msft,
Garbage. Accordi ng to BTX itself, it's i/p is worth less than $20million--it said so in the 10Q.
According to BTX itself, all of it's i/p, equipment and cash adds up to less than 20 cents a share.
That's the truth. Right there in the SEC filings. AS of this date.
What isn't there is how much BTX has thus far paid Cornell, and what it has got in return.
According to publicly available data, thus far ..nothing. Nothing that concerts to even $1k worth of sales.
Keep being an impotent game boy poser betting on deflection. That's the BTX business plan in its essence.

jmil, The only "news" is that this is the dilution I said would happen before September 2013. And I said it here months ago.
Unless BTX seriously cuts back on r&d, i/p growth etc., this "news" means that by next June it will be back in the capital mkts for anoter round of dilution--which explains why it increase the auth to 125mm.

And some of them are being paid by BTX to do work--which thus far has yielded nothing.
How much has been spent?

msft,
Yup. And BIOM has a blood tst for cancer on the mkt. And all that gets shareholders?

Because De Gaulle sucked. Is this BRK related? Yes. Because part of his suckage was gaming the US Treasury in gold and silver, just as European banks had done in the 20s, leading to FDR telling Europe to go bang itself and moving gold to $32 from $20. Thereby helping bring about the day when WB could explain to sane people that gold itself largely sux.

There are already 2 blood tests for breast cancer--the major one owned by BIOM.

captj,
Way to go on obscure. I gave it 2 minutes on key stats from which i ask:
1. What's the d/e ratio?
2. What;s the interest rate on the massive debt?
3. What are the odds on rolling the debt to lower rates?
4. What;s the pay off schedule?
5. What;s the customer dependence ratio?
The recent 10q should discuss all this.
If it doesn't, in detail..run.
If it does, how's that pencil out?

captj,
Go to my website and search for _shake.
You'll get how the high school varsity plays.
I'm not going into the college level stuff given that this board and many others dpn;t even know how to strike a put....
They just want to strike a pose.

jmil,
Unless thy are professionals in which case they just shirt more.
And untikl you dd BIOM and report back you sound like a middle schooler discussing the varsity...
at best/

captj,
In the case of BTX y and many others you can cover it in the second you place it--from another account.

coin,
You make se4nse right up to the point you buy the Xon and Chessy party line on petroleum. If you want selfsufficiency, go live in a cave and start digging your own iron ore---with your fingers.
But, as WB predicted a year ago, people were going to have sex, and sooner or later that would be babies, which sooner or later would be dry wall and furniture and car insurance and..and...and..
The markets are up?--because they are up. Cash inflow. Cannon fodder hunting yield on ever less sustainable trajectories.

Been there. Done that. Gave the T-shirt to a client. Boring.

Not to mention that as a result of this and Governor Good Hair, SXSW is talking about moving to VEgas.
Hsieh is what us old schoolers call a capitalist, as opposed to a scumsucker (like Wynn or Willard).
Never mind bum-rapping CA--Hiseh was already used to Henderson,

Just so long as it doesnt mess with the hot tubs at the far end of the "older" part, the rapid roulette table by the bar, the "vice pit" at the Strip side entrance, and the sainted Mr Siegel's memorial gardens with the reflecting pool with all the flamingos.
Spoint? Never been. Flamingo, Caesar's, Riviera, Golden Nugget (I've used the lounge by the "shark tank" as office space many a time. Great place to read a PPM) and Main St Station--which is sooooo more classy (that bein a relative term in Clark County....:-) ) than "Station Casinos" like that Disneyesque thing in Henderson.
If I make it back out before i head to that big FA in the sky, Palms is on my list to check out.
Better WB buy in than more of the Mormon Mafia--anything that cleanses Wynn from the system is a good deal

My clients 4 13/16 net basis in BYD has paid off well, especially now that the Malaysianbs are going after that scumsucker Wynn.
Time to go after Adleson.
Let BRK buy the Flamingo from Caesar's and get some Chicago guys to run it.

hc,
All excellent reasons for the doc to be disintermediated by an RNP, or a PA ( no idea how NV law works on that) @ $90k a year, and you get 5 minutes with her.

HC,
If you look for it, there's a done of objective data supporting that premise. Fo a search for "testosterone level" and "floor trader" as a starting point.
Do you read Angie Herbers?

hc,
the heck with that---how about what was 7th grade level just a few decades ago?
I' mot gloomy tho---impatient, and tired of the whining, yes.
Talked today to a kid I used for dd last year--got his bachelor in mechanical engineering, 3.8 with 3 summer internships doing computer simulations to check CAD products. His starting pay is going to be 4/5 of what it would have been 8 years ago and no signing bonus.
But he had the job locked in on graduation day.

coin,
".We'll have more street revolt riots than ever account the poverty here" Good time for a 2ns Amendment solution to Wall ST.

who,
Excellent job of explaining in detail the entire BTX biz plan.
