I'm with you, my man:
>medical gibberish... fountains of useless information<
Your labels, your bias.
It's not my field and much of it is beyond me, but I pick and chose. As mentioned, the "next" button works.
My main reaction: How can increasing your knowledge about the entire sector and the specific science of the company in which you're considering putting your hard-earned dollars be a bad investment strategy?
Perhaps you prefer yesterday's grotesquely wacky display on the I-Village Holy Crusaders, I mean DNDN board (check it out) that consisted of literally dozens and dozens of posts in an all-day running battle about the veracity of the Bible and the importance of keeping "furriners" out of government, or the typical Yahoo board that can be summed-up as "@#$%&* you"?
>I will admit that reading this board at times causes concern<
Sometimes (many times) that's all there is to it.
I think we're all getting a bit edgy:
>I keep reading this posted article to calm my Woody Allen phobias <
"Definitely a reverse split...wait a minute,no reverse split;going to zero...no,going to $100; fire Cox...give him a bonus; I'm bankrupt...wait,maybe I'm rich; buy...sell...buy...sell..."
Have a great weekend all:
My original comment had nothing to do with the legitimacy of the strategy, just the veracity of the claim.
Judging by the numerous public and private responses, most others agree.
I couldn't resist:
>Heck, I read where the entire Icelandic currency was being shorted so that DeCode can't use the loan from the Icelandic people...
Uh, I give up: they think that shorting on the currency market means that you actually take that currency out of circulation?????
Icelandic currency? Don't they use the "cube"?
>...my considering that investor psychology<
You, sir, are truly a Renaissance genius: master stocktrader, glib writer (albeit the spelling, punctuation, grammar and usage errors, but incredibly, even you are not perfect), and now...psychologist extraordinaire!
If you are wrong (perhaps that is an oxymoron) and GTCB does not go up, will it go down?
Wow, you really are a fantastic trader! To be able to sell right at the day's high takes an almost super-human savvy. I'm sure you waited until today to mention it out of consideration for the rest of the board.
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.

Have a great weekend all:
IMO the entire discussion about "how to view the deal" is moot, since this morning the Market is speaking, and what it's saying is clear.
No offense to any DNDN shareholders (I'm happy to have made some money on the stock), and I'm certainly not qualified to comment on the science itself, but I think that today's pre-market and opening action was a bull trap designed to take advantage of those who did not carefully read the release or don't fully understand the math of warrants and options.
Yes, it is true, there "might" be. Most shareholders, and most likely the company itself, hope that the share price can get high enough to avoid this, but it's going to be a tight squeeze.
A partnership announcement is coming, sooner or later; the question is whether it will be good enough to attract the serious attention of the street and raise the PPS.
Another question, of course, is the whole issue of what might happen if indeed there is a reverse split. One can find historical examples for subsequent rises and falls, with the only conclusion being that each individual stock will perform differently, who can tell?
Strictly my opinion, of course, but if you buy at this level (anywhere around 0.50) even if there is a RS you should do OK.
I've got almost all my trading dollars tied up in GTCB. I'd like to get out with at least some profit, so I'm biding my time there.
When I do sell, and if NUVO is still around these levels, I'm buying.
Well darn, I was hoping you were going to launch into an incredibly convoluted scientific and technical discussion with the upshot being the undeniable conclusion that GTCB will double today. Talk about disappointed.
Have a good day.
Dew or Genisi:
I more-or-less understand that GTC has a recombinant product as opposed to Kamada's plasma-derived AAT.
Is the posting of their news simply a prudent and valuable continuation of the "keeping track of the competition" strategy, or are you posting it because it might have immediate relevance to GTC's stock price or ongoing partnership discussions? If the latter, could you elaborate? TIA.

Pollyvonwog: Check out the the post previous to yours, and then recall what I posted to you the other day.
This is quite obviously a case of "a wolf in goat's clothing."

"President Bush announced his new economic plan. The centerpiece was a proposed repeal of the dividend tax on stocks, a boon that could be worth millions of dollars to average Americans. Well, average stock-owning Americans. Technically, Americans who own a significant amount of shares in dividend-dealing companies. Well, rich people, that's what I'm trying to say. They're going to do really well with this."

When the entire housing sector bottoms-out for real this will be a good one, but it's still too early IMO.

CREDIT SUISSE DOWNGRADES CEMEX TO NEUTRAL FROM OUTPERFORMOn Friday, Cemex, S.A.B. [] forecast first quarter operating income down 25% from year ago. Credit Suisse analyst Marcelo Telles says his downgrade follows the company's weaker-than-expected guidance. Telles sees significant deterioration across Cemex's markets, i.e., U.S. and Spain; and Mexico, which was supposed to counterbalance the U.S. slowdown, has shown significant sign of weakness, which in his view may not be explained just by lower investment in infrastructure. He believes the decline in volumes expected to be seen in the first quarter is leading Cemex to rely considerably on strong recovery in the second half of 2008, but the likelihood of this materializing remains highly uncertain at this point. He notes that rising energy costs should continue to put pressure on margins.
Have a great weekend all!

Pollyvonwog: Take a quick look over his GTCB posts the past week or so.
I'd be very doubtful if he really owns any shares; it's all a not-so subtle form of bashing/FUD that unfortunately works all too often.
OT:Bear Stearns Chairman Cayne sells $61.3 mln in stock:
Nothing is illegal when you are above the law.
Hey, you never know:
>Someone(s) is messing with the trading...<
I have documented the culprits at last!
And I was patting myself on my back for selling at 6 and making a quick 20%. Damn!
Great, great pick.
>The vultures and sharks and eels are circling.<
Eels? The eels are circling?
Man, now I know we really are in trouble!
Traditionally, the more you put down the easier it was to get a loan. If you had 50% to put down, you could be an unemployed ax murderer just released from prison that morning, the bank would do the deal with you.
As a matter of fact, they hoped you would default on the loan. They kept the money and resold the property on the low side of market value. Great deal for the bank.
What's changed? There is such a glut of homes on the market, not just foreclosures but also regular people simply trying to sell, that when and if the bank forecloses they can't sell it either, at almost any price. They merely join the queue of desperate sellers.
The banks are still not admitting this; not to homeowners who they're still threatening with foreclosure, and in some ways, not to themselves. Whether it's by adjusting the terms and/or interest of the original loan, or even the IMO outrageous idea of adjusting the principal, they've got to come up with an alternative to foreclosure. Not so much because of their "Love of Mankind" (ha-ha-ha) but for their own survival.
