I don't know what will happen tomorrow, I don't like the price dropping as it has been, but I bought another 1000 shares just cause it seemed cheap and just to average cost down being that about a week ago I bought 1000 around $4.
Hope it turns around.
Hopefully we close today 9.08 or higher.
Can someone provide the link to the phone number to listen to the Monday new conference.
I look at website, can't find it.
Thank You
Hi, Can you please explain "Trifecta Week"?
Is it 3 bits of news coming out about AVXL?
Or 3 different companies having news this week?
If so, what 3 companies?
Thank You
"The massive increase in enrollment in the short time frame and the rush to get the data presented at a medical conference leads me to believe we are going to get some decent data related to efficacy coupled with the already amazing safety profile."
I don't know how anyone can read the above words that you said, understand what it means, and come away with any other conclusion.
The best thing to do is look at what MRKR has accomplished so far in clinical trials with not a single case of cytokine release syndrome and with epitope spreading.
I'm pretty sure the answer is real thing.
You got a few days left to buy in before boom.
Good Luck
Apparently the analyst firm of Gleason and Alice agrees with you.
I believe they are using 5 antigens against AML and they are using the same 5 antigens for PC. I think only 2 of the 5 are PC antigens, if they wanted to they can add additional antigens that are targeted for PC, but it doesn't seem to matter as even using the 5 antigens that they are for PC, they are still getting epitope spreading even without optimization.
If warrants holders sold their shares and shorted at about $6, that was pre 2019 when there were only 1 million short and plenty of shares available (4 million), so their interest would be like the standard 3 1/2%.
Zacks is more leaned toward fundamentals, earnings, revenue, etc, and MRKR has none.
A downgrade from Zacks means nothing.
I hope everything you said comes true.
Jeff, with your great investment in MRKR, I think pretty soon, Amazon will become more and more palatable to you.
I did the same mistake with Qualcomm.
First it was Yeah, I made a quick 80%.
Then it was DAMN, I wish I didn't sell for that stupid 80%.
Really Agree. Oh My, what's if it bad news.
If PC data is the only bad news, the rest of the pipeline is still undervalued RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW.
The problem is … Wall Street doesn't care what me or you say.
Article from sickeconomics:
July 20, 2019. Marker Therapeutics (MRKR). Phase 1/2 Trial Presentation, Pancreatic Cancer.
On July 20, 2019 Marker’s investigators from Baylor College of Medicine will deliver a presentation at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research’s (AACR) conference. Thus far Marker is touting impressive results in hematological cancers with its multi-antigen, tumor-specific T-cell therapies (MultiTAA). This presentation will give us a first peek at Marker’s progress in pancreatic cancer where new treatment options continue to be desperately needed. Marker’s technology promises to be a simpler, cheaper alternative to the highly publicized, but extremely complicated and costly CAR-T therapies.

CHECK OUT recent biotech IPO's:
PVVL - everything PRE-clinical - 400 Million
STOK - everything PRE-clinical - 820 Million
NO, we're not undervalued at all.
I waited for years for private companies to go public,
JUNO (CAR-T)
EDIT (CRISPR)
MRNA (MRNA) (messenger RNA)
Look at their valuations/buyouts and their pipeline.
NO, we're not undervalued at all.
Jeff, First I will answer your question.
NO, absolutely NOT, I do not think PC data will be disappointing.
WHY the press conference 2 days later if it was? Makes no sense.
NOW … PPHM , my BIGGEST LOST EVER. Yeah, I remember, "the biotech that laid the golden egg".
"The $200 million shelf telegraphs the pancreatic results are going to be great." That is what makes sense to me.
"I believe the stock will be halted on July 22nd or July 23 after the ceo speaks." Now that's weird because I have been thinking that myself for a week now.
Ever since the "Flash Crash" in 2010, I have seen this STUPID new rule halt biotechs Many Times.
"The fake meat company". Please don't mention The fake meat company, it pisses me off every time I think about their valuation versus MRKR.
"This is still, IMO, the only logical explanation for almost 5M shares being short."
And also all the big longs who are hedging using both options and shorts...If that were not the case, we would have seen massive covering by now.
Listen, unlike me, there are a group of investors (who may be smarter than me), who are NOT trying to squeeze every penny out of an investment.
They would rather go for the sure, guaranteed "Lesser" profit, and hedge.
That's all this is - I think (but not clearly all the time).
I understand what you're saying, but I think a single or a double would still be great news being that PC is so hard to treat.
Honestly, is we get a double, I don't think that NEA or Baker Brother or me or Phantom or most will panic and sell.
"stellar" … Like Phantom said, the bar for PC is SO LOW, almost anything that does not suck, would be close to stellar.
If you can save 20% or 10% or 2% of PC patients, I agree with you, that would not be bad or disappointing or "Not Stellar".
OK, "The Risk", what if it's BAD NEWS.
THEN NOBODY WITH A BRAIN THAT WORKS WOULD CALL A PRESS CONFERANCE TWO DAYS AFTER GIVING BAD NEWS TO TALK ABOUT THE BAD NEWS AGAIN.
WHO WOULD DO THAT?
Great post, Well Said.
I think realistically, the risk is not great as Pancreatic cancer is not their forefront and have other irons in the fire. YES, solid tumor effectiveness would be GREAT.
A complete fail on July 20, we may go down to $6, but with data by the end of the year, should be right back where we are.
Moving 20% to other should be a good move (I HOPE).
What I'm thinking is … IF July 20/23 is good, I was going to move some out of there and put more into AVXL + IOVA.
Hi Attila, When I read "If someone needs to sleep all they have to do is to read this board or look at a 12 month chart of AVXL" … I laughed a good one.
Thanks, with all the stress waiting on MRKR July 20 and nervousness being in so deep, I NEEDED a good laugh.
But for AVXL, when is their next catalyst?
I read this and that and this week and next week … but are there any actual dates?
Interesting times, the new management making key acquisitions one after the other. Their plan for the future makes sense to me.
Risk versus Reward.
OK, Nice Close, and tomorrows Friday, oh boy, what will happen on Friday close? up or down? greed or fear? greed and buy for more profits or fear of the big bad weekend and sell?
I am so far into the greed camp, my feet are on fire cause I'm standing in the campfire.
Anybody got any marshmallows?
Not crazy about the light volume today. Next week would love to see a steady climb on about 2 million shares a day.
At least the good news is, so far, every time it goes down, buyers are moving it back up.
OK Eagle1, Dipped my toe in the water, just bought August $10 calls, 50 contracts at $0.90.
Depending on share price versus option ask price, will buy more before the 20th.
Exactly TRUE, if MRKR science works as planned, it will just be a temporary blib along the long road higher.
That's the ol "Buy on the rumor, Sell on the news" routine.
Should not be a major factor with us (I think) for a couple of reasons.
All they can do to "sell" is sell stocks they own, as almost none are available to short, so the "selling" won't be exasperated by new shorts.
Any who do sell, for profit taking or "the charts" or "sell on the news" or the moon is in Libra or whatever crazy reason, I think there will be plenty of institutional buyers to pick those shares up and support the price (for the most part).
On a big jump up, there will always be sellers for profit taking, Hell (I'm not clicking sell"), BUT I will be placing trailing # staggered stop losses on about 1/3 of my shares.
GOOD LUCK, the clock is ticking down.
The thing is, with 5 million shares shorted, there are no more shares available for anybody to borrow to short after the news.
None of the major brokerages have MRKR shares available to short except a couple hundred thousand maybe, but that's nothing.
If that is their plan … to attack after the news, good plan except for one factor, they got no ammo left to fight with.
The only reasons that the shorts would NOT have gone done while the share price was going up, is if a large part of the 5 million shorts are shorted as a hedge (therefore not being bought to cover) or held by warrant holders who can cover with warrants and not buy on the open market.
I'll tell you, one way or the other, July 20th to the 23rd is going to be mighty interesting.
I hope in our direction.
GOOD LUCK
erg61, Howdy, You said "if it was you or I we would lose our tail".
If it was you or I … I think we'd be in jail for stock manipulation.
"Why else would the short sales be up as the price goes up".
Been asking that since mid June when the move started.
It is the opposite of what happens the vast majority of the time, price goes up, shorts go down, ????????
OK, the way my mind works, I like to go through the thinking process one step at a time.
Here's after reading your post:
#1, To pay 50% is crazy, why would they do that.
#2, Wait, do they (shorters) know something that I/we don't know.
#3, Wait, the question isn't if they know something I/we don't know, the question is do they know something that Peter Hoang or Juan Vera or Ann Leen doesn't know.
#4, NO, I don't see how that would be possible.
#5, SCREW SHORTERS.
#6, Type response to AntiMarv.
You are doing great with your investment as is.
Unless you got an extra million sitting in the bank, 19,000 shares is a hell of a commitment and will return to you a hell of a payoff.
GOOD LUCK
I find it very hard to believe that all these shorters are totally unaware of July 20th.
IF they ARE unaware, it kind of makes sense.
But with what's coming, I find no logic at all in shorting at this point.
Some people just do not care at all about fundamentals or trials or news.
All they look at is "charts", the only thing they care about is what the chart says, but charts do not factor in future FDA trial data, or for that matter, future anything.
Big Time Pain coming for them SOON, so don't say AntiMarv and me and MANY others on this board didn't warn you.
Shorters, you are playing with fire so don't complain when you get fried.
$8.96 to $8.60.
WTF
If you are shorting, STOP before you get your a$$ burned on 7-22.
If you are short, cover before you get your a$$ burned on 7-22.
If you are selling to take profit, WAIT until AFTER 7-23.
Why leave an extra bunch of $'s on the table.
Higher Lows and Higher Highs - just keep going - just like clockwork.
Terrible decisions/deals in history.
Boston trades Babe Ruth to Yankees.
Apple lets Microsoft own the operating system.
Microsoft lets Google buy Android.
Marker (with technology worth 10 billion) mergers with tiny Tapimmune worth (let's be generous) 50 million, and calls it equal.
Boy, in hindsight, did we TPIV owners luck out and get in on the ground floor.
The only people who lucked out more are the warrant holders.
Those warrants will take a small bite out of us and dilute a bit, but it is what it is.
Not complaining, the higher the price goes, the less the warrants will bother me.
When (IF) I wake up on July 23rd, what would be disappointing?
$12 is 1/6th of ALLO market cap (who's way behind MRKR).
$23 is 1/3rd ALLO.
$35 is 1/2 ALLO.
If MRKR did the IPO roadshow, the street would of gave it $25 or $35 on day one.
We are so absolutely ridiculously undervalued it's not funny.
All we need is one kick in the a$$ catalyst to wake up the investing world.
And when/if it gets to $23, that 1 billion market cap opens the doors to all the funds with a 1 billion dollar minimum.
Then what?
QUESTION: If they both had a 400 million market cap. what would YOU rather own, ALLO or MRKR?
MRKR is #47 on Ihub "breakout boards"
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/breakoutboards.aspx
I wonder what number we will be on July 23rd?
I wonder.
