Q1 Guidance 2014

Some anger and resentment is normal. But, contant bashing becomes a way of life if one is not able to move forward. Not everyone @ Liposcience will be effected by this loss of HDL in a negative manner. In fact, some employees will get substantial rewards for picking up their efforts. If you are no longer w/Liposcience you all know bashing and venting is a short term effort to feel better. Other thwn that there really isnt anything good. Its time to move on for some folks here. Grow up.

I agree with you, and it is not my intent to bash the company. 'Some reps' who got hired recently are not even close to trending toward realizing the $ they were told in the interview process. I know, most of the honus falls on the person, but I can't fully agree with that in every situation. 115-120k as was discussed is not happening for me, and several others I've talked to. And it doesn't seem that it will happen at any point. Anyone on this board, who is currently in field, please prove me wrong.
 






we are glad a "CEO" can add some value to the discussion. Please tell us how someone looking to come aboard Lipo should look at all the new "opportunities", from the eyes of a CEO instead of someone who has worked here for 4 years

Agree. Anyone drinking the koolaide will lose. I have been and clearly have a mustache. I honestly do not trust this company. They just don't seem to understand the mkt, and I am no where close to making what I was promised.
 






Re: New Hires

FYI... You new hires... Remember this, the NMR test has been around 15 years and regardless of 375 studies, the NMR is not standard of care. In fact, the new guidelines do not endorse the NMR. Good Luck. They've heard it all before.

LabCorp is over it and so are physicians.

The NMR is not the only test necessary to predict heart disease. It's helpful, but is one out of many.
 


















I hate to have trials emotionally, but they do have an end and typically setbacks make for some interesting fresh starts. I have been in business since 1994 and share the pain w/many but it will pass. Somehow learn how to use this for a stepping stone to better places. Best of luck to all u folks.

Thanks, Ken....
 


















If we had any inclination that we were going to severe ties with HDl we would have adjusted our Q1 guidance before the investor call instead of a few days before the end o the quarter. This just adds to my belief that our management doesn't have a clue as to what is going on. We continue to be reactive instead of proactive. Even with all the mgmt changes its as if PS and RB are still here.
 
























Dear investors,

We've just lost our largest customer & would like to revise our projected earnings for Q1 & beyond! Our largest national lab partner dropped our only test last week & were not sure what to do.

Just to be clear in the past 3 months the following has happened:

- We laid off 30% of our sales force
- Our 5th largest customer (Solstas) was bought by a competitor
- Our largest customer (HDL) had dropped our test starting Monday

We are confident that all these events will negatively impact the business & expect our stock will be well under $3 very soon. If you know anyone looking to purchase an over valued company, please contact us, we're desperate!
