First, thanks for that interesting post. I always enjoy reading your stories.
I don't have your experiences with respect to being able to match NP up against other CEOs, or at least not of the caliber of CEO's with whom I've been successfully invested. So, when I say I agree with you re: NP's brilliance, I can't do so with the confidence of past comparative experience. Mine is from what I can only reference from common sense, stirred in with some gut feelings and finally seeing the already good results.
Understanding the fundamentals and potential for what they have created and comparing what they have created against what the world considers to be 'safe and effective' standards of care, causes my belief in NP to be highly confident. Your Big Picture view holds up against all of this and is why the more I read about it the more I hope I'm able to hold onto this investment for a longer period of time than what I initially thought might be possible.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Next thing, you won't be able to fart.
Agree or disagree with a person's stance in life, you're absolutely right and says a lot about a person's integrity and moral compass when they so quickly attack someone like that. Disgusting. I'll be glad when the Leronlimab/CYDY saga is finally decided and solidly moving forward so it becomes unnecessary to monitor this board every day. I appreciate the varying viewpoints on here and am always happy to learn more as I don't have all the answers and am always willing to consider other viewpoints when delivered in a respectful manner. Here's to a much brighter future.
Go $CYDY, Go Leronlimab and Go CytoDyn!
I love the 'Schmutz' in the mask comment.
I'm so glad to know that Leronlimab may very well be the 'cure' to the 'disease' known as stupidity surrounding the gestapo-like culture we're having to deal with...oh and the virus known as Covid-19. Here's to a healthier society and no more schumtz in our face masks.
Too funny...and exactly right.
I won't disagree on what a mask CAN do for you, not what they always do for you. You completely missed the part of my post, which you included in your quote, that states 'when I'm around others.' In other words, when I'm in my car, home or alone on a walking path with nobody around or out camping with only my immediate family, by ourselves then it's my choice, or should be, to wear a mask or not.
Don't give me this example of drunk driving because the two are nowhere near related and you know it. I see folks all the time choosing to wear a mask when in their own car by themselves driving around. That's their freedom to choose to do so just like it's my choice not to do so. I clearly stated that I do wear a mask when around others but I do not wear one when I'm by myself or in my own home. But, if you want to choose an analogy to use, let's use this one. Wearing less than an N95 mask is like thinking that putting up a chain link fence will keep out mosquitos.
Also, N95 isn't 100%. It's 95% effective. I see people wearing face coverings that are a waste of time as they are nowhere near compliant but it makes others feel good I guess in thinking the person is protecting themselves and everyone around them. Like I said, I'm in disagreement in the basic principle in the idea behind masks and I do wear one when appropriate to do so but I freely choose not to do so when alone while others freely choose to wear them when not around others and that's fine but it should be a choice, which was my original intention in my statement. That's all I'm going to say on this topic. Have fun.
To borrow mrhobbit's statement - He's absolutely right:
The bottom line is that no one needs to die from Covid because of CytoDyn. So wearing a mask is not the issue. Getting this drug into production is the issue.
Well stated.
Great post Sizzl.
I'm not saying people shouldn't get vaccinated. I am saying it should be a person's choice to decide what is done to their own bodies. I am not in favor of lining up and being told either get this vaccine or it's off to the concentration camps and we will vaccinate you anyway. What happened to free will and folks being able to exercise that free will. As one person so intelligently stated before if one person is vaccinated insists that another who doesn't want the vaccination, what are they afraid of? Could it be they really don't fully trust the vaccine to be all it claims to be? I say if you believe in the vaccine, then take it and you'll be protected. Don't worry about me, that's my job and you'll be just fine and safe, right? I think it boils down to a simple forgotten concept of freedom to choose. Most of the same people who scream Pro Choice are the same ones who claim no choice for vaccinations. That's a generalization of course but for some, that's true.
I believe Leronlimab has proven to be safe and am presupposing it will be proven to be effective. Nobody has been screaming it should be mandatory. Why not? What's the difference if it's safe and effective. Is it that pro vaxxers have another agenda? Probably not, for the most part. So why is it that they feel the need to control others' choices. They certainly enjoy their rights to make such proclamations.
I'm all for folks exercising the freedom to wear masks for their own protection and to practice social distancing. I adhere to this practice for the most part, i.e. when I'm around others. What I'm not in favor of is being told what I must do to my own body and health. I decide what goes in my body and you decide for you. Can't we remain civil and discuss this like intelligent and compassionate human beings? I would like to think so but I guess that's not an option for some?
Go $CYDY! Go Leronlimab! Go CytoDyn!
Scooter,
Enough Of The Fox News/OAN Tea Leaf Reading
Important TP, yes, important not to judge while difficult not to do so. Righteous anger is still anger and anger does no good. I've struggled a bit tonight over this very thing.
@PersianLeo I'm truly sorry to hear of the untimely passing of your father.
Tradinplaces, absolutely excellent question. I doubt we'll get a reasonable response from the intended.
Here's a quick question I have often pondered. If those who support vaxxing believe that it will protect them, then why are they afraid that those who don't will be a danger to them? Does that make any sense?
I agree. I could also counter the comment about any anti-vaxxer deserving to be put under ground with only an hour a day of sunlight with saying 'Anyone sheeple deserve what they get' but what good would such arguing accomplish other than to show and invoke unnecessary hostility.
I find it amazing though that so many are happy to be forced to do what the government wants without concern for freedom and safety. It's been proven OVER AND OVER that there are many harmful side effects to vaccinations but those with an agenda to force vaccines on others completely ignore the evidence. I'm not saying that SOME good isn't possible with vaccines. What I am saying though is that to say good folks should be put under ground for their beliefs is nothing short of a supremacist's viewpoint.
To accuse someone of being selfish for believing that their, or their loved one's, safety will be compromised if they refuse to take a vaccine can, and should, be looked at in the reverse. To insist that someone should be forced to receive a vaccination is nothing more than a selfish desire in of itself. Neither side of this issue, in my opinion, will ever convince the other and neither extreme viewpoint will ever truly win. To win means someone has to lose and if someone loses their freedoms, we all lose. Just my opinion.
I found the 3-page report to be very informative and, to me at least, very easy to understand in comparison to some other things I've read re: Leronlimab. Hope this helps.
Here's four images of the entire report. For some reason, after I redacted my personal information from the original PDF file and 'sanitized the metadata' using Acrobat Pro, the clarity (DPI) of the report in PDF form isn't quite as clear as the original. So, I broke the original PDF down into the following 4 images, starting with the intro and followed by each of the 3 pages from the report.

Thank you Ops. Makes sense. I appreciate response.
For what it's worth, I believe that to be a bad idea to get Leronlimab's name out before the results are back. If President Trump divulges Leronlimab's name, the media will do another hack job they they did with hydroxychloroquine. It'll be dead (in the media's eyes) before it even has a chance and will only serve to fuel the Shorts actions. I would avoid this at all cost. If Trump is holding the name and if it's Leronlimab, I believe that name holding is strategic.
First, thank you for your detailed answers/story. As you've mentioned both privately and publicly, you don't always get various acronyms when folks write out their messages and you've asked for folks to say, for example, Severe Adverse Effect (SAE). You repeatedly use the term Arb or Arbs. Although I am usually good at look at the context in which something is written and figure out the basic meaning, in this case, I'm just not understanding what Arb(s) means. Hate to sound dumb but by not asking, I'm not doing myself any favors.
Also, whether to you or to others who may read this, I keep reading folks talking about M2M and I have no idea what M2M means. Can someone please break this down for me? Thank you in advance.
Black Ops, I don't think your first answer to me stating that you weren't smart enough to trade was accurate. I suspect you simply don't wish to argue the merits of TA but I could be wrong. I truly did ask your opinion as I was genuinely curious as to your actual thoughts rather than a standard answer. If you don't care to get into that, I'll completely understand and it's most certainly not my wish to argue one way or the other. Mine was purely out of curiosity. I have my beliefs and experiences and others have theirs and to each their own I firmly believe.
My ENTIRE reason for trading/flipping is because I have VERY limited available finances in which to use for stocks (trading/investing). The reason, to be more specific, is that's about the only way I can truly afford to increase my position on my investments. Although I can add capital to my investment and often do so (in very small amounts), I'm more able to increase my investment position (long term holds) by swing trading/flipping. TA has been the primary tool to used in deciding when/how to do so. This has proven lucrative over the years for the few investments in which I've been involved. My current long-term investment has been in my portfolio since November, 2014. I've increased that investment over ten fold from my original position purchase by flipping as well as additional capital outlay. I'm not posting this to be contrarian by any means but am merely sharing my personal experiences. Your Big Picture wisdom is far better thought out and purposeful than my unintentional Big Picture holding time frame. My hold on my investment has been much longer than originally anticipated and I'm actually okay with that as I've been able to grow my position substantially and I haven't lost any money along the way. In fact, quite the opposite. I'm very much in the green. Your Big Picture viewpoint/experience has been valuable to me though in my considerations as to how I may approach future investments and for that, I especially thank you.
I respect your viewpoints and appreciate your stories as much as most do on here.
I want in on that cigar, drink and stories! :)
Thanks, and I absolutely agree with you. Fundamental shifts always change the charts.
I do believe in using the charts (with risk of course) in order to swing trade a stock in which I'm INVESTED. There's always risk in doing this. A good friend of mine, Tradinplaces, taught me early on though that while I was risk adverse and afraid to risk swing trading a portion of my investment, should I make a mistake, I could always jump back in. Although I would lose some shares, at least I was playing the game. I wouldn't risk large amounts of shares typically so my risk was manageable.
It took me awhile to gain a level of confidence in doing this and I still, NEVER risk more than I'm comfortable with but at least I do, occasionally see a good opportunity for a swing trade and I take it. I will admit though, I'm still, more often than not, risk averse and fail to pull the trigger even though I can see the setup as clear as day. I saw it when we were approaching $10 and failed to execute even though the charts were screaming to flip some of my shares, knowing full well that a correction was coming. Those corrections are typically bear raids but also include folks who are taking some profits off the table or are afraid the trade is done and want out. Those are usually the folks who know NOTHING about the fundamentals of the company.
If I were a trader of this stock the charts would be useful between expected news dates. News remakes the chart each time. Biotechs at this stage like CYDY trade like earnings report time. Nobody knows what the earnings will be but if you are in it for the long haul it does not matter unless a catastrophic news item breaks the investment thesis.
Use your charts to trade but not to invest - especially in biotechs at this stage in the game.
I'm in complete agreement in understanding. Here's a couple questions for you. I don't see that you've addressed flipping in order to increase a long's position. Do you ever use TA in order to flip? I have and have mostly been successful. Are you recommending that folks not use TA for flipping? I don't get the sense that you are as you haven't addressed TA for that purpose.
Myself and a few of my friends have been long-term (Big Picture advocates) of another investment in which we have successfully used TA for flipping to increase our positions. This has allowed me to increase my position over the years and amass a much larger position than when I first got in. That, of course, also includes the outlay of additional capitol as well in order to increase my position by taking advantage of significant drops in share price from time-to-time.
We've used TA to look for logical exit and re-entry points while flipping the stock. There are other short-term plays where the fundamentals of a company weren't strong like they are with CYDY, for example, but the pump and dump nature of a flawed company provided flipping opportunities and TA was very useful in those cases.
It's my perception that your Big Picture concept (and it's a great viewpoint), is primarily intended for those companies that 'have the goods' and aren't a fly-by-night type of company. It's for a REAL company with a REAL asset(s), particularly that provides innovation and meets a global type of demand. Am I flawed in my thinking?
Black Ops, I'm only replying to you in order to tag onto your post. I know you don't need to know this.
To add to what Ops is saying, one of the reasons people so stringently adhere to Technical Analysis (TA) is because there's this old saying that holds true. "Charts do what charts do because people do what people do. People do what people do because charts do what charts do."
Think of it as self-fulfilling prophecy. The psychology that Ops mentions is a powerful 'force' but the key thing that MOST TA folks forget, especially the non-seasoned ones, would be FUNDAMENTALS. Like Ops said, when, and assuming IF, the FDA gives approval for Leronlimab, all the TA goes out the window. New TA will kick in though as it always does. Where this will often fail is due to the explosivity factor due to the growth potential, especially if Cytodyn smartly handles the frequency and sustained duration of news releases. Cytodyn will hopefully realize the need for professional Public Relations firm to assist with this. Each positive news release, if properly spaced out will continue to throw fuel on the fire. Another catalyst could be the unknown size of the NAKED short positions that have to be covered.
Because of the large number of indications in which Leronlimab potentially addresses, the global need and the unknown potential growth factor, many will sell too soon because of their past experiences. They will fall into the trap of believing their past experiences, charts and 'gut' feelings and feel they've gotten just about all that's possible to get out of this investment and will initially be proud of themselves for their gains. Hey, any profit is good profit as they say. However, it doesn't feel so good when you realize you were incorrect and that you could have made MUCH larger gains if you'd only had some patience and allowed this to more fully play out.
Having said that, folks will do what they have to do in order to survive and there's nothing wrong with that. Bills have to get paid, meals eaten and the needs of life still need to be met. The right decision is the one you make that's best for you. I'll be in the number who, undoubtedly, will need to sell much too soon and that's simply due to necessity, not desire. I believe all of us who are long will do well, no matter how long we hold. This drug, if approved, can only go up over time as the potential is HUUUUGE. The anti-inflammatory nature of what LL does is beyond what most will probably ever understand. I wish all of you (who are long), only the greatest of success.
Thanks to all of those who provide great DD and helpful insights.
Rockleo, I hear you. Often life experience, mingled with street smarts, common sense and courage (intestinal fortitude) are more rewarding than book smarts. I'm not denigrating book smarts as I believe they are important but I just think the other skills are at least as equally important. Good on your "DUNCE" classmate!
Your contrarian perspective in relationship to the overwhelming bullish perspective on this board is a positive as it makes investors contemplate more aggressively why they they own this investment.
The result is they are convinced even more then before this is a very rare investment w tremendous upside over both the short term and long.
Thank you for your posts Hopester they are a blessing in disguise.
Dieselpro & Black Ops
Dieselpro, I'm not a medical professional by any means and I am perfectly willing to be corrected. Having said that, if my understanding is correct, one of the primary benefits (MOA) of Leronlimab is that it acts as an anti-inflammatory. I know that's over-simplifying it but if I'm basically correct, this means the list of indications can only grow parabolic over time. When I begin to think of the possible applications for this drug, my mind begins to spin. I feel like if I tell people about this they will think I'm ludicrous and laugh at me because it just seems almost unbelievable.
Black Ops, I've been closely following your posts, along with a few other intelligent folks on here, and I know that to some, your projections that are outside the normal expectations may seem outrageously high, I think you're being conservative. I have a feeling, and I can't speak for you, but I think you believe it could be higher than you're even stating. I do also believe that this is a long haul investment and that the daily price action, especially at this point, is completely irrelevant, unless you're trying to buy or needing to sell for whatever unfortunate reason. Unfortunately, I only learned about CYDY in the last couple of months and therefore only have a very small position compared to most long term investors here. I can't expect to get 'rich' from my meager investment but I will do quite well regardless. If I had a much larger stake then I would want to hold this long-term. Since I don't, and since I believe my returns on my position will be able to greatly benefit me in the more near-term, I will most likely be unloading my meager 1,000 share position much sooner than you in order to use my gains for another pursuit in which I'm involved. I wish I were able to significantly increase my position at these prices and that might change my goals. I've actually considered selling my truck and/or motorcycle to significantly increase my position.
The problem with a vaccine is that it can become ineffective upon mutation of the virus, assuming it's even fully effective and without SAEs, whereas something like Leronlimab relieves the body of its extreme inflammation thereby allowing the body to then turn its attention and energy to self-healing via its natural antibody system that is far better than any man-made 'antivirus' drug. Leronlimab simply removes the impediment to the body's ability to take care of itself. I know that's a huge over simplification that NP and BP and all the other doctors, scientists, etc., probably cringe at but hopefully it mostly typifies what Leronlimab does and why it is so effective.
I love that quote by Boorstin -- Thanks, I'm going to borrow that. :)
Although there may be some weak hands selling, I would offer an alternative viewpoint. After watching the Time & Sales pretty closely along with another friend (Tradinplaces), my friend began to point out that there were a very large number of trades that went through with very large block sizes being sold. This isn't what you typically see when people are selling off.
I would offer that those large blocks that drove the price down were air shares being sold to those wanting to buy at lower prices and not folks selling their shares. In other words, the market makers were selling shares they don't own to people wanting to buy, not folks selling shares in their inventory.
Having said that, yes, there's no doubt that some also sold on the way down for one of at least 2 reasons. Those reasons were most likely either an attempt to flip or take some profit off the table. If their reason was to take some profit off the table it was either in fear of losing more than they felt comfortable losing or they were simply being prudent and locking in some profits. I don't think there were many selling because their perception of the press release was negative. There was absolutely zero in that PR that could be legitimately construed as negative.
What we saw was nothing more than a classic bear raid. Today may not be the last day of the raid so don't be surprised if we see more in the next day or two, or until results re: the efficacy finally get released. Once we have absolute proof of BOTH safety and efficacy, we should see more stable price action. Don't think though that there won't be more bear raids at higher prices because we will.
The market makers have been doing this a long time and know how to play the game. They will make money no matter what, even while they're losing money, they will be making plenty more. CYDY isn't their only arena to take money from the unsuspecting and uneducated. Do they feel pain? Sure, but it is usually short lived unless they experience a MOASS (mother of all short squeezes) and even then, they recover and continue business as normal.
What long investors should remember is that the professionals know what they're doing, even when they make some bad calls. All we can do is learn how that game is played in order to minimize our losses and maximize our gains. Keep emotions out of your decisions if you want to make wise decisions.
These are my opinions and nothing more. I'm sure wiser and more experienced traders can better speak to this topic.
Why what? DO you mean why is it unfortunate that it's no longer there or why was it taken down?
If 'why is it unfortunate'...uh....do I have to 'splain it?
IF 'why is it no longer there'....I have no idea. Is it possible they weren't supposed to put that info out at this time and were asked to remove it for now? Or, was it mistakenly posted before it was supposed to and they took it down? I really have no idea and it will all be a moot point tomorrow when whatever happens, happens and the information begins to hit the streets. I'm not trying to be flippant here.
Yeah, I figured you may not be aware of the status or I doubt you'd have put it up to purposely mislead. It's possible it was up and then taken down? Who knows.... Regardless, starting tomorrow, we should start learning more as all is revealed.
I particularly liked the comment by NP on Saturday wherein he mentioned that after Tuesday, he'll be wearing the Annecdote/ECMO t-shirt.
I did a quick search for Mel Toy to see if she's had any updates on her YouTube channel. Although I didn't find any new Leronlimab/Covid-19 updates on her condition, I was happy to see that she put up a video dated Jul 2, 2020 entitled Beer in Charlotte | Devil's Logic Brewing. So, apparently, she's doing much better now. She was with some friends visiting a brewery and didn't seem to be symptomatic at all. She seemed healthy and happy.
Unfortunately, if it was on the OANN site, it's no longer there.
The good thing about Leronlimab is that it doesn't matter whether Covid 19 is viral or bacterial. It's completely irrelevant in that Leronlimab isn't attacking the virus/bacteria itself. Leronlimab reduces/eliminates the inflammation, which is a symptom of Covid 19. By reducing/eliminating the inflammation, the body is then able to work on naturally eliminating Covid 19 without the interference of the inflammation.
Think of it like this. Let's say your house is on fire and being fueled by a leaking gas line. The typical approach is to try and douse the fire with water. But, because there is an unending supply of fuel from the gas line the efforts are futile. The second approach is to approach the gas line and shut it off, thereby eliminating the fuel source and thus exterminating the fire. Leronlimab is like shutting off the gas line.
That's an oversimplified analogy but I'm sure you get the meaning.
If you take those same numbers and apply Black Ops' 100PE....$1,280 pps.??
Yeah, so 18M volume and ever increasing price means everyone is abandoning this stock? How can you actually state something as ludicrous as this when absolutely every but of data screams exactly the opposite? Wait, is this 'opposite day' in grade school and someone forgot to tell me?
Quick lesson: high volume and increase in price equals exactly the opposite of dumping. No charge for that.
You really nailed this one right! LOL
Apparently not. I'm anxiously awaiting your next prediction so I can "fade"....
Thank you for responding. I mostly asked because your remarks are 'stickied' at the top of the page and I think more relevant posts might be called for at this time. Just my opinion to whomever is in control of such.
Good summation but just one small correction. The high we reached today was 5.06, just for the record. I think we'll see a strong close above $5 tomorrow.
