In my book BP has lost the battle here. New FDA guidelines signal to a new era of cancer care and NWBO's tech is way ahead of the field. BP may have been behind the attempted destruction of this tiny biotech but have failed. What we have been witnessing is the beginning of a new era of cancer care and NWBO will be at the forefront. What is exciting for all future patients is that this may lead to the treatment of cancer and added longevity but at best a cure. Time will tell but I fully believe we are on the verge of something monumental.
My point regards not needing to use stop losses if you are keeping a close eye on the stock price and other activities concerning the markets in general. The only time I employ stop losses is if I am away on vacation and not able to follow the market. Regarding MM's on a rising stock price it is a known strategy that they will employ pullbacks to sponge up shares with stop losses. There is little point employing a stop loss when we are this close to news and once it breaks make sure you remove all stop losses as pullbacks will guarantee you losing positions. I am pretty sure most people on this board will be watching for news daily and hopefully the only issue we have over the coming month's / years is when to take profits.
Could not agree more, stop losses mean guaranteed losses in my book. Watching the market, news, this board etc is a better strategy. Enough experienced investors on here that will give due warning if need be. Our hope is that the only warning is to not sell too early as another MM strategy it to try and accumulate shares from those who do not understand the true value of a company.
You could not be more wrong here. Gone are the days that BP could squash small companies once results are known. This is an especially sensitive area and with humanity begging for cancer breakthroughs, once this is out and the science is proven there will be no stopping this company whatever path they choose. Science will win over the greed of BP's in this battle. You are a delusional poster who cannot understand that data is so readily available to all and this will be the undoing of the powers to be now and in the future.
There is no halt just no movement. Wishful thinking is all this is.
Nice pick PT1, suits NWBO in more ways than one. Plus this song always put's a smile on my face.
To be honest these chats people are having with Les are only going to add fuel to the detractors arguments. If Les is a true professional he would never indulge company secrets, plans, timelines to a single investor giving him a call. Any information that is not in the public domain should never be shared with a phone in investor. If people feel the need to talk to Les I would prefer not to hear any of his undoubted ramblings which he will feel obliged to share that have no bearing on anything meaningful. Please keep these conversations to yourself and if they make you feel all warm and fuzzy so be it. All I am looking for is real news that has a positive impact on the patients, NWBO and its investors. Anything else is just fodder for the detractors.
One company that is key to future immunotherapy type treatments is FMI. Notice on their website how much of their blood work will be critical to future cancer care and how in synch they are already with immunotherapy. https://www.foundationmedicine.com/genomic-testing
One of the only reactions I saw out there yesterday. https://insiderfinancial.com/northwest-biotherapeutics-inc-otcmktsnwbo-just-cleared-the-way-for-some-good-news/173071/
Very simple, dark pools have had many months to accumulate shares at low prices and sell them to keep the price in check. There are countless reasons why these types would purposely do this and many have been discussed on this board. The competition obviously fears NWBO's tech hence the many attempts to drive this company into BK. This battle will continue until indisputable proof comes out. If this happens these pools will evaporate and move onto new pastures. Until then we wait and the SP will be held in check.
Why do you think that the protagonists have been dead set against the science since the get go. Both L and D can be used to treat all tumors. This terrifies all the competition. DCVAX L and D will be the SOC for tumor related cancers IMHO. We need topline and approval of L and I feel more news is imminent. The protagonists will start running for cover and disappear into their dark pools for good until they can get their dirty hands on another aspiring company.
Ain't that the truth. In the bio sector patience is absolutely the key. Do your DD to find great companies with market shaking technology and then ride out the inevitable shenanigans that bereft all these small companies some to a much greater degree than others. The bigger the downward manipulation the greater the current market technology holders fear the trial outcomes. In NWBO my absolute belief is that they hold technology that will be the biggest market shaker in oncology ever. There technology both L and D can tackle all forms of cancers and it is this ability that truly frightens all other companies both BP's and other upcoming immuno companies. NWBO are uniquely positioned alongside Cognate to hit the ground running and once the run has begun there will be no stopping their platform from spreading to all cancers. The market fears such a platform, nerves of steel are required and there is no room for emotion at this time. Hold firm and ride the inevitable wave and what a wave that will be. All IMHO. Too all longs patience, and too all shorts fear the wave, it's building.
It amazes me that so much effort goes into trying to explain how the SP is being manipulated. Naked shorting is thrown out their a lot and I do not really buy into the theory that there are millions upon millions of naked shorts out there. We see manipulation of SP on the main exchanges everyday by the MM's with there millions upon millions of 100,200,300,500 share trades that either bring a stock price up or down depending on algorithms and how master manipulators want these swings to play out. You see it all the time where some inconspicuous piece of news comes out and all of a sudden all the tech stock are manipulated down 2 to 5%. As if the world wakes up and all read this piece of news and immediately start selling. These pieces of news are just signal's to MM's to trend down industries be it they Tech, mining etc etc. If you study the trends it is also amazing how many of the stocks gap up and down almost simultaneously and this can only be done through algorithmic trading plays. We are all part of one giant manipulation and as long as you leave your emotions at the door and play along you will lose money. As for keeping a share price or driving it up or down on the OTC well just let's say there are players out there who really want to keep lowering this stock to hurt NWBO. All they need to do is swap shares all day long and depending on their play it will either drive the SP up or down. Only real news and that being positive will drive this stock up because at that point all these players already have positions to benefit.
Too many posts to review regarding the leasing of the unused warehouse space at the Sawston Property. My takeaway from this piece of news is simple really. NWBO who already has a manufacturing facility and usable space at this property for any startup operations are leasing out and having the lessee upgrade the old warehouses. The lease agreement is for a minimum of 3.5 years which again allows NWBO to expand into this facility if required after 3.5 years. What this tell's all those who are really listening is that NWBO is making future plans and is therefore confident in getting beyond the current P3 DCVAX-L trial. For all the shorts/skeptics bashing this company for choosing to generate revenue from underutilized space, it just goes to show the level they are prepared to drop too. However they cannot escape the fact that NWBO is making future plan's right under their noses. This should result in a slow nose bleed but hey they got some cotton wool stemming the flow. Before they know it the cotton wool will not hold back their bleeding. Looking forward to that day.
What would be interesting to find out is if there are still patients being treated at the Fraunhofer facility in Leipzig, Germany with DCVAX-L. This would tell us a great deal.
Exemption in Germany from a 2014 PR on NWBO's website.
"Patients with recurrent GBM and patients with other glioma brain cancers are not eligible for the Phase III clinical trial, but all such patients are eligible for treatment under the DCVax-L Hospital Exemption.
The first DCVax-L Hospital Exemption patient underwent surgery to remove his GBM tumor last week, and the manufacturing of his DCVax-L also began last week with the processing of his tumor tissue at the Fraunhofer facility in Leipzig, Germany.
Surely a drug that is about to be used in blinded trials, in this case Germany have to be registered. Why would you expect it to already be approved if NWBO has not un-blinded the trial. They are in the stage of gathering all data from all countries so at this point Germany will not have received this data to give a yes or no for approval.
What you have to remember is that Cofer Black is still on the payroll and in all probability building a case on all elements that have been targeting this company. It would be wonderful to see positive results followed by the slaughter of the shorts by Black.
Agree, healthcare in this the supposedly greatest country in the world is abysmal. It appears BP and Insurance cares only about profit at the expense of human life. DCVAX does not only lower the cost but more importantly has no side effects which to me is the biggest winner in all of this. If this treatment even matches SOC then it should replace it just for this benefit alone. Every patient out there would always choose the medicine with no side effects to ensure their remaining time on earth with their loved ones is as beautiful as possible.
This one section from the posting should send all the doubters scampering.
“I have a huge drive to prove that things that seem impossible can actually work,” Liau said. “When I first started working on brain tumor immunotherapy, everyone told me that you can’t mount an immune response in the brain. Now we know that’s not true.”
We are on the verge. Patiently waiting.
Agree with you 100% anders, the suggestion of impending news on blinded data is in itself a statement that implies SP movement up or down based on the content of the data. This type of statement could easily be seen as a trigger to buy.
A new dawn on cancer care is almost upon us. We the lucky few retail investors who willingly share our opinions both good and bad will one day think back to this time with some affection, because in life good things come to those who wait. To all those who believe in the science and the hope that it will lead to the inevitable cure of this truly awful disease I applaud you, because every little bit of support that this maligned company can achieve to get over the finish line will mean so much to so many in the end. For now all we can do is wait patiently and support this tiny company and the scientists who have worked so hard to get the science to where it is today. The finish line is in sight, patience is a virtue and our shared belief will be our reward. Thanks to all the posters who continually share their extensive knowledge of the science and those their experience in all matters biotech.
Bio, agree with you 100%. For me I have a little read here and there and it is by and large entertaining. As you say there are always some good titbits to be had. I have a substantial sum in this investment for the simple reason that I am 100% confident in success. I do not lose sleep over my commitment to seeing this through to fruition. All the swings up and down are nothing to the eventual surge that will occur when NWBO decide the time is right. We are just part of the sideshow and as you know that sideshow is full of different characters. Those characters and how they act is what makes this world an interesting place. I shall continue to wait patiently on the sidelines, biding my time and when the time comes will stand up with all and applaud a beautiful new dawn for cancer care that hopefully leads to curing this dreadful disease.
Agree 100% JD, nice to know that the data release is imminent. If people sell now, well they never truly believed in the science. Time to hold and accumulate if you really believe.
All I read is that news is imminent. For me that is the best news I have read in the longest time. Time to place your bets, I fully expect a build up to occur now that we are on a count down. No need to despair as the science is real and the skeptics, well there days of gloating are almost over. May the science win for all the prospective patients to come.
People, people, people, I have been reading through all the posts and obviously mixed feelings on this board. You need to look at the size of the raise. If it was a really large attempted raise then we would be in for a world of hurt. This is a tiny raise and that in itself is great news. Something small needed to be taken care of now in order to move forward. Everyone take a deep breath, this may just be the light at the end of the tunnel.
Overall conclusions are that we get more positive news before LP conference at the end of the month.
I have been reviewing all the posts over a number of months and it is very interesting to note that we have gone from imminent Data Lock to now being inundated with data from so called experts on this board legitimizing that it is OK and better to wait another 3 to 6 months. What is more interesting is that the company itself has been completely quite since ASCO after clearly stating that they were waiting for the final 2 events to occur. What is clear is that we are almost 24 months away from last treatment and regardless of all these numbers being thrown around it is clear to me that the company would not see any real benefit of extending this just another few more months. What we need as investors is the company to come clear in its intent to pursue approval and give investors and the science community a timeline of where they are at with regard data lock. We all know it will take time to gather all the data from the centers but just giving the knowledge to investors that the clock is ticking and show a timeline to data lock and top line results will certainly spike interest in this stock and raise the price from it's current dismal low. Complete silence is counter productive and gives fuel to all detractors. Continued silence legitimizes the detractors and scares away potential investors and the SP continues down.
Here is the main allegation.
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. Plaintiff asserts derivatively on behalf of Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. (“Northwest Bio” or the “Company”) claims for breach of fiduciary duties against the current members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in connection with the Board’s decision to enter into related party transactions, including manufacturing and services agreements, with Cognate BioServices, Inc. (“Cognate”), an entity controlled by Linda Powers (“Powers”), Northwest Bio’s controlling stockholder, Chief Executive Officer, President, Principal Financial Officer, and Chairperson of the Board, individually and through a number of related entities. These related entities are Toucan Capital Fund III, L.P. (“Toucan Capital”), Toucan Partners, LLC (“Toucan Partners”), Toucan Partners, LP (“Toucan Partners, LP”) and Toucan General II, LLC (“Toucan General”) (collectively referred to as the “Toucan Entities.”) Similarly, Plaintiff asserts claims derivatively against Powers, Cognate, and Toucan Capital for aiding and abetting the
breaches of fiduciary duties relating to the related party transactions between Cognate and the Company alleged herein. Plaintiff further asserts claims derivatively of unjust enrichment against Powers, Cognate, and Toucan Capital as a result of the substantial amounts of cash siphoned from the Company through the excessive and unwarranted payments under the various agreements with Cognate.
Basically a shareholder accusing NWBO's board of excessive profiting through there large interests in cognate and toucan.
Make no mistake Linda Powers and her team have made millions of dollars through their ability to dictate the costs of services issued by cognate on NWBO. No matter how you look at this you have to question where the boards loyalties really lie. Are they with Cognate or NWBO which has been used as their cash cow to date. Their wages made through NWBO pale into insignificance when compared to the profits they have made through Cognates excessive billing since they were chosen for manufacturing of DCVAX.
So a lot of comments have been made good and bad about LL's participation in a Forbes article. Her participation should be viewed as a positive simply because her opinion was sought out above all others in this field. Her hands are tied right now with regard DCVAX but make no mistake, her invitation was down to DCVAX's imminent datalock and hopefully FDA approval. The time of immunotherapy and it's advancement is upon us and I believe that although DCVAX does not offer a cure for all, it's approval will pave the way for the advancement of these types of cancer therapies. Chemo and radium will be consigned to dust eventually as the scientific world know this is not the answer.
