Usually, stock option and stock awards are not designed to incentivize lower share price, but rather raising the stock price.
Options are not priced by the stock price at time of award, and restricted (long term compensation) shares that I’ve received were awarded as $xxxx, so you would get a certain number of shares ($xxxx/share price = # of shares) on the effective award date.
Imo I wouldn’t think management would mess around with TLD timing to get additional shares or options, especially since they can get them in more direct ways such as the milestone awards or just additional awards.
First, no one should be subject to aggressive behaviors, period.
Now, public facing jobs are known to require patience and professionalism despite being annoyed, frustrated, or any number of personal stresses. You would not expect customer service representatives to directly complain or express resent to the customers calling them with issues.
Realistically we know everyone is human and personal stresses do tend to reflect in the quality of the customer interactions, however do bleed over to the job to a degree.
I have never yet spoken to anyone at nwbo, including DI, so I don’t have personal experience with his demeanor to shareholders other than that which has been conveyed via postings here. It sounds like he could improve the consistency of his attitude in corresponding in general however if the safety of his family is being threatened, it is reasonable that the stress would manifest in his interactions.
I came into this thread late and have not read back to understand the nature of the apparent threats, so apologies if I misconstrued the situation.
Sweet position, congrats!
While I picked up a lot of shares at low stock price, I didn’t back up the truck because I put too much money in much earlier at prices from $3 up to $12 and on the way down.
The emotional part of investing including fear of striking out is tough, but if nwbo TLD is good enough it’s all good!
If your wife and kids are beneficiaries they would get a step up in cost basis as heirs and would pay tax on gains going forward but not on the previous gains.
Anybody care or have input re nwbo stock price today, or anything else nwbo specific?
I’m wondering if after 50 years of being essentially fully invested in equities, I should phase out of what is looking like a rigged trading machine, or do we believe sticking to the large cap companies shares avoids the rip offs?
My portfolio has increased overall like the textbooks say it should, with the occasional bear markets that usually last 1-2 years and the longer secular bear markets have been mostly absent. That can change at any time, and at some point we will probably pay the price for the extended punch bowl support of artificially low interest rates and running the printing presses at the treasury in overdrive.
I guess I’m asking that very deep and pure question: “Feeling lucky, punk?”
Thanks Flipper, I hope we get confirmation soon but in the meantime the three up days in a row helps to bear the waiting.
Looks pretty logical to me:
1. SAP done because wouldn’t have gone to statistical analysis without.
2. RAs in UK and Germany/EU are on board with revised endpoints because they revised their trial sites. FDA position unknown but nwbo tends to communicate with FDA and likely has FDA feedback or lack of feedback by now.
3. This many weeks past DL nwbo either has TLD or at least an initial view enough to know roughly where the results stand.
4. If it is true that publication in a peer reviewed journal of stature is in progress, and if there’s any truth of penalty for sitting on known failure, then the trial results are successful, but that conclusion is based on the assumption that known failure would not be sat on for an extended period of time. The publication can happen with a successful or failed trial and possibly even for an unclear outcome because it is such an important contribution to knowledge for GBM.
5. So for me it hinges on whether clear failure has to be reported promptly. Therefore the trial is likely either successful or not an obvious failure, in my opinion only, and of course the reality can be different. After all, I was convinced TLD was going to be released shortly after SNO and we all know how wrong that view was!
Please shoot holes in the logic and assumptions.
It would make for an epic rags to riches play and could make nwbo a household name similar to how everyone has heard of Gamestop now. The big difference would be that nwbo is delivering the goods.
Imagine waking up one of these mornings to find nwbo over 50 and rocketing towards 100?
Oh, sorry, I must have dozed off because I’m dreaming
No worries, I thought you were being modest, however you’re still likely better than me but it sounds like in the same league.
Happy Birthday Gary!!!
Orion the hunter is in retrograde (making this up) and its the start of bear hunting season. Watch out Ursa Major!
So much for this LA Times journalist. Without a shred of evidence, and a respected AF, give me a break! And we don’t need this BS mention at this time. Would be instant karma of positive TLD is released soon.
Who knew there was so much talent here!
Thanks for clarifying from the 8-k which I haven’t read yet this time. Once again you cut to the chase with official documentation and knowledge!
Thank you for your reply!
Nice! My real instrument was trumpet, and I played in orchestras and bands for all types of music from classical to jazz and rock and everything in between. On guitar it’s been rock and blues. I like jazz but I’m not good enough to play jazz guitar. And like in Spinal Tap, you can never have too many guitars, even the one you just look at
Thermo, would you mind spelling out the significance for me, as I’m a bit slow today?
Could it be related to the German tax issue possibly?
Wow! I truly enjoyed it and was feeling like Wayne from Wayne’s World, as in “I am not worthy!
If I understood correctly that it’s you performing, I say bravissimo!
Also, are you related to Jack in Los Angeles who has a son by the same name?
I similarly made it a quest to learn Stairway to Heaven and enjoyed getting there, but I’m only good enough to satisfy myself.
You sir are truly accomplished!
Agreed, we got the 1.50 close and hoping we get a continuation tomorrow. Who knows, maybe TLD this week!
That’s better than Classical Gas
Anyone remember that one? Anyone? Buehler?
Picked up a small number of shares today at 1.41 with leftover change from 5G trades. Nice move for nwbo if it holds. Just speculating but sometimes a leak of something like publication or inside action can look like this, but it can be just mm or big buy action. Whatever it is it beats a down day!
Interesting pop fairly late in the day, isn’t it?
Ooops, 250,000 per week not 250
I’ve been buying more nwbo every week in relatively small quantities with dividends and trade leftovers because it will either deliver more bang for the buck, or teach me once and for all to stop swinging for the home runs.
Yes it is low statistically, and I’m trying to get an appointment for the first dose as over 65 but NJ is out of vaccine and I couldn’t find an appointment as of yesterday. Same situation this past week in NYC where my in-laws can’t get an appointment either and they’re over 85.
NY supposed to get 250 doses per week for 7 million people.
I’m finding that paying attention to the rest of my portfolio, which I had neglected a bit while I watched every wiggle in the nwbo stock price, has reduced my overall stress.
I still check nwbo a number of times and try to scan and read most posts on this board daily, just not constantly.
One day hopefully soon we will get the positive news we are expecting!
I read that the severe outcome rate has been 11 out of a million for the pfe vaccine and about 4 out of a million for moderna vaccine.
Was this a nice dream you had recently?
Where is any supporting material for the scenario you paint?
How about acquisition quack quack?
You’re both right but in different timeframes.
Iwasadiver is correct that there were buyers of multiple company financings that sold shares plus warrants to buyers who could sell short against the warrants as protection. This was on the way down in sp and we believed it contributed to the drops in sp.
GGB is correct that the faithful longs who kept buying through thick and thin supported the sp and the financings from being even worse outcomes than they were.
This took place all along but there’s only so much support longs could provide when the attacks were relentless and nwbo decided to go silent.
At least that’s my opinion, which with a couple of bucks could buy you a cup of coffee (or a share of nwbo with some change).
Lighten up folks and enjoy the fruits of the waiting I hope
Flipper
Do you mind sharing your field of practice, such as doctor/specialty, researcher, biologist?
Your posts are always on target and get into detail like one would expect from a professional in health science.
Thanks for the years of informative posts, and for keeping me from overreacting to the FUD and thus not selling my shares.
What a sorry effort!
Looks like no DD done between the three of them, and misinterpreting what they were reading on the fly.
I give them kudos for trying to make a channel though (if they are currently very successful YouTube entrepreneurs then I might come out of retirement )
Thanks Gary!
I wouldn’t have to worry since I wouldn’t have anywhere near $400k per year in income, unless nwbo goes north of $50 per share and there would be a need for me to liquidate shares.
That would be a good problem to have
Just guessing that a tax change this year could apply to income that is earned this year and/or next year, depending on the specifics of the change.
All seasons except winter are nice in the jersey shore.
The retirement income exclusion is good except you get no exclusion if your income is even a dollar more than $100k.
The cap on property tax deduction for federal taxes makes it a bit tougher to carry a house in NJ where $14k-$20k per year is typical property tax on $600k-$1M homes, and no tax help on any other property like a snowbird condo in Florida.
Still, if it weren’t that my grown children are going to live in the south and want us to be close, I’d go the snowbird route until the budget would become too stressed.
OTOH, being close to your kids and hopefully grandkids, in a warmer climate with about $10k more of retirement income annually in your pocket, sounds pretty nice as well.
Regardless, good health is precious where ever one chooses to live, as we all know.
Given that my very long term holdings are at least 10 baggers, eliminating the step up would significantly reduce the value to my heirs.
Perhaps there’s room for improvement however if nwbo pulls off a successful phase3 trial across 4 or more nations and regulators/approvers after dealing with the forces against them, it will be an outstanding achievement even though it’s very long in coming!
Heck, approval in one jurisdiction would be significant.
I’m as frustrated as anyone waiting, but the most important thing is that the trial succeeds.
I bought a golf course lot in north Georgia to possibly upsize in my retirement if nwbo goes right, although I love the jersey shore but don’t like the taxes and winters.
Upon death the stock/property gets a step up in cost basis.
I’ve been holding stock that has appreciated 40 years so that if I don’t need it while I’m alive my heirs get the step up and no tax on my gain. It’s either that or I buy the Ferrari and party until it’s gone
