You should be very happy today Pearsby!
Congratulations!
I don't understand the purpose of the 8K then. While I agree with "trding" about this, to me it seems as if the company was pressured to come out with something, so it did. But is it "same old, same old?"
In projecting out for 2017 I noticed that BTD (Break thru Designation) is mentioned in the 2nd half of 2017! This is way beyond the 60 day period we were led to believe. Perhaps the 60 day response period is no longer in effect, nothing more.
Perhaps with the 1st quarter of 2017, the so called "golden quarter" about to close, somebody realized that the projections made during 2016 were simply not going to happen. The company then took the step to restate their projected timeline.
It appears that the projected events of the timeline are in play, only that they have all been pushed back again. Perhaps this is the way it works.
The "truth" should be easy enough for you to provide evidence. Just like Trump accusing Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower. No evidence, then just a fabrication. Care to continue?
For the last 2 weeks I have been on Easter Island, Santiago, Chile, and am presently in the Straits of Magellan. Thanks to Chumps solid optimism, I have not considered pressing any "buttons" along the way to a new bottom.
Not quite ready to break out the champagne yet, but if there are any well deserved partying to take place in NYC or Vegas, I think I belong there as well.
I wish you what the well known Vulcan who has not been born yet has often been quoted saying, Chump.
"Live long and prosper!"
And maybe come back once in a while!
I like your analysis, BlackDoggie.
Historically we have seen how dilution devastated the stock price.
Its been interesting to me that the last two raises, albeit small, did not have a notable affect on the price of the stock.
Speaking of "speculation," when you expect the price of the stock to go down as a result of an event (dilution), but it doesn't, it can be taken as a positive or bullish event.
Grip it,
While I am hopeful that your analysis is correct, we really don't know anything significant of the financial relationship between CYDY and Paulsen.
For instance, we don't know if there is a "schedule" of investments by him. We don't know ultimately how much he has "promised" to invest, or if that amount has changed over time (to be more or less).
From strictly a technical standpoint, I would rather that volume be less as we are heading south, indicative perhaps of sell volume drying up then volume being weak as the price heads north. We all noted the heavy volume that CROI brought us.
In the end, lacking facts at this time, we can only guess and make scenarios that might amount to wishful thinking.
I do appreciate your great respect to keeping politics out of the discussion, though at times it might be difficult since politics might have a bearing on what happens here. Personally, I don't think it will have any effect on the forces in play over the next month.
Glad you have calmed down, Shane, and feel better. Thank you 123boom for providing such a well thought out response to Shane's question as to how to handle the situation.
For my two cents, I would have suggested to Shane that he revisit the reasons why he bought the stock in the first place and has anything really changed to warrant bailing?
It appears to me that everytime the price approaches 70 cents many of us go into panic mode, and when the price approaches 80 cents we are ready to crack open bottles of champagne, as if we just won the Super Bowl!
Neither reaction, though understandable, is appropriate. Other than an occasional spike in one direction or the other, we should not let the price of the stock dictate our moods or actions, quite frankly because most of the time we really don't have explanations as to why the market has moved the way it has.
I've been reading the pumpers and the dumpers for months and if I went back and read every prediction that did not come true, I'd either request that these people remove themselves from the Board, or I'd remove myself from the Board for believing everything I read , much of which has no basis in reality.
Collectively, we know a lot, but I don't think anyone really knows what's going to be happening a few months down the road, as we tend to feed on the little information provided as well as some posters' interpretations of it.
For me, on a technical basis, this Board has been of absolutely no use to me. On a personal basis, I've come to quietly enjoy the comradery and making contacts with many really nice people here. I've never had a reason to put anyone on "Ignore," except myself, when I go on much too long!
Wow,Shane! I don't blame you, but...
What would the sheikh say?
Nobody should tell anybody else how to manage their money.
No exception here.
Is this what you really want to do, or did that "blip" into the Sixties rattle you?
What does your wife think?
I don't think anybody is a happy camper today, especially the way the mood has shifted from our last moment in the Eighties.
A move up to 75 would certainly be a breath of fresh air!
At this moment 70.8 cents.
Human nature is such that if this thing takes off, keeping 10% of ones previous holdings at least allows the investor to share in some of the "winnings" if this takes off as opposed to being totally sorry they sold it off.
"Preservation of capital" is extremely important these days, and if an investor feels that CYDY does present too much of a risk, than the wiser course of action would be to find a safer investment, perhaps using the being able "to sleep at night" rule.
Everyone has to decide what works best for themselves. There are no certainties or guarantees here other than knowing that Pears is going to reverse course from the day before. (Pears, you know I enjoy most of your posts, regardless of whether it is bullish or bearish).
Grip It - I have always been a fan of your posts. Your prognostications of the future of the company are based upon sound reasoning from the information we have all been privy to.
As you alluded to, there should be a "How To Sell Your Company For The Best Price" 'playbook' out there that Nader is following.
I make an analogy to the real estate developer who buys a parcel of vacant land outside the city for resale. At that point maybe suburbia will grow in his direction, maybe not, so the bidding price is not so high. As he develops the land there is more interest and the bidding price goes up. All of a sudden when the infrastructure gets developed and people see the true value, the price skyrockets!
Was the developer able to hold on that long for all this to happen?
What will be the case for CYDY?
The longer he is able to hold and develop, the higher the rewards/
We all know the various benchmarks that have to take place.
Again I refer to Grip it's excellent posts detailing that.
I think I am having withdrawal symptoms. Having been on a trip from NY to Chicago, and then realizing I brought the wrong adapter for my laptop, I have been away for two days. I miss this place, seeing it like the bar in Cheers, where everyone knows your (screen) name!
I feel a little badly for the investors, or should I say, speculators, who bought in to CYDY in the 80's, only to see us back in the mid 70's moments later. I hope they can hold on and not sell their stock too soon, when it comes back.
Speaking of speculation, I have seen a bit of "off topic" speculation on this board. Such unrelated topics have included golf and horse racing. No problem there. A Board of people united in their interests in one company are bound to show a personal side after a while. After all, we are social creatures.
Recently I became aware of another matter of speculation, too sensitive to even be mentioned here. Those of you who know what I am talking about, and you know who you are, the answer has been staring you in the face all along. How do I know? I posted it a couple of weeks ago, and its there for you to see. Full transparency! I'm just disappointed in that I thought all my posts were read by everyone. What a wake up call this has been for me, and how disappointing the answer will be for those assuming the wrong answer.
Have a good night/morning Chump! You and Grip it are definitely on the right track!
Ok guys, time to stop horsing around!
For those interested in such mundane topics as viral load suppression, please check out the link below for the audio and slide presentation about PRO-140.

While it may not be as exciting as a photo-finish in a horse race, this might prove to be one thoroughbred that pays 10 to 1 (yes, Shane, I know, we're all hoping for much better than that)
I saw it as well, but was not thinking on my feet like you were Grip it. Nice going, and thank you!
When taken in the context of the pattern of the SP, what he wrote made a lot of sense. That does not make it true though.
I hope you can get to the bottom of it. Literally!
Pears, we all know you like being the "Devil's Advocate," but I really think that your neurotic, bi-polar tendencies are weighing in again. Please take a step back, and stop being so negative to the point where your scaring people away. Listen to Chump and others who have not been the "rah rah" type of posters, but base their statements on solid forward looking evidence. Just because you don't understand how a company cannot survive without a BO, does not mean that the company will fail. There is a lot going on that none of us know about. Just let the process continue as it has been. Perhaps a few pennies "north of 80 cents" might help as well.
We all know you mean well, but really, sometimes you just fall back into old habits.
Misiu,
It's refreshing to see that you have a "technical" side as well.
I guess one has to follow both the tech and fundamentals to get a more complete picture.
Just noticed that this was my 100th post! Time to do less posting and more listening.
And we are back at 80 cents.
Love the volume.
Think the price will ultimately reflect what the new announcments have to say.
I don't want to see the 70's again, but probably will. Should be support to put it back into the 80's again should that happen.
Interesting that the "sell" volume at this point today is twice the "buy" volume, using the bid/ask info on ihub.
Chump, I see what you have meant to the Board, and at my age (should be any age), I like to express my appreciation to those who help others with no benefit in it for themselves. You have truly been the "Voice of Reason" and an inspiration!
Perhaps, someday, if we all realize what we're hoping to achieve here, we'll put together our own "CROI" which might stand for
"Cytodyn's Remarkably Optimistic Investors!" Las Vegas would be my choice, but anyplace that works is fine with me, as the people are always more important than the venue.
Anyone feel free to substitute their own words for the "R" and "O" as its almost 1 in the morning and my creative juices, at the moment, are a bit dried up.
Chump, after reading your last post, they should nickname you "Champ!"

Marty,
If a person, before today, owned 1,000,000 shares of CYDY, the 6 cent increase in share price that we had would increase that person's value in their shares in the company by $60,000.
Somebody is $60,000 wealthier (on paper) today...and then there is his wife,
If nothing else, as of this moment, a breath of fresh air for all of us!
How are those Bollinger Bands looking today?
Did I just see 79 cents?
Never mind, it was 80 cents!
I think, Grip it, that the Knuckleheads are coming in the door (with 5 minutes to the close), just like you said!
We've all seen price and volume increasing, in anticipation of "something" happening. Will it be any different this time?
Great volume, leaving 1M shares in the dust. Would love for this to be "new" money!
Whoa there Shane! Did your wife just double her holdings?
The exceptional volume today, in conjunction with CROI, might get us some notice from investors previously unaware of CYDY.
Looks like we may break thru 1M shares today.

Thank you Chump!
Chump, thanks for responding. Yes, I am in the dark about Schooley.
I see the reference to his being the so called inventor of Pro-140 as well as being on the Board of CROI.
I also saw in Bloomberg, listing his many positions that one of them was that he either serves or served as a Member of Scientific Advisory Board of Gilead Sciences Inc.
I feel like the three blindfolded men, each one describing a different part of an elephant and being unable to conclude what the animal was.
Sorry for my ignorance.
Sagitar, thank you for your response. Yes, I did see that on page 69. What I don't understand is what Chump is referring to as CYDY being out. What am I missing or misinterpreting here?
They have two presentations listed. Were there others that were canceled?
Chump - What are you talking about that their presentation is out?
Did you see that they were eliminated from a scheduled program?
What did or did not happen?
BTW:
5 minutes after the close I (and perhaps everyone else) received the latest 8-K.
Is it generally the case that pre market news is good and post market news is bad?

On February 12, 2017, the board of directors of CytoDyn Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The amendment increases the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), authorized for issuance thereunder from 7,000,000 to 15,000,000 and modifies certain other provisions set forth in the amendment. The board believes that the increase is vital to enable the Company to continue to attract, retain and incentivize qualified individuals who can assist the Company in executing its corporate strategy. The amendment is conditioned on stockholder approval at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. A copy of the amendment is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
You can call me "bud" as the "Cyn" is my better half, aka Cynthia, and the "mark" is my middle name.
But seriously, from your posts, I can really feel your anguish. I have always taken the position that you post from the heart. Unfortunately, at times, its like you are having a literal "heart attack."
Yes, of course, to diversification. But who hits a home run (or 10 bagger), being diversified?
This period of time has probably been torture for a lot of us. I don't know how many of us can't afford to lose all of what has been invested. I sometimes think of Shane, who sometimes seems to get a bit jittery when we near .70.
I think your reactions are perfectly normal, under the circumstances. It would perhaps prove helpful to you if you got banned from your computer (or however you access quotes) for a weeks or so.
Pears, get back on your meds, now! Doctors orders! And you were doing so well until this (self admitted) paranoia began setting in (again).
I bet that all you need is, all of a, 2 cent increase in price (from 76 cents), and your paranoia would be put into remission.
And that is my giving my "2 cents" of advice to you!
Calm down, its going to be OK!
Thanks Chump for clarification on that article. However, for lay people like most of us, you read what GILD & Glaxo have to say and it appears that there is no need for either of them to be interested in anything CYDY has to offer.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out (which we've all been doing anyway).
Chump - Thank you for your response.
Bucky - in a so called "normal" situation I would agree with you about the upward "creep." I agree that there should be some anticipation, reflected in an upward bias of stock movement.
However, I don't know how wide our "pool of investors" are. Are the people on this Board, for the most part, fully invested, thus rendering us as nothing more than "cheerleaders?"
Perhaps its an overly simplistic view that we need new investors, but to get real ones, not casual, its been said that we have to get over $2.00 per share and get off the pink sheets.
To have any real impact I feel we need the FDA "blessing."
Saltz - your last post makes a lot of sense, thank you!
