SF Anony, that was probably the best worded and well thought out responses I've read today post-FDA statement.
Others have alluded to basically the same thing but I really like not just what but how you stated that. In case anyone missed it, this is basically what was stated:
1. Nothing has changed today.
2. There was nothing new in what the FDA stated.
3. Probably pushing back against the groundswell of public uproar re: lack of LL approval. (I think the FDA knows they have egg on their face and will eventually face a very angry public as well as some angry politicians who represent their angry constituents.)
4. FDA laying their groundwork for a near-future public response after another country eventually approves Leronlimab.
5. PPS tanked simply because some people panicked and the MM's/Shorts took advantage.
This was all just one more bump in the long road to Leronlimab's eventual approval and use around the world and the many lives that will be saved.
bluefish1, you stated:
Black-Ops, as usual, good post. I would like to add one additional consideration though. I've often heard that "for every seller there is a buyer" quote. For the most part, that's true. Where it begins to break down though is when the "seller" is selling shares that isn't theirs to sell. It's assumed, by most, that the 'selling' side of the trade is from a legit shareholder rather than air shares being sold into buyer's hands. So, it's possible that all or part of what was 'sold' today was from a short or naked short. I have no way to prove that just as another can't prove it's not true unless they themselves were the person who sold those shares.
Yep, close to 750,000,000 shares decided to hold their position while a few more added to their positions.
I might also say 'good luck big pharma' but that would be completely disingenuous of me to do so. :)
I do, however, tip my had to Nobody today.
Learning53, excellent work on compiling all of this together. Thank you for sharing!
(Edited: I see you already posted the correction. Sorry about the repeated message.)
BBNCT, this may have already been posted but later in that discussion thread, the original poster unfortunately came back and said she'd received a communication stating that, in fact, the extension has not been confirmed. She wasn't able to delete or edit her original post.
Isn't it typically true of person who is trying to flip the stock to post "up" comments for awhile, followed by "down" comments the next? Me thinks that may be the basis for such an opinion.
I think many of us actually DID understand that this was simply a change in status of intent to sell to a formalized agreement. Though, perhaps a few may have chosen to only skim the news rather than attempt to fully understand it? I'm pretty sure ALL will understand once sales are finally announced, resulting in a wide variation in emotions. That time, in my opinion, is imminent.
$1200 was I recall reading as well but was that intended to be a full retail price? Are we supplying that to Chiral or even Biomm for a wholesale amount? Or, is that $1200 in the company's bank account for every vial and then then entities like Chiral of the Philippines and Biomm of Brazil mark it up as the middle man? Not sure but either way, it means two very important things. First, people are going to be saved! Second, CYDY's valuation is going to jump significantly and it's only the beginning.
Go Leronlimab/Vyrologix and GO CYDY!
Dieselpro, I particularly enjoyed reading this: "...Upon quick recovery of the first Filipino patient critically ill with COVID-19 treated with leronlimab, Chiral is continuously receiving CSP requests and is hoping to accelerate the availability of leronlimab under CSP to thousands of critically ill COVID-19 patients. In parallel, we are using data generated from our CD12 open-label extension to pursue EUAs in multiple countries experiencing surges in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The Company will accelerate manufacturing of leronlimab at Samsung BioLogics upon such approval."
It'll be wonderful to watch the other countries follow suit once they realize the effectiveness (not to mention safety) of Leronlimab and what it's been doing in the Philippines as it plays out in the news. Once that first domino falls I wouldn't want to be standing in the way....ouch.
To echo Misiu's quote of BlackOps
Sleep well shorts
[edited] KCRoyal2004, to add to your assessment about "preaching to the choir," not only are we doing that, but in doing so it's undermining confidence, thereby artificially devaluing the share price. For the life of me, I can't understand the need to continually preach to the choir and to the detriment of ones own share price. Another unintended consequence of this is when a new person comes along and reads all the bellyaching they quickly move on to greener pastures without taking the time to understand what's really going on and learn about the value of our product. I have one person who I've been talking to for some time who still hasn't pulled the trigger because all she can focus on is the arguments and the lack of confidence in management by so many folks. She just doesn't see the value yet because of all the noise. I'm sure the makes some happy but not me.
Although, I think that this isn't necessarily the intent of any given person who speaks out against NP, it's certainly a tactic that can and IS used, and with some degree of effect.
Fortunately, there is a LARGE enough base of people who understand the science and the potential this drug has to save so many lives, globally. They also understand the potential for creating generational wealth. I believe (opinion) we are in no danger of completely crashing due to this underlying understanding. This large base of folks who understand and who have deep enough pockets to accumulate, are propping up the price. Efforts to drive the price way down are met with resistance from these supporters who understand and who are wisely accumulating for their future.
Learning53 & Misiu, the posts to which you referenced from Misiu are 137314 & 137326:

Quercetin 1000 mg
zinc 50 mg
Vit C 2000-3000 U
Vit D3 5000 U
Thamine 100 mg, twice a day.
Coenzyme Q10,, 100 mg
N-Acetyl Cysteine ( NAC ) 600 mg..

I agree, in that I wouldn't mind if the entire lot is sold outside of our country but that's still a shame that Americans don't yet have access to it or won't have access to the existing supply. If eventually EUA'd or fully approved then they will have to wait for the supply start being generated again. Granted, doesn't sound like that'll take long but every day waiting means more people suffering and dying. Praying the 28 walk out. Maybe the name of a new movement, movie and/or book: 28 Walk...or rather 29 Walk when you add the first guy who walked.
As much as I would LOVE that to be true, I'm not sure if by the mere fact that it happens to be ex-President Estrada, is going to be enough to move the US FDA needle. Granted, he may be a VIP but I just don't know if THAT is the kind of thing to make them take notice? Hope I'm wrong there. What I do know is that it certainly can't hurt, that along with the one other person who walked out of the hospital. Now, the next 27 or so beyond Estrada, assuming they too walk out or at least 82% or hopefully better, walk out too, then the pressure will increase substantially on the FDA. We just don't know their 'pain point.' Do they even have one? Let's hope so. Either way, the USFDA isn't the only game out there but, unfortunately, many Americans will needlessly suffer/die if they don't step up and do the right thing.
Thanks to you and Jburke4762 for those confirmations. Much appreciated. Looking forward to hearing more about this, hopefully by way of a press release.
Well, Misiu independently confirmed.
Wow, that's amazing, 109% borrow fee. Glad I'm not in the practice of shorting, especially CYDY. Ouch! Of course this doesn't really affect those MMs who willingly and illegally naked short.
This isn't directed at you BBNCT, I'm just addressing the issue.
Speaking of 'willingly' for a moment. From what I've learned over time, and perhaps BlackOps can correct me here if I'm wrong, but sometimes the naked shorts get trapped by their own hubris.
Think of it like a pressure cooker. If someone is short but there are legit, strong catalysts being cooked, then things begin to heat up creating pent up pressure. The longer the cooking, the more catalysts, or heat, is generated, the higher the pressure and thus the extreme need to keep the lid on. Let's say the lid were suddenly allowed to be removed without any natural cooling down. What would happen? If anyone here has ever experienced the pre-mature removal of a pressure cooker lid or the unexpected failure of the seal then they will be able to attest to the extreme explosion that takes place. I know someone who recently experienced that and he is most likely reading this.
The shorts, if they take the lid off and allow the pressure to have its way, they are in trouble. The hotter the catalysts, the higher the need to keep the lid on. Also, the more catalysts, the less time needed to cook. We're currently seeing more and more heat being applied as more countries are taking notice, more trials being conducted, more positive results being achieved, deals getting signed, sales starting to trickle in (first order of 28 come to mind), more articles being written and distributed, more demand and limited supply, etc. Seems the time for the inevitable explosion upward is drawing nigh.
Oh, and as a great side benefit of pressure cooking is that toxins (think Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), are eliminated. Once it's done cooking, it's dinner time and everyone can enjoy.
SF Anony, great post, very informative.
BlackOps, thanks for taking the time to once again put that out there. You do a far better job of explaining than I ever could and you certainly have the working experience in the field to which I have none.
Being influenced by artificial violent price swings due to MM shorting is probably, at least for me, one of the most difficult aspects of trading as well as, sometimes, investing that I can think of. Even knowing what's happening while it's happening can still, at least for me, cause a raising of my blood pressure, anxiety, uncertainty and doubt. Then I always go back to my (in part thanks to you BO) Big Picture. I understand the fundamentals of that in which I'm invested. In CYDY's particular case, I don't just understand the fundamentals but I am actually excited about the prospect of the life changing potential this drug has and am happy with the fact that it is so completely safe. I know exactly why I'm invested and I have goals.
The daily price fluctuations, although occasionally/rarely troublesome to my mental state of mind, do not cause me to want to actually jump ship. I have a high degree of confidence in the outcome and have zero reservations, in spite of any opinions to the contrary.
greendays, although I do agree with the basic premise of your post, you are missing one very important factor that has been repeatedly addressed on here by myself and BlackOps and I'm sure a few others as well.
Although there may be no shares to borrow, that doesn't stop certain entities from illegal naked shorting. I'm not going to go into what that is AGAIN in detail but if you're interested, you can easily search the web and you'll find plenty of information on what that is and how it basically serves to act as a printing press for an unlimited number of shares that can be put up for sale that were not located for borrowing purposes.
The inability of certain shorts to locate shares to borrow may be enough to prevent them from shorting but that doesn't impact those who are willing to illegally naked short.
If only that's what would stop shorts. Unfortunately, there's this pesky thing known as illegal naked shorting, which doesn't require the borrowing of shares to actually work.
Yeah, that potential 2nd life saving event probably isn't important, right? What does it matter if another person might be saved by another LL injection? SMH
Do you really think that's the only thing that might be mentioned? Or, could it just be yet another piece of the puzzle? Or, could it simply be more hypothecating? I, for one, am certainly not complaining.
On second thought...eh, nevermind.
I won't argue ClayTrader's motives and whether he's involved with the shorts as I haven't bothered to study this guy. However, you said "I think a fair amount of buying this past week could've been shorts loading up for such an event" and that, in my understanding of how shorting works, is incorrect. Shorts don't load up to short. If a short seller is long in a stock then by very definition, they aren't short. If they sell shares they own after a run up, that's simply selling shares they own for a profit. If they don't 'load up before a short attack' and simply wait for the attack to start and then they sell short, then that is a short move. They, by definition, are selling shares they don't own, thus shorting. So, there's no "loading up" in order to short.
Also, you stated that you believe "there's going to be a concerted effort to push the stock down first thing in the morning in an attempt to cover and accumulate." When you are short, yes, you will in all likelihood need to cover. While covering, you are not accumulating as the buying you're doing isn't adding to your stores of shares. At that point, the person shorting is finally paying for the shares sold that weren't yet owned. If they short 1,000 shares their share balance is -1,000 shares. Let's say they buy back 200 of those shares. Their new share balances is now -800 and so on until their obligation is met when their share balance reaches zero. At that point, if they wish to accumulate shares then they may do so.
One could make the argument that by buying a bunch of shares and riding a stock up to an inevitable peak and then selling all those shares for a profit in a concerted effort (read market manipulation) with others who intend to sell all at once to give the initial downward push, could start the downward momentum. This would then show a 'sign of weakness' wherein they would, after selling ALL those accumulated shares, continue selling what they no longer own. Of course, that'll be hard to do if they were already short as they would be forced to first cover those shorted shares before they could ever begin to "load up".
In a stock that's in a weakened state and whose fundamentals aren't solid with many catalysts at play, this strategy might be effective; however, Cytodyn isn't that kind of company now. Cytodyn's Leronlimab is proving to be a game changer and the world is starting to realize that. People are beginning to see the value of this drug, not only to the salvation of the population but also the financial value. This is why, in my opinion, there has been a run up and will continue to be a run up. When a pre-revenue biotech company finally is no longer in the pre-revenue stage but in the revenue stage, everything changes. This is especially true when that biotech company has a product that is SAFE, effective and can change the world by saving countless lives. I would hate to be short this stock and get caught holding a bag full of IOUs when the price begins to REALLY move up.
MelsDollars, ClayTrader is an actual guy. You can see his free videos on YouTube but he also has training videos for a fee. It's how he makes a living. Just thought I'd share that so 'ya know.
Misiu, I completely understand and sympathize with what you're saying and why you're saying it. But, consider that a 'thing' is true until it isn't. In other words, just because the past performance of the FDA re: Leronlimab is one thing doesn't mean it will always be that way. Given the new data we've received and by considering everything in play right now, COULD it be possible that the FDA sees the writing on the wall with respect to other countries' interest in Leronlimab and perhaps could it be possible that they and Fauci may wish to avoid bad press and embarrassment by not acting now? Also, consider that normalcy bias could shade your outlook on FDA EUA authorization or even full approval? Again, I know where your heart is and why you feel like you do. You may even be right, which for the citizens of the US, I hope you're not right.
Yeah, and we missed the gap fill by 2 cents. It was interesting to see that 13k sell order drop the ask from 4.02 to 3.98 right before the close keeping the lid on the closing price below $4. Desperation attempt if you ask me. I have little doubt we'll fill the gap in the morning as we continue marching slowly but steadily back up to a more 'normalized' area based on the fundamentals as they currently exist.
As for tomorrow's CC and the pity party song that is often sung when NP does one of these, all I can say is that he seems to be learning and not repeating as many mistakes. I expect the trend of good news to continue without any 'gotchas' to worry about. I think he's listening to counsel. I also believe that any attempt to capitalize on the simple fact that he's holding a CC, in order to drive the price down, will be virtually ineffective and without commitment as I'm fairly certain that any legit/solid news will take center stage more than the personality commentary, just as we've been seeing with the recent press releases.
Looks like we're going to fill the gap that occurred at open on March 8th from the previous day's close of $4.05. That's gotta hurt those who bet against it that day and every day since.
LOL Wolfy, you and me both!! I can hear Englebert singing "Please dilute me, let me go" up up up
It must be painful to those who bet against CYDY to watch their gains quickly disappear. In fact, I would imagine that by now some have probably already received margin calls? Ouch but I'm glad to be on the green side of the fence.
You are exactly right bwolfy. I understood that fully but wanted to point out the error made in the use of the word "hopefully" but you've done an even better job by pointing out what the real potential is better than I.
I think you're right about that and will surprised if he isn't.
I believe the patient who was treated was discharged on April 3rd. The article referenced was dated April 4th.
Why did you change the word potentially to hopefully? You do know that there is a difference between those two words, right?
Okay, thank you Misiu.
Calling on those who have knowledge re: breast cancer as relating to Leronlimab. I have a very dear and close friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She's a nurse and is very mainstream in her approach to medicine. She's planning on going the conventional route to treatment, including surgery. I'm trying to put together some links for her to help her with choices/options. I am hoping there might be a way to get her information on possibly inquiring re: a Leronlimab trial. Any help or information would be extremely appreciated.
Misiu, thank you for sharing that. Great information on Ivermectin. I can't help but think that combining Leronlimab, Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine in conjunction with Vit D, Vit C, L-Lysine, Zinc, etc. would be highly effective in fighting Covid as a cocktail.
I'm generally not a big fan of the FDA and maybe my dislike is partially unfounded but I tend to think not. However, having said that, I do agree with your points. I THINK that during this pandemic, attitudes and actions may very well prove to be for the better. This situation affects way too many people and the folks making decisions are (I think) human and have probably been impacted either directly or indirectly by this virus. Everyone has been affected socially and probably in ways that aren't even yet fully realized. I have the feeling that, for now, some of the normal biases may be at least partly set aside for the betterment of all. Perhaps that's just me being naive and wanting to get this drug out there and saving people? I hope that's not what I'm feeling and that for ONCE, the FDA is actually going to do the right thing here, regardless of BP pressure.
BP is still going to need the FDA long after Leronlimab is approved and changing lives. So, sure maybe BP gets its knickers in a bunch and is angry with the FDA for awhile....so what? What are they gonna do about it? The fact remains, BP still needs the FDA to play ball long term. Leronlimab, as financially detrimental as it may be for BP, is still only going to be a bump in the road for them long term.
Meanwhile, political and social pressures are mounting against the FDA and they want a win. Again, maybe that's just magical thinking/wishing. But, I think you're absolutely spot on and that we will see EUA and ultimate full approval. Granted, maybe not until other countries add to the pressure by granting approval first.

And wouldn't 'ya know, April 1st, we closed at 3.19!!
It was good to see that video again. It was put out one year ago today. I wonder if Dr Marc Siegel has been on any other interviews/videos more recently or if he's aware of the newest developments.
If this video has already been posted, I apologize but in case it hasn't been seen, this is from Dr. John Bream.
