Several months back, somebody was posting a list of about 12-15 catalysts that we had in the hopper with general timeframes. The were a little redundant when posted almost every day, but if they were posted every other Monday or so, I think it'd be a great reminder of why the longs are excited.
We've also had a lot of new eyes on the board recently, so it may be educational for them as well.
My first few thousand shares were bought back in the mid-.30s, but I've been adding periodically due to the science and potential here. For all those concerned with a little pullback here, realize that over the last 3 years, we've enjoyed a 10 bagger here. It's not like this is our first pullback in all that time, either...
Making up future prices is an exercise in creative writing. And making up reasons for pullbacks when we don't really have concrete information is the same. Microcaps can and will be manipulated. Small and Mid-cap will be, as well. And large caps can over-react to rumors and news as well. Systems develop because of patterns and trends. Enough people believing in something make it truth, at least until a new truth comes along. So many computers and algorithms moving so many more shares than ever before can skew volatility. Markets are not rational because the ultimate decision making is still made by people.
Good companies, with good science/technology/models, good leadership, and flexibility have always done better in the long term. With a whole antibiotic/anti-inflammatory platform to develop, a cancer treatment that works alone on at least a couple of forms of cancer and could be beneficial in combination with current main-stream treatments (i.e. it's not the sort of threat that big-pharma is likely to shut down b/c it could make a great sidekick), and a targeted psoriasis drug, and a whole slew of compounds yet to be fully explored, this little biotech has a lot more going for it than most of us can fully appreciate.
Can you really blame our CEO for sounding a little excited at times? Or for being slightly inconsistent in his language or phrasing? IND prep to oversee, CROs to manage, FDA meetings, travel to visit suppliers and potential investors, financials to review and submit, drug development to keep track of, exchange registration and uplisting to worry about, a board of directors to develop, shelf registrations to secure potential future financing, intelligently managing the Aspire deal that's let us get this far, the Aruda issues, conferences and presentations, interviews to prepare for, PRs to develop, and probably a lot more that we don't realize. (Not to mention, he still has a family and theoretically a life outside of CTIX.) He has a lot going on. CTIX has a lot going on.
Much thanks to Big Kahuna, KarinCA, BioHedge, EtradeEdge, Ovidius, the Monolith, INH, Wild, Addict, Gov, the Dane, ShinSekai, Apparition, Dr. J/George, all the TA guys, Smitty, the Toms, the traders, the longs, the excited, and the worried for making this the best board and a good daily read. My apologies to any I forgot. It's a nice community here. Very knowledgeable, willing to share, and diverse. But all here for the same reason.
Cheers to all!
GO CTIX!
