Yeah, it would be nice to get a follow-up on this ongoing AG trial. We haven't heard much and the 1-year trial ended in October. Or thereabouts.
It would not be immediately adopted, no. But it would be an important first step towards widespread adoption. And it could quickly become a standard recommendation or requirement.
The first important step is this first U.K. hospital. The trial kicks off this week!
And as Gary said- unless their microbes are different over there, they’ll see the same positive results that the US based hospitals are seeing
There was a lot of factors that led to that run. We have more substantial factors here in PCTL than they ever did.
You can never rule out a run! And you'll want to be holding tight when it happens, for sure.
.10 is a good short-term projection for stable growth imho. I think we'll continue to rise (sure, there'll be some dips and retraces here and there). But I see positive movement continuing here.
This is very true. I know a lot of people want to hold on for the big payday. Trust me, you can have a plenty big payday at $0.50 or $0.75 without holding on too long believing that the elusive $1 is coming.
This this week will tell us a lot. And I think what it says will be very good
Absolutely true. There's a difference between the PPS and the true valuation of the company. I think sometimes on here the wires get crossed as to which we're talking about.
IF you want to talk about what the share price could run to? The sky is the limit. We all saw what happened with the seafood company last year...
No one wants to miss that if it happens here!
I think that may a bit too optimistic to be honest. That said, with the right news, filings, and momentum there's no telling what we could run to.
I fully expect us to be at .02-.04 by the end of this week if we keep the momentum going. And from there, the sky is the limit as more news and info comes out.
My conservative estimates aside, I don't plan on selling anytime soon and no one with a significant amount of shares should be considering it either.
PCTL is going places. It's just a question of how long it takes to get there. Some are a bit more exuberant about it but the sentiment is correct in that we're going up
Yep, Level head is the name of the game, I think. This stock could run to a dollar at any time. We all know that. I just don't want people setting their sights too high and too unrealistic.
.50 is 100% doable this year if we buy and hold and wait for all the positive things we know and suspect are happening to develop.
Yes. But that's a big "IF"
Their sales cycle for hospitals is between 6-18 months right now. How are you going to magically conjure up 13 contracts and 26 machines per month starting right now, given that sales cycle?
Look all, I'm as long on PCTL as anyone else. I've been on this board since last year. All my posts on ihub are on this board lol. PCTL is all I use ihub for.
I want them to crank out 13 contracts a month at 2 units per contract too- but nothing about their past performance or current state says that this is happening now or is even close to happening. We're halfway through January already.
I believe they'll ramp up sales and acquisition, I believe the sales cycle will reduce from 6-18 months. I believe the cannabis and UK trials will go well. I believe things are moving in the right direction. I believe all of that.
I believe we'll continue to go up (barring retail selling and a little retrace).
I believe they'll place more machines and I believe the stars are aligning.
But to go from placing roughly 1 unit every month-month and a half in 2019 to estimating them placing 26 per month starting this month is not realistic.
I'll be the happiest mf'er on this board if they come anywhere close to half of that but c'mon, folks. Relax with the excessive pumping and the "what ifs" and the "if they could just" etc...
Yeah, if they could just get into all hospitals on the planet that would be really good too. It aint happenin' just yet.
There's plenty to be excited about and plenty of anticipated positive developments to rub your hands over without shooting too high at unrealistic goals or expectations.
Yes, if we "just" do something that requires an incredible amount of time, effort, money, diligence and luck then yes, we'll be trading that much higher.
Do you have any idea what it would take to get a single product into 20% of all hospitals in two countries?
Even with all their recent hype and buzz. The UK trial in ONE hospital is just starting this week and will take a minimum of 30 days. Probably closer to 60. That puts us at best in mid-February or mid-March just for that trial in one hospital to END. To say nothing of the follow-up which could take months more.
If this gets into "20% of hospitals in the US and UK" it will take years. Not weeks or months. Years.
Even $25 million is a high estimate in my opinion.
Could be there with new info re: revenue, financing, deals, etc.
The reason the price is so low right now (even with all our recent movement) is because this is still a company with low revenue, low sales, a not insignificant amount of debt, and a flagship product that has a 6-18 month sales cycle.
Company valuations aren't based on "what ifs."
Things are moving in the right direction. There's a LOT to be excited about. But it's all in the hands of the company right now to do the right thing and keep growing the business, moving it in the right direction.
What's the financing situation with regard to debt? We'll find out soon I think.
How does the UK trial shake out? The trial period kicks off this week and will be a minimum of 30 days which puts us in mid-February before we hear anything.
What about cannabis and oil and gas? Still a few months out on those as well.
If PCTL does the right thing and keeps us moving in the right direction, we're in good shape over the next 3-6 months.
But they're not a $5 company right now and they're not even a $0.50 company right now. They can get there. And we may be worth $0.50 sooner rather than later; but as of right now, we're maybe looking at a $0.05 price at the moment on the conservative side of things.
There's a lot of work to be done and this is far from over.
Yes but all of those things do not exist yet.
Just relax with the excessive pumping and unrealistic predictions. This will not be worth $5 anytime soon.
Doesn't mean it can't get higher, doesn't mean it can't run hard, and doesn't mean it can't make us all very rich. But $5 is not realistic.
Thank you. I don't have an issue with people being optimistic about the stock. I don't even mind a little mild pumping. What I do mind is people trying to tell newcomers "just buy it all. Buy as much as you can. Lock it up for dollars. I'm not selling until we hit $10!"
It's just not true and it's not realistic. And what's more- none of the people spouting that will be holding and waiting for this to hit $10. Not one of them.
There's a lot to like about PCTL and a lot to be excited for in 2020 without setting unrealistic expectations. Dimes are possible this year. Dollars not so much. And if they were to come, it'd be fleeting so catch it if it does.
I think this is a reasonable assessment. Everyone knows that crazy runs can happen in the OTC. So could PCTL have one of those in them this year? Sure. But you can't predict it. You can't plan for it. You just have to be lucky enough to catch it if it happens.
Look what happened with the seafood... Shot right up... and crashed right back down. Yes, those things can happen.
So we're all in agreement that sometimes some things can happen...
But in terms of a realistic evaluation of where PCTL is headed, I don't think anyone should seriously believe we're reaching dollars anytime soon. At least not in the sustainable kind of way.
Let's just get to a nickel first. Then we'll worry about dimes and dollars.
.05-.10 is possible over the next few weeks/months. And .10-.20 could come this year if all goes right with financing, UK, cannabis, etc.
If we do happen to catch a crazy run to a buck.. I hope everyone pulls the trigger and makes a boatload.
There may very well be a deal in the works behind the scenes. Something is taking care of the notes. But it's not a BOA loan. And if it is, it sure as hell isn't because a random small twitter account with a handful of followers tweets about it.
Stockwatch is not a real account. It's a small twitter account with a small amount of followers. All of their tweets tag hot and trending stocks. But all the links are the same and they all link to the same blog post on their site which talks about the same stock (not PCTL).
There's not a BOA deal coming. It's not true or real.
There may well be financing in place but I can almost guarantee you it is not because a random twitter account with 40 followers tweets about it.
Yawn. Same old song. Same old news.
Got anything original to say?
Well, we broke the resistance in the 2's and 3's last time and ran out of steam in the 4's.
Meh. I'll take it either way. Not sellin' anytime soon anyhow
I'd actually not be surprised to see it test .02 Monday.
One would think a little birdy seems to think something's up and called all the other birdies in.
Oh yes. I expect we'll see some bigger days ahead next week as well.
I'm not saying anything negative. I'm just saying nothing goes up in a straight line.
I think a lot of people buy on Friday going into the weekend in circumstances such as this where we're in a holding pattern for news. In the offchance news or filings are done on Friday at the close or after hours- they don't want to be left out of a run on Monday.
If nothing comes out on Friday or over the weekend or Monday pre-market, we see an early morning sell-off. Nothing new for PCTL or any stock where news is anticipated.
So I fully expect us to retrace a bit Monday morning before the buying picks back up again and we hit .015 and head on our way to the 2's.
End of day profit takers lol.
30 days starting on January 15th.
There are a few factors but the short story is primarily a lack of sales/placements in 2018 and the beginning of 2019 in addition to toxic financing which led to dilution.
Sales and placements have ramped up and dilution is apparently over- even though some notes came due over the last 1-2 months which has led to speculation that there is a new form of financing in place that has not yet been made public.
Yeah maybe it's 25-30. I don't remember exactly but I do remember them saying they could ramp it up to 50 if they needed to by bringing in extra people.
It's definitely in one of the filings or PRs somewhere but I can't find it just yet. But it's in there.
Either way, their production capability far outweighs the current demand. I don't know if they've been just sitting around building units with no home or if they wait for orders (I suspect this is it).
But... it should be their (and our) biggest problem that they have demand that outpaces their production capabilities. If they're struggling to meet demand for 25-30 units per week... well, then good things are indeed happening.
Honestly I don't recall. It's in one of the filings or PR's though for sure. I'll see if I can find it a bit later.
And it's right back at .012.
This has been a fun exercise in learning that stocks, especially volatile ones, move throughout the day and the price that it was 2 minutes ago is not necessarily the price it will be at 2 minutes from now.
Tune in tomorrow for our next lesson on how nothing goes up in a straight line.
They manufacture it themselves and can produce 20-25 units per week if needed. More is possible based on demand.
Fortunately for your particular worry, they haven't had that kind of demand yet.
Unfortunately for us/them... they haven't had that kind of demand yet.
But soon.............
I see this is your first post on this board so I'll give the benefit of the doubt but as someone who has been here since waaaay back here's the deal:
They're late on filing. And that sucks. And 1,000 other companies are late on filing every day and that sucks too.
They'll file when they file. They've always filed in the past, even when late.
Most recently they've been late with their last two filings and I agree this most recent one is very late. But the belief/speculation is there's a good reason behind it.
Regardless, we'll know soon enough. The filings will come and they'll be current.
Indeed.
Not to mention I think this is mostly fluff and wishful thinking on their part. They might uplist to OTCXB or something but Nasdaq? Please. That's just shady af to put that in there.
So why even mention NASDAQ in the title? It's misleading and not productive imo. PCTL has enough going for it without trying to start unsubstantiated rumors.
NASDAQ has a min $3 bid price for listing. We're nowhere near that.
There's nothing on here about Nasdaq. Where is that coming from?
I don't think the intended use is to disinfect a room while the patient is in the room. I think the general usage is to disinfect the room after a patient has been discharged and in preparation for the next patient.
Just wanting to inject here- getting into the UK is huge for exactly this reason. It's also the reason we were all stoked about getting into Canada with the Ontario deal that didn't materialize.
It's a big foot in the door... BUT... getting into one hospital does not automatically guarantee getting into "all of them."
Not to be a downer, just saying temper your expectations and realize that if that happens, it'll be a lengthy process to get there.
I think this might be accurate. Not sure why they anticipated it last year and obviously it didn't happen, but seems like they're on the road to ramping things up now.
