(OTC:CBAI) See-Saws Up Again"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> If you want to get on the see-saw, wait till the seat is low. But for Cord Blood America, Inc. (OTC:CBAI) you may have missed the moment. The choppy movements of this double-zero stock take it up 100%, only to be followed periodically by deep corrections that wipe out the gains. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/CBAI0404.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"CBAI0404.png\" title=\"CBAI0404.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The engine for the latest leg-up of CBAI is the recent announcement of financial results. Here are the resources so far that should help CBAI: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/TRTC0404.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"TRTC0404.png\" title=\"TRTC0404.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$393,892 cash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$5.8 million total liabilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$5.99 million revenues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>$3.4 million net loss, almost 50% below net loss for 2011<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It seems the optimistic trend of narrowing losses gave some confidence, despite the fact that CBAI is still burdened by debt. The company has a long time horizon for predictable revenues, as it collects regular payments for harvesting and preserving stem cells. Also, the company doubled its cash reserves and achieved a positive cash flow from operations, giving hope for long-term potential. The company announced a 35% increase in revenues from Argentina, which means enough long-term deals to provide annuity-like payments in the future. Stem cells are usually preserved for decades, for a small but regular fee.<\/p>\n<p>On the downside, CBAI is extremely underpriced and prone to fluctuations. Also, its industry is niche and the business model may not be visible enough to invite a larger circle of investors, beyond the regular penny stock crowd. The promotion in the past weeks, ending March 21st, only added to the volatile and disproportionate movement of the stock.<\/p>\n<p>Since it abandoned CBAI, the pumper Stock Hideout is catching up by participating in the promotions of several extremely noisy tickers. Among them is Creative Edge Nutrition, Inc. (OTC:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=FITX\">FITX<\/a>), as well as Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC). As it is easily seen, CBAI is rising again only because of press releases and bargain buying, and the end of a promotion is usually when a ticker sheds a large part of its value.<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to take up an underpriced ticker, especially a double-zero selection, keep in mind the risk of volatility and research the company before believing the hype of a pumper. In case of disparities between a company&#8217;s business potential and its stock movement, it is best to keep in mind the right time horizon and acceptable losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to get on the see-saw, wait till the seat is low.
