Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide an idea and context:

Maintaining Sell:

Biostage (BSTG) closed down -$0.02 after Monday’s +$0.19, Friday’s +$0.20, Thursday’s +$0.32 to $2.50, and last Wednesday’s +$2.18.  Keep writing those checks to “PUMP” the share price.

Remember, there are millions of private placement millions unregistered shares (priced at $3.20, $3.60 and $3.70) existing FAR beyond the outstanding shares with more coming …

Warrants can be called <even when they’re not attached to registered stock> as part of a unit deal and what target <execution> date will be met or … even changed to derive capital from these overhangs?

Mrs. bin Zhao, the major stock holder and head of DST Capital, BSTG’s funder: if you had stuck to the original turn-around plan, BSTG would NOT be in this position! YOU will also be held RESPONSIBLE IF and WHEN the Feds step-in.

The BOTTOM LINE: I’m on vacation but, still watching!

One can take a good or bad feeling, re-frame it, and suddenly that feeling is the solution. Not me, I don’t run from any feeling but, take that sensation itself as a sharpened stick to “poke’ mainstream thinking.
