Neuro,
Sorry for you loss as well. Many have suffered far to long, my uncle included. A man that suffers from AD and has just lost his wife of 49 years to cancer. The fear and loneliness in his eyes is truly heartbreaking. Take care.
I guess my question is, if a SA trial would be so easily defined, results so quickly recognized, success so immediately lucrative, then why not pursue that avenue last year, last week, or right now? Do you require poc in another indication before SA retention offers significance?
O.T.
I appreciate the thoughts, pro or con. I'm a realist and don't really support the antiquated beliefs of a dying and hypocritical institution, but I've been dating this little philly for 5 years. She is traditional and it is put up or shut up time, the hints are becoming a bit obvious. From my standpoint, the security of marriage is beginning to outweigh the tiresome thoughts of telling clever stories at happy hour just to get a piece. It doesn't hurt that she is 16 years my junior, looks like Claudia Schiffer and has the moral fiber of Laura Ingalls. Seems like a recipe for disaster with a prenup kicker, but I'd be dumb to let this one get away. Throw in a little love and it seems like a solid bet. Hell she's put up with my antics for this long, so she must be the one, if there is such a thing. At least the one that tolerates me the most and understands me the best. After all, neither she nor I believe in love at first sight or fairy-tale encounters and we jointly support the belief that you make the best hand with the cards you're dealt. How's that for a realist point of view from a true romantic, as I said before I'm a half empty kind of guy.
Got no Cor news so I thought I'd give the board a chance to have a little fun with my situation. Happy Holidays.
Good Stuff!
Merry Christmas Gents. Going Ring shopping. Thinking about popping the big question. Maybe it'll make for a better 2009. 42 years of being single on the line. This could hurt more than holding Cortex shares. Both seem like long term commitments with hopes of bliss just out of reach. Ho. Ho. Holy scary.
My thoughts:
>1. The rumor that GS will start a low-priced bio fund<
Doubtful. Too generic. Many other small bios are not reacting as Cor.
>2. The expectation that the shelf offering portends a deal?<
Possibly, but one could argue that the shelf favors a pipe as well.
>3. Tax-loss rebuying?<
Seems to early in the season for that, and there was not huge amount of selling during the previous 30 days, nor much buy volume here as well.
>4. MM scam to create the illusion of good things before a dump?<
The action doesn't appear to be manipulation. Lack of volume seems more like a valuation adjustment. Not sure why the street has formed its new opinion however.
>5. An actual deal?<
Seems the most logical. Certainly the volume is far to low to ponder a leak, but again valuation seems to be in play in that the odds are favorable for the deal to be inked sooner than later thus minimizing the cash flow issue. Seems bankable.
>6. A PIPE?<
Unless there is manipulation by an undetermined source, the recent action certainly would be inverted should a pipe be in play.
Looks like a favorable turn is in Cor's future. The recent action on low volume looks good and the shelving of shares seems that they have a purpose other than a simple rainy day share allocation. I think it's best not to talk about it...let's not jinx good energy.
Neuro,
Sorry for the misinformation, I just seemed to remember the 400k number prior to the ADHD debacle. It probably came from an unvalidated source or I misinterpreted a post. Either way, the share price seems to reflect the mood of this board or vice versa.
Unfortunately it's all relative. With Cor, good news maintains the stock price briefly, no news creates a steady stock price slide, and bad news creators this puppy. The market seems to care less and less about the value of anything now days. A deal, unless wrapped in a bow, will luckily bring us back to a buck for brief moments. And if "the deal" is not perceived as excellent, we will probably maintain short-term moderate volume with another casual drift downward. Too much wait and see mentality. If Cor could piggy back the RD deal with a Euro ADHD deal we would probably see the terrible 2's once again.
There are several shareholders here holding a ton of shares:
I've got 300k
ASU: 400k plus
Neuro: 400k plus
Sps18: 700k
JerryD: ?
RBlatch: ?
I'm sure there are several other that hold considerable amounts but these are the holdings I've somewhat committed to memory. Collectively there is some strength and with the major holders concerned, maybe a round table discussion with the board is a possibility. I could use a vacation and Irvine seems as good a place as any. I would sure hate to see the share price if members of this board decided to sell off...it wouldn't be pretty, for I doubt there would be enough buyers to save it from the sell off.
If all else fails get Freto back. His shameless but effective pumping scheme, if timed near a deal pr, could give us some sustainable volume, creating some trading stability and a higher launching pad. Just a thought. Sometimes you have to swim with sharks when there's blood in the water.
I'm no Dr. Phil, nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn express lately, but I've bartended for several years and have heard the world's problems through the eyes of the intoxicated. From doctors to ditch diggers, lawyers to loan sharks, I've just about heard it all. Most jargon consisting of whimsical nonsense, but I have also had the sparatic pleasure of receiving some fairly good advice and have made life long friends out of once perfect strangers. As a matter of fact, a CPA walked thru my doors one afternoon in 1996 and began talking with a local investment broker about a company soon to be advancing a drug which could possibly cure certain effects of Alzheimers. That company was Cor and I purchased 10,000 shares the following month on a hunch that the two fairly sharp dressed men knew what they were talking about. If I remember correctly, it was trading in the .50 cent range, about where it is now. I was lucky enough to see it run to the 8-9 dollar range and I made some money off of the old girl. It was off my radar for years. I randomly began watching it again about 4 years ago and when I saw the ADHD progression it seemed as if it was time to get back in. It's been in and out of my portfolio ever since and it brought me here to this board where I have learned a great deal.
Why do I mention all of this, well it seems as if you are having a bad day and I thought my ramblings may lighten the mood.
The excerpts you bring to attention are all very depressing but are probably unique and isolated cases. It appears to me, that the actions of these seemingly self righteous individuals appear to be more selfish than selfless. Our country is spoiled and needs to be humbled a bit. This economic turn will certainly do that. When times get tough, it's not time to murder your children, it's time to swallow your pride and get your damn hands dirty. Unemployment is increasing, yet I have constant problems filling low level positions within my companies. Jobs that were once considered acceptable and a decent means of making a living are now looked at as unsavory, beneath people, and left to the transient or lower class. Everyone wants to take the escalator to the top, noone wants to climb the stairs anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm far from happy with my investments as of late and I've lost most of my life savings in Cor, but I could have just as easlily lost equally as much in a presumably safe mutual fund. It was a bad week for us, but the picture remains clear. Cor has what someone else should want. Unfortunatley we probably won't get the upfront cash it would have fetched months ago, but BP's are liquid, they are cash rich, and if this indication is as valuable as some say, Cor will have its day and get the cash it needs to advance this drug. The reset button has been hit on this country's financial system and it will take some time to gather momentum again, but it will. The growth economics built on smoke and mirrors within our financial systems are no more, victims were taken and will be taken again, this country will have to go back to sustaining growth from sound fundamentals. Cheer up, another year with this company should bring us more wisdom and hopefully with that more wealth.
Enemem,
A miscalculation of that caliber would be grounds for a lynching, no pun intended.
Gershfinance,
A leverage financing from shareholders would be great in a fantasy world but in todays climate, I don't see anyone pulling leveraged cash to support an unstable bio-tech that can't seem to get out of its own way. If I had access to 500k in an available equity draw or such I think I would be putting it in valued but depressed securities that offer far more generous upside and stable returns than that of Cor options based on the hope of Cor's fab four finally getting a deal done. Urgency and value don't seem to go well together. The value of this deal is shrinking daily. Maybe Stoll can do a share purchase with options...he probably has a few mill of Cor bucks sitting in a 401k or fund of some kind. If not, there's always the sp friendly R&R funding family, why not give them an opportunity to steal more shares and options while we once again sit idle watching our value dimish. A buyout or selling of the company IP seems like the best option for shareholders at this point, unless of course you like several more years of wait and see type mentality.
It was pleasantly surprising how well Cor was holding up in anticipation of a deal, but it appears now that optimistic exuberance from the RD results has left the building.
I'm sure everyone here is already well aware that the problem with Cor is that these constant delays between events continue to detract any momentum put in this stock by positive news. We continue to lower the sp basis, setting us up for minimal gains when solid developments occur. This is a pattern that will continue until Cor can string together a chorus of developments creating consistent positive pr with renewed interest thus sustaining high volume on an ever increasing share price. When and if this happens, Cor's share price will be less affected by these somewhat large block sells and can begin to create a firm floor. Without a more aggressive approach, one of which management probably has no control over, any chance of flipping this skid is going to be difficult over the next year.
Unless of course they get a real sweetheart of a deal very soon, this drift will continue and Cor will again have trouble breaching the $1 mark on a deal disclosure. Sad but probably true, handcuffing its large investors and adding more wait and see mentality.
MF4,
If your trading it might be a logical bet to play a bounce next week but I believe there will be another huge sell off after a short term rally. As they say, if people are expecting this to be the bottom, it's doubtful the bottom has formed and a massive sell off is looming...a short term spike following a G7 resolution may cause this. As for me, my restaurants, being in an overly conservative community, have slowed dramatically tightening my cash flow. So until Cor does its duty I've become a spectator. Good luck to you which ever way you go...it sure is something to watch. The days end I think will bring a sell off and a bad close.
>>What's the answer? I want Mr. Government to tell me he will stop wasting my tax money and get us out of debt. Let those that were prudent and have cash get some bargains. The ones who lived beyond their means can learn some tough lessons and rebuild their lives over time. Get the hell out of Iraq and quit meddling. We've got enough problems at home. Go back to the Constitution and get rid of Homeland Security.<<
Well said!
Absolutley agree. Let this thing play itslef out. Solid cash rich securities will maintain themselves long term. Government stay out of it! Those companines that hedged their cash for high returns with huge risk deserve the flip side of the reward. I feel bad for the bag holders and near retirees banking on their 401k's however.
It's ironic Cortex being my highest risk and most speculative play, became my largest holding, a huge overplay for me caused by a determination to average down, has turned out to be a saving grace...for the moment at least. Now if the powers that be can get a deal inked sooner than later, a once in a lifetime opportunity exists for the cash rich investor chasing cash rich staple securities.
Scstocks,
Good call on DUG at 28. I believe it was you who posted you were chasing a decline in oil several months ago. Where would you be eager to put you money once capitulation occurs. I've been looking at various etfs. Just curious.
I will probably pull 50% out of my Cor holding once a deal gets done. I believe now that the RD indication has proved itself to be legit, Cor's platform and sp has huge upside but I am in a serious need to diversify. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated as you seem to be on a bit of a roll. Thanks.
Great news. Critical time. Aggressive bargaining power. My guess it will get done 4-6 weeks. Management must have been dabbling in talks interim. Looks good for us for now. Too bad our launching pad had been depleted due to the delay but better days should be ahead when cash begins to reenter the market. Could this be the beginning...
You always have a unique way of viewing things. Both those episodes are hysterical. I'm just venting a little today because I lost some money on a couple of bad football wagers. Houston are you kidding me. Believe it or not I still think I'm going to come out ahead on this pig. Just having a little fun. I'm actually glad my money is tied right now I would have made some bad decisions on a few stocks on my watch list as of late. If anything cor has forced me to behave and afterall it is up 20% this year. It's the next 3-6 months that have me worried. There may be "No Soup" for many millions of americans not just us cor fanatics. Good trading.
I thought the same thing. Don't you think cor management should have as well. Then again they had no idea the key stat man was going on a month long vacation. They should have tested lower doses in RD-2 to begin with or at least have tested the 2100mg cohort in the RD-1 trial. Then again what do I know, I just serve chicken and martinis for a living.
Asu,
I think you were typing it as I was thinking it. Maybe we are the only two actual individual investors that exist on this board and the rest make up aliases with ties to cor. Posting in order to keep those paychecks coming. Have you ever wondered what Stoll's wife is doing while her hubby is at work...hmmmm?
Wouldn't it have been nice to have RD-1 follow up immediately after RD-2 with positive results, increasing SP enough to cash out? Sitting now on the sidelines with large amounts of ample cash, ready to pounce in today's market. Naw, rather we got weeks of painful silence. We must again be the only two on this board who are willling to call a spade a spade.
Good luck muchacho, we gonna need it!
>>Of course, no one here was saying that after the CX-717 results in ADHD came out of the Phase II trial<<
Of course the ultimate evaluation of execution is shareholder return regardless of fault, hightened regulation, etc. "Many irons in the fire"...we always seem to be focused on one iron a year, seems a bit contradictory. Prepare and deliver or be scrutinized. I'm sure throughout all this waiting, Stoll, Varney et al have become great poker players. Let's see who calls the last bluff. After their last card played, I feel very much like moving to Germany, their vacations seem to last forever.
>>Of course, it's entirely possible that Cortex has always been a bogus company created to bilk shareholders of cash and hope, whose only purpose is to keep manufacturing potential indications in order to extend the ever-lengthening carrot on the end of a stick metaphor.<<
Festus for the rest of us(no offense),
Don't think those thoughts haven't crossed my mind over the last 18 months. This seems more and more likely everytime COR PR's something and the ball is seemingly dropped due to outside, unpredictable, unforeseeable circumstances. Therefore I add, either it's your scenario or Cor is quite possibly the most unbelievably, incredulously, unluckiest company that I have ever invested in when it comes to regulatory and timeline expectations, issues, and excuses. Quite plainly this sucks and I should have sold COR, my restaurants, and my house and moved to Costa Rico when I had my chance. Long live the free, tainted, corrupt American markets. Short everything including the life of the once powerful American financial system. G-Dub you are the man.
Couldn't the RD-2 study be easily duplicated at this point by an interested BP in a non formal setting to verify poc at lower doses. With this delay, it seems almost prudent that cor or at least an interested BP would be able to initiate a study similar to the somewhat botched RD-2 study in house at lower cohorts simply to verify its effect at the lower doses. That alone could verify the study data, removing procedural doubt, allowing cor to work more confidently towards getting a deal done. Or, is the data only prevelant if analgesia is preserved, hence requiring the RD-1 data nontheless? Is this possible or am I smoking something? Would regulation issues not allow such an effort. With all the connections to various labs and drifters looking for extra cash I would think it wouldn't be to difficult a task.
False promises, bold predictions, misinterpreted expectations...they all fall in the same hat for me. Down 10 percent on no news yet the board fears we will fail to rise on good. Until the funding question is answered I tend to agree, there shall be limited upside here now with these delays, moving us more and more likely towards a pipe.
Driving forward seems logical. Hopefully the management team feels as eagerly aggresive during this lapse.
Davey,
We've invested our hard earned dollars into this company on the belief and execution of disclosed IP value and management promises, not the other way around. We have every right to question their ability and lack of predicting timelines. Know the rules of the game of which you play. If the delays of CRO are so obvious why then did COR management give us a timeline of which to expect results. False promises is all that we have heard. Until something is delivered to shareholders that represents the touted inherent value of COR's IP expect more of the same.
O.T.
Yeah, lets not make anyone accountable for their actions anymore. Let's just pass the greedy selfish acts of todays asset mongers onto the generations to come. Have you seen some of the houses and incomes these CEOs have obtained. Where exists the legislation that removes golden parachutes and liquidates these CEOs assests if they do not perform their inherent duties with the company's shareholders and employee's best interests in mind.
There would have been plenty of money from the private sector to bail out the depreciated assets of these poorly ran companies for pennies on the dollar, which is all they deserve at this point. New cash rich entites would have stepped forefront to inject cash into our ecomnomy, bailing out where necessary with huge future opportunistic upsides as their reward for doing so. Reward individuals and companies that operate within their means and properly. No, our government would rather choose to reward the greed of criminals and scam artists. This administration is setting another fine example for the youth of america. Spend excessively beyond your means as we do and leave the bill for your grandkids. This country is truly a mess.
Amen. Amen. Amen. I was looking at the delay as more of a funding delay withholding rd-01 data to maintain a higher share price benefit. Lack of disclosure at the bargaining table may be illegal however. It may also prove to be illegal from a deal making standpoint. So that theory seems a bit sketchy.
To believe that one key statistician can go on vacation and hold up this whole process seems remarkable. Is there not other compentent individuals keeping the lights on that can perform his job? If Joe statistician is indeed on vacation, did he go on vacation for 3 weeks? I hope nothing sinister has happened to this golden boy of data processing or Cor may be waiting for results until summer of next year. Regardless of vacations, the backlog should have been caught up by now. It is 3 weeks past the given expected deadline after all.
Cor should be kicking in their door knowing the relevance of this data. Unless of course they are so confident a deal is going to get done and they are progressing positively in other areas as we speak. If that is the case a confirmation pr of any kind would be greatly appreciated...just communicate something to your shareholders. At this rate our new launching pad will be back at .50 cent.
ASU,
I agree with enemem's post for the most part. The altruistic dark side of me offers the following:
Cor reports RD-01 failure, no poc at lower doses, therefore no analgesic preservation. Stock drops to .50. Cor offers up a pipe and kills the share price even more, say .20. Then executes a 1:10 reverse split, f'in us all. They do this simply because they are to proud to sell the company at less than $6.00 per share, they want their options and they want to maintain their high paid positions within the company. Do I expect this, no way, but I wanted to offer a purely black scenario. It has been apparent to me share holder value is certainly not the primary concern of the big wigs...nor should it be. I guess bio investing rolls by different rules. Motivations are long term. Patience is a must. I know this now. I don't like it, but it's pretty obvious all one can do is wait and hope. The reward could be great, but usually results in reflective agony. I'm used to betting on a football game, or pulling a slot arm, or waiting on the dealer's show, even betting on the quarter. All of which have a hard outcome. Bio investing certainly is that polar opposite of what I'm used to or prefer.
I must say, my demeanor is that of playing a slot machine I have alot of money in. I'm going to keep pumping money in the damn thing for I believe sooner or later it's got to give me something back, playing the percentages. Probably a mistake, good money after bad, blah, blah , blah. But as I said at .80 cents, the market and loyal followers seemed to have turned negative...it's time to buy, buy, buy. Last week I picked up more of this little gem. Sitting on a 1.30ish break even point. It's been more secure than the rest of the holdings in my '08 portfolio. This all feels great, but until cor sustains some volume getting my money back out in large blocks will be a bitch.
As far as the poster chiming in on the negative share holders, well you have two options sir: average down and hope for the resurgence of the inherent IP value or take the loss and move on. I've never been good at walking away after getting my ass kicked. As another fellow "1/2 empty" poster states quite regularly, "Show me the goddamn money already". Until then, I see no reason for pats on the backs of Cor management.
A pipe would be ludicris at these levels. Maybe management has a way of manipulating the burn rate to extend available cash a few more months. Obviously fixed expenses and salaries are non manipulative but dollars spent on R&D and such may be directly reattainable. I haven't reviewed their balance sheet recently but any business should be able to tighten its belt a bit during times of difficult cash flow. Management has been off on every other prediction, lets hope they are wayward on the life expectency of their remaining cash.
I again cannot believe that analysis of 16 subjects can take this long or that cor's the inability to predict its outcome of completion can be so widely staggered. Cor's survival or dilution seems to hinge directly on the researcher's inate incompetence and the data catcher's direct inability to perform systematic data analysis in a timely fashion. Is it too much to ask a paid research entity to be able to meet customer timeline expectations. Given this type of track record, not to mention the lack of suitible personnel sit-ins while key individuals exercise their vacation priorities, it's no wonder any bio calls on such a entity to perform a study such as this in the first place. If this is bio common place, it's no wonder fruition of potentials takes so damn long to come to market and wouldn't Cor management again have seen some of this coming? I think so. Note to Cor management, stop making bogus predictions it's doing far more harm to your shareholders than good. False hope is far more damaging than no hope at all.
Finally, it appears that good ole Cor has again turned its loyal follower's sentiment to negative...must be a buy signal.
Hate to state the obvious, but maybe it's time to let the girlfriend go. Kastanza, you have no hand. It's time to regain control, to the curb with her, you will unsuspectingly find the love of your life and Cor will begin to dabble in the lunar realm.
Don't take my advice to seriously, I'm a 42 year old who has never been marrried. Long term relationships are not my forte`. Just food4thought!
Why do you feel so strongly about that date? Was there an accidental tongue waggle while you and Roger were swirling cognac over the holiday weekend? What gives?
I strictly can't believe data from 16 subjects can take quite so long to compile. If the university study is a paid study then you should expect timely results...euro vacationing still bugs me as an excuse. Just once it would be nice to see Cor beat any deadline regardless of who's fault it is.
That was my point, Varney said he was on vacation not I. The data was suppose to have been compiled late July, it was delayed...nothing new there. Maybe Stoll was awarded a 2 week window for just that reason. I'm just saying, it would be hard for me to relax on the dock of a bay somewhere if I knew the culmination of the key components required for the survival and success of my company were at hand.
There has got to be a short list of viables that Stoll has regular contact with that are waiting at the door step for verifiable data. I am just hoping Stoll got all of his ducks in a row prior to packing up the wife and kids. If that is the case, I doubt it will take much longer than the end of October to put a deal to bed. I still think RD-01 data gives us a huge pop, then again I thought Brett Favre would be suiting up for the green and gold this year. Gotham city will see a true hero this fall and he won't be sporting a black cape just a scruffy beard a cannon on his right shoulder.
If the RD-01 data is not known then obviously my speculation and management opinion means squat. At these important times, I don't expect hasty or knee jerk decisions, however if a deal takes us to year's end, I will then soley blame management for their lackluster and careless efforts at this particular juncture. They will be responsible for further dilution and shareholder losses.
BTW, I like Varney's evasive responses to bow's e-mails, seems to me he's being smartly tight lipped. If there was nothing to lose, he'd have nothing to hide.
I'm still all in. Good luck gents, only time shall tell.
My 2 cents,
Any CEO or any person currently in a position such as that of Stoll, should at the moment be less worried about the level of SPF required to suppress the burn he's getting at his favorite beach but rather be overly concerned with his company's depleting funds and what is required of him to quickly and efficiently get a deal done in order to not again burn his overly patient and somewhat loyal shareholders.
He should at the moment be in bed whispering sweet nothings in the ears of a leading pharma candidate not working on his short game.
Shame on Stoll and Varney if the results are known and they are delaying the bidding wars in hopes of a better deal after labor day. That is ridiculous. Any businessman I know would cut a vacation short if millions of dollars were on line, not to mention that if millions of dollars were on the line and his or her company was in a desperate situation for cash.
If this is how bio-tech plays its game, it's no wonder so few succeed.
There is a time for work and a time for play, clearly this is not the time for a game of beach volleyball.
This thing is drier than a popcorn fart. With all the potential critical news coming it again appears as if we are the only ones watching. I still think the RD-01 data will sway the suspect opinion, drawing new money, creating a nice pop. For now, the waiting game continues and the market seems to again be ignoring the praises of our gifted red-headed step child. This constant dragging is making an interim financing look more and more probable though...well maybe we turn the corner in '09.
A buyout seems doubtful. The long term prospects look good enough to pursue with a partner. There should be a steady uptrend from here until a hurdle presents itself, funding or delays.
Was hoping for and expecting a higher base and volume today, but it is what it is. Sentiment has turned and interest should come. RD-1 data should seal the deal.
May I offer a big sigh of relief. Positive forward thinking has entered my brain, which has been absent as of late. Holding tight seems to be the logical play.
There seems to be a lid on this thing. What gives, we were at $1.25 a few times this year on no news. We should be running. Volume seems stuck. Maybe the lunch hour brings new investors and a mid day spike occurs. I think the next few months will move us back to the $2.50 to $3.00 level either way. Thought the news today would create a bigger bounce however. Sustain, sustain, sustain.
Agreed. Thank goodness the problem was solved mid-term. Stoll could really use a shot of 5-hour energy...show some optimistic enthusiam man. I don't expect jumping jacks but holy boring batman. I didn't catch the addressing of the botched doses yet. He did mention a partnering pretty quickly. Not sure what pretty quickly means but it's good for us. Yee-ha.
SC,
Word will spread quickly through the bio arena. Maybe the botched doses have some investors worried. That outcome is far better than no effect seen at those levels however. The RD-1 data should really add some fuel to this rocket. I expect a double by days end.
Yowza, we goin to have a wild fire on our hands. Congrats gang and thanks to the stable believers out there. BP's better get cortex on speed dial! Rd-1 data should really get this thing to take flight.
ASU, I don't think selling is a good idea. This may be a walk off homer by year's end.
Agreed. If Cor is already presenting data to viable BP's we would have seen a spiking of volume prior to this presentation. I've certainly stated my feelings on this concept more than once, why doesn't the street, investment groups, BP's, market makers, etc. see the potential in cor's IP if it is truly so valuable. This board appears to be the only cheerleader on Cor's sideline. Tomorrow we need a whole lot of new money in this pig to sustain an SP increase or we'll just be taking one step forward and two steps back. Hope for a volume of 2 mill plus. If POC is evident, it would be nice to see Roger delve into BP negotiations, but I doubt he will, that would be asking for a bit much. How soon a BP deal would occur after the big reveal is beyond me, but it certainly needs to be soon based on available cash. So I see this as a hold regardless of data. You won't be able to get out fast enough if data is ambiguous and the .50 player's heavy selling will most definately hold Cor down tomorrow if data is good. Tick, tick, tick. Soon the mask will be lifted, pig or prince?
Agreed. Get your game face on, alot of dough can be made over the next two weeks. Looks like more people were watching than I thought. The volume should be there to make some hay.
Roger sure has a way about him...end of July. Thanks for stringing me out. I like the fact he's attacking more than just the RD data. This could be a gangbuster delivery if they have their ducks in a row. Good luck fellas it's been a hell of a wait.
MF4,
Other than my hangover things are looking up. I'm all for Vegas, a lap dance, prime rib, and free thinking, not necessarily in that order. Good luck, opportunity knocking.
Extremely O.T.
MF4,
Dude, I seriously need to hang out with you for a weekend. You truly make me look like an optimist, which I am far from by the way. By far, you have got the wildest, most extreme, left winged, pyschie on this board. Before you believe in the ability of the US government, you need to experience the abilities of the US government. I agree they are the world's martians, but I don't nearly give them the credit that you do. Do you truly think, that they think, that we are this dumb? I mean they gave us G'dub after all. For Christ's sake, give us a puppet that's a bit more entruiging and please give the American people a bit more credit. Have some faith. They know far less than you think. If they've ventured beyond our solar system...forget about it. Unless extraterrestrials inhabit our planet, we are amongst the ordinary not the extraordinary. We live in a far less complex world then you imagine. What advice can I give you, but, that you are in control of your own destiny...stop blaming others. There is no conspiracy to bring you and the rest of us aborigines down. Move to a third world country and buy yourself a mate with a more simplistic view of life and live happily ever after. The next 100 years are out of your control and not your concern. Don't let religion, marriage or other prehistoric preachings distort your minds ability to be free. Let me just say, I do believe the rules of society, religion, government, etc., although originally deigned to protect us, are now used to control us. Again, Canadian whiskey talking, yet another one of our gov't control mechanisms. If smoking and drinking are so bad for us how about we just pass a law to make them both illegal...no money in that. Why do some continents never develop yet others thrive...a superior being must exist. Look to the stars, life is far greater than what surrounds you and the rules of the world of which you were told to abide and live within.
Disclaimer: I haven't been this deep since I was stoned for the very first time during my "first" sophmore year of college. And yes I am wasted, Cor has had me hitting the bottle as of late.
MF4, I am a distrusting, miserable, pessimist. You my friend are off the charts. Take it easy, don't sedate, good things come to those who wait...ah that's a bunch of b*****it. Just live within your means and your own controllable world. You will find some happiness. What will be, will be. As for me, I need another shot of whiskey and a lap dance. Have a good one my friend.
If you are in Cor with a considerable investment and are underwater, such as myself, you are trapped. Trading large blocks will remain impossible unless crazy interest arrives with the release of the RD data. I've said since day one that if Cor's IP holds such inherent value then why is this board the only entity that supports that belief. The street certainly does not. A desperate big pharma industry certainly does not. No volume, no interest. Just another wayward dark ship in the night. I don't care what indication cor is targeting if there is obvious promise and millions to be made, big pharma would be watching and investing. Maybe Roger posts on this board with 10 different aliases determined to get unsuspecting investors such as myself to invest large sums of money to keep his 300k salary in tact. Stranger things have happened to me. Well I'm just disgruntled and a bit full of canadian whiskey at the moment, so just ignore the rant. But another delay or ambiguous data regardless of the reasoning surely would be deflating. The constant waiting is beyond sickening. Again, they must be working on something while the trials are in progress, right. Give us a press release on anything, Roger's recent colonoscopy results...anything. At least entertain me for my 400k roll of the dice. The promise is always just over the horizon, sure it is Roger sure it is. Enjoy your retirement, I'll be working 10 years longer thanks to Cor. Peace out Cor fanatics. See you in August or maybe November, either way I'm sure the story will remain the same. Now I feel better.
Aiming,
I'm one of those lop-sided cowboys of which you speak. With regards to Cor's SP, it certainly seems that the bad news far outweighs the good. We'll take a 70% hit again on bad data, luckily a double on good, but a far cry from the losses we've incurred over the past few years. The overly optimistic sentiment here seems to have waned again. Cor has a way of doing that. It's the constant waiting and speculating that gets the best of me. Our patience rewarded, should good news occur, with the constant fear of a looming and predictable financing.
O.T. The markets seem to be strengthening. I think we are still due for another substantial retraction however. I wish I had enough funds available to take part of the recent run-up. With my stores, I still see constant inflation and I think the federal minimum wage increase will indirectly add fuel to that fire. The unemployment and housing data, I think will also continue to be negative for many more months. IMO the bears will continue to prevail in the second half of '08. It's going to be difficult to inject dollars into the US economy without deflating the dollar even further. Kay sa ra sa ra...
