I still think the company will be sucessful in getting the Abbott/GE RECAF test to market.
-----------------
GOOD! THEN SHUT UP AND BUY MORE SHARES....
Now secondly, you ask what amount of liability a doctor has for making a diagnosis using a less than accurate test. The test could be given but it would just confuse the patient and be a waste of time and money because it would have to be following by the most accurate test available. If the doctor did not give the more accurate test, he would be insane.
----------------------------
HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH THE PSA TEST???
Dr's KNOW the PSA is only 50-60% accurate (so 50% chance they are WRONG!)....but people still take the test and there is no liability. The Dr. gives the test and tells you what the false + and - percents are. That's it. IT's up to the patient to then choose.
As CEO he would know weeks in advance how the approvals are coming along. CBMC also trades roughly 250-600K shares per day. It would be easy to scale in/out 3.5M without arousing too much suspicion in 5-10 trading days.
If Calypte was hopeless then Roger Gale would not be receiving payment in worthless stock. Also interesting is 3.47M shares and nothing sold. Even $243,000 would be better than holding onto paper wouldn't you agree?
NOt sure what the timeframe for success would be...hesitant to even wager a guess since we've all been wrong on this board before.
There is only one thing i know from BOCX (after following/holding the stock since 2002 at 15c) and that is, news - significant news that moves the stock 200-300% comes when you least expect it. One day it will be in the pennies, and then you flip your screen on the next and its up in the dollars+.
As for GE i have no comment. I do not know if GE will adopt BOCX or if it will remain with Abbott. I would like to see another sublicencing agreement with another company come out though so then there will be more than one company to obsess about LOL. Wouldn't it be funny if BOCX remained with Abbott and then gave GE a licencing agreement also?
Support is at .48-.50 which is where they are driving the price down.
As for Goldseeker's postings:
1) The technology (RECAF) has not changed. It still detects several types of cancer. It still has more sensitivity and specificity than PSA and other single cancer markers. In other words: IT STILL WORKS!
2) How the company was formed, who founded it etc. may have had significance in 2002-2003...perhaps even also when BOCX was listed on the pink sheets.
It is important to note that BOCX was RECENTLY RELISTED on the OTCBB (Oct 2006). This was not an easy feat. It took a couple years and constant pressure from the company.
I do not believe the company went through the trouble of getting relisted only to give Whittrnberg et al time to pump & dump. If this was the motive they did a piss poor job as BOCX barely scratched the $1 mark (20c move - whoop-dee-doo)
3) BOCX traditionally drifts down to long-term support during periods of little or no news. During these times, instead of giving up patience, questioning the fundamentals of the technology and the integrity of those involved, it is a good time to add to your position and average down. These are rare buying opportunities which only present 1/yr or so
Mar-Apr is historically when BOCX makes price popping PR's so only 7 wks away...If BOCX hits 50c before then it will be a buying op.
Price fluctuations don't bother me as long as the SCIENCE remains in tact....
BOCX has been around for years and they still have a respectable O/S count imho (less than 50 Million). I respect Dr. Moro and what he is trying to achieve with this company. He has stated time and again that his first priority is to diagnose cancer and any money made from that endeavor (via Royalites etc) is a bonus.
I have seen my share of pump & dump penny stock scams and if BOCX were one of them the share count would be over 500 Million - 1 Billion by now.
Adding 3-4 million shares to a 30 M o/s count is peanuts.
OK thank you. It seems to me that RECAF would be superior since the radioactive AFP would only light up where cancer IS present. Whereas the PET scan only shows areas of glucose concentration where cancer MAYBE present (i think i recall reading some benign tumors such as peripheral nerve sheath tumors have high glucose uptakes and are not reliable for PET scanning)
Can anyone explain the difference between BOCX's RECAF imaging technology and a PET scan to detect cancer?
Are they the same thing? Is one superoir over another?
Long 40627 shares.
I wonder if this HPV vaccine will be a collosal failure like the Hep B vaccine is.
According to VAERS 100 children experience moderate to severe side-effects from the Hep B vaccine for every 1 child that supposedly benefits from this vaccine. And this doesn't even include the Multiple Sclerosis-HepB Vaccine link that is now coming to the surface.
Like all vaccines, this new HPV vaccine has NO LONG TERM SAFETY STUDIES done with appropriate controls. Its a disgrace to force this vaccine on young people.
Glad i added some in the 50's
Long 36000 sh
Having trouble trading BOCX
Is it halted? Symbol is not recognised on the Pinksheets or OTCBB with on-line trading
Anyone else having trouble?
What we need is erthang to do another interview with Dr. Moro.
The last one was in Feb/06 i believe. Call him up and find out if there is any progress made. Moro thought .70 was undervalued, i wonder what he'll think of .50
Price doesn't make any sense!
I have been a Calypte long since 2003 (the last run from 12c to 1.80 in less than 3 weeks). I owned very few shares and sold most of my position after the mess with ourstreet.com
Then i started adding again with Dr. George and frequently when HIV was in the .20's (av. cost .22)
My big question is:
WHY WOULD THE STOCK SUDDENLY RUN UP 200% IN AH TRADING ONLY ONE DAY BEFORE AMEX DELISTING???
Why would Calypte issue a PR confirming delisting yesterday if they knew that news good enough to give the stock a boost was less than 24 hr away?
If Calypte is really going to get to $1-2 in the next few days, then what was the point of this Amex delisting exercise?
If the news is THAT GOOD, then isn't it more rational to keep the Amex listing where it has access to bigger traders and institutional investors? How many institutions purchase OTCBB stocks???
None of this makes any sense...it stinks imho and i'm a LONG. I'm a firm believer in fair trading for ALL (including shorts). If there is good news coming then it should have been released during trading hours (just like the delisting news at 12:11 pm July 31) so that everyone has equal opportunity to buy/sell as they wish.
It would have been nice for the company to issue a release in the morning and not let their Chinese offshore buddies get a jump on the rest of us!
I'm pissed off!.....but i'll still enjoy the ride up :)
Has the technology changed?
RECAF either works or it doesn't.
Nothing has changed other than someone dumping their small holdings. Doesn't look like insider dumping to me - probably retail?
My guess would be Nov 21, 2006
Like i said before, i've never known BOCX to leave a gap unfilled and there is still a nice open gap 80-90c. we may base in the 80's and even touch back to the 70's on no news, but i firmly believe BOCX is a winner and will run when least expected.
Only thing that bothers me about the results is that the sample size was so small (40 something of each sample). These will obviously have to be redone with much larger size (1000 or more) but at Abbott's (or whoever's) cost.
I remember with the Japanese Recaf results were about 5-10% lower than with the small sample. Still excellent but down to 85% instead of 90-95%.
When is the first day of fall? Need to mark this on my calendar.
Well after today's close i definitely expect B - Retrace to 80-90c range(85%).
Although experience has taught me to also hold out possibility of
A) continued run to $2 (14%)
or
C) immediate gap up to $5 (1%) based upon some miraculous PR (Abbot signs licensing deal with BOCX for $500M or something like that LOL)
Momo-traders will probably either
A) run it to $2 over the next week and then dump or (30%)
B) back fill to .80-90 and load up before doing A (70%)
Scenario B is what i'm hoping for. I've been following BOCX for 3 yrs now and i've never known it to leave an open gap unfilled LOL. Also, there is usually 4-5 days of increasing price/volume where the big boys like to load up. We didn't have any of that this time like there was prior to the Abbott announcement (we only 2 days with vol. over 100K). So i personally think B is more likely.
I am not a BOCX day-trader. I believe in this stock for the long haul. But i also don't like to chase it. I was hoping for a fast dip into the 50-60 range (similar to last year before the run to $2), otherwise i would have purchased my full position in the .70's.
I don't think we'll see the .70's again. We may drift down to fill the gap 80-90 but that's it. We are closer than ever to getting the licensing royalties Moro was talking about.
Got my bids in at .90 and .80. Hopefully this will fill it's gap. I doubt we'll see .70's anytime soon.
My only complaint is the gap left at .81-90
It will have to be filled at some point UNLESS we continue to get good news on the company.
I guess we passed the .88 mark LOL
Hmmmmmm, i can't remember. It could have been me, but i only posted on the Raging Bull boards.
Anyhow, sure looks like BOCX is getting some exposure at the conference - even if it is off the record LOL
Still waiting for the break of .88 (only 7c away!)
BOCX has the most beautiful looking chart i've seen in a long time. It is forming a "bowl" pattern (similar to the one back in 04-05). Once this passes the 200 EMA at .88 we're off to the races!
I wish i could have bought more at these low levels, but as predicted, my .70 bid never filled even last week when we hit .69.
I have been an investor of BOCX since 2003. My first purchase (3000 sh) was at .46
Then i rode it all the way down to .125. Added a bit (2000 sh) at 0.20. Sold 2/3 at $3.40. Sold the remaining 1/3 at 1.90
I missed the run from 50c - $2 when the Abbot deal was announced. I kept kicking myself, but i refused to chase the stock and instead vowed to buy-back my shares (and more) if it ever broke $1. It took several months of waiting but i was able to repurchase my shares at .95 and .75. It seems like i paid too much now (LOL) however, when you have a 10000 share bid sitting at .75 for over 3 months, you're greatful to get it filled on these damn pink sheets. I have had similar orders at .70 which have yet to get filled even though the bid/ask is less than my offer price!
In total, i have 30,000 shares and would love to have 50K if this hits .50
Ironically, i feel better about BOCX now vs. when i first heard of it in 2003. The Abbot deal is clearly the honey pot sweetner. I've been burned before with penny stocks but those were clearly pump & dumps with 500M and 1B o/s shares (big clue). BOCX has and continues to have less than 40M o/s which is a huge plus in my book.
Another plus is the fact that all 3 directors (Moro, Wittenburg and Gold) continue to accumulate this stock through their share option program.
