HOWDY Valentin, Let's talk about the important things first.

gg means giggle, giggle (or Ha Ha ).

IMHO means In MY Honest Opinion

:o) means :o) / it is a face smiling at you sideways!!! gg

O.K. now cybx, somewhere on this thread I quoted the article that was in Investors Daily which is a financial newspaper here in the U.S.

The company stated their ramp rate per month. I can't find the damn post but I know it is on here somewhere. I think they said their goal is 400 a month by the end of 1998. I'll keep looking for it.

I only have 400 shares that I bought at 23 so it's no big deal yet. I am into LIFC much more, almost 5000 shares with a nice profit so far. If it keeps moving I may sell cybx and buy more lifc and then switch back when lifc stops moving, I can avoid most taxes because it is in a retirement account.

What concerns me more is the overall market. I feel we are due for a big correction soon and would like to avoid the carnage if possible.

Do you know of any websites that follow Bio-techs?? Any magazines??

Thanks and Good Luck tomorrow

Hi Valentin, I found the articles !!!

Aug 4th 1997,Business Week Magazine:

cybx wants to sell 3000 devices in 1998 and as many as 7000 in 1999.

According to article in Investors Business Daily dated Jan 30, 1998:

They will produce 200 per month by March, 300 per month by June. By next January they will be able to produce 700 per month

Using a conservative figure of 20% of eligible patients that gives you 200,000 which equals $1.8 billion market.

Each year 70,000 new patients are diagnosed.

Archie Smith, analyst with Piper Jaffray, says he expects sales of $16 million in fiscal 98 and $47 million in fiscal 99.

DOES THIS HELP ???

DO THESE NUMBERS FIT YOUR ESTIMATES??

BYE, BYE FOR NOW (BBFN)

Valentin good work. CYBX price in a conservative market would be around 15-17. Those buying in a bull market can expect to pay 25%-200% more for a chosen stock (depending on the sector). Buying on speculation at the present time could make or break small investors so caution is the word. CYBX Management's commitment to increase production to meet demand is very promising. These are very capable people. I'm guessing CYBX could hit 20.5 in a down trending market creating a great buying opp.for longs.

Also notice short interest for Mar. is up (422,255 shares) from Feb. (190,836 shares). Should news hit the wires CYBX could create a 4-6 point bounce as shorts run for cover. I'll be on that wave.

HOWDY Valentin, it is me. gggg

Any developments with cybx, it seems to be hanging in there although today was a disappointment.

Lifc is stuck at 8 like it was stuck at 5 for awhile.

Howdy Valentin, where you been. gg

You were right, you posted to me earlier that cybx would not go under 21. I almost sold and then it turned around and headed north.

Did you hear about MDT device for Parkinson's Disease?? Sounds like it could be close to our cybx device BUT this goes directly into the brain. Ouch !

Any new information to convey??

Good Luck, how is the weather across the big pond??
