened hands happy to have a position in this excellent investment opportunity. IMO.

Thanks for your helpful response re OneLink. Now what? Just wait I guess hoping that something good will surprise us. I have emotionally just about written it off so anything positive will look like found money.
Good luck in the markets.

I think Jagman is a valuable contributor to this Board and I think he knows exactly what he's doing. It's the Dialectic Process or the Socratic Method in action. Think of the DD that has been dug up with much enthusiasm just to fire a round at Jagman.
Bet he's long and heavy.

rduke,
I own far more OneLink than I should and have not been able to make contact with anyone who knows if the company is dead or alive. Could you post me with a sentence or two on the status of OneLink?
Lots of data for awhile then an erie silence. Many Thanks.

If only one of the LTC procedures meets expectations(cosmetic,e.g.), $5.00 will likely prove to be a giveaway price. IMO

Lowman,
An excellent statement...just excellent!
I know a few CTUM investors who remain silently in the background holding their shares with an iron resolve.They(we) have great faith in the company and in the splendid staff which is working this LTC miracle right in front of our eyes.
Don Robbins deserves some kind of recognition!

Exciting without doubt but also enormously satisfying just to be part of a technology that will bring good to so many people down through the years.
