Out of the Mouth of Babes
I was afraid to reply directly to exceptional wisdom here that even frightens me because of the high level of illiteracy hereabouts that pretends a higher knowledge of fairy chess and checkers that demonstrates an even worse knowledge of checkers:
Out of the mouth of babes from Dictionary.com: Young and inexperienced persons often can be remarkably wise...
To paraphrase crudely, the babe offers: Trust in Lebby.
Of course I am always uncomfortable with profundity in this vale of pride and deceit that pronounces a busted technology from Gigapoo was a sweet buy at a rummage sale.
Gold is where you find it I guess.
Our half-breed, middle-aged Border Collie rose from her death bed caused by osteoarthritis and is reverting to the energetic, pain-free, feisty ways of puppyhood from a miracle drug.
A Minnesota cowboy offered to punch my face in for telling such whoppers while the unique veterinarian biotech that got FDA approval has bought full world-wide rights to additional world wide IP from a Japanese corporation as initially from Eli Lilly that includes possible human use. My crippled wife prays for such relief while giving the dog her daily pill. Neither of the two Dumbos selling rights to the drug had done anything with it it appears.
My son's life was saved in an emergency room years ago by a doctor sewing up his liver from a car crash. The doc told us our son was very lucky. The ability to sew up livers was only recently developed. I didn't want to know how to sew up a liver but was very glad somebody could.
Back about the time Red Skelton was taking his very young son on a worldwide tour before he died of then always certainly fatal juvenile leukemia, a doctor in a hospital where I first met my wife told me: "We are going to cure that sucker." "Yeah right," I said.
Since that time a young neighborhood girl with juvenile leukemia on the wrong side of the continent where we now live has grown up, got married, moved away and had kids who are also grown up and moved away.
Hey, maybe Lebby's rummage sale special wasn't worth the high cost pennies from the LPC vulture but I am betting it is while still doubtful.
On the side for X's and THE ADMIRAL's learning, it is far harder to become a checkers master than a chess master because of the enormous memorization required and hardly worth the trouble. When Bobby Fischer was playing Boris Spassky for the World Chess Championship and ten million dollars [which was actual money at the time], a challenger for the World Checker Championship was trying to raise a required few hundred dollars.

Koog,
You present yourself as a glib arbiter of truth. Your ad hominem attacks...
Perhaps you would like to address the question of why you continue to use the deceitful, ignorant junk term marijuana in addressing questions of medicine alongside full bore personal attacks.
INSY is, and always has been, a pharmaceutical company even in its distant past in Chicago under another alias without any cannabinoid or opioid R&D or sales as best I can recall.
Would you now like to finally address the question of why a pharmaceutical biotech is under ferocious attack by ignoramuses, propagandists, politicians, reporters, courts and others while the producers of street drugs are only now beginning to surface in the popular media? Subsys is not a street drug.
That INSY played the usual promotion games of all drug companies with sales in America [in much of Europe such ham-handed promotion is strictly forbidden] very well and perhaps too well is undeniable.
Desist from the smears and we can talk pleasantly however much we might still disagree.

Game7,
The completion of the 100K genome sequences sounds to me like a great achievement on its face but my extraordinarily divergent view is that there is enormous potential for abuse.
For example, the first use that comes to mind is for cancer but cancers are even more individual than fingerprints and when you have the atrocities of spurious races - for instance the original scientific categorization of a caucasoid race had a far greater and darker-skin population outside Europe's geographic boundaries than inside. The ignorant universal use of such features as pigmentation used for fully imaginary races has a heavy cost in life and morbidity. [Can even the divines of the FDA and CDC and various other experts think the imaginary "African-American" NBA players have more in common with the Pygmies of Africa than their non-AA teammates or - even worse - the cheerleaders?]
All the blather aside, I think it can lead to better medicine as genomics progressively replaces the racism of regulators and legislators.

Meanwhile, they spent a Half Million Dollars to defeat decriminalized natural cannabis is Arizona (their domiciled state) in 2016 so they can peddle their homogenized synthetic version and rip off the populace.
Kooky nonsense.
Synthetic drugs are always preferable to biologics for standardization and purity.
There is no evidence presented of INSY doing any such thing as spend for the purported AZ political campaign though the former CEO and founder did donate years ago to keep the low-grade, non-registered "marijuana" drugs out of California. INSY deals only in pharmaceutical grade drugs.
The hysterical attacks on INSY's Subsys ignore the fact it is not a street drug and there is no other drug as capable of quickly relieving extreme pain in dying patients.
Is Koog trying to save souls or make money shorting a drug that is a godsend for many in agony along with family and friends suffering as well in sympathy? Humanity be damned huh, Koog?

Vastly more money than Frost even dreams of has been thrown down the antisense sinkhole. The attraction of an allogeneic cancer vaccine [vs. autologous] has not died at all.
Most notably AMGN is leading from way behind with a huge breakthrough in vaccine adjuvants:
https://www.amgenscience.com/the-shape-of-drugs-to-come/listeria-based-cancer-immunotherapy-treatment/
Meanwhile the scientific discoverer of the secrets of aging, telomeres, has spun off telomerase vaccines that may be applicable to some 80% of all cancers.
Will all the money be lost in black holes?
- Entirely possible but I am more interested in the ability to make immortal cancer cells mortal and then kill the suckers than imperfect scar patching.

Big Barney,
I commented about Dr. Paterson awhile ago. I wonder if she regrets her avenue of going public and not going to BP directly? I commented about Dr. Paterson awhile ago. I wonder if she regrets her avenue of going public and not going to BP directly? She definitely would have needed a real good attorney
Dr. Patersson had excellent attorneys in the patent area since the patents all belonged to the University of Pennsylvania. She tried for many years to get anybody to try to take her patents public which is how she got infringed by a clown who himself was defeated in Europe for his false claims that our superb patent office readily accepted.
A huge biotech boom, including cancer vaccines, came and went while Yvonne could only continue puttering away in her lab. The dumbos depend on innovators [small startups mainly] to go first. Always the same.
Dr. Ribi was succeeding in going public on his own with a forerunner when he was killed in a plane crash. Presumably Paterson didn't have the same cachet. Ribi's vaccine adjuvant was eventually picked up as rummage by GSK that now has a star adjuvant that has powered many vaccines including the breakthrough malaria vaccine.
Ribi's adjuvant was even approved to cure horse cancers without an antigen.
Paterson's adjuvant is almost certainly far superior but it needs decent management such as that provided by PETX.

Hi, Traderbx.
Thanks for the memories but I am just hanging onto my massacred shares from the past with dreamy hopes ADXS will show its stuff or sell out its grotesquely underrated science to the like of PETX that will be marketing the science that ADXS is abandoning whenever the Agriculture bureaucrats decide it is long past time to stop stalling the osteosarcoma vaccine for dogs.
In the meantime our Border Collie that was on her deathbed a few months ago from osteoarthritis is running around like a young pup while my wife is grotesquely crippled by the same disease. On the box of the veterinary pills for dogs requiring a prescription is a warning the pills are for dogs only while PETX has licensed remaining rights to the drug worldwide, including humans, from a Japanese company that seemed to be doing little more than sitting on the drug.
Don't get me wrong. PETX too is in a precarious financial position. It had to bow to the whims of an "activist investor fund" that demanded PETX take dubious advice from modern day sophists [MBA's} who have studied leadership from professors who couldn't make a living at useful work.
But I cotton to drugs that work rather than leadership that doesn't.
Just my contrary thinking.
All the best to you and all who have entrusted their funds to clowns. My money is still there too and will live or die there.

Stroke of genius ridding ADXS of its pivotal trial AIM2SERVE with a charity paying expenses after more than a decade of powerful evidence of efficacy.

why was this stock at $40 - $50 bucks/share about 4 years ago... and now a buck and change?
Through flawed technology or incompetent management or both, OPTT's efforts to develop utility-scale wave power fields off-shore collapsed.
Bureaucratic intransigence beginning in Oregon played a significant role as may well have happened elsewhere. Rather oddly the arguably most innovative state in the nation has bureaucrats that are among the most stiff-necked on earth. It also drove Chevron with a budding interest in geothermal power out of Oregon and consequently the U.S.
Chevron found open arms in Asia and became a world leader in geothermal power until Chevron sold more recently its entire geothermal operations in order to deal with its troubled petroleum empire.
The autonomous wave robot was discussed for years but nothing much was done beyond collecting data from an isolated power generator in New Jersey offshore waters.
Hope the robot has better luck. I don't think there is anything wrong with the fundamental idea of wave power that has done well in isolated niches.

Would you still be pushing hyaluronic acid if you knew it was made from roosters' combs?
Thank you for thinking about my wife but I have been suggesting to her there has got to be something else to try.
I can't find that something else myself. Nice the clinic has wheel chairs so she won't have to walk the few feet in to get another shot tomorrow. The nurse practitioner says that sometimes there's just a bad reaction. Time after time?? Why wasn't there a bad reaction in the other knee where everything started?
Well you know how those things can go.
I want her to push harder to get more answers, see if maybe she can see a doctor rather than a practitioner, ask about Ampion nearing approval for osteo but only works for some, etc, etc. and she wants me to butt out and put her socks and shoes on.
Gets tougher as you get older but the alternative is worse.

sabaidii2,
barring a deal, expect dilutions on a regular basis. Btw, reverse splits occur annually after the dilutions force the share price under $1/share. NASDAQ gives companies one year get it back above $1. RXI knows the procedure quite well - as do the unfortunate share holders.
Sounds so inviting.
And yet the science has a most unusual wrinkle that has attracted even Phillip Frost, the Warren Buffett of Biotech. That is, of course, delivery of the messenger killer into the cells delivering bad proteins.
Antisense has been a black hole for cash for over half a century and RXII holds a patent that claims an answer to a terrible riddle that has bedeviled the science for all that time just as it seems to be offering other hope.
What think you of that, Sabaidii2?
Not much, I would guess, but thought I might ask anyway. Not so many candid folk on message boards.

You mean to say we didn't need to fight the Korean War for tungsten? That was an article of faith among Progressives in the past that Bernie Sanders rejected in Vermont. Now he calls himself a progressive and runs as a socialist while European Socialists tell him his views of socialism are a crock.
Life is so confusing.
Cobalt was widely used in higher grade glass, dinnerware and pottery for its bright blue color while poisoning workers.
The newer (and greatly inferior) cobalt blue reproductions from Asia may no longer poison workers but sure don't help the price and popularity of vintage pieces.

Thank you, Ahab.
This response is quite on-topic for the science of Michael West.
My sister who not only has rheumatoid arthritis but inherited osteoporosis characteristic of Viking descendants, a heritage [Swedish]that was always angrily denied in the past, was peeved by hearing osteo- was worse than her rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a terrible auto-immune disease. How could osteo be worse she wanted to know.
The immune system that saves us from a host of diseases and pathogens becomes a fiery dragon itself with aging. It's hardly easy to deal with auto-immune disease but another one that took a terrible toll on my family and even my wife's [and my wife] family was rheumatic fever. It has been reduced to a rare disease in industrialized countries with knowledge gained of the immune system. My sister suffered grievously in her teenage years from that monster too.
But osteo is the result of aging. Tired bones and worn cartilage decay and crumble and what to do?
A singular "miracle" drug has let our Border Collie get off her deathbed and run around like a pup by simply keeping the synovial fluids flowing to the joints that NSAID's and steroids dry up.
What the hell is holding up the human version?!?
I haven't named the vet drug because it is very new, has many side effects for a hefty percentage of dogs and needs testing for longterm effects.
Aging, you say?

I lived through the entire rise of Stanford Ovshinsky, an untutored physicist who became quite wealthy along with his followers on claims of scientific wonders to come without a dime of product sales for 38 years.
It still seems like a fairy tale only small children would believe but, in fact long after his death, Ovshinsky's scientific theories are still revolutionizing our world.

I thought Ovshinsky a clown.
At least I never bet against Stanford despite my cynicism.

What's causing the share price to jump to 2.52 this morning, anyone?
I sure don't think it's the announcement that non-opioid pain relief after surgery on dogs is to be tested for surgery on cats.
In an overly long life I don't ever recall meeting anyone who had ever heard or read mention of surgery on cats beyond neutering and we have never worried for a micro-second about our cats or dogs becoming addicted to any drug.
Beyond that and despite the superstitious belief in an omniscient market, I tend to favor predicting market price movements are no more more rational than movements of lunatics in adjoining padded rooms.
Given that, I would like to believe that rational thought is impressed by the approval and marketing of a true wonder drug in Galliprant that will be followed by the approval of a wonder drug for osteosarcoma despite the ignorant long stall by the Agriculture Department staff - not that I would ever dare look down on bureaucrats.
Last I heard Eli Lilly had said Galliprant had become the second best selling vet drug for osteoarthritis despite feverish denials of value. Our mail order supplier rated it worse than a generic.
Just a thought for you. The payment to the Japanese company for access to their patents for the same drug worldwide has possible enormous implications.
Then again I like to dream.

Biomarkers/Epidemiology/Outcomes - presented at ASCO
https://tinyurl.com/yb36twku
I probably don't need to tell anyone here that ASCO is the premier scientific showcase of cancer treatments presented in America and probably the world.
A pre-specified statistical model based on four kallikrein markers in blood to predict advanced pathology on radical prostatectomy.
This is a presentation of the 4kscore test followed by:
Analysis of genomic alterations in matched circulating tumor cell DNA (CTC DNA) and plasma tumor DNA (ctDNA) in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)...
Detailed Description:
The study will construct a multi-center clinical database of men before and after treatment with abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, and taxane chemotherapy, and will comprehensively analyze CTC DNA for copy gains/losses and whole exome sequencing for acquired mutations, CTC RNA for AR-variants and evidence of epithelial plasticity, and plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for whole exome sequencing. Significantly, the investigators will pair the presence of key proposed circulating biomarkers of treatment resistance with patient outcomes on these systemic therapies for the purpose of developing predictive biomarkers that may have direct clinical utility in guiding choice of therapies....
Ahhh, what the joys of being a medical experiment must be.
https://tinyurl.com/ybvrgdyw
Much of this has been done before but even the like of Warren Buffett in his 80's when the vast majority of men have indolent prostate cancer panicked at the terror word cancer and demanded a radical prostatectomy against his doctor's advice according to the doc.
Are your president and your congress critters and lawyers pining to be judges better at reading scientific abstracts and white papers or amounts of dollar in political contributions?
Doesn't seem to me even a close call but wasn't Frost astute enough to know all that?
That is left as homework for the reader.
For myself, I sure hope Frost wins but that's not what I bet on.

LWLG is not a sludgy old cash cow with little need to accommodate explosive growth that LWLG expects from a zero product sale base.
Warren Buffett has surprisingly built a grand empire on such stocks but LWLG must succeed in rapid growth or become, at best, a zombie.
Possible - possible, I say - LWLG can avoid hefty expenses for brick and mortar, equipment and landscaping by simply hiring manufacturing for the heavy labor here or abroad but other talent from the lowly flacks to high-priced patent lawyers and scientists don't come cheap. Saving on the costs of necessary growth is a recipe for disaster in high tech.
LWLG will have to dump the vulture sooner or later or pay an enormous penalty at best.
Right now I believe LWLG should be priced much higher. A captain of a ship should have the sense pull up anchor and I believe Lebby soon will despite the costly delay.

Hetty Green became very rich by, among other things, taking bologna sandwiches to work, using San Francisco cable cars to carry vast sums of cash to banks, and caring for her son's broken foot herself when a doctor refused to treat him as a charity case leaving him a cripple for life.
I have no way of knowing if your aunt was the most generous and magnificent of ladies or another version of the fabled Witch of Wall Street who left her son a vast fortune to help with the life of a cripple but I surely congratulate your aunt on turning pennies into billions if she did anything of the kind.
My model for investing is Phillip Frost, the Warren Buffett of Biotech who has taken heavy flak for about a decade because of his investing style from his last project that is beginning to show outlines of the same genius hated by analysts the like of Jim Cramer who once lived in his pickup with his finger on the trigger of his .32 at night until his bad advice style made him a media sensation.
A better model, of course, is Michael Lebby but all I know about him is his bent for science that is mostly detested hereabouts.
I am at a loss for the forgotten name of a much earlier photonics investor who made himself a billionaire investing in penny optical cable stocks that were all in bankruptcy or near there. Since our hero knew nothing about photonics which had not yet been invented he bought stock in all of them.
Those pennies really did add up to billions.

My Aunt always said the pennies make the dollars.
My father said my mother could have saved money in a concentration camp. In fact an international gold and silver trader first learned his trade in a Rom section of a Nazi concentration camp. [See Bury Me Standing, Because I Have Spent My Life On My Knees]
If you don't know who the Rom are, they are better known as, psst gypsies. That is a forbidden word because of ignoramuses who would send them back to Egypt [they are thought to have originated from a carnival troupe in India - about as likely IMO as most any Rom story appreciated most for its color rather than truth]. I hate the hideous duplicity but would be most foolish to deny the extreme prejudice against Rom.
Rom, tightwads, misers and trading folk like Buffett [who denies his trading] are able to make real money from scraps but few of us have the concentration and dedication.
The low volume and continued happy talk while feeding the vulture continues suggest to me the the rocket engines are far yet from ignition.

Hi, IveBeenBagged.
"The United States leads the world in the amount of electricity generated with geothermal energy..."
And the vast majority is from the drilling of B. C. McCabe who has been disappeared by your government but not from the memory of those who are knowledgeable about the industry. 2nd and 3rd are Mexico and The Philippines - not exactly known for their industrial might. The greatest recent expansion is in a country beset by war, rebellion, corruption and a turn to dictatorship - Turkey. Rwanda, Ethiopia as well as Nicaragua and Kenya are going balls out for geothermal.
And America where it all really began [though first demonstrated on a small scale in Italy}? Pffffttt.
Photonics is not new either but some are aware.
As for the manmade nukes, the source of geothermal energy is the same with the power to tear landmasses apart and put on a scary demonstration in Hawaii but the relatively dinky variety is mostly a danger to humans. One of my sons was a Navy nuke with some frightening stories to tell that your government and your admiral won't.
As for making money on a stock, I fully admit all manner of hair-brained ideas can succeed brilliantly. Do you want me to tell you again about the Franklin Mint?

There is no need to poison the planet further with nuclear waste when Mother Earth radiates far more energy out into space every day more energy from her internal sun than all that utilized by all life on the planet just as computers one day will no longer be endangering the planet and its inhabitants with outmoded electronics instead of cool photons.
Geothermal power is known to have been used by North American inhabitants as long as 12,000 years ago for cooking. Now we are going to learn to cool things down with photons.

Dutch-Investor,
LWLG has a solution
Had a solution you mean.
A tiny, isolated island in the Atlantic will still not lose its booming data base business as LWLG's business explodes. In fact Iceland's geothermal power generation will still have plenty of room left to expand it's banana plantation and cable power to the U.K. finally if a deal is reached despite Britain's ability to supply its own power.
LWLG's technology at present can do a lot to help with pressure on power needs but far from all that is required such as the enormous cooling bill and increasing destabilization of grids from intermittent energy sources.
And that's where far greater penetration of photonics in computing comes in and the most available source of power on earth that also happens to be both baseload and the cheapest of all needs to be rediscovered in spite of the fossil fuel monopolists.

When there is real news from the Lab, including testing from independent sources, the stock will go up by dollars and volume will be in the millions.
I expect first news of confirmatory success in testing by labs of one or more prospective customers to come from a sharp rise in the stock price.
Of course that could be an orchestrated bull trap, a false alarm, the usual machinations and inexplicable movements of an unthinking non-entity imagineered as a living being.
Dreams of an independent testing lab providing guidance absent bloodhounds having sniffed out news early seem far fetched to me. I don't think any such testing will ever occur in the first place except as confirmatory testing between competitive claims.
I will give you one very important credit, Pit. If you are hanging on to your money waiting for a time for the Big Buy, you may have to wait a long time to break even relatively risk-risk-free but your longer term profits could be enormous.

From the Forbes link:
Hemp and marijuana are both varietals of the cannabis plant. While the former does not have psychoactive properties
Not precisely true like nearly everything said about Cannabis.
A farmer growing hemp commercially for government testing and demonstration purposes said crops were monitored for percentage of THC. Some crops would be found to have more than the predetermined allowable quantity. They had to be destroyed.
What is tested for is only THC though numerous other psychoactive substances are suspected but no one knows and testing is enormously diofficult and expensive because of government regulation.
Anyone interested in doing research on cannabinoids would probably still be well advised to go to another country. Rather bizarrely Canada may be that country today as Canada seems about to fully legalize marijuana for adult use.

We waited weekly in freezing winters at an airport in Upstate New York for another set of tapes from DARPA but COMIC just laughed at us. The crew from DARPA that trained us in its use romoved the control instructions before leaving us maybe as a security procedure. It was like General Motors trying to sell the Nova in South America that in Spanish says "it won't go."
At least you guys won half a war so maybe you are right in spite of all my experience and purported logic.

Looking back, Xrouter, I am far from pleased I volunteered for Vietnam.

and as a young fool I thought it only odd she would admire a glorification of war. I was too stupid to know it was the precise reverse.
Some of us are only capable of learning the hard way.
Be well, friend, and congratulations on your good fortune.

Memorial Day is not a fine day for this old veteran. I made a sob-sister post elsewhere on a photonics R&D stock MB that is far more fitting to the science of telomeres except that the photonics now nearing early glory IMO was foreseen more fully over half a century ago.
Hopefully BTX will not be delayed nearly as long.
I substituted only BTX for the symbol of the photonics company below which is not fully fitting at all:
My nomination for the greatest ad ever made - by science-despising vampire-hunting con artists that provide us with a bounteous harvest of blind children not to mention a holocaust of starvation for the greater profit of Big Agriculture.

Feel free to argue that protecting the world from science is a worthy goal as censors permit but my thesis is about science too long delayed by superstitious nonsense.
On this fine Memorial Day honoring us veterans by demanding more death and lifelong disability from the younger people on the fringes of society, I wonder if it might not be better to work on preserving science rather than pointless destructive war.
Little is being done by BTX today that was not envisioned [and more] over half a century ago.
Why does it take so long?
Tell me what you think if it is allowed here. I have told you far too often what I think.

Obviously, BTX's telomere science was foreshadowed only by science-fiction.
