Elite is less than a pipsqueak company in the scheme of things and their ADF tech is antiquated, doesnt work, will never get approved as is.
Besides that mess, Elite has no signature product or technology. Its just a generic manufacturer with tiny revenues and a team of incompetents running it.
Who the heck would give a spit about holding Elite down? They do a good job of that all by themselves!! lol
This theory is something I can wrap my mind around AR. For a big company trying to stop the progress of ELTP can easily spend a few millions as apposed to loosing a billion dollars in the revenues. This makes a lot of sense and eltp will prevail if they stick to the business plan and not worry about the short term p/s. I am here and will see this through either way. Good luck to all longs.
All that is needed for a sustained negative influence is a steady supply of shares. They could be short shares from time to time, but that is unlikely over the long term. There are a multitude of strategies that could be employed, especially if you have a few shares to work with. Our friends at Epic are the only ones who I know of who hold substantial shares, but those guys are totally cool pharma bros with Nasrat. No way would they try to screw us. Sitting on a dozen generics and the milestone payments that would have gone with them is only an unfortunate coincidence, I'm sure.
I believe this was their last filing as a group. By this time in Dec 2015, Epic Investments was dissolved, and all ELTP shares and warrants from the Strategic Alliance had been distributed out to Epic's individual members (including Nasrat). By this time, Ashok Nigalaye was the only one still above 5% ELTP ownership, and Jeenarine Narine was the only one still on the Elite board. As the outstanding share count went up, Ashok fell under the 5% reporting threshold, and we haven't heard from him or his 40 miliion shares since this Dec 2015 Sched 13D. Same with Ram Potti and his 11 million. Gone like the wind. We got a few more filings from Jeenarine until he resigned from the board a few months later in April 2016, including Jan 2016 when he converted 6 million warrants at .0625 and gifted all 6M shares to someone. When he resigned, they said it was because Humanwell acquired Epic, but I never understood why that would require him to resign from Elite. (Unless he has ongoing involvement in Humanwell, and then it makes perfect sense.)
An interesting confluence of events in ELTP history. SequestOx NDA was filed by Nasrat in January and accepted by FDA with Priority Review in March (PR 3/17/16). I'm not sure which but one of those two events triggered the next $2.5 million milestone payment from Epic to Elite, for total $7.5 million. Humanwell acquisition of Epic was announced two weeks later on 3/31/16. Jeenarine resignation from the Elite's board was announced two weeks later on 4/12/16. Exactly one week later on 4/19/16, a prescient claim was made on this board for the first time. On that day, stock price was .33, SequestOx PDUFA date was still three months away, and nobody ever heard of a tmax delay. Again, just one of those funny coincidences, I guess.
