Insurance isn't all that exciting,
but it sure has been profitable over the years.
When it hit 42 i sold off about 70%..
Remembering the protracted short attack....Boy was that a mistake
Yup, that's the ugly part.
And if the market crashes, we are hung out to dry on a rainy day.
But if they do recover their prior growth rate, as is likely,
then this will look cheap.
Look at the PE ratio!
They have a decent pipeline and are looking to acquire more,
Hearty R&D, and they have lots of cash
I bought more.
In the context of that video on sigma 1 receptors...
And in light of the company's enthusiastic willingness
to speculate on a wide range of neuro diseases AVXL can cure...
It's almost surprising that we haven't stepped forward to
cure cocaine addiction.
Perhaps i'm an hour early....Or months late.
This board is obviously moribund; but iv'e held PRXL for a bunch of years , buying in at around $10, and it's treated me very well in the long run.
I only wish my other holdings did as well!
Don't ignore this stock!
Yup, CMG sure got beat up by something that could happen to any similar business.
Looks like they have the problem well in hand now and the public's memory is short. My guess is that we're near bottom.
I'm buying back in to ride the rebound.
Thank you Deckheight:
Somehow i missed that and it makes a lot of difference!
That's very encouraging.
It means that we have enough $ to advance our other constructs significantly.
Thanks for the reconsideration Jimmy:
Weighing the relative values of tragedies is a thankless task.
Perhaps that there is a chance of recovery from cancer,
but none with ALZ is more telling.
AVXL seems to offer the only hope in sight.
It's still a long bet, but i'm going for it.
Thanks Mich; Once was enough.
I didn't tell the 1/2 of it.
My point was that it's different for each patient.
We're betting that AVXL can ease ALZ.
The strategy of pushing a number of constructs forward at once infers that we expect to be able to finance those trials in the near future.
There's a pretty good argument for going it alone as we get to keep all the profits...But the expense of a ph 3 trial is staggering.
We are getting some help and we have some cash, but costs are soon to be very large.
Quite possibly my cancer treatments were more protracted and severe than yours...I hope so. I had no remaining dignity when it was finally over. The surgeries literally gutted me and the experimental chemo was extremely harsh leaving me with neurological and endocrinological damage. Many serious errors were made.Serious depression lasted for years, etc.
ALZ seems to vary between individuals, except for periods of agitation, depression, anger, etc. Some seem by in large to be rather serene much of the time .
So, personal experiences are quite variable. Which is why i doubt that generalizations on their relative, um, merits are supportable.
Still, i'm long here in the fervent hope that we have part of the solution.
Apologies, we got sidetracked here.
Perhaps i'm just simple....
But if the news was leaked, then that should have resulted in buying and a consequent PPS rise....Not the opposite.
The PPS doesn't rise or fall on the wishes of the shorts.
Please explain Blue-eyes.
I see this board is moribund..sigh.
The stock has been on a rip ever since crawling out of the depths of the orchestrated short attack it suffered.
If you bought then at around 16, then you'd enjoy the present PPS of $53.
RR, the pres, is a genius at both software and successful acquisition melding.
I stupidly took a major profit at around $42 but it's still growing briskly.
The Wolbachia bacteria can potentially help in this fight but it's a variable % proposition, much like our Oxitech offering.
There is some early indication of both the mosquitoes and the disease organisms eventually developing resistance.
Wolbachia is apt to be cheaper and more politically acceptable.
There are a number of checkpoint inhibitors out there.
I think CGEN has identified a dozen or so ....But can't get anybody to invest in them.
My guess is that a tumor specific, genetically determined, cluster of checkpoint inhibitors, combined with our constructs would show dramatic results.
Successfully fighting cancer is a multiple modality proposition.
Presently, we tend to try this, and when it doesn't produce a complete cure, we dawdle around and then try that, allowing the tumor to mutate it's way around each medicine. I see that as a mistake.
Instead,we should be attacking the tumor in multiple ways at once, to the extent the patient can tolerate it.
Sour old Ironyworks too...grin.
Want to thank you James' for you excellent postings over the years.
Jaxstraw: your good works are appreciated!
Access to admin here is a fine thing.
Now, if Ihub only offered a portfolio.....
ADXS sank considerably today, but the most of rest of my small bios did too.
AS a recent yahoo refugee, i want to thank our excellent moderator here,
Jack Straw, for rendering the board civilized. A great relief!
Respectfully, while we have enjoyed some encouraging indications,
This is not a small gamble.
There is a very good chance we will fail like all the many other promising ALZ drug candidates have failed before ours.
I find it worth the risk ,because the potential upside is so enormous.
But let's keep a realistic perspective.
This seems the right place to invest all the $ i can afford to lose...plus a little.
This bounce seems to be in response to the Seeking Alpha article laying out the positive case for the company..Didn't see anything new in it, just a strong, coherent presentation.
It's reasonable to think it'll start sinking again till the next insubstantial slap or goose moves it disproportionately.
If they can hold on long enough, the scientific results will make or break us.
As a layman with considerable experience in metals..i tried to make sense of the patent filings above...and they make little sense to me.
The armor described seemed to consist of a bunch of Aluminum and titanium sheets sandwiched together with fiberglass in a thermo setting resin,with ground fool's gold, silver,brass and copper granules interspersed.No carbon nanotubes that i saw.
The temperatures are much too low for the metals to alloy and multilayer sheet metal and fiberglass armor isn't novel.
My reaction is WTF?
Further,no financial info seems to be available.
What am i missing here?
