Is holding .30 bullish?

Considering most of my holdings are getting ruined, I guess + .30 is a win?? Is there a chance of decent news this year?  No really, I have no clue.
Comment by mercedesman on May 12, 2022 10:15am
Anything that only goes down 10 - 15 % is a win in this market. Awaiting news on DIMI 30 person Trial (start date? , partnership?, etc.) Awaitng news on a pick up (of pace) on Tigris, post Covid as ICU's begin to clear. Both late stage, with approval of one a "when, not if" event. per CEO.  The other is "exceeding expectations" but Paradigm still only using 75% odds ...more

You heard about the pandemic that killed 1 million US citizens and overwhelmed ICUs right? Anyway, the good news is that from all my reading, PMX, going forward,  should be able to help to reduce the number of deaths from Covid hospitalizations ( eg hospital acquired bacterial infections and endotoxin translocation in the gut - a proven phenomenon of severe Covid patients )  The ...more

What a bs prism you see this stock through. Your good news would be a comedy if it wasn't a utter tragedy. What happened to the big quarterly update the CEO promised this week? An end of day, Friday news drop? That's usually when companies share the really good news.
Comment by mercedesman on May 13, 2022 9:51am
Well your little insightful post didn't age well at all. I see no good news for the short term...particularly...but the big picture is coming better into focus with each distributed (in a miserly way) puzzle piece.  If there was more of a flourish, and a public story-telling effort, i'm sure we'd be trading 2 to 4 X the current SP. But in any event, the endgame, and the ...more  
Comment by hmmmmmmmm on May 13, 2022 10:16am
Didn't age well? I thought you'd be taking another hiatus- after your prediction of 40+ enrolled and assorted rosey nonsense was again crushed. They enrolled 4 patients in 3 months!  No joke.  At this rate they'd finish the trial in 9 1/2 years. Something has to change. Time for the board to take a long look at the failed belief that a CFO can somehow lead and move this ...more  
Comment by hmmmmmmmm on May 13, 2022 10:31am
The reality is, I have no fight with you MM. You're another investor like me who believed in the science, put up their money in and is now stuck.  My issue is with this management.  They basically halved the SP last year to raise a measly 10 million. What do they have to show for it? Maybe 6 patients enrolled since then.. Unable to even start the DIMI trial.  Which has ...more

If you really want to feel disappointment with Spectral management, try reading the Fresenius April 21, 2022 PR.
Comment by daviking on May 13, 2022 6:47pm
Weill, you knew that FMS wasn't going to sit on its hands (like Spectral seems to be). Approval! Let's hope it is like David vs Goliath! Noticed nobody seemed to take any interest, especially people with all the answers here... https://www.fresenius.com/10322
Comment by PezDalatoYou on May 13, 2022 7:41pm
I just assumed that folks on here are either too lazy to look it up, too scared shiitless to say anything, or to dumb to realize what it means to DIMI.
Comment by mercedesman on May 14, 2022 9:14am
I was going to react to that news but didn't want to be accused of being a Spectral pumper.  Why is F's move into the HD ( specifically PD) good news?: 1. it confirms that HD may be the future of DIALYSIS, or at least a major component.  2. It puts the heat on DV, F's biggest, and some say only major competitor,  to find their own machine, in order to compete. It ...more  
Comment by PezDalatoYou on May 14, 2022 5:06pm
MM, some ramblings below based on your post: I completely agree with your #1. Home Dialysis IS the future of dialysis treatment. Without a doubt. The problem is that DIMI is the new kid on the block. While you are correct that DIMI already has approvals, it currently is not approved for home use in the US and that is where DIMI's market is. It is unclear in the F PR that their VersiPD ...more  
Comment by RickyBobbyTO on May 14, 2022 7:08pm
are we having a serious discussion here about Dialco being viable or is this a parody? Dialco died when Guadagni left. At that time they should have closed its doors because they haven't sold any significant amounts of anything from there. It just increases the burn rate with loitering staff and I can't see how they're going to finance a second trial when they can barely raise money to ...more  
Comment by RickyBobbyTO on May 14, 2022 7:10pm
They need to double executive salaries so they use some of their brain power. 700k a year per person not cutting it any more, inflation and all. 
Comment by mercedesman on May 14, 2022 10:36pm
Some compelling points Pez  However I maintain that DV, would much prefer not to use their #1 competitor's machines, either in clinic or for HD, at least not for the medium to long term   For now they simply may have no choice ( with the assumption that the Tablo is a dud as some have  reported) if they want to be able to garner some share of the new Home market   ...more

Are you selling this stuff that you're smoking or is it just for personal use? Asking for a friend. 
Comment by PezDalatoYou on May 15, 2022 10:13am
Interesting to see if F and D compete directly in all geographical markets or if each are dominant in their own respective areas. Similar to Millar beer in the north, Bud in the south, and Coors in the west. If each has their own dominant area, then each can grow their own home dialysis businesses within their area without worrying too much about the other.
Comment by hmmmmmmmm on May 15, 2022 10:48pm
DIMI has - "almost a two year head start"  What a joke- or a paid shill. What have they done with that 2 year head start? They are still just thinking about starting a straightforward 12 week trial! They just stated that they see that taking 2 more years! (starting in Q3 and somehow taking 18mos to complete the 12 week trial) Just think how different this company would be if ...more

"Management has failed this company and these products viablity. Disgusting." - Hmmmmm I sincerely hope that you have jumped ship and sold your entire position, based on your beliefs.   It would appear, according to you, that the Braun Exec. with decades of experience in medical devices, and dialysis and who has successfully launched a start-up Division in the US market, has ...more  
Comment by hmmmmmmmm on May 16, 2022 12:55pm
You post on this sites multiple times a day. So for you to post that DIMI has "a two year head start"  as a positive- is not just naive, it's not just disingenuous, it's an obvious shiil. No share holder would be happy to watch Management sit on their hands for 2 years. No share holder would be happy that- if management can  even keep to their current timeline- it ...more

Where did I say that I was happy?.  Is it becasue don't share the same degree of doom and gloom as you do? I sincerely hope that you have jumped ship and sold your entire position, based on your beliefs.  I know I would if I had zero faith in the Mgt team. It would appear, according to you, that the Braun Exec. with decades of experience in medical devices, and dialysis and who has ...more

Where did you say you were happy? Your post litteraly starts with how you think the news od Freesinius' pump approval is so positive that were afraid of being called a "Spectral Pumper" I wwould love to sell my position- but I like 99% of Spectral Investors are stuck. No volume, and SP near all time lows. Will they go lower with our next raise? probably.. but if I did sell out my ...more

Where did you say you were happy? Your post litteraly starts with how you think the news od Freesinius' pump approval is so positive that were afraid of being called a "Spectral Pumper"   That was in response to you and others who implied, that if the biggest dialysis clinic player is getting into Home Dialysis, that somehow it's game over for Spectral/Dialco.

Come on pal. You and your alter ego, farmer friend are the least credible voices here. Overburden, pump and dump, shill..  completly disconnected from what's going on.
Comment by mercedesman on May 16, 2022 8:59pm
Very weak Hmmmm  I dont know why I expected more from you ( as the persona assigned to this particular handle at least )? Sadly even the carefully crafted hmmm ID, once  the argument is lost,  you bring out the old tropes and complaints with no evidence or solid reasoning. And then finally you resort to saying STT and I are alter egos, or one and the same poster. He's  ...more
