I think Sherman's predictions aren't out of the realm of possibility, given what we know.
Why do you think differently?
Just get me to dimes!
Shelf life for Hypochlorous Acid is horrendous which is why even though it's an effective cleaning/disinfecting solution it is not widely used.
If you were to order a 55 gallon drum of hypochlorous acid you would use 10 gallons and be left with a 45 gallon drum of useless salt water. It just doesn't last long.
That is why on-site generation is the key- and that's what PCTL does. It creates the product as it is needed and so it can be applied.
It's true that the actual cleaning solution (Hypochlorous Acid) isn't unique to PCTL. Their value is not necessarily or exclusively in the solution they create but rather in the process and the oversight they provide.
From the fillings:
On December 15, 2016, Paradigm acquired an EPA sub-registration (#82341-1-92108), which provides for entry into the facilities and agricultural markets described previously in this document. The company is actively pursuing sales under this registration and label. In addition, the Company has registered its products in several states, under its US EPA No. 92108-1.
On March 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Registration Transfer Agreement (“Transfer Agreement”) and a Data License and Assignment Agreement (“Data Agreement”) with a third party. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Company received United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) Registration number 82341-4 for Excelyte® VET for a one-time fee of $125,000.
On April 6, 2017, Paradigm, acquired the complete intellectual property, including know-how, trade secrets and patent rights to the hardware, firmware and software comprising the product inventory generation, disbursement, containerization, tracking and reporting system, trademarked as the Annihilyzer ® System. The Annihilyzer® System is designed to be employed on-site in healthcare facilities. The company already owns IP rights in the generation system employed in this integrated technology system.
Paradigm has developed proprietary know-how related to the reactor cells and generation systems that generate our Hydrolyte ® and Catholyte products. Paradigm continues, through its research and development program, to perfect the production innovation, know-how, trade secrets and patentable innovations incorporated into the improved production, inventory management and reporting systems. Current focus is on customizing system and equipment design to suite the production parameters and conditions in various specific venues and applications, e.g., agricultural field setting vs. packing house or oil and gas field.
On April 12, 2018 the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with a third party to purchase its exclusive rights to US EPA Product Registration No 83241-1 for a fixed fee. The Company paid $5,000 on execution of the agreement and has continued to make periodic installment payments for the purchase of this Registration. At December 31,2018, the Company owed $45,000 of installment payments
Ah, you know things are looking up when Jethro rolls back into this board.
Nice to see you again. Still have that sticky CAPS key I see.
Doubt it. That's just an RSS feed pulling in news in relevant industries.
$PCTL NEW HOD! Can we ride it into the closing.................::checks watch::..........No. But close!
Closing at a penny is awesome!
Now let's playing the waiting game
And that's really the question. If news of financing comes (as we all think it is) then how high do we realistically go?
All depends on what the news is and what it means short and long-term
I think a lot depends on what the company is doing and what happens from here on out.
Realistically speaking we should continue to trade in this channel for the rest of the week as long as news is still on the horizon. If news/filing doesn't materialize, we'll probably see a sell off.
If news/filings come- well, it all depends on what they are. If the company continues to place machines, grow the business and grow revenue, and continues to move forward in the right direction, we're objectively in a good position.
From there, it's easy to see a run to .10-.20 within the next 3-6 months but it all depends on how they deal with their debt, what the terms of any type of financing deal are, what their revenue growth looks like, etc...
Impossible to say what's truly realistic or unrealistic in my humble opinion. At least not until we know more. Every prediction is a guess at best and wishful thinking at worst.
I think $0.40 by EOW is unlikely, even with news/financing.
But happy to be proven wrong on that one.
Indeed.
There are a few things we KNOW to be true
-Revenue is increasing
-They signed an agreement to expand into the cannabis industry
-They expanded into the UK with likely more to come
So I'm banking on those 3 items being true.
There are a few things we THINK are likely true but have not been 100% confirmed yet
-Financing is either in place or nearly so. The lack of dilution despite notes coming due seems to indicate this. What kind of financing that is or what it means short and long-term we don't know yet.
Just gotta wait and see.
$PCTL Agreed. Calls for this running to $5 are not realistic for this year. .02ish is definitely reasonable for this week. With news and/or filings as catalysts it might go even higher. If the company makes the right moves we could creep to .05, then on to .10 and perhaps beyond that to .20 and up.
But I'd rather see slow, sustainable rises in pps rather than a huge spike followed by drastic over-correction.
The bottom line is PCTL is shaping up as a nice play in 2020 with a lot of potential and a lot of room to grow to .02 and well beyond if they make the right business moves. We could see short and long-term growth here out of copper and into nickel and silver within the next 3-6 months.
Good luck to all!
Ah just retailers taking profits at a penny. Many probably bought in during the low subs. Not a surprise. Let's see some consolidation and build a stronger base around a penny.
Any news sends us much higher.
Pennylaaaaaaanddd!
Different subject.
Just calling your twitter account "Stock Watch" doesn't make you any sort of legitimate account. All their tweets link to the same blog post about a pharma company.
They're just trying to pump and force eyes to their blog by tagging a bunch of hot and trending tickers with a series of bombshell claims and nothing to back them up.
It's clickbait.
PCTL has plenty going for it and plenty of potential without getting all worked up over a rando twitter account making false claims.
They don't have a reputation. They're a random twitter account with few followers trying to drive traffic to their blog.
I sincerely doubt it. It's a small twitter account that's just trying to direct traffic to their blog with "bombshell" tweets citing a lot of hot and trending tickers. But most, if not all, of their tweets all lead to the same blog post and it has nothing to do with PCTL or any of the stocks they mention in their tweets. It's all pumping some pharma company.
Guys, it's not real news. It's clickbait.
Good question. I doubt it would be out of compliance with organic standards. However, our tech doesn't prevent pests so it doesn't negate the need for pesticide use which is generally what people are concerned about with regard to organic produce.
It does help inhibit mold and bacterial growth but it wouldn't mean a farm wouldn't need to use pesticides for pest control.
My guess would be that a farm could use our tech to control crop disease from mold or bacterial growth but would need to employ something else for pest control.
Which doesn't mean they couldn't use organic farming methods in conjunction with our tech, but it's not a complete agricultural system in that regard.
That's the general line for Fidelity pinks but even with explaining that they still won't let you trade if there's a stop sign up on it. They'll let you do it if the stop sign is down but for most of this week the stop sign has been up and they won't allow trades to go through .
Serious question though:
Does anyone actually have any reason to think they're looking in this direction? Cruiseships and planes, that is. Or is this all just Ihub speculation and wishing?
I'm all for playing the "what if" game but let's slow our roll here if there's nothing substantial to make us think this.
It's all speculation at this point, for sure. I'm sure they've already thought about cruise ships and airplanes, etc. Maybe there's a way to make it work, maybe not.
The problem with airplanes would be the space. You'd have to have the cart small enough to roll down the narrow aisles of a plane. You'd also have to be able to have a place to generate the product before applying it. I don't think you could do on-site generation on the actual plane so there'd have to be somewhere at the airport to generate it and get it to the plane in a timely fashion.
Cruise ships probably present similar issues as well with regard to space, etc. And because I think they only have a short window of time to clean rooms daily. But perhaps it'd be more ideal for disinfecting in between voyages?
I dunno. I think cruise ships sound good in theory but airlines probably a better way to go.
But then, I think they've probably considered these things already.
Indeed, but the question was could that price happen next week. And I agree it can.
But I do think we're setting ourselves up to be much higher over the next 3-6 months.
.015-.020 is very doable within the next week if there's news and filing put out. And will likely run higher if the news is significant. But I wouldn't be looking to sell much before a nickel or a dime if I was anyone. Just my humble opinion. Of course it all depends on what the developments are, that is.
Slap it! Can we close over 8 today??
Competition is always good, especially for the consumer (in this case the "customer" is hospitals, AG, oil and gas, etc).
That said... it should be PCTL's biggest worry that there's ONE other company in their area. There's not. There's hundreds.
That is, hundreds of cleaning and disinfecting agents put out by dozens of companies, from big chemical companies to smaller time ones.
The so-called "establishment," (is "big chemical" a thing like "big pharma?") is the real problem and the real competition.
Believe me, PCTL would be thrilled if there was only one other competitor in the market. No, their biggest hurdle is getting over the hump of more established cleaning agents and ones which are already in widespread use; propagated by an industry with a lot more juice behind it than Annihilare.
Let's just for the sake of argument say that Annihilare were to blow up and become huge.... that would actually be a good thing for PCTL because they do the same thing. And it would mean that the tech and the process was being accepted and adopted.
With thousands of hospitals, airlines, agriculture, oil and gas, etc... companies out there... plenty of room for two players in the game.
So bring on the competition, I say. PCTL already has a running start.
$PCTL nice action early. News coming? Another green day would be great. Let's see some nice volume and hopefully get some news today.
And he's back!
Okay so clearly you didn’t pay attention to a word I just said. Good times.
Enjoy, bud. Do whatever you’d like
Considering you've never posted on this board until today and just happened to roll in here today starting to talk about this- the timing of it all is somewhat suspicious to a lot of the longs on this board.
But considering I'm not a conspiracy theorist I'll just go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just honestly asking.
This info has been known to long-term holders for a long time.
Longs and those who have done their DD knew fell well years ago that Annihilare created the tech and sold it to PCTL.
It's also been known for a long time that there was a dispute between PCTL and Annihilare regarding certain parts of the tech. A lot of that has been/is being sorted out. It's been in the filings and is not a secret.
I recommend you do your due diligence. As I would recommend to anyone investing their hard-earned money in any company.
PCTL has a much better start than Annihilare does with regard to being "first to market" so to speak. And has more prestigious clients, more offers, more placements, etc.
The actual cleaning product that PCTL makes - Hypochlorous acid - is nothing new. It's been known to science since the 1800's. The problem with Hypochlorous acid is that while it's an effective cleaning and sanitizing agent, it degrades quickly. If you buy a 55 gallon drum of it, you'll use 10 gallons and find yourself with 45 gallons of saltwater left over.
So yes, anyone can manufacture it (you can buy it on Amazon) but it doesn't last long so no one manufacturers it in the kind of bulk quantities that a hospital or similar institution would need. And hospitals don't buy it in bulk for that reason.
The patent and the tech here is not in the manufacture of the cleaning solution itself- that product is not proprietary. Rather, it's in the process and the tracking that come along with it. PCTL is able to create Hypochlorous acid on-demand which delivers an effective disinfecting agent at a fraction of the cost of chemical agents and in a more human and environmentally friendly way. No bleach stench, no bleach burns, no allergic reactions, etc. You can walk into the room while it's being used if you wanted to, no problem.
Annihilare may exist. Sure. And they may present competition to PCTL as well. Heck, maybe they can even do the same thing.
The same way that Pepsi has Coke, General Mills has Post, Campbells has Progresso, etc and so on and so forth.
If there's infringement, they'll fight it out in court.
In the end, there are plenty of pieces of pie to go around for two companies operating in similar areas. Competition is not a bad thing.
Yeah doesn’t look nice
Definitely possible within 3-6 months here

Read through the filings.
Yep. Nothing to worry about. It's all good.
The basic skinny is this:
PCTL didn't really "invent" the tech. They mostly bought the company and the product from the company that did. Took over their location and even some of their employees. Some components/processes were developed jointly.
There's obviously been an ongoing dispute between these two entities for some time over what belongs to who and who can use what, etc. It's been listed in filings before.
So Annihilare is the "new" company (meaning the "old" company) and they're trying to get back in to what they do with basically the same product just slightly different.
It's been known to longs for a while now and none of us are bothered or worried by it. It's all good #thumbsup
Precisely
They are a competitor
From the 9/16 10-Q from PCTL:
On July 30, 2019, the Company accepted a settlement proposal from Annihilare, Inc. (a sub-registrant of the Company’s US EPA Registration No. 92108-1) and its affiliated company, Prime ITS (a prior owner of Annihilyzer Inc, which transferred previously noted intangible IT assets to PCT LTD for 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in November of 2016). The settlement agreement included credit to the Company by Prime ITS in the gross amount of $23,209 on the Company’s payable to Prime ITS for a combination of a portion of Marty Paris’ salary, a resignation from Marty Paris effective July 31, 2019, and equal valued amount of PCT’s inventory, for net credit to PCT in the amount of $13,939, which was received by the Company on July 31, 2019. The transaction was completed on August 1, 2019.
On August 8, 2019, the Company received notice from PRIME ITS that certain technology services utilized by the Company shall cease to be provided, effective September 8, 2019. The Company will obtain competitive quotes from other technology services providers.
On August 8, 2019, the Company received notice from Annihilare, Inc. that certain intellectual properties developed jointly between the Company and Annihilare are to be discontinued from use by the Company and its customers. The Company disputes the claims from Annihilare that the intellectual properties are exclusively Annihilare’s and are in discussions with Annihilare on this point. Until this issue is resolved, the impact to the Company is minimal because the Company’s healthcare customers primarily benefit from the disinfecting fluid solutions utilized by deploying the Company’s Annihilyzer Infection Control System, along with the Company-owned, patent-protected RFID disinfectant/material tracking system. The disputed issue is relative to a protocol software system, which is not a necessary feature of the Company’s Annihilyzer Infection Control System. The protocol software system is considered a complimentary feature and the Company expended employee time and expertise in its development.
Yes, it's been known to longs for a while now.
