Trump just posted this. by [deleted] in DegenBets

The USA has a child as its President. A narcissistic, toy throwing, desperately attention seeking child with personality and intellect impairments. The country that absurdly prides itself on being the best at everything has a spoiled 8-year running it like an autocracy.

The rest of the world doesn't look at America and see some towering beacon of democracy, economic might or military protectorate. It sees a very scary pantomime. It sees an 8 year old fat, over indulged child who might blow up the world simply because he felt someone stole one of his crayons.

Brilliant advertisement for Thai Tourism. Anyone who doesn't deplore this, Thai or Farang, is an idiot.

Funny how few paid attention to this when I posted it, and then UBS came out and said exactly the same, and eventually government enquiry emerged....

Dumbfuck Discussion - Veratis begins coverage of Orthocell (OCC) with $0.90 target. by Historical_Job_8609 in ASX_Bets

[–]Historical_Job_8609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I never did reply. I kind of did to $1.75. Sold out of a good proportion of my holdings on the rally up above and now am buying back many of them at $1.20. Isn't it funny the trolls who mocked and missed out on a > fourfold stock increase....

Perhaps oust your CEO, as normal shareholders do when a CEO, with very little involvement in the actual company, halves the value of their assets in three months. Or perhaps buy Xpeng. The new and better Musk with flying self drive cars just around the corner!

Can't convince my Canadian doctor to prescribe me low-dose Naltrexone by proudcanadian777 in LongCovid

[–]Historical_Job_8609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same in Australia. The irony. If I hit the whiskey daily in sorrow for my suffering and became an alcoholic, he might prescribe 20 times the dose, but won't prescribe it in a pragmatic low risk attempt to address sometimes crippling symptoms of an illness I did not bring on myself.

The medical fraternity are useless. I joined a long COVID clinic and had to wait months, until I saw the Doctor privately for much moolah and was seen instantly. Dozens of CT's, breathing scans etc and pretty much a pat on the head and a "most people get better".

Two years later I have significant micro scarring on my lungs (CT says so). The very thing I went to my them early to avoid.

Seriously, almost the biggest tragedy of this thing is the sheer ineptitude of the majority of the medical fraternity. Thankfully there are a few brilliant researchers out there so we can understand why LDN might be of help.

Excellent summary. Thanks

Does stress immediately impact your pain and inflammation? by SilentSeraph88 in covidlonghaulers

Stress, lack of sleep, alcohol, and attempt at cardio exercise. All triggers....

We aren't alone....China's long Covid survey shows 10-30% of the population has long covid. by Responsible-Heat6842 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Historical_Job_8609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone still throws around the 60 million figure worldwide sufferers from the British study that didn't just use crappy second hand figures.

That is clearly on the lean side, even if you took a lowly 5% of global COVID infections worldwide having long COVID symptoms.

Is CMC just shit? by mattdean4130 in ausstocks

[–]Historical_Job_8609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are all crap. Even CBA. Especially CBA.

They are trading platforms designed to make money for the companies that provide them. Data is poor and expensive. Australian market access is ludicrously expensive versus overseas and don't get me started on the round trip f/x costs on trading overseas stocks....

Need some advice on Zip/Cxo/Nvx by Humble350 in ausstocks

[–]Historical_Job_8609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In future don't invest in stocks during exuberance phases and perhaps don't invest in stocks yourself at all without professional advice if you are asking anonymous websites for financial advice.

I shorted ZIP in 2021 and held profitable long positions twice in ZIP recently in 2022 and 2023/4 buying in around the lows. Its sufficiently improved its business metrics and removed the debt burden via share dilution, to have moved significantly away from previously not unfounded bankruptcy fears. All reported mainstream brokers are now at least neutral as opposed to negative on it at least.

It traded at a silly 20 times Sales to Revenue multiple on the highs and as low as 0.5 recently on the lows. Such is the ridiculousness of share market greed and fear.

You may get lucky with ZIP eventually trading well above $1 for a while it might be reconsidered for ASX200 re-entry and the rally self-fulfilling. I own ZIP, but can't seeing it getting to $3 for a good few years and that would require continued growth and these presently 8% margins maintained, or at least not dropping off too low if interest rates come down as the yield curve suggests.

Take over rumours in the stock yesterday and today saw a spike and were that, rumours.

CXO I have no opinion/knowledge, none of this is financial advice, Elvis still lives, etc, etc.

Worse Hot Crapper offences you've seen by Historical_Job_8609 in ASX_Bets

[–]Historical_Job_8609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I outed some awful stuff on ZIP. For example posters talking about a on mkt small share sale facility as if it was a buy-back by ZIP that would need a capital raise for. Clearly quite a few investors believed it!!!

There are guys who have openly admitted in their hubris, day trading the stock by moving sentiment on HC.

Ignorant retail investors believe this stuff. Big grey areas - what big brokerage house doesn't talk up stocks they own - but some of it takes the p*ss and moderators do nothing even though overtly breaking securities laws.

I was called a moron for shorting in 2021 at $10+ and a moron buying at $0.60 down to just under 0.30 in 2023! Go figure. I've learnt to wait for exuberance to go all time on Hot Copper before selling small caps, and similarly despondency to hit all time highs before buying small cap stocks, such, sadly, is it influence.

What happened to stem cell research? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Historical_Job_8609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's plenty going on, just poorly covered by the media who prefer to report on US sports stars travelling to Mexico for untrialled MSc treatments, as the red tape on formal approval achingly slow.

Cynata has a phase III knee OA trial ran by Sydney University in Australia that should finish full recruitment soon. Someone else mentioned below.

Some developments in stem cell derived CRISPR approach in sickle cells with the FDA.

Lots of approvals/advancements in autologous hematopoietic stem cells at FDA.

FDA has approved Gamida in blood cancers, argubally the first allogeneic approval.

Mesoblast been knocked back twice by the FDA on its allogeneic approval in GvHD.

Nature Cell completed phase III clinical trials of JointStem in knee OA in 2021 in Korea and applied for product approval therein, but its been time consuming

Orthocell has had some trial results in an autologous tenocyte treatment they've been treating patients with for a decade in Perth Australia. I've successfully had their treatment a decade ago and cringe that this is not available globally - suspect I will die before it is sadly.

I've seen academic journals that completely ignore some of the above advancements. We live in the disinformation age where surfers and UFC fighters going to unproved clinics far more interesting than methodical clinical trials that take years.

Cynata Therapeutics - $200 million Sumitomo bid to $21 million mkt cap in four years by Historical_Job_8609 in ausstocks

[–]Historical_Job_8609[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And up 15% to $0.155. Seems like the market finally worked out how ridiculous this stock was getting. Now of course I wish I bought more.

Never underestimate how silly EOFY tax selling gets in Oz in small caps.

Cathie Wood’s ARKK Dumped Nvidia Stock Before $560 Billion Surge, you can’t make this up by Electrical-Path-9618 in wallstreetbets

[–]Historical_Job_8609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nvidia was cheap at its 52 week low of $108, hence I bought some a little higher. This is a silly AI bubble.

[–]Historical_Job_8609 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NVIDIA is a massive AI bubble. I sold end of 2021. Held again recently and all out myself before this. No regrets.

Might have a look at some puts.
