Ocata Therapeutics Puns

If all longs here believe that MULTISTEM is that good than they should not be surprised that big pharmaceutical Japanese, EU or American will buy out before the therapeutics hit the market. ATHX is exactly at that inflection point where Big Pharmaceutical comes in pre manufacturing stage and takes over.

Not much to say, I've been long this stock for a few years and averaged down to around $5 over the past year. Today a buyout for $8.50 a share was announced. Normally you would think people would happy with this, considering the stock has traded around $4-$6 for so long, but the vast majority of long term shareholders bought in for $15+. This is a dreadful day for a ton of people.

Still, at least 20% of the shares are going to vote yes (institutions) and 25% more traded today. I would say the people selling are retail investors and the people buying are more institutions/other phrama companies. I see this playing out one of two ways:

1. Shareholders fail to vote against the buyout because there are too many institutions that will vote yes
2. A second bid comes in

Either way, the answer right now is to buy. Either you break even or you get what the next guy bids. I don't see how it could really be voted down.

I've struggled for a few days in question of whether to post this or not at this time?...It might be a little premature or, not?...Time will tell...And, good data results from Japan (as we expect & led to believe) could make a buyout price more forthcoming?...(A person can dream, right?)...And, especially if our ATHX share price fails to sprint as well as we would like her to...Ride Like The Wind, ATHX!... - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fctUWsFEyo

You know...It seems the constant knock on ATHX - It just can't hold a gain...When she gets out in front she falls back down...Bad Karma?...Aspire?...Capital Raise?...Dilution...Or, Something Else?...We all want it to be different...Better...I hope that day comes...

Can you imagine you wake one morning...(As happened to OCAT/ACTC shareholders) and you read this headline (Nov. 10, 2015): "Astellas to Acquire Ocata Therapeutics for $379M" - https://www.genengnews.com/topics/drug-discovery/astellas-to-acquire-ocata-therapeutics-for-379m/

Then later on you read this (Feb. 10, 2016): "Astellas finally wraps up its $379M deal for Ocata" - https://www.fiercebiotech.com/financials/astellas-finally-wraps-up-its-379m-deal-for-ocata (Buyout at $8.50)

Most OCAT shareholders (just about all of them - including me - I needed the money) sold their shares...Not a surprise, some did better than others...And, just a very few contested the offer price of $8.50...They wanted more...They felt the $379M offer (at $8.50) was undervalued (at a 79% premium to the previous closing day price of $4.75 - Nov. 6, 2015)

(You know...Just like here with ATHX...Some OCAT shareholders had dreams/predictions of a day when the share price would reach $100 or more)...

What if we woke one morning with our ATHX shares to read a headline like this: "Athersys Offered 300% Premium For Buyout...Over One Billion Dollars!"

(The Math: Roughly 222 Million Shares X $5.00 = $1.110 Billion...)

Knowing how so many of you/us have become so frustrated with this investment at times, that a $5.00 offer will be just fine...Nothing gets done in a timely fashion...Let me get out of here, some might say to themselves!...Thank God!...

Or a headline like this: "**Athersys Offered Over 500% Premium For Buyout...

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
