Kirk Has a great eye for acquisitions and a long term perspective on their pay off.
The advantage GNVC will enjoy in XON is access to XON's brilliant researchers and synthetic biology expertise. As well as the larger companies financial backing.
XON is a bit like a bio-mutual fund as you noted, with a real diversity of bets.
So many of my small bios are almost one trick ponies that rise or fall on the fate of their lead product.

[skitahoe]

I'm not currently a shareholder, but I do have some GNVC which should eventually become XON. When I look at what people are saying here, no one seems to care about the GNVC acquisition.

XON to me looks almost more like a mutual fund than a stock, as it's comprised of many very dissimilar companies. It's different from anything I've invested in before, but it's my intention to hold GNVC at least until the time it becomes XON, or they cancel the deal.

For the longest time you could multiply the XON price by .297 and arrive at nearly GNVC's price, normally just a few pennies higher. Recently it seems that even greater value is being given to GNVC, which seems to indicate that their is a growing belief that Novartis will pay at least the $5 million milestone for starting a Phase 2B Trial with the hearing drug in the 36 months after the acquisition by XON, this will equate to a little over $1 per GNVC shareholders at the time of the acquisition.

On occasions I've actually seen GNVC at less than .297 X XON. If I were interested in holding XON, I'd look to buy GNVC when it's priced that way. I believe the odds are at least even that you'll see that Novartis payment, and I believe that long term the hearing drug may prove one of XON's greatest assets.

Agreed. The CEO is a genius and he has hired a whole lot of extremely bright and creative folks. He even lets them play in the labs on a regular basis.
The place is bulging with potential...Looks like an excellent bet to me.

[DrStockonomics]

Lots of disruptive technology going on with XON. It takes time to convince/show the world and the power mongers that are profiting from the current practices that XON has a better way. Patience WILL pay off here in the long run. In the meantime XON will continue to be a very volatile stock. Long XON

[shub]

With the fat multitude of potentially profitable pies XON has their fingers in,
it's hard to understand why the PPS keeps sinking.
No big study failures that i know of.

[shub]

The real Yoyo is their recent spinoff AQB which is up 21% today.
Still, in most smaller bios, when good news jerks the string...up we go.
Then slowly sink again.
OTOH, this administration is hardly pro science and XON is all about cutting edge science...That could well handicap us badly.

[north40000]

Bill Miller didn't say that XON came attached to a yo-yo like what we have seen in the past year.

[shub]

I'm bunch of bios, mostly smaller, and it's a lot like riding a Yoyo..
Gotta confess i'm tempted and a number of times felt dumb for not taking profits at the peaks...But i find i'm not good at it.

[JTrader]

I've been in and out a few times but I promise you that a few traders aren't muffling XON performance. Though I do believe in your logic wholeheartedly. Something is bound to stick at some point. Good luck man!

[shub]

You guys are nuisance for us LTBH folks, but, good luck.
I think i'll pickup a few more shares at this depressed level to lower my total cost per share.
XON has so many irons in the fire that a few of them are sure to come through for us.

[JTrader]

Wow. I found my new swing trading vehicle.

[shub]

With the new, pro business administration in the White house; it seems we ought to do well in the near future....If the populist anti-science sentiment they espoused don't get in our way.
We have a serious chance to make it big.

[shub]

I've been in for some time now, but we understand that it's all potential and nothing is yet concrete.
But we sure have all our proverbial fingers stuck in juicy pies.
Salmon or beef and apples anyone?

[DrStockonomics]

I think XON is a great long term hold. They have their hands in several areas that could make them a $100 stock. Patience will pay here!

[shub]

Xon looks good to me as a long term bet...Trading it is just asking for it.
I think the Mosquito abatement effort is ill fated, as it is expensive and prone to be replaced by other technologies..Also studies have shown that after a zika outbreak of a year or 2, the local disease incidence tends to fall way off.

[DrStockonomics]

Well that run didn't last long. What a crappy way to end what was a good week.

went up on Zika hype. Now over-sold. should see middle ground in the 27-28 range within a week.

[shub]

I don't think XON's future is in Zika prevention.
First, Wolbachia bacterial control is advancing nicely,
Second, scientists say that the zika spread is near it's peak and will decline probably.
Third, the public hysteria about "Frankenskeeters" makes general release politically uphill.
4th . the cost is prohibitive for all but wealthy areas.
XON is a sprawling and diverse company working on a number of promising arenas and that' good enough for me.

The Wolbachia bacteria can potentially help in this fight but it's a variable % proposition, much like our Oxitech offering.
There is some early indication of both the mosquitoes and the disease organisms eventually developing resistance.
Wolbachia is apt to be cheaper and more politically acceptable.

Intrexon Provides Update on Recent Stock Trading Activity

XON 27.1 -9.73 (-26.42%)
QUOTES AS OF 04:00:41 PM ET 04/21/2016

GERMANTOWN, Md. , April 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Intrexon Corporation(XON) , a leader in synthetic biology, provided an update to its shareholders regarding recent trading activity in the company's common stock. On Thursday, April 21, 2016, a materially false and misleading report regarding the company, its subsidiaries and its chairman and CEO was published on Seeking Alpha, a financial blog.
Intrexon Corporation logo

Intrexon (XON) does not, as a general matter, respond to blog posts, investor reports or analyst communications. In this case, however, Intrexon(XON) is providing this update given the inaccuracy of the report's content, the stated intent of the publisher to issue several more spurious reports in the coming days, and information received last night regarding the erroneous publication.

Yesterday evening, Intrexon(XON) received a draft report, dated December 2015, which contained similarly inaccurate claims and strikingly similar language, in some parts identical words, to that used in yesterday's report. Moreover, Intrexon(XON) received information that the source of the report was a particular hedge fund seeking to discredit Intrexon(XON). The hedge fund, according to our information, desired to take a short position in the company's stock, was seeking a willing publisher of its report on the company, and intended to benefit from trading activity caused thereby.

Based on this information, Intrexon(XON) believes that it is the target of a campaign to manipulate trading in the company's securities, interfere with the company's business operations, and destroy the reputation of the company and its chairman and CEO. Intrexon(XON), with the advice of counsel, is taking appropriate steps in light of these developments. In the meantime, we wish to assure our investors, collaboration partners, and employees that the company remains dedicated to advancing our business and to generating value for our shareholders.

Could be a nice payday. Could see it trading over 35 within the year and you'll still have 2 more years. I'd rather buy leaps in XON than ZIOP. $10 Leaps in ZIOP should be safe though.
Good luck and best wishes binks
