      Wrong again. If you read the company's press releases you'd see the private equity was placed "at market value."

      Self serving = trying to look like an analyst. But without the thoroughness of a real analyst you can do much more harm than good. Please be more careful with your forum.

      I'm what you insultingly call a "penny stock investor." I've seen numerous emails about this stock and I and others I know have done due diligence on the companies and Harmel Rayat. His companies are tech and biotech incubators and the business model is to fund university and government research in return for all or partial commercial rights. To my understanding, they provide whatever funds are required, and do not need to pay the overhead costs that private companies would have to absorb. To my mind it's a pretty smart model. These aren't research companies, they're marketing companies designed to increase shareholder value by either taking a technology to market or finding a deep-pocket partner that can. As to "pump and dump," if you would look carefully at who's buying and selling, you'll see that OCTL directors, brothers, whatever aren't selling at the highs, so how exactly would they be profiting from a pump and dump? What I can't abide by are the shorters who prey on small investors in stocks like these. I'm holding on for the long term, and so just have to bear it, but it still makes it hard for a small company like this to raise capital. And your self-serving "investigation&qu... doesn't help either. I don't know anything personally about Mr. Rayat, but I know that any stock promoter found guilty of investor fraud by the SEC is prohibited from ever promoting again. You obviously did not investigate with an objective mind, and wrote your analysis without understanding this kind of business model, or knowing that a private equity group recently committed something like $10-12 million -- you can bet they did their due diligence and must have found something to like. Seeking Alpha is a powerful forum. I follow and appreciate guidance from thorough and objective analysts. So please do your research before writing something that could wrongly reduce investors' (ie my) stock values.
