Hello Birdluck,
I think that so many of us have been here for such a long time that we are tapped out and just waiting for some indication that things are about to move.
I am glad to hear that. Your presence has been sorely missed!
Thank you! It is good to be back with a quote that is accurate.
I hope that you will fill us in on the presentation! We could certainly use it!
I assume that this is something that management is looking into;

With so many of us underwater for so long, it is rather difficult to come to grips with the idea of taking profits!! I am sure it is a dilemma that many of us are looking forward to facing...
I find it surprising that will all the volume that the price is not continuing to rise. I am curious as to where the selling is coming from.
Just received an offer from my broker, Schwab, to loan out NWBO stock at the rate of 45%. Someone is getting pretty anxious to short this!
RK, this is extremely helpful. Do you think that we could get this posted to the NWBO site for reference? Thanks so much!
Yes, I think that you are correct. I remember onebiteonekill being rather omnipresent at one time.
Well, at least I was happy to see that they were asking rather than lending them out without my knowledge!
Has anyone else received a notice from their broker asking for permission to lend his NWBO stock? I thought this was somewhat unusual - you would think that in the .60's that people who want to short the stock would not have much room to go!! Obviously, I am not lending my NWBO stock to be shorted but I was wondering whether everyone else was being asked the same thing.
Thanks, TC, for all the insight that you bring to the board. Please keep it up! Yes, I do remember Summer Street from a while back.
Flipper, thank you for providing a voice of reason amidst the chaos. Those of us who are hanging on to our long positions by our fingernails very much appreciate your words of encouragement! Thank you for the support you give us.
I would hope that LP or LG would come out soon with some sort of acknowledgement of their confidence in the scientific premises of NWBO.
Steve, we are very relieved to hear that you are your wife are unharmed. Hopefully, Walter and Dutch will check in soon. Know that we all are familiar with the emotions that you must be going through and that you have all our sympathy and support.
What continues to confuse me is why we are not seeing widespread condemnation of this sort of violence from the moderate Muslim sector worldwide. So far, their voice has been silent.
Thanks Egidio, I guess that would be a powerful incentive to sell! It would have been nice if we all had had an opportunity to buy at that level.
I have to say that I am totally mystified by the price action here. I understand that there is a natural "sell the news" reaction but this seems far beyond that. Can anyone enlighten me?
NYC,
I can't imagine the pain that you and your family must be going through right now. As a parent myself, I know that there is no greater love than that of a parent for a child. God Bless and may He bring healing to all your family.
You have get-well wishes from all of the message board, I am sure. It is good to hear that your spirit is strong and that you can keep checking in here. Thank you, Pete Jr., for taking the trouble to keep us informed. All the best for a speedy recovery!
Thanks for sharing this with us - I personally hope that you will continue to post more frequently. Yours perspective is much appreciated.
Walter, I would like to add my voice to Gates in thanking you for your rational and measured responses. Those of us who have been quietly invested here for years very much appreciate the insight that you share with us. Sometimes I can't help but worry that my faith in this company is blind. Your encouragement is meaningful. Thank you for all that you contribute!
Thank you Paullee - this is very helpful. The "loyal shareholder base" is very grateful!!
I have to admit that I also took a position in NBS after he recommended it, and invested a good bit more than $250. I couldn't imagine that our long-time poster and researcher would mislead us. That was my folly!
Here is the listing from their website:

RK, I don't think anyone really thinks that you are Pyrr. Please just keep being the level-headed thinker that you have always been and don't let this get to you. We value your input!
Flipper,
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I have been invested in both ADXS and NWBO for about five years and they both have slowly emerged from obscurity! I thought that was an interesting comparison presented by "Justice and Equality" on the Yahoo message board but I thought that perhaps he didn't quite understand enough of the NWBO scenario to give it its due. I thought you might be the one to be able to unsnarl the tangles! Thanks for your input.
Flipper,
I would be interested in hearing your opinion of this post by "Justice and Equality" on the ADXS message board on Yahoo. He writes:
"In my rebuttal to Pearson, I described how ADXS's LmLLO does multiple things. LmLLO achieves what DC vaccines do in-situ --- yet does NOT require leukapheresis (extraction) of patient's White Blood Cells.
Autologous DC vaccines (like NWBO, PBMD) require the patient to be hooked up to a leukapheresis machine to extract white cells. These are filtered for DCs. These DCs are "taught" in the lab to recognize a target antigen. In the case of PBMD, it is Mucin-1. In the case of NWBO, surgical removal of the tumor is needed. Part of the tumor is processed and used to train the DCs.
LmLLO is superior to DC vaccines. LmLLO addresses multiple aspects of the complex immune system, including:
1) Supplying "danger signals" (PAMP) to strongly activate the entire immune system - both innate and adaptive arms
2) Softening the highly immunosuppressive TME (tumor micro-environment) to allow immune cells to infiltrate.
LmLLO is MUCH easier make, administer, scale worldwide (no need complex leukapheresis, shipping, lab processing of the patient's white cells), YET it is more "powerful" in efficacy.
I have written on more than one occasion that vaccines in general (including DC vaccines) tend to have "mild" efficacy. It is rare for a vaccine to demonstrate shrinkage of established tumors, let alone COMPLETE regression. Our India trial got GOG excited because it achieved many PRs and some CRs by itself.
In contrast, NWBO and PBMD are administered WITH surgery. Cutting out the main tumor + DC vaccine to wipe out remnant microscopic cells improves overall survival.
Now, LmLLO is being pushed to earlier line. It will likely extend overall survival to a much greater degree than a DC vaccine."
I am sure that many of us would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the comparisons. With many thanks in advance for all the hard work that you put into this message board.
Saw this article posted today by the Daily Mail: It certainly can't hurt!

This paragraph from the 10-K struck me:
"We expected our initial prototype amplitude modulator to be completed by the end of the second quarter 2010. We continued to work on this device throughout 2010 and discovered its design had limitations so we terminated the program to take a different design approach. We embarked on the new design approach in 2011 with another partner, Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS). A feasibility study with our new design partner was started in late 2011. This research and development program continued through 2013, and was completed the end of the third quarter of 2013. The results of this study gave us a guide on how to move forward with the design of our prototype spatial light modulator. The second phase of the program is under review and we expected to start the second phase sometime the second half of 2014; but funding for phase two of this program was delayed. We hope to reengage our work on this program in 2015 after funding is approved."
Do you think that they were hoping with the share vote last summer to get the funding for this project last fall? Do you think that this is what the May meeting will be about - the funding for this project?
The interest rate that they quoted was 13%. Much as I would enjoy having the interest, I would not like to participate in increasing the downward pressure on the stock price.
My understanding is that there is no limitation on selling the shares if I should want to. I am not going to lend them out just because I do not want to increase the negative pressure on the stock. It is the one thing that I can do to hold firm!
Just got another solicitation from Schwab asking if I would like to loan out my NWBO shares. Someone seems quite interested in shorting this.
Do you think anyone from LWLG is planning to attend OFC later this month?
Sorry, Red, to hear about your problem. Kids have a way of providing opportunities to worry not matter what their age! But if he is anything like his parent, he will not let this keep him down long. Best wishes!
Yes, I received a similar offer from Schwab for my NWBO shares.
Any suggestion about who to contact?
I sincerely hope that you will reconsider. There are so many of us who post rarely but who very much appreciate the insightful thought and comments that you present. It is upsetting to see that we are losing our most reliable and knowledgeable posters. With great appreciation for all that you have contributed and hopes that you will stick with us!
Yes, I remember seeing that Gabelli was listed as an investor.
