IP-so it's will come down to test results to irrefutably disprove Berman's flawed-theory device. Humiliating OR high-level vindication. I know which way your head is shaking.Someone has to demonstrate carpets don't fly even if one assumes a yoga position in the sweet spot of the rug.
Appears Berman drew out a large cadre of whistleblowers believing this was a recognizable pattern of behavior with DECN. I remain of the school that no one would knowingly submit for EUA a totally fake device. One with questionable 'authenticity' and accuracy perhaps. Can a tiger change its stripes?
One of the finest HERO to ZERO stories here. Berman was in possession of a sketchy profile. A Nobel-worthy nominee now reviled as a scam artist par excellence. Pluto will be demanding proof!
IP-by inference, you are suggesting Berman is sufficiently unscrupulous as to make the substantial effort to submit to the FDA for EUA, while he himself is not convinced the underlying science is capable of effecting claimed results.
You IMO appear sufficiently qualified to refute Beman's claims with cogency. As a result-it is difficult for many here to comprehend that anyone (especially a self-claimed 40-years-in-the-business type such as Berman) could be this specious, exploiting the urgency for rapid and reliable testing for personal financial gain. Simply incredible.
Are we waiting on a Monday morning update or was that also BS?
It would be wholesale deception writ large to make a claim of test results in 15 seconds with 97-98% accuracy of results by means of a specious underlying scientific basis. Furthermore, to claim manufacturing capability is at the ready to supply hundreds of millions of kits-would put Berman’s claim in a league of its own.
It’s inconceivable that anyone would knowingly go to these lengths of deception. Bigger heists have been foisted, but not under the guise of ushering humanity out of a pandemic fix.
This would be a high-speed Theranos/Lizzy Holmes-style debacle.
As to accuracy, I recall Berman stating accuracy in one of his hyperbolic releases as 97-98%.
Goldie-happy for your perfect parachute play on Wednesday. I unloaded 200K that day, reloaded half that yesterday. I’m OK with that hedge.
UNDENIABLY-a lot of dead presidents was made-and lost in the blinding blizzard of DECN hype. The forecast:cloudy and chance of showers.
Oily-lets see who comes to Berman’s defense, demanding proof. If she doesn’t, she was in on the grand deceptions. Mr. Sensi, Daryclone-laugh ‘till you cry.
If Berman truly believes in the provenance of DECN’s test, he will not be deterred and continue with compliance testing. IMO, he is the sole indicator. It’s difficult to believe he would be deceiving shareholders of Korea-based line-ready production capabilities. If he’s lying in this respect, he’s lost any and all of mine.
pastry-gotta wonder who made out on the over-the-cliff drop to .21 yesterday. Handcuffs, and not golden ones.
Disappointment is no stranger to DECN. Deception too.
And plutonium nominates KB for a Nobel Prize. How or why would anyone knowingly scam investors trying to sell flying carpets during a situation of emergency evacuation?
Here come all the after-the-fact “told you so”s. Why May 7th?
Berman is MASTERFUL at writing cliff-hanging weekly scripts and story development. The season finale in this mini-series should be early summer 2020. May be delayed due to ongoing COVID-19 social distancing impediments. Stay tuned.
Hey goldie! Another veteran DECN alum I recall. I too sold almost half my position in confidence they’ll be available tomorrow at “day-old” prices. Too much irrational exuberance today. GLTY.
If news was stratospherically good, we'd know. It won't be. But neither will it be jaw-dropping bad. IMO.
Can someone post DtC short interest on DECN?
cvinvestor-this is signature Bermanesque communication style, perfected during the very protracted JnJ diabetic strip debacle. Written like a who-dun-it classic to froth up suspense and anticipation. This is IMO slow-flashing amber light time for shareholders.
Why tell someone you’re going to tell them something? It’s either a tease or a buffer to less than stellar news. Or both.
“... on issues concerning the progress of our GenViro!”
IOW-we’re experiencing headwinds. IMO.
IP-"Because I am extremely doubtful that there is even a DECN technology - let alone a product ..."
I believe there is a product, with you most cogent narrative, I'm not convinced their is an authentic underlying technology.
OT-just curious in your spelling of "laboring". An interesting clue.
Here’s to confinement and all-day happy hour made! Bottom up.
pastry-some of us, including DoubleB459 and KSV can recall how many tens of K dollars you diverted into Berman’s quest to slay Goliath. Here’s to all that scratch boomeranging for ya a decade later!
pluto-on this we agree:"There is no bargaining with these bureaucrats, you either fight them to the death, or you accept them."
Frank Lloyd Wright nailed these custard pies to the wall when he pronounced: "bureaucrats: dead at 40, buried at 60."
Sunday morning WTF.
“ The Food and Drug Administration has allowed about 90 companies, many based in China, to sell tests that have not gotten government vetting, saying the pandemic warrants an urgent response. But the agency has since warned that some of those businesses are making false claims about their products; health officials, like their counterparts overseas, have found others deeply flawed.
Tests of “frankly dubious quality” have flooded the American market, said Scott Becker, executive director of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. Many of them, akin to home pregnancy tests, are easy to take and promise rapid results”
Testing testing testing...
“Every governor in America has been pushing and fighting and clawing to get more tests not only from the federal government but from every private lab in America and from all across the world and we continue to do so," Hogan added.
Interesting. Fidelity $2.00 at current pps.
Do tell what brokerage allows GTC, AON limit at $20.00.
2 bucks doable.
oily-we well know DECN to be a Maytag delight washing machine. Front loaded, tumble dry. I do though belleve this cycle, DECN will have a role to play. We'll be occupying a different world when we get back on our feet. Middle seats a thing of the past...
Superb context framing and perspective pointofend. If Berman’s claim of results accuracy is reliable-it’s peerless.
This same poster in April 7th said:
“ Feels like FDA/EUA approval will come this week!!
Good on you nonseq! No wonder you have a leg up in this chase for the golden assay. Onward.
nonseq-now here's one for the veteran DECN crowd: you announced your engagement during the salad days of DECN David vs. Goliath days. Trust the story unfolded as aspired and you're living happily ever after.
Just as DECN shareholders will/would IF Mr. Berman gets a pass from the bouncers at the FDA.
The old familiar tug-o-war pastry! It would be a Berman classic to release news this weekend much in advance of Monday's bell. He loves the carp feeding frenzy...
pastry-Berman actually looks quite becoming in glass slippers. Lord knows he’s spent enough time in the basement. Let’s hope Cinderfella doesn’t lose one on the steps. Midnight coming soon.
Underreported chunk of the globe: Latin America.
While governments from Europe to the U.S. have been criticized for not rolling out tests fast enough, the lack of kits in Latin America dwarfs anything seen in more developed parts of the world and underscores the trouble nations are facing as everyone competes to secure medical supplies.
