I'm sure I wasn't the only lifetime subscriber who complained about all of the marketing emails. "Since I already subscribe, why are you sending me advertising for something I already own?" They promised for about a year and finally got all of the filters working. I no longer get ads to subscribe from any of the Agora affiliates for newsletters I already get, unless they're 'forwarded' from other newsletters.
My guess is that's why you (nor I) have seen that ad.

I doubt that it will have much effect on your blood sugar. Based on the ingredient list and the strength of the flavor, my guess (and it's really a guess) is that there's about the same or less caloric content (it's not listed on the label) in a day's dosage as in a packet of Splenda (R). To top that off, you're spreading the dosage over a 24 hour period.
I forgot and took my morning 2 lozenges just before my last 'fasting' blood test a few weeks ago and HbA1c, glucose, etc., were all the same or lower than the previous test.

Maybe they don't want to be compared as a tobacco products company.

It's still automatic, but you can set the interval to longer than 30 days. I recently changed mine to 45.
Dino
Can't find the post, but it was on Raging Bull. Eighthaero has visited the mine several times and reported what he saw. That's probably my source.
I started accumulating in late June of 2010, so I've been following this for quite a while.

As I recall, Mexus has been producing 10-14 ounces per week using the trammel. The cost of the operation was running about US$1500 for the same period. The new system will increase the production by st least an order of magnitude. How much will production cost rise? Dunno.

The last time I visited their offices, I would hardly describe them as a pedestal. Dean's office was somewhat crowded, looking like a true work in progress. The rest of the area that I could see looked like more of the same. Boxes of literature and samples everywhere and no fancy furniture or wall hangings. I used to work at Avon Product's "home office", so I know the difference between fancy and functional.
The folks were excited about their product and enthusiastic. I went home and placed an order...to buy more shares.
Dino
Familyman,
The reaction to Sucralose for some people is really strong. My granddaughter can only tolerate two of the flavored lozenges per day. Even that makes her feel sick to her stomach. With her colitus, that's not a good thing. Even at two per day, she noticed that the pain in her knee went away and her flare-ups weren't as bad. She didn't tell me until last week, so I'll take the bottle of unflavored Anatabloc that arrived yesterday to her on Monday.

I right click on th e picture and select "copy shortcut". Not all pages/pictures will allow this. They grey out the option. Here's one from the top of this page. It pastes http://mkta.advfn.com/oasisc.php?s=77&c=999, but the img tag says to execute the link.
Dino
Hmmm, that one didn't work. I don't know what the difference is. Sorry.
From a web site it's easy. Bring up the picture in your browser and copy the URL. To the left of the text box for creation posts there's a columb of buttons. the 4th one down is 'Image'. Click on it and it inserts the 'picture follows' and 'picture ends' tags into your message. Place your cursor between the tags and paste the URL. Voila! when you see the post, it will have the picture embedded. Such as:

Yup. I didn't think it looked right.

"What I'm saying, and have said this dozens of times, is that this is a stock that trades on speculation."
That sounds a lot like what I said. Sentiment IS more important than TA. Your charts tell us what the stock price did in the past and, all other things being equal (which, or course, they seldom are), predict the direction of the price in the near future. However, a general sentiment may, and a specific one will, override the previous pattern. I've always thought charts give a visual picture of what the market thought of (sentiment) the company's future in the past. It's based in large part on human nature.
They are definitely useful, but you should never forget annother quote, this one, if I remember correctly, from Keanes. "The market can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent."
Perhaps where we differ is on our definition of 'irrational.'
Dino
I don't know. If I were trading this stock, I'd care. Maybe that's a bad attitude, but I think the price will be much higher in a few years. I might consider selling some then. That opinion is not based on technical analysis, rather on the fact that the products seem to be good and the management seems competant. I'm not a chartist. I just ran across that quote from a world famous one and thought it to be appropriate.
Dino
“If there are only 100 investors in the world, and 99 of them are bearish, and then one of them turns bullish, 98% of all investors still will be bearish––but the market will go up!”
-- Walter Deemer, former Chief Market Strategist at Putnam Investments
from Walt Deemer’s new book, Deemer on Technical Analysis.
In other words, TA is great and can be very accurate, but when public opinion changes, you might as well throw your old charts in the trash and start making new ones...from scratch.

Report from Short Pump GNC.
I stopped in at the closest GNC to the Glen Allen HQ. They had half a dozen bottles on the shelf. The clerk said that lots of people were coming in to buy it, asking for it by name. She didn't know much about it, but it was quite popular. I told her some of the reasons for using it and suggested looking at the web site.
Dino
Good point. Didn't really think about it before offering an off-hand response. I know better. Sorry.
My last comment still holds, though. He's a smart man.
Dino
Sounds like the General Counsel is not a man of independant means. He waited until the last moment, probably hoping that the PPS would be very high so that he sould keep most of his option shares. I suppose that's a smart move anyway, so maybe he's just a smart man.
Dino
Interesting that he charges a premium for email delivery. Most publishers encourage elimination of the paper copy. Some even give a discount. My bank and stock accounts charge extra to mail statements. I agree that it gets the information to me sooner and, therefor, it's more valuable, but this is the first time I've seen someone charge extra for reducing his distribution costs.
Dino
I changed my recurring order last night to the non-flavored version. Too late for this month's shipment, but on 5/16/12, order number A2012501336786 ships.
Dino
Stock-peeker,
Sorry, I cna't send private messages. (Too cheap!) I can respond by email if you would like to send me your address.
Dino
Actually, there are two recommendations that I know about. The first one was some time ago by John Doody and the one yesterday was by Matt Badiali. His S & A Resource Report is only $99/year. I can't give you a link to the report since it's protected, copyrighted, etc., but here's a link to sign up. http://www.stansberryresearch.com/products.asp
I've found Matt to be a good source of leads. I think he's been waiting to suggect this one until the 43-101 was filed. It's been filed, just not yet approved. You know, those government agents are busy. We have to be patient.
Dino
A recomendation by a well regarded newsletter. Predicting triple digit gains gets people's attention.
Dino
That's just the beginning. Wait till the margin calls go out tonight.
Dino
That's expensive. US Dollar $146.00 for 1 bottle, $144.00 each for 2+
Euro 109.37 for 1, 107.87 for 2+
$1.00 = 0.75 Euro (EUR
Dino
The lozenges are mint flavored. That is a very similar smell to most mentholated products such as the ointment you showed us.
Dino
If you can, I think it'd be a good idea. You save at least the 8 - 10% premium for the rounds. They are unique, at least for the moment. I didn't see who would pay the postage if you took delivery.
Unfortunately, most of my stock is in an IRA. So...I'll watch.
Dino
Sorta makes tracking order numbers an exercise in futility, doesn't it?
What would help a little is to note the return address of both the confirmation email and the shipping label. If the order was shipped from CT, then it was fulfilled by Star's fullfillment house. Since they're handling it, they may use the same numbering system. If I were setting it up (and I did that sort of thing for several years) that's what I'd do.
One other possibility to explore, however, is that case (wholesale) orders might use a different series. Remember, Star would like to know that information also. Keeping track of that by customer ID (GNC, CVS, etc.) would be normal. Subtracting that total from the total number of wholesale orders would give a rough idea of how many health professionals were ordering.
Dino
Star does the fulfillment for orders coming via Amazon. Since they use the same fulfillment house to process them, I think the order numbers are probably not a separate series. I can't speak for the GNC orders, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that they're handled the same way.
Dino
The order number is probably 109136, which couldn't all be Anatabloc, I'm sure. The 20120216 is just your order date, 2012/02/16 in collating sequence format - year, month, day.
Dino
In a chat session with Star, I asked about shipping to Finland. His response was to order the product directly from Amazon.com. When I went to Amazon, they provide the product through Apple Health. Hmmm.
Two possible ideas. Someone her reported that you can lower your shipping cost by quitting the purchase. Apple Health responded by offering to lower the price.
The second idea is to order the CigRx 3-pack for $20 less than the carton of Anatabloc. Since the strength of the CigRx is about one third that of the Anatabloc, it should be cheaper. I took CigRx until Anatabloc became available. I seemed to work about the same. I just took 3 times as many lozenges.
Dino
Just visited a local CVS.
The clerk was very helpful. CigRx is packaged in a small heavy stock "box", with the plastic dispenser showing through a cutout. The box is designed to hang from a clip display. Unfortunately, the placement wasn't very good. The clerk asked me what I needed, long before I saw the product. I might still be looking. It was behind the counter on the edge of the cigars.
The product costs $3.99/pack, which is cheaper than most, if not all, of the cigarettes on sale. The clerk said they sell a lot of it. He smokes, so tried it once. He's thinking of trying it again. Interesting comment. He said that smoking a cigarette after sucking on a lozenge made him feel nauseous. Never heard that before.
The clerk had never heard of Anatabloc.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
Dino
You can order it from Amazon.com.
Dino
A) Court orders don't always cover everything. (Maybe they never do.)
B) Ownership of stock in a company probably doesn't constitute a "profit" in legal terms, even though stock sales were the only form of "profit" for SSTP.
C) A shell corporation, legally registered, is saleable. If it is or can quickly become fully reporting, it's even more valuable. That's what I was referring to when I said reverse merger. That's how Capital Arts (CAPA) went public. Saves on legal bills if it's done right.
Dino
Yes, I know. That's why I think she holds the controlling interest.
Dino
Probably his wife.
Dino
Watch for a reverse merger and a reverse split, not necessarily in that order.
Dino
Best guess is that the entire gold mining market was spooked by the news at Hecla's Lucky Friday mine and the report yesterday from Kinross. $700/'equivalent' ounce ?!? Yuk!
The fact that GORO's cost/ounce is nearing zero is ignored in a panic mode.
Dino
Is this more like what you have in mind?

It's not using Anatabloc, but is is an opportunity for the company.
The problem is that it's published, easily found information. I don't need a forum to make me aware of it. Conclusions I draw from this article, conversations with friends, etc., might be valuable, or at least interesting, to other. If you suppress that, you eliminate most of the usefullness of this board.
Dino
I think they are about 10 miles away. On the western edge of Richmond. However, Westwood seems to be a chain in several states, NC and CO have them. I don't know if its the same company or, even if it is, whether they all carry the product. If I get over in that direction, I'll stop in and chech it out.
Dino
Heard a commercial for Anatabloc on the golden oldies radio station in Richmond. Anatabloc is now available at two local drugstore chains. Oh yeah, a doctor recommends it. Or was it just someone playing the role? Oh well, the news is that it is available at retail outlets.
