Congratulations! You almost managed to keep your comments on the performance of the company. Only one slip into anti-Semitic memes. You're getting the knack, I guess.
Keep trying, maybe you'll make it all the way.
I wish you guys would confine your criticism of RELI and its management to the performance of the company and the stock, and not continuously make references to the personal and private religious beliefs and practices of Beyman etc. ("Half-day Fridays", "feed him pork", "Fagin" etc.)
There's plenty to criticize and vehemently protest about management's decisions and statements without getting into silly ethnic jokes and ridicule, which are totally irrelevant to RELI's issues.
If the CEO were Black, Hispanic, or Muslim, and similar comments were made, you guys wouldn't have lasted a New York minute.
Seems like Q's posts are kind if like a Rorschach test. Everybody sees what they want in his cryptic messages, depending on their personal feelings.
From the 10-K:
"As part of our growth and acquisition strategy, we are currently in negotiations with several non-affiliated parties and expect to complete a number of material insurance asset transactions throughout the course of 2023 and beyond."
Past experience doesn't give much hope... but IF some of these negotiations do bear fruit, it will IMO finally be the beginning of regaining some level of credibility. Long ways to go.
Just curious.. Did any of you guys/gals attend the meeting and express your frustration and anger at the way this has turned out?
If yes, please share what the reaction was. If not, why not?
One thing's for sure - anybody who has some confidence that ADNA has their act together to become profitable, now's the time to jump in. EOM
A top Chinese health official has warned the public to avoid “skin-to-skin contact with foreigners” to prevent the spread of monkeypox after the country confirmed its first case, AFP reports. China recorded the infection on Friday in a person who had recently arrived from overseas and is in quarantine, health officials had said earlier.
“To prevent possible monkeypox infection and as part of our healthy lifestyle, it is recommended that you do not have direct skin-to-skin contact with foreigners,” Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, wrote in a post on his official twitter-like Weibo account.

Uh... I don't think so...
But just a thought- if that Sarah Katz happens to be following our thread, and sees your message, I wonder what she'll think about that guy whom she once dated, when she sees your - um, how shall we say - colorful posting archive?
Public Service Announcement, Part 2: (for the die-hard conspiracists)
It seems that there are those who are infantile enough to draw a connection between any two people whose last names end in the same letter. Just for the record, I have never seen or met ShanaK. We do not have the same last name.
Moral of the story: There are a lot of people in New Jersey whose last name begins with a K.
Public service announcement:
Contrary to the gossip on this board, a simple inquiry was sufficient to verify that there is no connection whatsoever, in any way, shape or form, between Mr. Elie Katz of NRS and ShanaK.
Moral of the story: there are a lot of Katzes in New Jersey.
Hope you're right- seems like there's a lot of downward pressure on the SP now, maybe shorts trying to cover, who knows. Time will tell-
What are you anticipating regarding CUNY that wasn't already included in the Aug. 9th release?

"One death. There are more people murdered by gunshot in the city of Chicago each day. More people die from auto accidents each day. More people die each day from overdoses of fentanyl, other opioids, as well as good old heroin.
Which is the greater health concern?"
Your analogy only works up to a point. If a victim of a shooting in Chicago produced germs that might spread all over and cause other people to be shot; or every person who OD'd created germs that make others also OD, you'd be right.
But in those cases, each situation, tragic as it may be, is isolated. This is not true in the case of monkeypox. As health authorities have declared, there is a concern that infections could spread more widely, crossing into the general population, and they have declared it an emergency.
Are they overreacting? Maybe, because nobody wants to be blamed for underreacting. Either way, APDN is part of the response, and the worst-case scenario of broad infection can be averted.
I looked around a little, and it does appear that there is cautious optimism that the outbreak is slowing down. For instance, the following:
https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20220829/us-monkeypox-outbreak-may-be-slowing
But the reason is not that the virus itself is dying out; it's because of more robust medical intervention, mainly in the form of vaccines and educational efforts to modify behaviors within more vulnerable populations.
This means, IMO, that health resources will be sure to seize on any tool that emerges to continue this trend. An effective PCR will definitely find an eager market. All IMO.
"The monkeypox outbreak is showing signs of slowing in the big US cities, thus the waning interest for monkeypox stocks"
It's hard to know for sure if the actual data shows that the outbreak is slowing down. The media hype shifted when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, so we've been hearing less about the previous hype-de-jour, monkeypox.
We'll have to see what unfolds here. All JMO, of course.
I emailed the Company this afternoon, asking if they had any sense from the NYS Health Department when to expect a reply to their PCR application.
I received a reply pretty quickly:
"Hello -
New York State Department of Health offered no guidance on a timeline for its decision to either approve or refuse our diagnostic. What they have communicated to us is that all monkeypox virus-related submissions are being expedited, however, they did not define 'expedited.' "
(emphasis added)
That's a very important point - thanks for pointing it out.
I wonder what their capacity is to produce the kits. Can they match the demand if this thing really begins to spread?
Little odd that they would choose to publicize this on a Friday afternoon, especially in the summer, rather than waiting till Monday morning, the beginning of a fresh trading week. Oh well...
It's now a week since the Q3 report. The CEO said that they would be providing New York State with the final version of the PCR tests "in two weeks, if not sooner".
That IMO is the next possible trigger to watch for. If there is genuine concern about the growing spread of monkeypox, and testing is lagging, this will be a big step.
As someone noted here earlier, it is not very pleasant to be "looking forward" to other people's misery just to make a couple of bucks... but the misery is there already, and this could actually minimize it. That's at least how I look at it.
Not at all... just stating the obvious.
I agree - the MMs and deep pool will play with it a little longer, let it run then bring it down again, but once there's actual commercial progress - which hopefully isn't too far off - that will be another story.
I'm a little surprised that there wasn't more positive movement in APDN after hours, following the CC. IMO the presentation was impressive; not necessarily new info, but well organized and detailed, not hype, just concrete steps that have potential in several areas.
Maybe tomorrow we'll see more reaction.
Scientifically, it doesn't seem to be anywheres near the threat that COVID presented, both in terms of how easily it spreads, and the risk to life.
But politically, it is a different story. The current administration has to demonstrate that they are out in front of this, unlike their accusations (accurate or not) that Trump wasn't proactive enough when COVID began. They will probably overreact, to then be able to take credit for "stopping" a major outbreak.
That of course is good for APDN. Bring it on, Brandon!
Of course it will take time and money for this new application to develop, and perhaps become a commercial reality. But the more exciting potential at the moment is the PCR testing for monkeypox, which is close to commercial use, or so it seems.
If that is even moderately successful, money won't be the issue for other projects. IMO, anyway.
Doesn't any breakthrough treatment begin with mice studies? Not that this is necessarily a major breakthrough, but the fact that it is effective in mice is the first step.
So why the sarcasm? Just wondering.
Personally, I think the price drop is just regular market games, not connected to any specific development with the company. JMO.
Whoops, GC, hadn't seen your post when I posted the link- you beat me to it!
AH also low volume... maybe people are waiting cautiously for the CC on Thursday before committing more cash here.
Based on..?
Those filings are dated from Feb. until the first week in July, and appear to refer to past events. Why did they surface only now?
OK, hope that will make a difference.
You keep mentioning the Atlanta connection. Why is that a factor in getting funds?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. will declare a public health emergency to bolster the federal response to the monkeypoxoutbreak that has infected more than 6,600 Americans, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The announcement will free up federal money and other resources to fight the virus, which may cause fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and pimple-like bumps on many parts of the body. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.
The declaration comes as the Biden administration has faced criticism over monkeypox vaccine availability. Clinics in major cities such as New York and San Francisco say they haven’t received enough of the two-shot vaccine to meet demand, and some have had to stop offering the second dose to ensure supply of first doses.
The White House said it has made more than 1.1 million doses available and has helped to boost domestic diagnostic capacity to 80,000 tests per week.
The monkeypox virus spreads through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact, including hugging, cuddling and kissing, as well as sharing bedding, towels and clothing. The people who have gotten sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men. But health officials emphasize that the virus can infect anyone.
Even with the inevitable profit taking, there are a lot more buyers than sellers. Very strong sign IMO.
That's right, it's not about the past, it's all about the future. They are positioned well to have a big place in this new health challenge.
