WB, Citrati, Trunkmock, you guys are like a master's degree in charting & trading nugt-dust. Sticking around for my Ph.D. while on death watch for the big dump on WSt. Thanks to all of you.
$AUY guidance looks decent w/ $1350 gold, any higher it can go bonkers. Higher silver & copper prices will sweeten the pot. 4q mixed results probably coloring AH action. For all the miners it's all about a weak dollar combined with major move in nat resources overall in 2018. It's setting up nicely for AUY and MUX methinks.

From Marketwatch: Gold prices climbed sharply Wednesday as Trump administration comments favoring a weaker dollar knocked the U.S. currency to three-year lows and buoyed the yellow metal.
Gold at 1352

It began with a series of earthquakes deep below the earth's surface, starting on March 20, 1980. I was the wire editor at a Midwestern daily newspaper, back in the pre-Internet days when news was moved via teletype code punched into a continuous paper tape. An attendant cut, rolled and numbered the tapes and the wire editor chose the stories of the day by selecting the printouts that corresponded to the respective numbered tapes. (There was none of this point-and-click stuff back then.) On May 18, 1980, the eruption of Mount St. Helens sent volcanic ash, steam, water and debris to a height of 60,000 feet (18,288 meters), while the mountain lost 1,300 feet (396 meters) of altitude. I remember this as one of the biggest stories in many decades.
Perhaps such an eruption is simmering here.

Anybody notice the golden cross? Usually portends a bullish phase.
I'd like to add my voice to the many who have spoken so highly of our departed friend. I thank CJ for notifying us, and Stoneroad for his compassionate words. Prayers to the family and friends of a man whose intellectual depth and humanity touched us all.
I agree and applaud your efforts.
Good things are happening beneath the shroud of PPHMystery. I'd bet 101 bucks on it.
IMO serious investors do not consult Wiki about investment decisions. Nor should they. Wiki is Cliff's Notes of the internet. If that's what it took to get you through undergrad, then by all means, worry about Wiki. I think it's a non-issue. My question would be: Why edit it now? Coincidence? (See Rule 39).
From Sheff's board:
Suntrust notes on BMY catalysts in 2016. Provides some color on lung market. That 3- to 4-year delay for Bavi is proving to be quite lucrative. (sorry, couldn't copy the text)

I do see random coincidences and find humor . . .
Gibbs' Rule No. 39: There is no such thing as coincidence.
Golfho, you should complain, up here in the Great White North we play golf until November sometimes in 40 degrees (in snow flurries), with gloves on. Cry me a river! You have 14 on ignore? I have 5 on ignore but I'm going to go to "paid" status and join you at 14 plus. BTW, thanks much for your detailed work with the projections and with fighting the FUD. We definitely need you on the team.
Yup, you're right geo. Quite the transformation.
But really, let's face it: facts are passé anyway.
In the Facebook Era, all that is relevant is opinion. Politicians figured this out long ago. Perception is reality, correct? You can deliver a stunning speech with fact after fact after blow your mind fact, but if you're not wearing a $5,000 merino wool suit and have beautifully coiffed hair, then no one will care. In our new age of reality, facts are highly overrated. The idea is to find someone to alter the perception that the facts convey. Or if you have criminal intent, hire someone to sabotage the data upon which the facts are built.
Peregrine has been paddling its kayak upriver through the Snake Canyon. The finish line is about 10 kilometers upstream. Find a swirling eddy for a brief rest and an energy bar, then go like hell to the tape. History will be written, yesterday's facts will be supplanted with the new. Five-thousand dollar suits? Maybe not.

I don't know, North, Wild Turkey is about as upscale as I can get, unless I were to get my hands on some of Loofman's Pure Kentucky Korn Likker.
North, care to share the formula?
Thanks, Loof. Yes, one of our board prophets, wannabe-excalibre, would have us believe writing and submitting the BLA is an impossible objective for a lowly, inexperienced, fourth-class company such as PPHM. Sadly, our newly crowned King of the Disbelievers, Volgoat, has tasted the venom and is rife with short-sighted commentary in agreement with the X-man. If I were to see the Goat start dissing the Volunteers, whoa, then I'd really be worried;. That would be the canary in the mine, as it were.
Meantime, I keep reminding that Opdivio, X-man's shining star (and paycheck?), went from P3 approval to licensing in, what?, 3 month?? So, don't tell me it can't be done.
Besides, while I'm waiting I'm able to sip wonderfully pure tequila, Tennessee whiskey and, on occasion, pure Kentucky korn likker. It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it.
Pain? Here's a summary:
PPHM, down 0.024, 2.33%
Dow, down 390, 2.4%
S&P, down 41.5, 2.2%
Naz, down 126, 2.7%
Once again, PPHM has poisoned the well, leading the entire market into the sewer. Management must go! Soon the market cap will be less than the number of cheap options the BOD is sitting on. Off with their heads!
bobba, Naz delisting occurs when price slips below a buck and stays below for a given period (6mo?). Russell is not a delisting per se, but what happens is that Russell funds rebalance annually, June I think, and are required to sell those companies that no longer qualify for the stated Russell fund because they don't meet the required share price. Russell tracks small caps, mid caps, large caps etc. Fund companies offer Russell index funds based on market caps. Thi is a simplified explanation.
So men with breast cancer is a PPHM's target now?
don't think It can't happen. Close friend of mine, great college athlete in his day and now retired hoops coach, had breast cancer. he attacked it full-on, with surgery, radiation, chemo; it's gone, for now. wouldn't it be nice to throw some bavi at it instead?
Geez, Peregrine mgmt did it again -- Naz down 1%, Dow down 1%. Peregrine down 1%. These clowns are poisoning the entire financial system. In another month the Dow will be under 10,000 again. They can't do anything right. Off with their heads!
Cancer I/0 ETF -- CNCR -- down 5.76% today. Dow down 400, Naz 140. I guess we can blame that on Peregine management, too. Off with their heads!
Worked with Paul Carbone at UW Carbone Cancer Center, which, by the way, was named after him 10 years ago. That tells you the kind of person he was. Didn't know his son, but if he has half the brains and sociability of his dad, he's bound for greatness.
Attended the wake of a friend today who as a child escaped with family from the Nazi regime, but could not defeat a tougher enemy, cancer. So many such beautiful lives lost.
Hurry Peregrine.
On the PJ thingee, if factual, it’s nobigdeal. IMO PJ is a second, if not third, tier firm that just lost the brains behind coverage of the white-hot IO cancer sector. Then THLD implodes. And insult to injury PPHM does a major placement behind their backs. Duncan? Who knows, maybe he’s a goner. Yup, that leaves us with Roth, a fourth or fifth tier firm. Is a bridesmaid waiting to be asked? Maybe 101 has a theory. Myself, I’m a silver lining in the cloud type of guy.
Setbacks, delays, mis-steps, bad luck and, yes, sabotage have beleaguered this company since inception. This tends to annoy even our most loyal investors, especially those who are down 500 large. I like VG and (and Spank) now for their candor; I can forgive them their snark. They want progress and success and so do I.
Like many here I got sucked into the Black Monday vortex. I’ve averaged down and should be OK with any kind of pop. It’s all for the grandkids now. I was expecting to pick the fruit 10 years ago; maybe 10 years from now my grandsons will have a party when PP makes history. Maybe. Ya gotta have a dream.
Happy New Year to all. Best to you, especially, Krak.
Chey, the market overall is unstable right now. Oil is tanking (no pun intended), biotech has been very weak for the last month, the IO sector itself has been weak (check the new fund cncr), tax-loss selling season, etc. etc. etc. In this climate it may be difficult for pphm to make a break, short of some mind-blowing blockbusting announcement. Slow and steady will be fine for me in the meantime.
Hey, Dewd, that's the most insightful comment you've ever made here - and you can take that to the bank.
bobba, experience with pphm has shown there is no belief in the stock, therefore no price movement until a true catalyst comes along. my thinking is we'll get a bump on full enrollment, then retreat back to the mid 1.20s to 1.30s until real news hits, whenever that may be. So much for the pie-in-the-sky prognostications. maybe Kinger will give us a lift tomorrow, who knows? but with pphm you expect little to nothing and hope for something more.
sooooon . . .
and to Krak: blessings. Your irreverent and witty voice is always a breath of fresh air. keep a watch on the gray mailbox.
nh, thanks for sharing the glyphosate info. I have to admit I've used Roundup on my property, but never again. In summer I grow my own veggies with nature's amendments only but in winter I now will look to organic items only. with this info and the previous warnings about statins, maybe some of us old farts will live long enuf to see this company succeed.
HB-day, Wook. I hope you don't have to wait until retirement (like me) for this flower to blossom. (I think there's a variety that only blooms every 15 years.........who knew this would be it!)
THLD, one of the underappreicated companies on the podium w/ PPHM at PJ, missed its Ph3 endpoints, released PR on Sunday, down >$2 this morning premkt (from 3.34), doomsday scenario in play. That's one to the gut.

No mention of Bavi here but immuno-oncology news is spreading. Certainly, Bavi will be mentioned imminently as more articles of this kind reach the mainstream. (Sorry if this has been posted previously.)

Chey, how does a multi-billionaire totally fly below the media radar? Kinda like the post-Hollywood Howard Hughes. I wonder if he's a germ nut.... Maybe that explains the biotech interest? :)
Thanks for the KD backgrounder. I'm thinking perhaps he wants to stick it to the BP(s) who tried to scuttle our ship and make enormous profits in the process. Ya don't have to love the guy but you do kinda have to appreciate his genius.
Volgoat....Bookers, that would be KENTUCKY whiskey, would it not? Wuzzup with that?
Thank you, nuke, for laying out the Opdivo results very clearly. I completely agree with your statement:
It seems very clear to me that Opdivo ought to be shaking in its boots because Bavi+Docetaxel is clearly a threat all by themselves to equal Opdivos MOS numbers and if Bavi delivers on its pre-clincal ability to induce inate immunity to cancer then Opdivo's numbers are going to fade fast in impressiveness (all IMO).
This has been my frustration with another poster's tendency to misstate Opdivo's actual results. If I didn't know better I might conclude someone from BMS were composing those misleading statements, but, of course, that would be my impression and my impression only because I keep thinking, who stands to gain from from creating confusion with disinformation?
Nuke, I also want to thank you (and tradero, golfho and others) for your diligent effort to track and project the potential trajectory of the Ph III results. Here again, in my opinion, there seems to be an effort by some to create uncertainty, if not suspicion, as to the ability of the PPHM team to bring the trial to a timely, if not early, conclusion. For instance, as I look back upon Opdivo's approval path, I believe it went from Ph II conclusion (end 2014) to approval (March 2015) in 3 months, via various accelerated review methods also available to PPHM. Just saying . . .
And speaking of turkeys, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Go Packers.
exwannabe, as you are so quick to correct others' posts with your superior tone, let me point out the following:
The phrase, used correctly, is reductio ad absurdum
not
reducto to absurdium
As a statistics genius and former philosophy professor, you should know better. Oh, really, you aren't a statistics guru or philosophy prof? One would never know.
Hey, Spanky........If only someone had said "Toro Toro Toro" back in Sept. 2012. (Remember the Godfather?) I'm just hoping PPHM can bring the heat to the major leagues (imminently).
Thanks for posting that, PW. My mom died from multiple myeloma a few years ago, about 18 months after her diagnosis. I think almost everyone here has a similar story of a loved one lost prematurely to some form of cancer. Maybe PPHM can rewrite the script for someone else's mom in the near future.
Stone, anyone else invited?
Gjh, that there was nicely dumbed down for us corn pickers n truck drivers.
I do believe lil-ole pphm is cookin up some kinda stew in those tustin crockpots, but not sure statins is in the recipe. In my opinion uh-course.
