There sure is a lot of chatter going on around PPHM. Are some people's senses tingling? Is it time?
Jake,
Nobody is getting anything without the PPS going up. FACT
Dew you wrote:
"Actually, what I said is that it was unethical to give treatment-naïve HCV patients Bavituximab and ribavirin without interferon because it would likely generate mutant strains that would become resistant to treatment."
It would LIKELY generate mutant strains?? Exactly what scientific method are you using to be able to make this claim? What Med school did you attend and what are your credentials to make such a statement?
Yes questions about the share price and why the science looks great and we are moving forward, but the share price is not. The answer was what you would expect, PPHM is doing what they can to move the trials forward, King mentioned at several points that where we are is when we typically see Partner interest as well as institutional interest and that will also attract retail as well. There was no fluff or hype, or this year is our year type of talk either. Just straight forward about all the trials where they are at and that they are at very important junctures.
No questions about the deal we did, but King did mention it briefly.
I was there as well.
King stepped up and took Q&A
Garnick was not there, however he was talked about a lot. He has 17 FDA letters of approval hanging on wall and PPHM would like to make that 20.
Dr. Gerber was there from UTSW - He is one of the investigators in the NSCLC trials and he mentioned that this was the best designed trial he has ever seen.
Still on track for FDA meeting in Q4 for Cotara.
AVID - Expects that business to increase moving forward.
Abe.....NO
But I told you all I know and all I can.
Jake,
I "heard' that the random trial results will make people sit up and take notice of PPHM. I don't post a lot here and my source is as good as it gets. And I have never heard my source be that confident ever. So take that for what its worth. We will all know if that is true by the end of this year.
PPHm Too Long,
I have been here a lot longer than I thought i ever would.. However I heard something tonight that will keep me in the game 6 more months, "randomized" studies will show us the light.
Just sayin'
US Cancer drugs in short supply.

Jessme,
I know some people at PPHM so sometimes I do get to hear things that are not necessarily public. They are hardly needle moving events either. If you don't want me to post when I hear things I wont, but I try to do it for the benefit of the longs on the board that otherwise only see what the PR's say.
I am not sure why this frustrates you so much when people post things that they hear. The truth is any public company will have friends of employees that get to hear things that most people don't get to. That is just how life is I suppose. It is similar to getting a job, when the really great jobs are available often times it goes to a friend of a current employee at that company.
However I think you should take the "this is what I hear" posts with a grain of salt. If you track what gets posted and what pans out you can see who really knows things and who doesn't, right?
NYSE,
Of course you wouldn't want anyone to get "sucked" into this when it goes up. After all yesterday you called for it going sub $2.
Yes volume is low, but up is up. It sure beats going down on low volume right?
Interesting tid bit....
I heard that the Dart relationship was brought on by the Roth analyst. And that Dart is in for the long haul. The $10 target is a low ball number, one that PPHM is expected to hit. PPHM is one of the top picks this year (I know and I will believe this when I see it)
Anyway, that is what I just heard, I dont have a link, you just have to have faith that I hear things correctly.

This is pure speculation on my part, but I am sure that Dart has some followers on Wall Street. How many of the big hedge fund guys are looking at him taking a large stake in a small otherwise obscure biotech if Dart himself didn't already know he would get paid out on this investment? WIll they follow with at least a small speculative buy?
I am not saying there is anything shady going on, but did dart just throw a dart at PPHM and decide to buy? I doubt it (Sorry for the pun)
Things should start getting interesting, lets see how tomorrow shapes up.
Anyone else want to weigh in with a theory?
Ha! Typical, you complain because they don't buy and when they do buy its not enough for you.
So tell us how many do they need to buy before you feel good about it?
The fact they are buying should say, the price is low and the stock is a buy right? The market will tell everyone what it thinks, right?
I do, but no matter what I say the censors seem to delete my thoughts. I think, they think I know too much.
Maybe I do?
4's
Just a hunch mind you
not much longer!
On the way Spankyvol, on the way............
I am calling it a buying opportunity.
You may be surprised to see who is buying at these levels.
Lafont,
This is the "Golden Cross"
As long-term indicators carry more weight, the Golden Cross indicates a bull market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes. Additionally, the long-term moving average becomes the new support level in the rising market.
Technicians might see this cross as a sign that the market has turned in favor of the stock.
Looks like a million share day today. Volume precedes price? Would be nice to see $5 soon.
That sure is a lot of action for this PR.
Something else up?
CJ,
Could that have been the reason for little pop in PPS we saw today?
Just the begining?
Jake,
The conversation centered around PPHM working the ATM so the "Going Concern" was gone. Then we may see funds enter knwing we are bound for the R2K. Good data and new trials will be drivers.
So, we are talking about PPHM with this red flag no longer in place.
Then at least the fund managers will have some decisions to make.
Time will tell
Moby,
What you point our are merely guidelines and guidelines are no match for what really drives the market, "fear and greed"
regards
-M-
Jessme,
I am speculating that PPHM is excercising the ATM so they can get rid of the "going concern"
Once that is gone it opens the door for institutions to buy, and they will need to considering that PPHM is probably going to be on the R2K again.
If PPHM can deliver some good data by ASCO as well as a possible government contract and additional studies designed by Garnick for the FDA. The pricing action we are seeing today will be meaningless.
Nobody wants to see the sausage being made.
What are your thoughts if all of this takes place Jess? Will you be more happy or less happy than you are now?
JMO
Something is up for sure, but what?
Volume is kicking, we are already at 1M pre split and it is very early in the day. How are the charts looking people? Are we breaking through resistance?
Is there a leak of news? I have not heard anything lately, so what is up?
BOT - What have you heard?
Bigworld,
I dont want to argue point for point with you, however if all of this you say comes about then oil will be moving the other way in this scenario. A bad economy will drive the prices down. Oil producing nations will pump even more to drive revenue as price declines flooding the market with cheap oil.
Just my 2 cents. And I dont think things will be this dire, but I do think we have a lot more to work through before the economy is back on track. You are correct about that.
SShhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be quiet, PPHM is moving upwards. Is this the begining or just another head fake?
I believe things have changed in Tustin. The R/S turned out to be a non event.
However with some good news the lack of shares may fuel a quick move.
is 2010 the year for PPHM? Isnt this the only year that King has not said that?
Where is our weekly chart Moby?
Flg
Those are the rules and they lay it out for you in black and white, if you dont like it take you ball to another playground.
People complain that management has nothing in the game, then when they award themselves options they complain. So what is it? At least if they have options they have a vested interest to see them grow into something worthwhile.
Do you really want to rehash the "consultant" thing again? Yes we know they are consultants, and I really dont care what their tile is, what i care about is are they helping to get PPHM to the next level or not. Time will tell.
So go complain to someone who cares.
Why is it so bleeding hard for you to understand that there is a serious credibility gap created when the CEO and CFO cash-in options after having gone on record with public statements regarding the current and future value of their company?
Why is it so hard to believe you own one share after the past three days we have had and not even a hey, look at least we are not going down, what is up?
On the quote above from you, I say this:
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Swartz just bought 190K shares
No way todays volume is trading on todays PR.
Somthing much bigger is driving this. Could be the Russel, but it is early.
Fear and greed perhsps?
No a lot to bash today,huh?
Moby,
Have you considered occam's razor?
They PL and SK let the options expire and took the cash in hand that way they didn't have to deal with the stigma of actually selling shares, something we have not seen from managent at all. I think the answer is as simple as that or close to it.
How would you judge them if they excercised their shares, waited for somthing to spike the stock and then sell at let's say $6 a share? I am sure they would be crucified by the likes of you and then the talk of SK and PL selling because it is the top for PPHM blah blah blah into oblivion.
Moby,
Everything can be explained when you look back on things and apply some reasoning and logic but it doesnt make your reasoned assumptions true.
Moby,
I have more connections than Garnick at Linked in and I havent updated my profile there in over a year.
What does that mean? I am more or less important than he is?
If you are painting the assumption that he is doing nothing at PPHM, then why would he even be on the CC they just had and show up at the SHM?
Realist, you did in fact claim that it would likely be in the teens by years end (2008)
Hayward,
Because it makes it easier to make his point, whatever that may be.
Call it selective nonsense
Moby,
Does this blurb spell doom and gloom for MSFT? Does Bill think it is going down, why not hang on for the sure thing if he thinks it is going up?
"Microsoft chairman and extremely rich dude Bill Gates has sold off another 1 million shares of Microsoft stock, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Monday, bringing up his August stock sell-off to 8 million."
I know this example is hyperbole, but c'mon we all got it already. And most of us will hang around to see if PPHM can make this thing happen. We know the risks and potential rewards. I have not been here as long as most, but it sure does seem that PPHM is a lot further along today then it ever has been.
Merry Festivus!
Moby,
Why wait? I dont want you to wait 120 days or 90 days or even another day, please sell and move on. If everything you believe about PPHM is true then take this opportunity to get out now, please!
