CYGX BOARD.........The CYGX news is around the corner - the CYGX board is "cooking" mentally.
Tell me we don't have some great posters here who are contributing great insights in this area of science.
peace_2_all.........The "Super Detergent / Soap" for employees washing. Wonder what the financials are in this area. Even if it is quite high - it wouldn't take many cases of Sepsis and/or food poisoning to more than pay for it - the expensive Rx of same and possible legal implications in these cases. Great post!
Rick
downregul8..........your point on the use of CYGX Sepsis RX before the patient is sheer genius on your part (hope CYGX is picking up on this to file away - thinking outside the box and considering if it financially has merit). In anycase, this is the type of thinking and unique insights seldom found on other boards. Thanks!
Rick
Paulness.......wouldn't it funny if it were the last feeble shake out by MM's before ths Feb 20 2004 shut down of naked shorting. Don't know too much about how SEC is controling this prevention of naked shorts but will be watching closely.
Rick
Arnold........unbelieveable!!!!!! The
(M)onkey (M)onsters at their very worst. Love the last trade volume and price drop.
It could "signaling" between MM's. (?)
Naked Shorting stops Feb 20th - how? I don't know.
I suggest "summary judgement / execution.
mkwmike......excellent point you're giving. We are talking hours to days - maybe a week to developed post surgical.
Every case is different but in the "HOT INFECTIONS" you are really dealing with hours to maybe 2 days. It canbe so fast you can watch it spread!
So this my point of the need in RX to use it as soon as it's established effective and safe. We are well on that path now.
neo43..........great point!!! My wording and thought process are bad on this point. When I say far off - meaning FDA approval to use Dr Chen's Process as a preventative (i.e. pre-surgery, which is the only way to go) - got a bad feeling that while it could be used in RX of sepsis in say 2 years but that to use it preventively it would be more like a 3 to 5 year process - perhaps more? (but I could be very wrong timewise because of the severe increase of cases in the near future and this number, if I'm right about this happening, is going to increase greatly). The FDA still can't get over some their miracles of prevention of the 50's and to use something as a preventative is quite different than a RX in a severe issue like sepsis. Testing something used as a preventative is a large issue with the FDA. Just think if the FDA had to approve Aspirin today.
We still have the constant possibility of bacterial mutation but having said that - I'm now encouraged and very interested in this news from this Charlestown vascular (by-pass stuff) surgeon who is stating that only 10% of the problems stem from anitbiotic resistant in bacteria - that is good for Dr. Chen's RX where it attacks a common charactoristic in all gram positive (- think he was originally working on gram negative and apparently solve that class and wnt on to gram positive.)
Thanks for pointing this out so I can clear up what ideas I'm trying to get out.
I am perplexed as to why this sepsis rate is increasing so drastically and therefore was pleased to learn that bacterial / antibiotic resistance was at a low 10% rate. This could make a difference to the FDA means of looking at Dr. Chens work and method and of course the safer the
Rx is, the better. And it's nice he has worked up Strep and Stahy. because they are the main bandits here. But we also have a problem with Clostridum (as in C. tetani etc) and others and who's know whats down the road. Knowing the FDA they will want to know what it does with every bacteria known to mankind, in case it becomes dangerous say with anerobic's (bacteria not needing to grow in air's presence). I wish the FDA was as hung up on issues like the cost of medicine as letting pharma push medicines on expensive television adds. Put the ad. costs into research and let doctor's use the new meds at some godly price.
Now maybe this won't matter with CYGX because as in their business plan they will take it to Phase 1&2 then hook up with a large Pharma for futher testing to FDA. This is a good business plan!
I guess what is needed is a complete study of just what the sepsis problem is and why it has increased so rapidly and went from the gram negative infections of the 60's and 70's to gram positive inside of 20 yrs.
Will sound strange - but are these little organisms smarter than we think!!! They seem to have a plan that is beating modern medicine at present.
Thanks again for pointing all this out.
Rick
*****We are still waiting reactions to this paper. I look forward to just that. I do remember Thalio describing the peers reacting to Dr Chen's presentation. It sounded good!!!
SEPSIS MYSTERY ???
These are all good posts (even the ones that totally disagree with each - 2 views on everything).
The CYGX RX for Sepsis may or may not work. The deal here is the Vector Expression Delivery System of CYGX has been shown to be not toxic so far but we have far to go Apparently it does work so far.
I have a few questions to throw out.
Remember I sat here after a minor surgery in late October with a full blown "SPESIS" and for a short time I thought I was dying. After being on some potent antibiotics delivered on a "PIC LINE" (IV semi-permanent line in forearm with a computer controled delivery system 24 hours a day for one full month). I was lucky - I didn't die (I'm in the 65 to 70% group). It was a Stahy. aureus bacteria and we all know they canbe real bad news. I walked out of the hospital with a grade 3/6 holosystolic heart murmur associated with the Endocarditis the bacteria infection. in a month now there is NO heart murmur. Raw luck my friends!!!
So you might guess here - I am more than motivated and right now, I never want to step into a hospital again but that is not possible.
What I want to know is - what the hell is going on here. Are the hospital workers, including doctors and nurses, coming into work contaminated - are the ventilation systems of hospitals contaminated??? Are the autoclaves all broken creating luxury condo's sauna's for bacteria to just sweat it out???
"Doc4Now spoke of bacteria resistant organisms which I too agree is a factor here but my vascular surgeon (a good one from Charlestown, SC) states that the antibiotic bacteria resistant organisms account for only 10% of the infection problems - seems abit low to me but this man / doctor is knowledgeable in this area.
There is a monterous increase in these infections since the 1980's. They used to be the dreaded Gram negative Bacteria organisms causing the infections but now you've got to worry about the "GOLDEN STAHY. AUREUS" bugs (gram positive) that are resistant to even the super antibiotic VANCAMYACIN (the antibiotic of last resort - if it doesn't work - it's the "last rights"). Whenever these doctors review my case - believe me they are scared!!!
We went from 150-160K infections / cases per year in USA (not deaths - infections) in the early 1980's to 240 to 250K deaths per year in the USA now. Thats an epidemic like the plague in 1350AD.
Now thats a serious trend which is compelling medicine to become alarmed. And if the statistics are accurate - we have more of a problem in the USA vs the worldwide cases ratiowise. That is impt!!!
Another question - If the CYGX patented delivery system is successful - I think there will be a different genes delivered to whatever infection / bacteria is causing the infection. ID will be done very quickly by a culture growth identification of the organism involved.
Skooby's point of using the system of CYGX previous to surgery is quite valid but it would have to aimed at something common to bacteria in general if that exists and I believe it well may at sometime but we are far from that now. That would be incredible but of course incredible barring that the bacteria couldn't mutate around that, which could be designed for that occurence futurewise. It is involved!!!
We are in early animal testing studies so we are talking 3 years mininum but thats okay because each stage of advancement would be a monster step forward for these studies and CYGX PPS.
Again I feel just the HSV studies and the Sepsis studies in CYGX if successful would be alone gaint businesses for CYGX. You would evenutually be talking a triple digit PPS on these 2 studies / RX's.
And we all know there is much more to CYGX than this.
Sepsis is going to get alot more attention media wise for a number of reasons.
First, alot of people are dying. Much more than HIV and it fast, sudden, unexpected and real nasty!!!
It's very, very expensive and its in the hospitals (which they better start paying a whole lot of attention too). It will cause horrible $$$ responsibility to the patients in hospital and directly to the hospitals. They do get sued in these cases. It's on the increase in numbers of cases and there is a mystery about what is happening here???
A company like CYGX with a possible answer would get constant attention alone with the condition.
What else am I missing here?
Throwing these ideas and facts out to provoke more thought on our part. So please keep the ideas coming out - they help everyone.
Great weekend to all.
Got a feeling some news is coming out this week and next but the finances are still a key factor for a large PPS move and then getting a listing. Brotherway - why on "small cap nasdaq"? I mean "go for it" guys.
Rick
CYGX Board.......As in the last 2 posts regarding the viral disease in Carps there are literally 10,000 plus uses for various roles of an Vector Expression factor such as the CYGX "ssDNA". We are basically deliverying something in a nontoxic fashion to silence a gene which is causing a problem - be it a virus - bacteria - toxic protein - fungus - so on. The possible applications are overhelming!!!
Basically we are talking about HUMANS - ANIMALS (domestic - wild - all species considered) - VEGETATION (both domestis and wild) ------anything living that has a malfunctiong gene creating a neoplasia - infection - toxic and/or damaging protien - etc.
Having stated that, which everyone here already knows, consider this. CARP (?)
Some of the CARP which were affected in Japan last year, shuting down their entire market were worth $.10@ and some $10,000@.
Anti-inflammatorys.........HORSES. Some horses are worth some glue and some multi-millionsof $.
Exotic wild plants destorying the ecology of Everglades in Florida and other water canals. Millions soon to be billions in damage to the envirnoment which will be irreversible soon.
I could on for the rest of 2004 into 2005 in the applications of "gene silenceing".
This is how this market in one way - must presented to investors. Turn them on!!! We have had two PR companies presenting papers (in the past).
They were just okay (some thought good start ---but---"Where's the beef"?) where are those companies of late ? Frankly, I believe they were almost a waste of money. Actually the stock was higher then after they were out - But I'm not holding them to that matter.
This is an exciting area of the "future of earth life" - it will effect everyones life in the future - the "rainbow of medicine" with CYGX is only one area of the future revenues in this science area. This Corporation SHOULD NOT BE TRADING AT $0.60 but investors must be made aware of what we are dealing with and while we turn genes off we coud turn investors on!!!
Read "jervi" post about a baby which died and why he is in this stock. This is more than impressive.
knowledge........good point regarding the Carp.
We had a relatively long discussion on IHUB CYGX when the outbreak happened in Japan last year and the possible role of CYGX in the future.
These are the things we try to bring to the attention of CYGX but to date there has been little response.
Besides humans, there are numerous areas that the "delivery system" of CYGX could be use.
I'm not suggesting starting a project each time we bring something up but instead to keep an organized file on this type (such as yours and the material we brought up 7-9 months ago) for the future.
Good post!
specul8......your post on striking while the opportunity presents its self, is quite true and I too am concerned that if financials are handled incorrectly, it will inflicit a severe wound.
You statement about IPO's and if CYGX was presently a IPO, sounds right so what is wrong. Only time will tell.
Lets hope CYGX and Skooby know more than I do. While I basically agree with what "skooby" states regarding the need of - the scince / medicine - and what is possible, I do worry about who is guiding the CYGX boat financially. The science and patent(s) are great. There is a fund of news waiting to be released so anything is possible right now. I can hope for the best.
I do think we must be more realistic about the time factors with a BioTech like CYGX. I use to feel that we could start to move in a very stronge way in a 1 to 2 year peroid - have modified that to 1 to 3 years now. For the pay off here - that is not bad. The PPS will trade on future projects and possible / projected earnings but this must be all clearly demonstrated to investors and analsyts and CYGX is rather small presently and can only do so much.
CYGX needs to line up its ducks (news - events - etc) and hopefully an investor of significants will take note and believe as Skooby, myself and many more here do and get heavily involved.
OT: JSGatt.........John, That MSM write up was very informative and it makes sense. Too much to pass up.
I'm going to use it - will let you know what I get in 2 months. Think I'll try it at the higher doseage like maybe 1000 to 1500mg / day.
Rick
OT: 8-B............MSM will work well in the car if you mix it with STP.
8-B.........I wonder how the SEC will enforce the "no naked shorting" ?
The week of Feb 20 could interesting!
OT: JSGatt..........Thanks John, Excellent article.
Printing it out right now.
Rick
OT: Hanuman..........John, great point for sulfur.
What do like better, Celebrex or Vioxx and what do you think about the cardiac arterial inflammatory changes with Vioxx (theCox 2's) and Celebrex - then an article comes saying Celebrex reduces inflammation - it all got incredibly confusing.
Attorney's in litigation up to no good - drug companies writing and/or supporting studies then it all seem to get left way up in the air with no answers, just alot of questions.
Sometimes I wish the human body did react like a petri dish - but that would be any fun!
Rick
neo43........Don't know much about the corp. but will look into abit because of one word sulfur .
Sulfur is a very interesting element. Last big thing to happen with sulfur was MSM (methylsurfurmethyl) with James Coburn raving about it's positive effect with his severe arithritis problem and his rather immediate (almost too fast) results using MSM.
My theory is that he may have been using Chrondrotin and Glucosamide which are large molecules and therefore in many species (i.e. dogs - humans) are not absorped well over the GI (mostly intestinal) mucosa but when ones add sulfur which is quite safe and has been virtually eliminated in the earth, plants grow in (so we don't get the proper amount in our diets) it permits the absoption of these high molecular wt. substances which in the proper amounts do aid in the Rx of arthritis. There are also impt factors of sulfur's role in the transport of just about everything over any cell membrane.
Now I admit the relationships here are vague at best but nevertheless sulfur, which again we do get enough of in our diets may have a role in the transportation or expression of gene silencing methods.
Thus it caught my attention the first time you found and posted this fact.
Thanks for the post.
Rick
then there is this michael jackson thing.........but I have it on good word that the CYGX victor can correct that.
quote by MAINEHIKER
babycakes........very correct about the boards temperment of late. I have contributed abit of it.
Nervous times but the science hasn't changed.
We have had this before - remember "MaineHiker".
This too will past.
I think its the times too - like the news.
Then Janet flashes her right boob and meanwhile it's the greatest SuperBowl ever maybe but they will always remember it for Janet's right boob.
All these primaries - what a waste of money! Maybe have a "tuff man contest" instead and donate the money to CYGX research. Just an idea.
And personally, I have been sick since this war started.
When Ben and J-low broke up, I haven't been that down since 10th grade.
Alot of stuff going on but it will get better.
Rick
bram12345........thanks very much for that data on GTEL - very kind of you.
Rick
archinla..........there is nothing wrong at all with the original question - nothing.
And you are right now - it's not a minor issue if it is this impt to anyone. It should become impt to all. When I say it's minor, I mean, there is nothing bad about this. Reading the board is the only way for a one sided communication with us. They can only make public PR's - no way of posting to us.
I just was thrown by the need for links or verification by someone else off the board. Don't have anything right now. Some links just don't exist at present.
There are many people on the board who know (believe me) that CYGX observes the boards (they like IHUB - we are all supportive in our own ways) - couldn't ask for a better board!
Your posts are impt to us even when you are asking for explanations or giving insights. When I see you name - my gut reaction is - good - let me read this - it's impt!
Suggestion: get some questions together for CYGX - speak to CFO or CEO - ask in inbetween questions the revalence of the IHUB board discussions - I think some other posters will comment to you in a nonhostile way that CYGX does read the postings whenever possible (there not that many posts so I believe they,especially LW/CFO, reads them all with rare exception) - they won't have links but perhaps something else that will help.
I really do believe it is good that they read the posts - I don't believe it guides them in the business of business but I do believe it give them feedback on various ideas.
Think about what I have said about the difficulty of understanding this science and how that could solved.
peace_2_all isn't going to ignore you because what you say is too impt to ignore.
If I can think of anything else to solve, I will post meanwhile you have my email.
Please keep posting and questioning - it helps all here.
Posting is very good for all of us investing in CYGX.
None of us consider you a basher - quite the contrary!
Rick
Lets not be too fast to judge archinla surprise or disbelief in CYGX reading these boards. Remember the CFO of CYGX was
a broker at one time and follows the business aspects on trading in the stock with professional interest.
Archinla has had some good posts in the past but is having a problem with this one issue and he has a right to question with justification. We all have a right to question whatever we don't understand.
But this really is a minor issue and easily verified by a simple telephone call.
I'm sure after all of this, CYGX will downplay their interest now on the board but it is there and they have been impressed with the IHUB board to date.
The CFO told me once he is very happy and impressed, as we all are, with Thalio posts and explanations.
Maybe I should, but I don't talk to CYGX that often - believe its been 4 times in 2 years (all last late summer).
So when archinla makes his point - he has the right too and should be answered, if possible.
Best to all (happy-sad-indifferent) - It is going to work out at some point - it's just too impt!!!! but we don't want to fight each other.
Rick
archina.......you can't see air but we are all breathing it
(I hope).
Not going to give you names (private conversations). If you want one - email me (GRRDVM@Hotmail.com).
If it's so impt to you, call them up and ask them. The guy who answers the phone usually will be gald to tell you. You might want to mix it in with some more impt. questions.
Meanwhile, what outside source, would I have for your satisfaction? Guess I misunderstood the original question here. I do that sometimes.
You asked for verification.....my statements are that, as far as I can go.
I personally think it's good the corp. reads the board.
Your past spots on the board have been good but reread what you have asked here. Your right about some "self-agrandizing twaddle posted rarely", I think and feel this is not an issue, considering what else is going on. Never thought it would even be questioned.
And breath the air! then email me for more.
Rick
archinla........individuals within CYGX have stated this as fact.
Now there have got to be busy days for them, so their days are not filled with dwelling on the statements here and shouldn't.
They actually have stated liking IHUB and have named some individuals as very useful.
I think as business increases, they will have less time for reading the boards. That will be good for us.
peace_2_all..........Correct and your point of our input is valid. Management does follow the board.
I hope that the CEO follows it particularly. There is quite abit of common sense here and if they can't filter out what isn't, then we are in trouble.
Would be interesting to see what "member marks" they have - got to be rather high now.
So everyone, keep on posting your ideas - likes and dislikes with logical reasoning behind them.
hogger,,,,,,,,,,between you and "downreg" you have summed up about everything. Wish you guys where on the BOD for CYGX input.

downregul8.........excellent post - deserves a second read -
I do have abit of confidence that CYGX HSV Rx works but it is has not written in stone yet.
The most outstanding point you make regards the Indian market and especially one comment about OTC (over the counter medication) vs prescription Rx. Keep an eye (or ear) on this point - it will make a large difference!
Keep in mind that various countries work in very different fashions - be it good-bad-or indifferent. This could work to our favor.
Funny, we have had some of our best dialogue the past week, and it should be so.
Lotta of talent and good minds here.
Keep those posts, insights and opinions coming.
Always remember CYGX will trade (PPSwise) on projected PE's not presnt PE's once we get to a stage of near projected business.
You don't have to be an EXPERT to be an EXPERT
In fact it's perferred many times.
Here are some comments made about me on previous jobs and situations.
"Since my last report on GRRDVM he has reached bottom.....and has started to dig"
"His staff would follow him anywhere,........but only out of morbid curiosity"
"I would not allow GRRDVM to breed"
"GRRDVM would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle"
"GRRDVM suffers from delusions of adequacy"
"GRRDVM has a full 6-pack, but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together"
"He doesn't have ulcers, but he's a carrier"
"GRRDVM is one neurone short of a synapse"
and finally..............................................................................

HAPPY WEEKEND !!!!
NEAR TERM FUTURE (Next 6 months)
Just off hand I believe (please correct anything I am wrong about or leaving out) we will be looking forward to HSV results of animal studies. I too am disappointed with the delay in FDA P1 & 2 studies.
Tex when they said the 3rd Q for P1 of HSV did they mentioned the beginning or end of Q3 (July 2004 or September 2004? or just Q3?
I always thought the first target (for human studies) would be India and there might be a surprise for us how CYGX and Panuel will pursue this study in human trials in the India study which could speed things up meanwhile anything to get it going.
And a payoff in a full year of one half billion would really kick start everything. When TEX said "baby steps", that is so true - just so they keep it going. I have always felt that CYGX would move with a "snow-ball effect" - once they start moving it will build fast. Meanwhile, it will be torture under the control of the OTC-BB and the MM's. But that's the price we must pay.
Also we have an animal study in Sepsis (mice) which could produce something quite interesting in so 6 months. The Spesis project or study is very important. For some reason we are no longer dealing with gram negative infection as in past years - now we have horrible gram positive i.e. Staph. aureus etc infections which are on a severe increase in hospitals. So this story is not going away until there is a good Rx. And maybe the hospitals should be looking to staff contamination and air systems as to just why this is on such an increase each year. It's a multi billion dollar problem increasing every hour and every effort must be made to control it now. It's a terrible problem which if the CYGX sepsis Rx is successful will be very big.
TEX while it's on my mind. Was anything said about Dr. Rossi and anything about his studies in HIV? This is his area of high expertise (HIV and gentics there of)
Lets just hope that any stock sales done in the future are done is a realistic and fair to all price structure.
More to come.
Regarding PATENT APPROVALS
I have gotten this information from several sources including CYGX and another BioTech. So I guess it might be valid.
There is a problem with patent approval in general. Many more patents are being submitted these days and in general the patent department is under staffed and what they are staffed with is not always in our favor.
Can you imagine say a CPA or an Attorney having to review a CYGX or any BioTech patent. They maybe quite bright but absolutely lost when it comes to the advanced technology so while the number of submissions is quite high, there is always a delay because the patent must get in front of someone qualified to review such work. So there are delays on delays.
I wouldn't worry about the fact that there is only one approved patent - namely the "ssDNA vector expression" because that is the main one and therefore most impt.
The other patents will follow - I too wish there had been submitted much in advanced of now. But that is where we are at presently.
The really impt patents to get approved are the HSV and the Sepsis.
Question: hasn't the Sepsis patent been recently submitted for approval? Thought it was.
All BioTech are in the same boat with these delays at the patent office, so we (CYGX) share lots of good company with this.
bram12345.....good luck with the GTEL - it just might work out in your favor all things considered.
Hope you get back into CYGX - you have been good for the board. I'm sure you will.
I have always felt that this (CYGX) was a 1 to 3 year play with the 36 month peroid for the beginning of a large payoff.
Good trading - Rick
Tex.......great job / excellent report with your insights.
Thank you so much for attending SHM and sharing this with us.
Want to reread your report several times.
Again excellent report!!!
hogger.......some good posts!
I think if Lawrence (CFO) wants to go to the next level, he will have to rise to the occasion. Perhaps he can do it but no more of this past financial crap of $.10 deals. We are all watching now and that includes some excellent minds on this board (including you skooby, too).
The science is great - it's the stuff of Nobel Prizes - believe me! But to be successful in business you must be able to rise to the next level. Can you guys do it ? - we will see in time and rather shortly now. Mang. can't tell a large shareholder "if you don't like the way we run the company, then sell your stock. That is unprofessional and it's also illegal. It's an officer of a company giving stock advice. Yes it sounds funny but its true.
I love this science - I think it can change 21st century medicine - I think it can help my life, my family's life and all of your lives! That why I am taking a tuff stand on these points of business. And it will get tuffer.
CYGX increased without permission and without any right to sell what was not authorized and several of you are questioning why we have reservations on the future of the monterous number of authorized shares to be - "they're only authorized not issued yet" - give me a break! - how many times does someone have to hit before you finch!
I'm hoping for the best - the shares will be used for acquistions. We will get a CFO with the program in mind and with the good of the shareholders in mind. We own the company proportional as much as you do and the officers.
Time for the business end and actions of CYGX to get in line with the science. The business plan is good - it's excellent. Now you must do it.
The very best to all of you in your endeavors in this regard.
I believe you can do it but treat the shareholders like fellow owners of the CYGX.
The dialogue here the past 48 hours is more than excellent and the points made and being questioned speak for themselves. I am more than impressed with many / most / if not all of the posters here. I wish some of you were on the BOD or management.
Skooby, suddenly I am frightnened by what is being asked of me. You / we agree on many of the points of the possibles with CYGX but it won't happen unless there are radicle changes from the past business practice. I have been hoping that someone like Mr. Ocampo would save the situation. I still do. I hope CYGX has something going, we all don't know about, that will warrant what they are asking from us. I think they do? But if not, it will be a long, hot and flat summer.
Lets keep this important dialogue going till Tuesday's SHM.
CYGX management does follow IHUB and Raging Bull. The CFO may put it / us down as something not important. So why do they follow it closely?
Basically, I would question what is being asked for say the fact it's just not time to give this much away.
This stock, based on its intellectual property and future potential, should be much higher than it is. Why is it not higher now?
specul8........excellent points made.
I have great respect for the CYGX science but while the CEO has something going, thats about it. Remember this patent happened some years ago and the wheels have been spinning for sometime.
The company almost cease to exist at one point and the deal with Hunt, well lets not get into that area but lets consider who came up with it.
It's been mentioned that BioTech's are getting both massive attention and impressive funding. They are - big time now.
Large Pharma realize its time to get with the program. Have not seen it yet with our company (notice I say "our company") but I have figured or hoped they were getting the "ducks lined up" for projects which are this large and important (i.e. Sepsis and HIV-1).
I don't want to wait till it's too late.
If anyone is wondering if I'm going "sour" on CYGX. NO I AM NOT! But thats on the science end and the proposed overall business plan, which I believe is excellent.
BUT this is a business and I feel it must be run like a business - in fact I demand it! And when you trade on public markets, so does the SEC demand it.
So enough of these nice dreams - YES it will be wonderful but the business must be done right.
I don't like the way this stock has been trading for a number of months (unless there is large amount of "shorting" being done) - I wasn't happy with the possible leaks (which have been taken care of) - I'm not happy with much of the PR being done and this company is not in the position of writing outlandish authorized share deals and fat options at prices in the teens. Those days are over with in public markets and if one follows such avenues then you won't attach the wise investor.
Perhaps that makes me an idiot as an investor in CYGX - so be it - but lets not all be such.
Meanwhile, I love the science but time to show me you can make a deal.
SHOW ME THE MONEY!
We are all agreeing with each other.
Basically we love the possible science in CYGX - it could be REVOLUTIONARY!
But because of various actions by the CEO and especially the CFO of CYGX, we are confused and rightfully questioning their actions. They want us to vote for a package that does alot for them and nothing for us at this point.
I need abit of an explanation to hand this package over to these guys with what I am getting in return.
To say - "If you don't like the way the corporation is being run, sell your stock", is not just an unprofessional answer - it's not the way business is done. When you are a public corporation, there are rules to be followed.
Now thats not bashing - it's reality.
Frankly......Is it me or has this been a lousy week for many things?
I don't like this dilution - for one thing, the co. is not making much of a case for voting one way or another. I would like a little input. I'm (we are) not getting it.
Remember what has been said by several here - Great science is only great when you have some business expertise on the bones.
Someone has asked the question - how were the authorized shares increased last time? And now we are voting on it finally plus another doubling of same.
CYGX reads this board - I find it very interesting that CYGX must spend money on someone calling up share holder to get votes at this point.
Frankly......Is it me or has this been a lousy week for many things?
IT'S A PUBLIC COMPANY - RUN IT LIKE IT.
peace_2_all......you point is excellent and very impt to the future of CYGX. Many companies have had excellent science but have had business problems. There has got to be a balance. CYGX has got to get some good business input from this point onward or it will be just another 4 years as the past 4 years.
I hope the new members of the BOD have some good input in this capacity and will be just not considered but followed. It will make the difference of success or failure!
