You claim to be a long time holder of IPIX then turn right around and say
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"IPIX is a huge lottery ticket and is the only OTC stock that I own.
There is as much hype as science IMO...and Leo is very frustrating."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Which part of the current status of Brilacidin indications do you not find completely validated by FDA trials or independent RBL testing:
1 OM being P3 ready
2 B-IBD pill not being P2 ready
3 CV testing not being valid re: Kidney tissue results
Lung tissue results
Brain inflammation results
PAN-CORONA virus grant request
4 B being antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral
5 B having 3 MOAs with which to attack corona viruses
6 B having a shot at handling ENTIRE range of coronavirus problems
7 B having an amazing safety profile
In the face of the scientific results shown above in various testing to date, how much "hype" could there be over and above what has been proven as FACT to date?
Then to top it off and choose a person I have on ignore to give kudos to, that rubs most longs the wrong way. We aren't testy or overly sensitive, just righteously outraged when someone throws science and fact out the window.
We can't control the stock price, especially with so many traders now that have next to nil knowledge of IPIX and Brilacidin, but neither their pitiful trading schemes or the anti-IPIXers false statements can hold back the train which now is IPIX heading into unchartered territory in stock price, name identity, or acclaim by the world of medicine.
Linked article says UCSF Medical School paid $1MM to cyber hackers as ransomware to get back data.
UCSF is where Dr. DeGrado has his definsin protein lab. Wonder if this is just a coincidence or possibly some Chinese effort to gain data on this arm of medicine?

I wouldn't mind seeing news come out on 2 July (had heard markets closing early that day) in the morning so as to get a rush prior to everyone leaving for big weekend and let the news percolate thru the weekend.
Could be a heck of a day Monday, 6 July, if the news is great.
Pretty sure it was the U of Boston which has a computer that can evaluate up to a couple of thousand drugs / day or so and they ran thru the entire list of possible drugs already approved or partially thru trials and Brilacidin came up in the top 11 or so.
Karin said the same thing, that the FINRA number is comprised of both buys and sells during the day that didn't have offsetting shares for the trade.
I know nothing about this, so I could see the FINRA number being high, but I know others that are very well versed in this matter and they have differing opinions.
I am between a rock and a hard place here. Will bow out of the conversation since I am the short stick in this fight.
I realize I am missing something somewhere because things just don't add up.
Are you saying the FINRA numbers are both buys and sells that don't have offsetting shares at the time of trade?
Not arguing here, but where in the future would the world say it is now time to not have to wear masks? Or should this be considered the new norm for living?
You said "The MM will cover what he sells short by end of day".
So where is he getting the shares to cover the short sales?
I am not an expert on this so I could have a misconception on how this all works, but IMO I thought the MM had to sell short because there were more shares wanting to be bought than shares were available for sale.
Now if EVERYDAY the MM is always having to issue short shares to make transactions (isn't that where we get the FINRA numbers, they are what you are saying are meaningless intraday MM short sales), and yet by the end of the day you say the MM has closed all those short sales it would mean a lot of sales came in the afternoon so that the MM could close all those intraday short sales he had to make in the morning.
To be believed, one wouldn't expect this same pattern EVERYDAY as there has to be a large number of days when sales far outnumbered buys so the MM had a very tiny intraday FINRA number and yet I haven't seen a small FINRA number in over a year.
The large FINRA numbers mean something, I am not an expert to determine just what. But something just doesn't smell right about the whole thing to me.
The truest fact, though, is that hedge funds are making OBSCENE amounts of money and I, for one, find it hard to believe these scum bags are the smartest traders on the planet day in and day out. It has to be the SYSTEM is rigged tremendously in their favor (IMO) and nobody can change my mind in that regard. Too much money involved, too shady of characters involved, too much govt oversight being paid by the people they are supposed to be overseeing, same ol' same ol' political payola - this just happens to be for Wall St.
And we are to believe these types have no interest in IPIX and have had no hand in the years long price compression. Oh no, not the holier than thou MMs or hedge funds. LOL.
I have a completely different take. I think he took that article by the researcher at the RBL (GMU) who published a paper already posted here on the work regarding peptides working against CV. I read that paper and there was nothing about Brilacidin.
Didn't think there would be - Why?
The researcher who did the lung studies at the RBL is the same person who is going to be writing that peer-reviewed article to be forthcoming soon and also the same person that wants to do an entire PAN-CORONA investigation of Brilacidin against all coronaviruses. Now why would he want to publicize anything about Brilacidin now (outside of the lung tissue test peer review article) prior to doing all the other testing for B across the spectrum of CV? This research should set this guy up for life as far as professional recognition goes as he will be THE MAN who spotlighted and delved into the entire possibilities of B working against CV and other viruses. He is not going to blow that now by letting other researchers in on his golden egg.
It is excellent that Dr. Marakay is aware of the powers of peptides and those who just emailed him about B should have a better chance of him reading the information since it is an AMP.
That is a good start - the PRO-CORONA results, if excellent, could make IPIX almost a small pharma alone due to all the other possible coronavirus treatments which might prove effective as is planned for CV19.
Won't go into naming them until we start hearing positive investigative results for any of them that B does prove effective. But the revenues could be monstrous.
Due to the pandemic circumstances and our assurances from govt that things were being done with all haste and $50MM-$100MM being chump change to our spendthrifts in politics, most thought the grant application being submitted with the RBL (remember, that is a govt lab), especially for a PAN-CORONA investigation (meaning they found something pretty special across the whole spectrum of corona viruses, not just CV19) that it would result in a grant within a matter of a few weeks. We are now over 2 weeks and just shy of 3 so many believe it could be any day now.
Also looking like Trump needs a good news bulletin re: CV19 to help with his poll numbers and getting a human trial with some results by election day means they have to get going now to set it up and that takes funds. Most of us believe Brilacidin is THE leading drug to be able to be turned into a formidable treatment for CV19 and the Trump admin should jump on it with both feet.
But in reality, nobody knows. We could still be weeks away, but the vast majority of people don't believe that IMO.
I have always thought Brilacidin didn't get enough credit in the ABSSSI trial as the results only highlight that it did as well as Daptomyacin in one dose as D did being dosed for a week, but they never mention that Brilacidin also has the ability to kill any and all bacteria it has come up against and I don't think D has that ability, much less being able to kill super bugs. Are super bugs bacterial, viral, or can they be both?
Only problem, as I have interpreted it, is that most antibiotics work fairly well normally and appear to be cheaper so special antibiotics such as Brilacidin are not called for except for special treatment, making their financial return minimal for the developers. Thought that was why the govt was offering financial incentives for companies that do develop new super-antibiotics that could do a job on the super bugs since otherwise companies wouldn't work on better antibiotics.
Anyway, that is my take on the ABSSSI situation as it stands now.
Tomorrow is no different than any other day.
We may get news, we may not. If we don't, we are just one day closer to getting it.
Makes me think someone is expecting to do some trading tomorrow and wants to play no matter if news comes or not by playing to the frothing crowd.
Seems to be a repeat of last weekend.
Too many people saying big news tomorrow and, if it doesn't appear, than that leaves the door open for a retreat due to IPIX missing a target at which they never said they were aiming.
Could we get news tomorrow, definitely yes.
Will we get news tomorrow, nobody knows.
Let's keep it real.
Agree, also believe at this time with possible money becoming available to IPIX that Leo may want to evaluate a bit more just how he wants to take OM into commerciality.
Remember, we already have the delivery system perfected and it allows for easy manufacture, shipping, storage, shelf life, and use by the patient.
It has no real competitors in the market so all doctors should flock to it for their patients as what Dr wants to open himself up to a costly lawsuit for not prescribing a treatment that could prevent ungodly pain and/or death?
The P3, after B proves itself safe in the soon-to-be human trials for CV19, should be very limited in scope as to number of patients and the trial will finish very quickly as answers will all be in within 7 weeks due to speed of B working on OM.
What Leo had planned for OM could be changing as we speak as he may not be confined to what he HAS to do to get OM to market but what he WANTS to do to get OM to market.
This is the easiest of all the indications IMO that Leo could have IPIX take privately to market. If so, I assume we would need a worldwide sales partner (certainly not like a BP that would want an 85/15 split or so in their favor)or possibly someone like Evonik on a 50/50 split or something more advantageous in IPIX's favor. Even a worldwide rep that would take a 5-10% payment on all sales.
Just another of the many balls I believe Leo is juggling at the current time.
GREAT JOB!!
Thank you
I never take for granted what really successful men (such as Bill Gates) see for the future. There was a slap at him today for thinking world would be turning to near human robots soon and IMO that is not a "Dick Tracy" cartoon play but a near certainty. For example, the military is headed that way now in a real hurry (Why put human life at risk when robots, drones, etc can take all the risk and still perform the missions?).
Crazy coincidence, I was at the Navy PostGrad School in Monterey Ca '72 and highly into paranormal potential (not academically, just personally) and I went around telling people that by the time I died the norm would be telepathic communication between people and telekinetic ability to move items mentally. Well, the world took me on a different path and I have always regretted not following that line of work. Now that I am retired, no reason I can't get into it full-time so maybe that will become my focus in life. Who knows?
I still believe the greatest advancement for mankind remains ahead of us and that is the unlocking of our brains to their full potential. We are still in the kindergarten stage IMO regarding this situation. We read about people getting hit by lightning and turning into mathematical geniuses, we are all aware of idiot savants (as in Rainman w/ Dustin Hoffman), and other times the brain shows a glimpse of its potential if we only knew how to operate it fully.
As for IPIX, I think too many stockholders still don't give Leo credit for balancing so many balls at one time as he is now doing. I believe he has myriad things going right now, is abuzz with contacts by BPs and other large moneyed entities, is evaluating pathways for each and every indication to date, and we will be surprised at what occurs in the very near future. I look for quite exciting times from now until the end of the year. Sure would like to get the ball rolling this week, though, with some news of a nice grant or two being awarded to us. Will it happen this week, ???? But it will happen very, very soon. Like another post said today, I believe there are MANY of us who now have become Buffett-like investors in IPIX in that we are betting heavier and heavier as we become more and more certain that Brilacidin will be shown to be a world-beater as a successful drug.
They are very close to MD Anderson Hospital in Houston, a great cancer hospital. Not sure how that would transfer over to CV, though.
There are great hospitals all across the nation so any RBL would be OK with me.
I, too, do not put any of my IPIX aspirations against a short squeeze.
But in totality on the overall stock market, T+2 is a license to steal for MMs and they do a damn good job of taking advantage of it. IMO
People keep saying it has nothing to do with actual short sales, but if EVERY DAY the number is between 40% to 70% why wouldn't one think there are certainly a lot more buys than sells since the MMs are always short of stock (meaning throughout the day they have no stock to sell) how would they all balance out at the end of the day? Are they saying all the sells come in the last few minutes of the day to balance out all the buys during the day which required them to issue short shares?
One would think on a fairly balanced stock there would be almost an equal amount of days where buys are favored 1/2 the time and sells are favored 1/2 the time.
But we see shorts in LARGE supply each and every day?
Odd IMO

Rems..... seems to be the largest paper dragon drug ever. No known successful trials to date, but it gets anointed as the cure to save the world before it passes any real trials. Someone paid off someone a LOT of money to keep this pig floating for so long
Maybe the govt needs to put in inventory another 50MM+ doses of this crap to make everyone feel better.
Hope B goes up against it in trials whenever possible. Only problem is that Rems.... sets the bar so low Brilacidin might take it for a limbo contest and could never hope to go that low.
MMs don't need to cover w/ T+2 trading rules. They just keep floating the SHO between themselves continually. That is why only a T+0 trading requirement will prevent the vast theft of retail investors money. MMs basically have a legal way to steal. And if they get caught, FINRA (the govt agency supposed to protect retail investors) gives them a minor slap on the wrist fine because guess who pays for FINRA? That's right, the same MMs FINRA is supposed to be overseeing.
Ask Overstock about naked shorting. They had more naked shorts than they had legal shares on the market. But according to many who don't believe in naked shorting, that just couldn't happen.
You are looking at data for "legal" shorts.
We all know about illegal "naked" shorts and that volume ranges across an unbelievably large spread - from next to nothing to 100+MM shares.
Who is right? No one knows as "naked" means they are non-transparent from the MMs doing the trading and no official records are kept regarding them. How do we know they are there? Why else would trading on a $.40 penny stock be done to hundredths to thousandths of a penny (such as $.38645). This is all algorithm computer trading.
For those that don't understand this, google naked shorting as it is one of the biggest problems facing retail investors today, especially in the bio startup market.
A great many stockholders have looked upon this week as a tragedy for the stock, but in reality it hasn't been that bad and it appears the worst is behind us (at least IMO).
Last Fri closed at .46, triple what it was the previous Fri close.
Now it sits at just about .39, down .07 for the week or about 15% from the .046 close last Fri.
Now who wouldn't say down 15% for a big consolidation week isn't bad at all? The only reason it appears way down (or at least feels way down) was many tried to sell the idea too hard that grant news would come out this week (again, retail, we are our own worst enemy) and some entity seems to have played us early in the week with big run ups Mon and Tues in the last 30 min of the trading day.
All in all, not nearly as dire as some have tried to paint the week and we are now a week closer to getting the grant news. Will it come this week, no one knows, but the chances are much higher every day.
Great update on the IPIX website today and it sure looks like Brilacidin is loaded for bear in handling future tests for CV19 and the other PAN-CORONA viruses.
I think we all look at the profits we missed out on by not trading correctly this week, but in the long run who really wants to chance that many shares flippping when monster news should be right around the corner? I don't trade because I ALWAYS get bitten in the a**. Take away that factor and the week wasn't bad at all.
Brilacidin sure seems to be in the right place at the right time with the right people soon to be doing a full investigative test on its broad spectrum of features and advantages and has a great chance of becoming the super drug it was designed to be. Kevetrin not looking bad, either.
And you have the gall to put "honest" in your IMHO.
Shame
I won't be doing any more responding to your views even if I disagree. As I have done with others, we will just have to agree to disagree.
Put yourself in Fauci's shoes or BARDA's shoes.
Your RBLs submit data that shows Brilacidin could/should work against the entire range of viruse to include Ebola, HIV, Flu, and other very dangerous viruses. It also shows to potentially be able to provide a complete treatment for CV19 and a host of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory problems.
You have made statements that there should be a vaccine by early 2021 and I think all in medicine knows this is implausible. And again, if the vaccine is only good for a few months are we going to have to live in a socially distanced world in the future?
Brilacidin could prevent this from occurring.
Would you want to have to answer to many deaths from CV19, HIV, Flu, etc in the coming months, not to mention wrecked economies, and the possible suspension of most of the things people like to do (get together for parties, go to sporting and cultural shows, state fairs, movies, etc) as to why you low-balled a possible total treatment when you spent like drunken sailors for everything else related to CV19 up to this point in time, to include massive amounts to BPs for worthless drugs trying to be repurposed?
If it was me, I would err on the side of an additional $50MM or so for testing something that has the chance to bring an end to this whole nightmare?
I now respect those that don't agree, but I don't understand why anyone would feel IPIX/RBls are going to be short changed on funding for a complete look at Brilacidin.
I was wrong on the comment I made about you saying K wasn't worth salt. That was GreenBioAnalyst. Sorry for my accusation.
No, it is just that your thinking is askew.
How much do you think the Angels should pay Trout this year, how much should LeBron James be paid?
According to your opinion, take the average of all professional outfielders and all NBA players and pay them barely above the average wage.
But they get BIG BUCKS --- Why?
Because they carry a much heavier load and bring in the fans.
Same thing with Brilacidin. But you just keep seeing Brilacidin and Kevetrin as run of the mill drugs (or less, as you basically said Kevetrin wasn't worth squat).
Thinking that askew IMO shows up strangely when the poster appears to have a modicum of intelligence.
So why have we seen large grants for drugs with little to no prospect of succeeding? What other drug brings so many benefits to the table as Brilacidin? What other drug is being asked by an RBL to be investigated for a PAN-CORONA?
Why wouldn't one expect a large grant award? Not only are they looking at CV19, they want to look at ALL Corona viruses in addition to many more + areas of inflammation (kidney, brain, lung, etc)
RBK asks in the grant for a PAN-CORONA investigation of Brilacidin and you come up with $2-10MM for award.
Your bias against IPIX is bizarre.
Of course, if you worked for Polymedix in years past I can see why you would be so pissed to see some other company reap the rewards from the work Polymedix brought to life.
I have always questioned the general intelligence nowadays of the American people, as we seem to have a majority of brainless idiots (sadly a majority of so called college educated people fall in this category), and the movement of this stock is evidence of it.
Monster news assured in the near future and yet we have a horde bailing at the first sign of a short play.
Where are the defenders nowadays, all I see are sheep, on the news with the rioting and looting and here with all the numbskull new investors that obviously have no clue as to the stocks they are investing and the odds of them going up spectacularly.
My view is that if we don't close all the gaps tomorrow or if we don't announce funding that could send a man to Mars that California will drop off into the ocean, Yellowstone is going to blow, China is going to invade, and a major asteroid is going to smack right down dead center into Wall St. The horror of it all will be beyond belief. I am almost hoping I don't wake up tomorrow morning but if I do and the stock drops to the .20s, then I am going to buy 5MM shares and if it drops to .10 I will buy 100MM shares. Never could not take advantage of a good sale. Hope I didn't scare anybody with my views, but I just finished reading Nostradamus and I am certain IPIX dropping in price will set off the above tragedies.
Or then again, maybe today was just a day of consolidation.
That makes sense. thanks
I have been wondering why someone who plans on making a large purchase would wait until the last 30-45 min of trading as that has been the highest stock price every day since the news last Wed. Why not get it just prior to noon when the stock always seems about the lowest?
I believe for many people contracting CV19 may be the luckiest day of their lives - Why?
The treatment will be an IV of Brilacidin. As such, B will work against any and all bacterial, viral, and inflammatory problems in the body and the patient may walk out no longer having CV19 but also finding a treatment that will lessen the pain of MANY other problems.
I invested for the same reasons as you, but when I now see the broad spectrum of B indications and understand that many learned medical people say we have just begun to scratch the surface of B's many uses, I don't think B takes a backseat to K any longer.
Nice to have a fight as to which drug will become the bigger superstar.
Add up the varied yearly revenue streams of B and they FAR exceed K's 100B for cancer.
Yeah, those 1/2 cent savings per share really add up (if you're buying tons but for 20K shares all you are saving is $100). Necessary for some and I respect them for trying to get the best price, but for the vast majority simply a game. That's why I have no sympathy for them if they miss out should big news cause a sudden spike.
I can understand a day of price consolidation, but I am quite surprised at the volume being so low.
