MANKIND is a little Co.in my hometown of Valencia CA. Al Mann is an American Icon.. The inventor of the pacemaker, Insulin Pump and soon. The BIONIC EYE.. Thanks for the clicky. My sister at 8 yrs old, got the flu, and needs insulin every day for the Rest of her life. She would Differ.

I don't Know if this is a LEGAL Video: But it is NOW PUBLIC INFORMATION. A Diabetic taking life saving insulin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqU8jYpkKuM

and in ten years when the Tax bill is ALL your retirement then What?.......... Back to the BIG merger, IT'S DEAD for NOW. Good News; Pfizer has an extra 118 Billion sitting around and needs Growth. Mankind needs a partner for their inhalable insulin. Anal-yst after Anal-yst is eating, umm.. Crow . Let's see, ther's David Williamson of Motley Fool. You can join Adam Fuerstine of "The Street", and Piper Jafray's Dr.Schummer. Come July the winner gets another chance to be "Fool" of the decade when stellar sales are reported in the first quarter of next year. Have they bothered to speak to any Afrezza users from the trial? How about diabetes patients and their thoughts on the ability to reduce or eliminate needle injections? How about emergency room Doctors looking for a faster acting insulin in life and death situations? Wow I guess anyone can be an analyst these days and not have to do due diligence.

when the work is commodity work, certainly. But when companies want high talent, they come to California. BTW, it was funny seeing Texas lobby Tesla for that battery factory after crapping on their efforts to sell cars to Texans. That was probably a gift to Nevada. How about something on a smaller scale. My dad,now pays more than half of his military retirement JUST on Real estate Tax in L.A. . Nevada has a deal for Vets.Come here with your Retirement checks and Pay NO real estate tax. He's seriously considering.. I see his point.. and the state knows he's not going to be a burden on the health care,public services and No kids for the State to educate. What a Win, Win.. Problem is, I'm the loser

YOU HIT THE NAIL. Companies are leaving California in droves to more Tax friendly Places like Nevada and Texas. Pfiser is just playing on on international scale. It's Definitely not about Love and loyalty. It's all about a Dollar. Capitalism always gets a blame, but what other way is there?

Another Great Week For Investors..

VALUE TRUMPS GROWTH, again this week, Sky high P/E stocks Get Slammed. Value holds it own,or up little. I've noticed most Consumer Staples,the slow growth katchup,soup and cracker type companies. Have High p/e's.. I don't own any, but this may be the next to be re-valued. The Colgate-palmolive(CL)and(PG),of the world, have had a Huge runs, most up 20+% this year. The P/E's for this group; 20+ range.With slow growth, Why not book some Profits. I expect them to drop 8-20%, to a P/E that's relative. Relative to the market,18.5 Then to their Historical averages. With good dividend payers,the decline wont' be that huge. We can always Buy it back, when the dividend is Higher. This will happen when the stock price goes Down. I Know this can be confusing, any Questions?

MY Themes for Future Financial Success and Wealth Building. # 2 The USA Has Found and is Developing More Oil Than any other Time in Our History. The small independent wild cats like Whiting(WLL) continental(CLR)and (EOG) are Kickin ASS.. Making our country OIL ect. SELF RELIANT

Peter Lynch, actually.. But Cramer will do the Job, getting people interested in augmenting their pay checks. There is REAL cash to be made. Paying for the kids education,funding a respectable retirement,vacations...and jumpn of course. Motivation to start early so financial independence isn't just a DREAM, and Gov't Dependence isn't the only way. Our public school teachers are Union employees and indifferent to our kids financial future. Some are down rite hostile about the markets.. I've got no more than a 30yr old, H.S. education,I'm a Wrench, and if I can do it ? If we don't tell others of our success, what will motivate them? I'm grateful, I have been taught to "Fish"(rather that being given one)and couldn't afford to Jump without it. If I can Save just one, from a Future of Cat Food,and Social Security is it... so be it. I think Your Hung Up,on valuation. Apple is not an expensive Stock. Please review My Previous posts on Valuation,P/E,and PEG. What are Your Winners and How did you come to own them? I don't want this post to turn into a Pissn contest. Just an Optimistic Source of Interest,hope and motivation to others.

Euphoria always ends Badly. Bears make money, Bulls make money, Pigs Get Slaughtered... Pessimism is healthy, in a balanced approach, but Dogma and hatred of the market. Will ONLY ensure you Never participate,Opportunity is Dead. Statements Like "GET THE HELL OUT NOW." insight Panic, and No one ever made a Dime in a panic. Usually there is a Better time to sell. Since you made this statement ... Apple has Gone from about $525 a Share, to $597. so far. $70+ a share,BOOM. Three rides to 12.5k. One week on one share. Do you have anymore "get the hell out" stocks ? I need an AAD soon, maybe you can Help? I'm Not Slammin you,I'm only tryin to make my point.

My point being, when Go Pro is a public co we can compare apples to apples. We can put a Value on the earnings. if a Value presents itself with a lower P/E and a Lower PEG,relative to the market, cool. May be a Buy. If its trading @ FB,Tesla values with a P/E in the 50's or higher. A PEG ratio over 2.0 WE ALL KNOW ITS EXPENSIVE, Greater the RISK. On to Good news! RITE AID (RAD), a debt laden,Left For Dead Co. The runt in a"three horse race". Last year trading @ a buck or two,and priced for self destruction. They closed losing stores, remodeled existing.Refinanced the Debt.Instituting a awesome turn around.That I believe in. US GDP for april was up what .08%? RAD same store sales up 4.8%. This is another,Great American Turn Around Story. I first got behind it in late 2012 @ $1.37 I have sold some and purchased some all the way to $7.00. The Motley Fool has some good Articles on Valuation. I think this ones Going to $12.00 this yr. This may also be a buy out story, by CVS or WAG, though thats pure speculation... How about (JCP) JC Penny another left for Dead casualty ? Or another turn around story..

I am an Investor nothing more to it. Some investments carry more risk than others, and I'm in for it. Sensitive? I've had many say "I'm Gambling' But that's another subject. If you have something to contribute, or perhaps a Positive message I'm all ears, but your Pessimism sucks. What's your message? It's all a ponzi scam ? don't even try,I'm a Fool, its a waste of time and Money? Wasted Dreams. This is the type of thinking that get us to: Dependency is Bliss

First off I have never Participated in an IPO.. It wasn't a Statement that "I'M ALL IN". You Know,just as well as I, not One of us will be IN on the IPO Deal. As an Investor"Gambler" Nothing is Guaranteed... Nothing in Life is. but with some risk management we can have fun,and CRUSH THE AVERAGES.. Risk is the Fun part it keeps us engaged,and interested. You Know like Jumpin out of Planes. So perhaps we can learn something from a FaceBook moment. if another happens, we could discuss it and perhaps even Profit from a similar situation... When Go Pro does go public, at least we can put a Value on it, and compare them Apples. I am not a Day Trader. My long term investments are Multi Year plays. My Trades are less than a year. My trades have One Goal. To Augment my Pay check. For Family Vactations,retirement accounts ect... so I can enjoy skydiving and not be a major financial burden to the family. Last year it was Hawaii,complement of Lions Gate Film. and I'm back in it this Year. I've met some people at the DZ recently, that are "SET" and can jump where ever,When ever, and as much as they what.. Finanical Freedom...

I am not a Gambling Man,but I am an Investor. Sorry for the confusion, What I meant is? Growth and Earning are the only way we can Identify a Value. Earnings. Most IPO's have no earning.. some cash flow but after the Bills, Don't Make a Dime. Yet Go Pro does. If Go Pro has a profitable history than we can Compare. Apples to Apples. At what price are you willing to pay for those Earnings. 15x, 75x or 250 times those earnings. If they make a buck a year then; $15.00 is a Great value to the average. $75.00 expensive, and $250 is CRAZY Growth is the Speculation part.. Future earnings and how fast those earnings will Grow is the Crystal Ball part. Tesla, Amazon,and Such have those outrageous Price to earnings ratios. WHY? Wall Street Growth addicts,speculators, gamblers will pay any price for a piece of that crack.

I didn't invest in Facebook, It did not have earnings, the "E" in the P/E. It was based on price to sales,price per user.. earnings in the Out years,Like the .com Bomb. Based on every matrix BUT P/E and PEG ratios. Earnings per Share is our yard stick. Hind sight been 20/20, the aha moment in Face book was the expiration of the "insiders sale lockup". It had been going down for months and when the date Hit, and the Insiders Could sell,they didn't. FB IPO pop to $40, no earnings meant down to $20 or less we went. Now they monitized they're advertisement revenue.Now, they have Earning and up to $70 we Go. Face Books P/E is 75, the aveage for all is 18. or 400% more expensive than the average stock in the market. I'd sell a $1 apple for $4.00.

So aside from outstanding product placements and X athlete usage, what guarantees they stay on top? I'm Looking at it as an IPO Trade, not a Long tern investment. The Genes,are Good.They have been Profitable (as a private Co.) A solid place in the market, #1 or close in catagory,with new models spurring some future growth. and if and ONLY IF, The IPO is priced right,why not make a few quick bucks?

Great to have a List like this. But it seems like an unemployment report telling us Only what we want to Know. How they got thier riches befor office, is One thing. How they got Richer, once in Office is another. The #1 Top guys wealth comes from his,, Old Lady...?

***More Braking News*** GO PRO going public.. Go Pro has been a Profitable Private Co. for Yrs. Announced possible, Initial Public Offering. We'll get to see, the pricing on this IPO, numbers and all, real soon.. I don't Think Growth will be a Problem. Great niche market,Loyal Customer base,and ALL that "FREE ADVertisement" If the price to earnings, or P/E is 15. and the Growth rate is 15%, I'M IN ..... If the P/E is 20, and Growth 20% I'm IN... This is a PEG ratio of 1, Price/Earnings/Growth rate. Very Cheap and Doubt I'T will price this LOW.. Most Institutions / Big money are "Crack Heads" for Growth and will Pay up to 3 times for that growth. This is a PEG ratio of 3. Very expensive, priced for Perfection..and if they miss ? Down you go to a PEG that is relative. But whatever it does, We will know, when its Crack Head Expensive,or just Tuna fish on sale.

The Dream Boat Will fit in the palm of her hand. Just a"Huff" or two, Faster acting, Longer Tail off All equals better/ Stable, blood sugar levels.. *** Side affect my be Healthy weight loss*** Phase 3 Trial results were Quit Impressive

Funny No mention of "GREEN " Projects and Chinese solar Co.? or His son ?

Ya, I wish is Knew the clicky thing. The DEVICE was "Quit Interesting" a mix Between a Bong and a Dildo. Ya That's a Sight,in Public. Think I would rather stick myself. The two top dogs dumped 500 mill. each,trying and Protect Their Market.After a Billion in wasted research they Conceded to the MANN.

Apple hasn't Been a Growth Stock since the $700 peak. It 's a Value stock Now.One of the Cheapest in the Market. Price to earnings,or P/E is 10, Back out the Cash and it's trading for just 8 times earning. Less than Half the Price, of the other Growth Co. in the S&P 500. As new Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri said on a call with analysts and investors: "The addition of China Mobile coupled with great response to our more affordably priced iPhone 4S led to an all-time quarterly record for iPhone sales in greater China."

Thanks, its a Roulette Wheel even with the 14-1 advisory Panel approval. the FDA could say NO,could say Yes. BLACK or RED. its a local story, the "santa clarita Business jounal" has a couple of write -ups. Alfred Mann is Brilliant..pacemaker,isulin pump,heartvalve,ect..a true American Icon 17 companies total, $14 million to C.O.C. the Local Community College.. what's the legal term.. Due Diligence? YA... Spec Plays = no More than 10% of total Portfolio. Your Caution, dully Noted.

Congrads to Apple Shareholders. The ones that Held on. A Year and a Half of PAIN Finally Appl is creating Value For US. First earnings They kicked ass. as they Sold 64 million devices this past Qtr. Increased the share Buy back By an Additional $60 Billion. and Increased our Dividend by 8% and DRUM ROLL PLEASEE.... a 7 for 1 Stock Split !!! I guess/hope the Most Hated Stock shall become a Lover again . I'm also speculating that they may be engineering a MOVE to the DOW Listing, the top/ largest 30 Co. in the USA. THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

The wife and I have made quit the Effort about 9 hours total. 3hrs each time, 3 times to comply w/ the ACA. I'm self employed, had an individual market plan and lost it Jan.1, 14 For three months,We tried. We have to have health ins. Three times there was Always a Problem.Dead line after dead line.
