Thanks Sox, now I don't have to read the board all weekend!
In reality I'm traveling all weekend and early next week, so please don't draw any conclusions about my absence.
Wow, I don't know about you, but I sure would NOT take a psychoactive drug as a cancer treatment if there were any alternative -- like, say, Kevetrin.
Use of psychoactive drugs is linked statistically with a greater risk of Alzheimers. Of course, which causes the other is not know. Do you take psychoactive drugs because you're beginning to show symptoms, or do you show symptoms later because you took the drug?
Also, anyone who has a loved one in a nursing home situation, often they use Benadryl as a sleeping aid. Chronic Benadryl use is also linked to a greater risk of Alzheimers. Again, chicken and egg problem.
September is data COLLECTION. We've seen other companies take a long time to collate the data -- so don't expect press releases in the middle of September.
I think it was PRAN, possibly some other company, that rushed to put out the data they had collected. THEY understood what they were seeing but didn't present it correctly, so it looked like a failure. Now they (or whatever company I'm thinking of) are trying to repair the torpedoing of their stock by presenting better statistical analysis to show that the stuff WAS efficacious for a certain group of patients -- but alas no one cares.
I for one hope that AVXL takes its time to present the data in the best way possible.
noretreat, you must have missed the thorough de-bunking that the July "deadline" received, thanks to our astute researchers. No such July deadline was promised.
Darn, that post made me want to watch Game of Thrones again!
Nicely done.
On what do you base your claimed that AVXL is heavily shorted? I hope you are not using those bogus "short sale" stats that some have posted on other boards, because they are absolutely inaccurate.
You better hope there aren't any alligators in those golden eggs you're sitting on!
Congrats, great news (eom)
Are you saying that you won't be posting the "good news" message after today?
Dangerous to set deadlines, which lead to disappointment. "Hopefully" really does mean "maybe" so MAYBE September.... and maybe not. I'd rather have them take their time and get it right.
Please short it. I think many of us would be happy to see you do so, openly.
Oh no, common sense! THAT has no place in the stock market! Stocks rarely behave the way they would if people had common sense. LOL
I didn't dig in to VTVT very much, only enough to see that it wasn't as bad a scam as AXON. But I sure wouldn't buy stock -- so often an IPO that closes down on the first day is cut in half or worse within a relatively short period of time. Again, I have NOT looked closely at it.
VTVT isn't as much of a scam as AXON, they are using the IPO funds which they are raising on the basis of their probably-futile Alz drug, to fund development of their diabetes and other drugs too. At least they are trying to be a real company with more than one product.
Not that I'd touch that stock with a 10-foot pole.
We've discussed AXON at length here. Long story short: Wall Street insiders bought a failed drug for 5 million bucks. Used their connections to do a spectacular IPO with no clinical trials planned, no staff, etc. -- 1 billion (with a B) dollar market cap 6 weeks ago on IPO day. It was trading at 31 that first day. Now? Around 15, and will go to zero when their already-failed drug fails again.
Wouldn't you rather own the company (AVXL) that had the only drug discussed at the AAIC that had actual indications of efficacy?
Are you saying we've been bottoming for the past 6 months? Because you have been bearish for at least that long.
I guess we've been close to a bottom for the last 6 months, in that case.
Actually I've posted repeatedly about the stupidity of posting about reverse split when the CEO says it isn't going to happen. Other people have posted many times making that point also.
It's not a death spiral, sorry to disappoint you.
What a load of hogwash this afternoon. Sheesh.
Correction: one of the lots was for 300 shares. The rest, 100 share lots.
Hey eventhelosers, I am posting a reply to myself on purpose this time LOL
Now in the green on my new shares bought at 2.72. 100 share lots, naturally LOL
Boggles the mind that you would think that someone who has 30 million shares doesn't care about the stock market, and that you think he can control its actions.
No no no not sub-2, sub 2.69. Apologies for mis-posting, I meant 2.69 not 1.69.
I don't for a minute think they can get it down to 2 again. Maybe a fast dip below 2.69 to run some stops but then up again.
Apologies.
haha but on the other hand that's a 13-14 dollar stock.
I was just looking at the level 2 on the stock that many of us here are also in
http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/AVXL/quote
no blocks smaller than 1000 shares, and some real weird share numbers like 1183 (insert puzzled smiley here)
now that one does trade under a buck, so ? ? ? ?
By the way as far as that one I posted the chart of, if you ask me that is a LOT riskier stock than CTIX. They had to abandon their initial field of inquiry and now they are in the trendy but difficult CAR-T area, with no fallback other types of drugs.
I expect that the CTIX chart will do something like this soon.

Now that's a company that had to abandon their original line of inquiry. Now they're in the trendy CAR-T area. Very risky business, THEY don't have a novel antibiotic to fall back on. Or a psoriasis drug.
Thanks. I used to get all kinds of spam from him till I blocked it, LOL. Interesting.
Thanks -- iHUB seems to have a limited number of them -- probably good or we'd all be overusing them LOL
Thanks, but that's one of the ones I knew -- also the one that uses D at the end for the big grin.
I meant the one that looks puzzled and confused. Which pretty much sums up the way I feel a lot of the time.
If Gilder is planning to pick CTIX for his subscribers, and is going to use it in one of the many come-on spams to get new subscribers, he wouldn't want to give the name of the company. You sign up for a "free trial" to get the names of the current picks.
Stock Gumshoe does a nice job of decoding a lot of these. If Gilder uses CTIX as a come-on, and then Gumshoe decodes it -- that will reach a lot of new eyes.
Yes I do, but didn't want to do that in case I would get 2 500 share blocks. Instead I got 10 100 share ones.
Hey does anyone know if there is a way to post that googly-eyed emoticon here? I know the combinations for the two smiley ones but don't know if that one is available.
hahaha but I said I hadn't had my coffee !
I get a trade report for each block of stock when I buy or sell. For instance, a few weeks ago when I bought a chunk of 2k CTIX, I got one trade report, "bought 2,000 CTIX." Yesterday, I got 10 trade reports, each saying "bought 100 shares of CTIX."
That's a change. I have traded other stocks in the past couple days with the same broker, and the reports were all for 1 trade, with the number of shares.
Hence my conclusion that this is odd behavior, based on the trade reports I have historically gotten.
And pumpers are in for the short haul.
Not meaning to start yet another food fight here, but don't you see a difference in the likelihood that someone would want to sell $12k worth of stock (100 shares) as opposed to $275/worth of stock (100 shares)?
Don't you think it's odd that in the past my purchases have been filled in 1 or 2 trades, but now it takes multiple 100 share trades to get filled?
but that stock doesn't trade for less than 3 bucks. Are there really dozens of people selling 100 shares of such a cheap stock?
Whereas 100 of the other would be 1200+ bucks. Retail investors really MIGHT be selling 100 shares of that.
Usually when I've bought CTIX before it was all filled in 1 trade, not 10.
It seems stupid to do such a thing with 100 share blocks, which are like waving a flag saying "this is a fake." You'd think they'd at least do it with 500 shares, to look more realistic.
Minotaur, not attacking you and sorry you read it that way.
I've just encountered this kind of thing several times before in volatile penny stocks, someone posts something and seems credible, sometimes even keeps the identity going for quite a while -- then vanishes, having left a trail of false info.
By the way when I saw those things before I thought that the quality of the writing was such that they were professionals, probably either working in a hedge fund, or hired by one, to manipulate price. As we have seen with the traders' groups that run stocks up and then grab profits and disappear until the stock sags back and they run it again, it is quite easy to jack these stocks around.
I hope this guy is for real and is correct. But frankly, I take things posted on THAT board with a box of salt, not just a grain.
I believe everything I read on the internet so if someone says he is a doctor and has inside knowledge, it must be true.
Um.... not......
I hope the guy is for real, that does look like a good partnership for both companies if it were to happen. But, consider the source. Ugh.

Gap was at 1.69 and it was tagged so yes.
