Here, eat these cookies, keep your seatbelt fastened, here's a coloring book..... we'll be there by next week......
noretreat: "are we there yet?" Almost......
My guess, and it's only a guess, is that there is going to be a mammoth press release next week with data on more than one front, and any remaining shorts are going to be squashed.
Well, that's not entirely true. It's not only a guess, it's a fervent hope too.
I think the smarter bears/shorts have figured this out and that is why they are stunningly absent these days.
muelch, I don't think it's disappointing to target mild to moderate, I think it's prudent. Severe psoriasis may be very difficult to measure changes -- mild to moderate should be easier. If it works on those cases, then they can try it on more difficult cases.
Excellent, loanranger, thanks for finding that (eom)
Just about anything is more effective than AXON's failed drug. In my opinion AXON is a scam, Wall Street insider buys garbage drug abandoned by big pharma, uses connections to do ridiculous IPO which traded up to 31 on first day. Where is it now? 18 and change...
Can't compare a teeny development stage biotech run by outsiders, to something like that. AXON is the one that ought to be trading in the pennies, not AVXL.
Thanks for your posts, I Need Help. Great to see thoughtful analysis of the action.
Yes, CTIX is a completely different story from the other stock I referred to. Many of us here bought both stocks and have lost big on the other one. Fortunately CTIX has already more than made up for those losses, many times over.
For the stock to be up so much today, on a terrible day in the stock markets, shows that something has changed. Whether shorts finally covered, or whoever was trying to assemble a large position at cheap prices is finally paying up, I don't know.
Of course there is also the less likely possibility, that good news has started leaking out.
Sometimes people get confused about which stock they're posting about.
This isn't the NNV* board.
I'd like to buy AAPL at 50 but I don't keep going to the AAPL board and irritate all the investors who were smart enough to buy it when it was at 50, posting about how I want and expect that.
And AAPL at 50 about as realistic as expecting CTIX to trade down to 2.
That's rich coming from you, the guy who keeps calling for a share price of 2.00
My thought, not based on any mysterious knowledge. is that the last shorts threw in the towel and also they or others decided to buy cheap shares, knowing as they do (and have known, while they bashed the stock) that there is news afoot. Of course that is speculation only.
What you mean is, you just won't get THEM, shares for 2 bucks. And if you don't know why not, then in fact you don't get it.
On the contrary, I told the traders in the private chat group I'm in to buy this morning below 2.50. They are quite happy they did.
However I make no claims as to knowing the inner workings of CTIX management, as others do here.
Broader markets down about 1.6%, CTIX up 5%. Sounds about right to me.
I guess some of the resident bears covered their shorts and maybe even reversed long. Thanks, fellas.
And how exactly do you have this mysterious knowledge about Mr. Ehrlich's vacation plans? Do tell.
Ha, the bollinger part wasn't the question, it was what Hound says is surfing reference. No surfing here in the midwest......
Poor ol' CEOs can't please everyone. A CEO of another company some of us have shares in was heavily criticized for sending a letter to shareholders. LOL
Just kidding, I really do like it when the CEO keeps us filled in. Hope Missling will do so with this.
But... but.... I believe everything that some stranger posts on the internet, don't you?
It must be tough to go through life being so cynical, not believing it when some guy says he has 3 or 4 hundred thousand shares of this, and another gazillion shares of that. Posting those big share positions just shows his credibility, don't you think? And we should all just run out and try to buy that many ourselves, even if it means selling the cat and taking a third mortgage on the house.
What does that mean in English?
Did you get filled on both shares?
vlady, really, you wanted a PR that would get lost in the Greek mess headlines? Not me, if I were in charge of press releases and had one ready to go, I would not have put it out today. But now I think it's more likely that we need to take him at his word, mid to late July.
A suggestion for improvement in the understanding of sarcastic posts -- because there are many more people who read this board than there are who post -- and because someone who reads the page for the first time won't know someone's posting history so they won't know when that person is being sarcastic:
maybe it would be best to post [/sarcasm] at the conclusion of a sarcastic post.
I will do so myself in the future.
I believe everything I read on the internet. They wouldn't let anything be posted if it weren't true.
So, so much that you're missing. Maybe willfully, maybe you just can't understand it. Read biodoc's post again and see if you can try to understand that.
Yes LR I did. (eom)
You'd better move to a community property state so you can claim half of it in the divorce settlement.
Oh wait, half of nothing is nothing, which "she" will get from the imaginary shares.
Never mind.
Yeah, we all know how much you've been cheering the company on and hoping for good news.
Never mind, others already posted....
".Wow, looking so far back in time!" -- I bet someone was posting old articles even then.....
You should probably sell sometime after you actually buy the stock.
Well gee a 70 cent price target, who wouldn't take that seriously? ( **slaps forehead** )
It's surprising that anyone takes that clown Ben Sharvy seriously (a high school teacher who says in his biography that he has no professional background in investing, and who has a 44% approval rating from the people who read his posts), much less would want to admit it.
Don't you mean, thanks a lot for posting an article that is very old and was discussed and thoroughly debunked when it came out over 2 months ago?
And I'm sure I speak on behalf of many, when I say -- thanks for once again making your unrelentingly bearish position clear to any who might have wondered if you have changed your tune.
When people have to resort to posting old stuff that is known to be untrue, in order to try to make this stock look bad, it's a great sign for all of us who own this stock -- because it means they are getting desperate.
This is an old article, from last April, which was debunked at that time. Sorry I didn't catch that before.
Our little bears are getting a tad desperate, I guess.
Anyone who is interested can go back through a few hundred pages of posts here and read the devastating, um, shall we say "neutering" of Dr. KSS's negative garbage.
I knew a young man who had a brain tumor when he was only 20. Amazingly, he was able to get an experimental surgery to remove the tumor -- supposedly inoperable -- but as a result had seizures and had to take seizure medication. That stuff turned him from a bright, verbal, engaged young man into a dead-eyed sleepwalker. When he tried to reduce the doses, the seizures returned. They saved his life, but the quality of life is not nearly what it was before his diagnosis.
We desperately need something to treat seizures that won't have these horrific side effects. For the sake of all those with these problems, I sure hope that AVXL's drugs will blaze a pathway toward better treatments.
Having a following does not mean that you are correct. This guy has very little credibility with those who have actually followed the progress of his recommended stocks. He's wrong a LOT.
Yeah that jerk "Dr. KSS" has a chip on his shoulder about CTIX. He's also wrong about what he says, no need to go into details because anyone who can look at a company with clinical trials and say that there is "no intent" to bring these drugs through clinical trials -- well, no credibility.
I am a subscriber there and this guy feels stupid because he wrote a very negative piece about CTIX and then it went up into the 4's, so now he's got to insist that the company is bad, without doing any research.
He also in the past has written some dramatically incorrect things which were corrected by people in the comments section, and magically those comments disappeared. So as much as I like Mr. Gumshoe himself, this guy's comments on CTIX are just dead wrong.
HOWEVER, I hope that some of you who have time will post some comments there. By the way, the last time he posted these same lies, many people posted comments correcting the record -- and yet he continues posting the same garbage. What does that tell you about his intellectual honesty?
AXON is a perfect example of why the "efficient market theory" is wrong.
They buy a failed drug for peanuts from a major pharma -- then do a big IPO and have a 2 billion dollar market cap. Why?
Because their founder and CEO is a young punk Wall Street insider. If a genuine small start-up had tried to do an IPO with this kind of background, they would have been laughed off the Street and no IPO would not even have happened. Also options became available quickly. These guys are profiting off the initial burst of craziness, and now can short it to zero via options. (The stock is already down 1/3 from its highs of the first day -- 3 weeks ago)
Then you compare that to AVXL -- drugs that may work on TWO different indications (epilepsy and Alzheimers) just for starters -- and market cap of 35 million.
Efficient market theory, hah !
Another place to leave comments about Brilacidin. Short animated video about biofilms etc.
