Why the personnel attacks? WTF does this have to do with NWBO?
Do you remember the shares you and others bought just a couple of weeks ago in the 2's? Remember how you thought it was too good of a price to pass up? More money down the drain. Now you need a 50% spike from here just to break even. Never going to happen.
I told you where the price was going. I told you they would be raising capital right before they did. I've said that we will see a reverse split soon. I'll remind you of it when it happens. It's just what they do. Every few years. Rinse and repeat. Look at a 10 yr. chart and tell me what you see. Almost time for the next round of sucke I mean investors to show up.
Personally, I think NW is going to shut it down this time around. I'm ready to get it over with. The sooner the better. Some folks need to be taught a lesson.
If you knew what profession I was in it probably wouldn't seem so ironic. But it makes no difference to me.
Still waiting for you to reply about the shelf expansion. It was probably just for the heck of it, right? I'm sure there's plenty of room left in that 150m. Better to just brush it under the rug and avoid further discussion. Even better, let's just go with the claim that a friend of a friend of a long distant relative of Les who said the MFN isn't anything to be concerned about with regard to the last couple of raises..
Hope you are buying more shares. At these prices you should really load up. Do whatever you can to add..
Hello everyone. Just wanted to give you a quick status update. The Direct Phase 2 trial that was supposed to start "soon" in 2014, and that 10's upon 10's of millions of dollars in capital raises have been purportedly conducted to "ramp up" for, is still in limbo.
I am here to let you know that there hasn't been any progress reported on anything even though over 50 million dollars has been raised over the last 6 months and despite the fact that we were told that 2016 would be a bustle of activity.
And I'm here to tell you one last thing. Stay tuned! Wink wink..
So just to recap. You think that the investigators will review the confidential sections of the Cognate agreements, and report to the public any potential issues in these agreements. Even though in doing so they would have to describe the details and the "issues" related to all of the information that NWBO has specifically requested (and been granted) confidential protection on?
I'm not sure you understand how a financial investigation works.
If the lawyers conducting the investigation were to review the confidential agreements with Cognate and determine that they were heavily skewed to the benefit of Cognate, do you have think they could just turn a blind eye when it comes time to release the final report to the general public and say everything looks fine and dandy...no problems here. All of the Phase Five allegations were baseless.
Have you forgotten that Phase Five specifically mentions the Cognate relationship as a major red flag? The report should address those allegations, but how could they conduct a thorough review when the pertinent details have all been redacted from scrutiny?
Who do you think could be held liable if it became known that there were glaring conflicts of interest that they didn't report and instead portrayed that everything was fine?
I don't have to look very far or stretch things at all to find problems. This company is wrought with them. Everywhere you look. It is literally being run into the ground right in front of our eyes. Only people with their heads buried in the sand can't see it for what it is.
Keep hoping and praying.
How could they include anything in their report concerning the nature of these confidential provisions? What if something was out of place? They would have to report it and describe the issue. You think it is purely a coincidence that this ruling was made public in the middle of the investigation? Sorry, but I think you are mistaken.
I knew they had applied for the confidentiality provisions per the earlier filings, but I didn't know if the request had been granted. I had hoped the investigators would be able to peek under the hood of everything, including the Cognate agreements, to determine if this really is nothing more than a financial vehicle as the Phase five report implied. I suspected they wouldn't be allowed to review them, but one can always hope.
Flipper, you speculated recently that one hypothetical reason for the current halt may be that they are going back through all of the patient scans using the most current evaluation techniques. This would be done to retrospectivly confirm things like pseduo progression, immune response, true progression, etc.
Question. If the PFS for the treatment group were a home run like many longs constantly postulate, why would this be necessary? Thanks
Yes. It was the only way they would even touch this garbage.
The extra free warrants equal extra shares shorted. It's how toxic financing works. But don't worry. Linda expects huge positive news soon. According to some here, they acually have a lot of money. She was just topping off the coffers for the heck of it at $1.70 with warrants out the wazoo. In all fairness, she will soon look like a genius for getting another 10m out of this at $1.70.
I'm lowering my projections for the next financing to 10 million shares at $1 with 2 for 1 warrant coverage. Should happen within the next few weeks. These will probably happen more frequently as things wind down. GL
Surprise surprise. The single biggest concern that could be put to bed with the ongoing investigation will not even be subject to the investigation. How convenient. Did you all expect anything different?
Oh beware the Ides of March. Stay tuned!!
Relentless. Hard to place a value on NWBO to determine what a good price is. $1.50, $1, $.50?
UCLA doesn't want to talk about it because they are afraid certain bloggers will turn good news into bad news.
Who is dumping hundreds of thousands of shares day after day. Who even owns that much to sell?
Whenever I think a bottom may be forming, we dip to a lower level. I wish I was just starting my accumulation at these levels and could average down as it goes lower. Trying to make the best of a bad situation with regard to my holdings. How much further down do you expect this to drop without news. Are we talking sub $1?
How about Seeing Red Again by Chevelle. Seems appropriate with the stock down another 8%. That good news is coming any day though. Or maybe the news that will explain the current action of the stock price in retrospect. Who knows..
It is a thought and it was one of the first things that crossed my mind back in December when we got an early Christmas present. One can hope, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Completely bogus, but don't worry, I'm here to correct misinformation. NW made his first investment in NWBO in 2014 after AF's negative articles and the Buzdar incident. NW continued to invest and helped increase the value of NWBO to nearly 1 billion dollar in market cap in 2015. AF's articles had no effect during this time. The argument that the silence is in our best interest is total caca. It was the worst possible move that could have been made and the current price is glaring evidence of this.
The idea that Linda had to give Cognate shares valued at $4 when the market price was in the double digits is nonsense. She pays Cognate in shares when the market price is over $4 and in cash when the SP is under $4? Funny how that works isn't it? But it's all in our best interest, it's the only possible way it can be done. She can't trust any other cell manufacture with the technology. And all of the other usual excuses.
We'll see what the investigators have to say about that. Just remember who's paying the investigators when you read the final report.
Yes Senti, I meant 100 + at least 49 from the treatment group. Maybe the efficacy analysis occurs after more than 149 events? Maybe it occurs at the 2nd IA.
As I've said many times before, I invested because of the potential of the science. I invested quite a lot more after NW stated backing the company. I thought there was a good chance that having NW on their side would get them to the finish line. I was shocked that they blew through 100 million dollars in one year without even starting the Phase 2 trial for Direct.
And the fact that they haven't said a peep about anything while all of us believers have been taken through the ringer is completely unacceptable. Maybe my frustration seems misguided to you. But I've never been screwed so bad in my life by a public company.
I truly feel like I've been duped by Linda Powers and Les Goldman. All of the stated timelines and "stay tuned" comments really had me convinced that they were actually going to push forward to the finish line. Instead, I feel like they are doing everything under the sun to delay this trial as long as possible under a veil of secrecy.
I refuse to just sell and walk away. I will see this through to the end and then determine my legal options if necessary. The sad thing is that there's a good chance it's all been completely legal. We probably just all got screwed big time and have no recourse.
The extent of the dilution to all of us while LP protects her ownership at our expense should be illegal, but it isn't.
Good point.
I am watching this stock waiting for news just like you. I am posting on this message board while I wait just like you. I am skeptical that there are some here promoting the stock to unsuspecting retail investors. I don't care for that. I think it's wrong and I will continue to correct misinformation and provide caution whenever I see folks talking about buying more shares, or options, or how this is a certain home run, a $100 stock, etc. Would you prefer I bury my head in the sand and pump pump pump it up??
Okay, but with 300 + enrolled, they should have still had enough events from the control group to hit the 149 last year. I still find it hard to think LL was referring to the 1st IA in her "pre determined number of events" comment.
Didn't LL indicate tumor return in 6 mo. to a year? Wouldn't this be considered progression?
Not sure I follow. The naked shorts may be entirely different entities than the 12m legit shorts.
Maybe AF could settle this for us since he claims to know who financed and that "it isn't because they like DCVAX".
And how would you know if naked shorts were covering?
Except that some of the most vocal negative views are from "longs" who are po'd about losing 90% of their investment and nwbo management using the silent treatment to extend a middle finger. And how does that fit into your nafarious theory?
I don't think this is solid evidence it wasn't a short interest that purchased the shares. But believe whatever makes you happy.
It would be interesting to know who dumped the 500,000 warrants just a couple of days before the last capital raise at a 20% discount.. SEC, where are you??
I think this has already been posted, but it is worth reading again.
A new cancer treatment that could help kill off many kinds of cancer will also keep people safe through their whole lives.
Scientists have revealed that they are working on a treatment that could act like a vaccine for cancer, vastly improving the way the body can fight tumours.
The discovery is part of work on t-cells, which involves editing the genes of the protective parts of the body so that they can better spot and fight cancer.
Lead researcher Professor Chiara Bonini, from the University of Milan in Italy, said: "T-cells are a living drug, and in particular they have the potential to persist in our body for our whole lives.
"Some of these memory T-cells will persist through the entire life of the organism ... Imagine translating this to cancer immunotherapy, to have memory T-cells that remember the cancer and are ready for it when it comes back."
For such an approach to work, the memory T-cells would have to be primed by genetic modification to attack the target cancer.
But the first step is to single out those cells with the ability to persist for a long time.
Prof Bonini's team studied 10 cancer patients who underwent bone marrow transplants and were infused with T-cells that were tagged so they could be tracked.
The research was described at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) taking place in Washington DC.
Commenting on the study, British immunologist Professor Daniel Davis, from the University of Manchester, said: "These T-cells, the stem memory T-cells first identified in 2011, have stem cell-like properties and are thought to be important for long-lived immune responses.
"The implication is that infusing genetically modified versions of these particular T-cells ... could provide a long-lasting immune response against a person's cancer.
"Immunotherapy has great potential to revolutionise cancer treatment and this study shows which type of T-cells might be especially useful to manipulate for long-lasting protection."
TC,
Have you had a chance to review the S3 expansion issue in the last prospectus? I think this may be the most detrimental issue currently on the radar for retail investors. If a warrant issue to Cognate under the MFN has already required an increase to the original $150M shelf, we are talking about a massive dilution to all shareholders (except LP) as a result of the last two raises. Thanks!
Why don't you entertain us Bill. Please explain why the 12 million raised in December only lasted 2 months when one of NWBO's trial is on hold and the other has been in the planning stages for almost 2 years. Thanks!
$1.49. Who would have guessed? I want to see some posts today from folks who are taking advantage of yet another clearance sale event.
Does everyone have a better understanding yet of what happens when you engage in toxic financing? LP is very aware of the consequences of toxic financing. I am starting to believe the last two raises were done deliberately for several reasons.
Any thoughts as to why LP elected to dilute the shareholders so drastically at such low prices? Looks like I am right on track again with my prediction for the next financing to be done in the $1.2 range right before the reverse split.
After its lead product failure, CLDX is now down the same percentage as NWBO.
"$100 a share which is highly likely if L gets approved"
So basically you have no concept of share price as it relates to market cap? There was a time when $30 a share with approval was possible. That time has come and gone IMO. I don't believe you will ever break even with your 2007 shares. The magic of dilution. You and I get diluted to shift and LP maintains her level of shares through MFN. Genius on her part really. If they are sitting on a breakthrough technology, our money is building a debt free empire. We will be lucky to get back pennies on the dollar. Most here don't realize that.
I was hoping it meant I would feel better about my investment here in 3-5 days.
Baseless bashing or fact?
2007: 1 for 15 reverse split
2012: 1 for 16 reverse split
Question. How much would $1,000 invested in 2006 be worth today? Do you think the folks investing back then were as convinced of nwbo's success as you are today?
I know it's crazy huh! The idea that a long term investor would hold onto his stock expecting NWBO management to; quickly refute the Phase 5 report; work to maintain a solid relationship with the only large investor to take a huge financial risk supporting them; work like hell to defend the company; and follow through with status updates regarding iniatives they promised would start soon two autumns ago. Crazy that anyone would actually think that would happen. What a naïve idiot!!
