The type you don’t take home to mother…
Super freak, super freak…
Hmmmmm, that gives about 60 days from now for the ASM to happen.
If live in person would nwbo have access to a venue on short notice? Anyone able to refresh our memory on where the last 2-3 in person ASMs were held?
I hope the ASM isn’t virtual because I really didn’t like the time LP transitioned into shareholder Q&A and simultaneously declaring no questions and concluding the meeting so as to shut out any opportunity to ask questions.
Being a long time fan of LP for her smarts and experience, that bush league move surprised me and shook my faith in her at that moment.
Although I think the following ASM was better (recollection is foggy) while still remote, I’d prefer to have them physically with the shareholders to preclude the bums rush.
Hopefully we will get TLD and other news before the ASM anyway and a non quiet period ASM !
Marzan has new, young and smart Minions, not those Old Dumb Minions
We, as in society and government, are apparently teaching our young that:
+ people in government positions can trade positions without care of conflict of interest (and appearance of conflict - LOL,)
+make tons of money by hook or crook if you are a big dog in the market itself (MM) knowing the SEC won’t acknowledge or maybe give a light slap of the wrist for appearances (but throw Martha Stewart in jail as a token example,) and
+ powerful people can often do as they please
In short, that the ends justify the means!
With respect to nwbo, it’s any means are game to profit the shorts, truth and patients be darned!
Those of us with compassion for our fellow people and who care about level playing fields and playing fair and honestly, and that the player’s dignity and feelings are more important than even winning, that will in fact pick and support a lesser player for the team rather than have those individuals sit out the game feeling bad about themselves, grow up to be like the fine people on this board!
I may have gotten a bit carried away
Very well put and your view of upcoming success and share price action very achievable if TLD and the detailed analyses are strong as we expect.
The stage is set with respect to support for the endpoints, historical statistically valid placebo, tumor death pseudo progression, understanding of GBM and subtypes and bio markers, and the overall need to expedite new treatments especially for deadly diseases. The phase3 trial clearly showing the big survival tail as well punctuating efficacy!
The time is right, right now!
So true wise!
Thanks so much! I’ve lived a blessed life for which I’m grateful thank God.
Thank you!
Thank goodness for those long term holds that grew to more than 10 baggers, because I went through a crazy trading period that even included a boom and bust trade in Dimples Diapers on the Vancouver exchange!
I think I still have a sample diaper that I was sent by investor relations. Ed Begley Jr was a celebrity supporter because the Dimples Diaper was supposed to be ecologically friendly as a convenient reusable diaper.
I was up from about $3 to $8 per share going into a weekend and the Barrons guy decimated the investment that weekend. The stock gapped down on Monday and went bust shortly afterwards.
Hopefully any coverage of nwbo by Barrons will be positive!
Warren Buffet is one of my investing heros although I don’t remember knowing about him way back then, and he was probably not well known then with his fortune making still largely ahead of him.
I know the Buffet story that he also bought his first investment at age 11. That only confirmed that I have underachieved
While I did ok on my own, in the 1980’s I was fully aware of Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway, and decided that since I wasn’t beating him I would join him. So I started tracking what he was buying and selling and scrutinizing these to derive what I would follow him into and out of.
This simple strategy served me well, buying and keeping/reinvesting in Coke and Amex, buying and following him out of Freddie Mac and Petrochina, buying and keeping Berkshire B shares, buying the railroad before Buffet bought the whole thing, buying BYD (BYDDY), BAC, and more.
I don’t understand why Calpers is trying to replace Buffet as CEO of Berkshire? He may be “mature “ and he may have had a slow patch, but surely they jest. And stop calling me Sherley!!!
PM your not far off with the E Trade baby!
I was more like 11 or 12, asking my mother to take me to the Merrill Lynch office in downtown Brooklyn by train from near Coney Island (Bath Beach) to open a custodial account for me.
My early trades included Pan Am, and Alexander’s, trading in/out a number of times. Later on I made a quick gain on Subaru when you could buy the car for $1995, making a quick $600 gain on top of a $400 investment for 100 shares. If I had kept the hundred shares they would have been worth about $60,000 not too many years later. Lesson learned - the most gains come from holding good company shares long term!
Thanks Bio, yes I’ve been invested and watching every twist and turn of the stock market since the mid sixties, and been through little and big bull and bear markets. Been down about 70% and built back and five fold beyond, however I had the decades to recover and prosper.
I’m that thick in the middle baby boomer (age wise and waist line wise) and retired a few years as a result of an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Although I’ve put off withdrawing from my largely stock retirement accounts, I will need to and forced to take withdrawals (by Uncle Sam) in less than a handful of years.
It’s taking some getting used to living on essentially fixed income instead of the increasing salary, bonuses and company stock, and bank balances that are reducing.
No worries, things have been and should continue to be fine financially if we don’t splurge too much and don’t become house poor building our retirement dream house.
Nwbo has been a high risk high reward binary outcome investment from day 1, more than a dozen years ago and is the largest single bet in a pre-revenue company I’ve stuck with by far!
Like every long time long on this board we continually do due diligence and digest each breadcrumb both good and bad, and I have continued to arrive at the conclusion that nwbo is worth the risk because I believe that DCVax will not fail imho.
Having been orphaned by cancer and losing many family and friends and friends of friends to one form or another of this scourge, including several from GBM, I began reading about the various types of the disease and treatments, until I came upon DCVax/nwbo and personalized immunotherapy treatments, but mostly DCVax for its safety and quality of life attributes.
In my opinion the absence of the debilitating side effects and risks, compared to the other treatments, should be reason enough to approve DCVax even if OS weren’t extended at all, and a no brainer (pun not intended) if any OS extension at all result.
While the Tecentriqs immunotherapy was reducing my mom’s tumors while actually making her feel better it was wonderful. When the tumors reversed and she had to try anti vgef and then I believe a CAR-T, with multiple debilitating side effects, the value of a DCVax minimal side effects profile really hit home.
GLTA and thanks again Bio
Of course we all gain a bunch of IQ points if/when nwbo rockets soon!
Your wisdom and experience is evident in your approach.
I’ve been in the market for about 55 years and recently went from feeling like I finally understood stock market investment to the current humbling realization that the market is teaching me an old lesson again, that everyone looks like a genius in a rising market but a lot fewer are wearing knickers when the tide goes out like now.
Investing actively is fun for me, however like most entertainment I pay a price for it when you consider the following:
Just buying the market in the form of the S&P500 would have trounced all the active management I’ve done, which has been great compared to non equity investments except possibly real estate.
Josh Brown on CNBC just pointed out that the strongest and biggest tech stocks (Microsoft, google, etc) have just given back all their gains relative to the S&P500 going back to 2018. If one just bought the S&P500 you’d be at the same place as riding the roller coaster and taking greater risk than the great FANG type stocks (and yes, the huge growth stocks currently make up about 25% of the index)!
As has been stated, it may be difficult to sell their shareholders on an acquisition to pay $10-20 per share now with the nwbo sp at almost a buck.
I agree with you regarding the partnership route if nwbo can be kept in strong managerial hands, since I assume LP is going to want to transition into a more leisurely life style.
I will gladly take a good BO or partnerships that would get the nwbo share price to $20 and higher, and any win is infinitely better than a failure, especially for what the consequences in the fight against cancer would be!
The structure of a buyout matters to me, such as all stock or at least half stock in the acquiring company, so not to be forced to realize the full capital gain and gives one the flexibility of gains and timing of the gains.
If the acquirer is a good long term investment paying a decent BP dividend one can reap a sizable and growing dividend stream and share price appreciation.
For example if one is holding 100,000 nwbo shares, a $20/share BO could conceivably yield $2M in shares of a BP like a Merck paying between 3%-5% dividend, or $60k - $100k annual dividend that may grow every year or two.
Then if the acquirer is able to realize the great potential of the DCVax platform , for example growing the value from the $20B acquisition to $120B, that’s significant growth contribution to the valuation of the acquirer in let’s say 5 years, presumably with 10-20 years of significant sales.
Looks like a retirement plan to me!
Or younger hot shot investors might want to cash out and pay the gains taxes and reinvest for higher potential returns.
Sounds good?
Will we find TLD before the Laginas find the Oak Island treasure?
We’ve found some Bobby Dazzlers thus far for sure, mate!
In a weird twist of fate, Marty & Rick find 100 million shares of nwbo in the money pit.
Gotta give those Knights Templar credit for their great foresight! Did someone say holy grail
Gotta watch out for those that would be driven by $$$$ to do what maximizes legacy revenue streams at the expense of holding back DCVax platform full potential for a while.
$2.6 Trillion is a heck of a lot of ramen!
I missed out on huge gains in Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Invidia all for the same reason, that I didn’t want to chase the sp up and pay high.
Of course they just kept going higher and higher.
Maybe nwbo will be another stock that will keep rising?
We can dream big!
The inspirational talk might be titled: You too can move on up from skid row to park place (that is a place in the park)!
That is a BINGO!
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that we close green for the day, based only on how we are sustaining down only about 1.5 cents so far today and the weekend fomo tendency.
That plus $7+ gets you a latte at Starbucks like coffee shops. I’ve been passing up my outside lattes in favor of homemade Nespresso type and buying 6 shares of nwbo with the savings!
Just a wild guess, but fwiw he wrote FlaskWorks and that struck me as a hint that maybe the equivalency of closed loop to manual process has been established?
Mr AF,
1) ATL-DC and DCVax are same formulation & process and UCLA makes ATL-DC for their own local use at UCLA because they can and UCLA makes it at UCLA, so it’s faster and simpler than sending tumor to Cognate or Advent to make the vaccine and have to ship it back frozen, etc. Also, UCLA focuses on the research and clinical practice, and would not want to deal with the commercialization, hence the relationship with Northwest Bio.
2) Dr Liau has stated in connection with her recent presentations that ATL-DC is DCVax-L, meaning they are equivalent but the naming goes according to 1) above. Dr Liau’s presentation deck identifies nwbo as a sponsor of the combo trial with Keytruda and the Revimmune IL-7 component.
3) the combo treatment patent lists UCLA, NWBO, Cognate(CRL), and Revimmune as joint inventors (the names are listed for the companies, I.e., Dr Liau, Linda Powers, etc.)
This FUD premise is just that, FUD.
I suggest DCVax-V(eterinary)
Yes I got it also!
Yes, there’s the P3 site connection there, and in Philly you also have the local P3 site doctor and Dr. Stupp, which could be like the previous Masters winner presenting the new Masters winner, or similar handing down of the trophy or crown tribute.
Thanks, the AOO is the stop I couldn’t remember
GLTA
Hopefully ASCO and Cour Dalene are stops on the victory tour.
Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing would be a good road-trip anthem!
Like Jackie Gleason used to say,
One of these days Alice, to the moon!
Curiousler and curiousler…
April - isn’t there presentation late April?
May 1 LL et al in Philly - new game in GBM
May 6 LL & UCLA team - brain tumor day
June 4 MB at ASCO theatre for DCVax
Seems like a bunch of activity coming up and a peer reviewed paper and TLD would fit in nicely, but I’m an optimist and biased towards successful outcome fwiw!
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Linda Liau
UCLA neuro surgery lab chairrrr
(Lin…da… Liau…..)
What would you do
If I found you a cure
Would you stand up
And Nobel Prize me
Lend me your ears
And I’ll soon clue you on
DCVax provides efficacy
Oooh I can’t wait to PR TLD
DCVax provides efficacy
Do you need… peer… reviewing
I got a paper you’re gonna love
Can it be… any… journal
I’ve got one you’re gonna love
Do you believe
There’ll be FUD at first sight
Yes you know it happens all the time
Will it be clear
By the end of the night
The journal will make it right
Oooh I can’t wait to PR TLD
DCVax provides efficacy
No sanctioned paper
Do you know who LL is?
I doubt she would have any shares of nwbo in order to avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest, something our congresspeople and the Fed staff seem to have forgotten applies to them!
Johndoeuk,
What part of They are and have been in human trials, are you not accepting?
Continuing to mention mouse trials is only undermining your own credibility!
Do yourself a favor and get more up to speed so you might elevate your game.
Trying to give you advice reminds me of the old joke about engineers like myself, where the engineer has his/her neck on the guillotine and the executioner pulls the lever but the guillotine blade doesn’t fall. The engineer of course blurts out - I see the glitch, I can fix it!!!
PM, fwiw I read it like Doc Logic did as well.
Maybe you got up on the wrong side of the bench.
Thank you so much! Although I must have heard this during the ASM and read Ike’s original post, it obviously is so much more meaningful now!
Also reinforces nwbo management’s excellent grip on reality regarding the challenges and environment of treatment disruption with regards to the entrenched multibillion dollar players.
This adds another confidence factor in favor of success of new and better treatments using dcvax!
I can recommend using the valet parking at the 4 Seasons if you need to spend a few hours in midtown Manhattan.
You don’t have to stay or eat there to valet park your car there for no more than the other parking garages in the area, and a nice tip got me excellent service!
Speaking with the door men, they told me there are suites that go for up around $20k, $40k to $80+k per night, I think a penthouse floor or a good part of the floor!
That was 2-3 years ago!
Hey, peace and love, and whatever floats your boat, or vertebrae , is fine by me.
Park benches take some getting used to though, so lining it with the Sunday NY Times at first might help
