Before I give you a blow by blow of some very interesting developments, none of us "know" for fact that J&J is the potential suitor of SterOx, it could be 3M, Baxter, Olympus, Steris, or a number of medical related companies, remember Cyclopss has said in print that they are in discussions with more than one party. It would be a perfect product for J&J, but until it happens we won't know. What I do know is that I went on the bid for 10,000 shares at 3/4 to see if I would get hit by a seller. This was after 7,700 shares traded at 3/4. I didn't see a share, up'd my bid to .81, then .84, then .90. Everytime I lifted my bid, someone else "jumped" my bid until I bought stock at 31/32's. The firm who inititated the selling yesterday was on the bid for the better part of the day today. Could it be, as I suspect, that yesterday's seller was a short seller ! Another thing you must know is that a bona fide market maker in any NASDAQ stock can and do short stocks on "downticks." I do suspect that Marlin's E-Mail was part of this short strategy. It only worked for a brief time and then yours truly and others came to buy some very cheap stock. Marlin, think about it, would a 500,000 share seller advertise the fact he is about to unload stock, I don't think so unless the guy is an ego maniac, and a very stupid one at that.
Now there has only been a few of us who know and support OZON, but gentlemen that is about to change, you will see shortly. I also believe there is a short of significant numbers still out there, and I think he is getting nervous. Have you ever been in a stock that has a "short squeeze," it could happen here even though we don't need it for this stock to appreciate.
My only regret today is that I wasn't more aggressive on the buy side instead of just being on the bid. I hope the company brings us all up-to-date on their R&D on several fronts - Ozone gas sterilizer and the DEDPM monomer. I also noticed that J&J's Cordis division signed a deal with Nitromed for a stent ( used in post angioplasty surgery ) coated with nitrous oxide. Cyclopss is one of the biggest producers of medical nitrous oxide. Go to the web site www.cyclopss.com and take a look at some of the things Cyclopss scientist have developed, it will reinforce your decision to own OZON. GBuckley |
