Amen to that.
I marvel at the patients the members of this board have for such a speculative company. I have owned cygx since 2001. Wonder whatever happend to thalio? Remember thinking that by 2005, i'd know the direction of this thing. Was hoping to be able to enjoy some of the 'gains', haha, while I was relatively young. Well, I must say that my patients is almost depleated. We have reached the point where a notice that the company was able to dilute the stock, again, is seen as good news. Was going to get out at 1.30, then 1.20, etc. What happened to the positive direction this thing was heading. This was before SynDNA. Now this seems to be the only egg in the proverbial basket. Pass the prozac please. I'm feeling depressed.
dree-ee-eam, dream dream dream...................
Is anyone else getting errors on the page download from board. When I click on comment I get another persons response.
The first animation was based on the life of my first wife. That's why I need cygx to sell something!!
I understand about indecision....
Only 'Ferris' comes to mind.
Calm before the storm??
All quiet on the western front??
thanks
To clarify, Dumb would be CFO, dumber = COO...(Just in case Malcomb is reading this board)!!
They already have, 'Dumb and Dumber'..
Sauce regarding, "did the 10-Q mention any dates for upcoming events?" I think I saw something in there about Malcomb, a rabbit and a hat soon to be forthcoming.....
I can't think that such an apparent cluster@#$% could have a good effect on the share price. My guess is any weak hands are gone tomorrow and we see the .50s. Hope I'm wrong.
I guess this mean my merger theory wasn't right. Hanuman, get the bone cutter ready, I heading to La Jolla.....
I'm on record as 'Not' being the sued basher!!
and better and better...
this just keeps on getting better and better.
Hanuman, Glad to know you in the replacement business. If cygx doesn't report pretty soon, I'm going to need some new parts...
Increase in capital gains tax is minimum 3 yrs away. Hopefully there will be a reason to take advantage of the current lower rate by then, Malcomb, hint hint, nudge nudge..
I lika ur thinkin'
Nice golf course there at Circle C if you are a golfer.
When should we expect the Q3 report? Anyone...
JAFO. Welcome aboard.
I thought Arnold was the pig on Green Acres. Anyway, that's what I picture when I read his swine talk.
Skoob, What is rain? 103' today in DFW area with no rain for months. It looks like the surface of Mars around here!
Lipitor was mentioned on Coast to Coast last night. As I haven't been able to sleep for the past few years, (maybe a new path to explore w/ SdnaZZZZZZZZZ), I listen to talk radio in the wie hours....Mostly me and the wackos!!
Here is a link to the info on lipitor. My father has been taking lipitor for about 2 yrs and over the past year he has ben complaining of memory loss. He thought it was early stage of Alzheimer, scary.

nc4s - now that's the kind of 'figurin' I've been waiting to see on this board. Never could eat a peach though. Couldn't get past the fuzzy skin.
Certainly seems within the realm of possibility.!!
ATLANTA - Federal health officials announced plans Monday for a second vaccine to protect people from bird flu because the virus spreading among birds in Asia, Africa and Europe is changing.
The government has several million doses of an earlier bird flu vaccine, but it was based on a sample of virus taken from Vietnam in 2004. The germ is believed to have mutated enough since then that the form now circulating in Africa and Europe may be different, health officials said.
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said Monday he had authorized the National Institutes of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to begin working on a second vaccine for humans.
"In order to be prepared, we need to continue to develop new vaccines," Leavitt said at an immunization conference in Atlanta.
Government flu experts wouldn't speculate on whether the earlier vaccine would still protect most people. They said only that they believe it would be less effective than a new vaccine based on a more recent virus sample.
Calls for a second vaccine illustrate the challenge of coming up with an effective shot to protect humans from a strain of bird flu that might one day easily jump to humans. So far, that hasn't happened, but if it did, experts fear a worldwide, deadly flu epidemic.
Because all flu viruses constantly change, even making a vaccine for ordinary human flu poses hurdles.
Health officials plan to base the second vaccine on a sample taken from Indonesia last year, said Ruben Donis, leader of the molecular genetics team at the CDC's influenza branch.
The virus circulating in Indonesia is related to the Vietnamese virus, but it is not a descendant and causes a different immune system response, he said.
A vaccine based on the Vietnamese virus would be protective for people in the Vietnam region, but less effective against viruses circulating elsewhere, Donis said.
He said that perhaps scientists will one day develop a vaccine that protects against several different forms of bird flu.
The U.S. government is already spending $250 million for about 8 million doses against the Vietnamese version of bird flu. Federal officials contracted with two companies — Chiron Corp. and Sanofi Pasteur — for those doses, and most already have been produced, said Bill Hall, a spokesman for Health and Human Services.
The second vaccine must be developed and tested, and HHS had no estimate for the cost of that work.
The World Health Organization has reported at least 174 human cases of bird flu, including 94 deaths since 2003.
So far, most if not all of the human victims were in very close contact with infected birds, but health officials worry that as bird flu spreads, it could mutate into a strain that easily passes among people.
Dr. Margaret Chan, who is spearheading the WHO efforts against the virus, said it poses a greater challenge to the world than any previous infectious disease. Since February, the virus has spread to birds in 17 new countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Chan said.
Poland on Monday confirmed its first outbreak of the disease, saying laboratory tests found that two wild swans died of the lethal strain.
Several cats have also tested positive for the deadly strain in Austria's first reported case of the disease spreading to an animal other than a bird, officials in that country said Monday.
The WHO describes bird flu as unprecedented in its scope as an animal disease, saying it is costing the world's agriculture industry more than $10 billion and affecting the livelihoods of 300 million farmers.
Little known fact,,, Michael O'Keefe (Danny Noonan) was married to Bonnie Raitt of music fame. Smoke on that Carl....
I don't even know how to respond to something like the last post. There was a candidate for governor in Texas a few yrs ago, Clayton Williams, that said something just about as baffling. This one is right up there.
thanks D8. Gman eom
Down8, I appreciate your well thought out reply. Was your basis only US market? Did you account for worldwide demand potential? If not, care to rethink and reiterate possibilites? I'd welcome your perspective on this.
Gman
skippy, please explain your comment regarding Citi Global???
Oyvey!
My guess is that Aldevron brought cygx to the table so to speak as far as GE Healthcare is concerned. We know that Aldevron and GE were at least aware of each other(see below) and my guess is that GE is/was using Aldevron DNA at some level in their attempts to garner grant money. sDNA undoubtedly gives GE a better position in win grants from the gov.

Has it ever been discussed, or do we know if in fact GE Healthcare and Aldevron had a relationship prior to the cygx/ge announcement? It would also be good to know if Aldevron has ever received any grant $ from government. I will dig a little in my free time today but if someone knows the answer I would appreciate the info. eom
I hope you are 1/4 correct tibbs!
