I see he didn’t answer your question regarding his slip.
Lol, are you running through a playbook or something? You’re tossing out the ol’ concern troll act? Didn’t that die back in the early 2000’s?
Great point rogers! It’s a keynote address that is a highlight of the conference.
Given what we know about Glioblastoma and the trials of the past, this is a big deal in the world of neuro-oncology. Everyone with an interest in glioblastoma will be tuned in.
Interesting thing about the talk:
Yep. Stop losses are like putting a target on one’s back. Best to set a price notification to be sent to oneself and then decide if the circumstances warrant action.
That 0.05 trade was most likely the forces of evil body checking all the newbies into the boards during their first time on the ice. Welcome to the game!
As Gerald Ford said upon taking office, “Our long national nightmare is over.”
Thanks Hbpainter—Tongue in cheek, foot in mouth—It’s a fine line!
NWBO closed with MC equal $298 million. Close enough for me!
50%, lol
Well, if nothing else is clear, NWBO has a habit of being the exception.
It does seem to set a nice boundary on things. I assume TLD before then however.
akblack, I am not a mental health professional, as you came close to deducing.
And yes, a mental health professional should be reported to some kind of professional authority if he or she were convinced that LearningCurve suffered from an actual mental illness and posted that response.
Hyperbole. Sarcasm. Creative license. Multi-post context. A lot of moving parts. Understandable that misinterpretation could happen.
Impressive from NWBO perspective that Flashworks accepted that much of the deal in stock.
Mav:
Throw you a fn bone and you bite me. You are a bad doggie.
Sit boy! Sit!
I assume Mr Stain is waiting for the whites of their eyes before firing.
Do you like quotas? You seem to have a daily quota of slams to post these days.
Oh my, I’m doing it again! The imperialist tropes were penned by a Belgian, not a British, author. Those guys really know their stuff. The Norton Anthology version of Heart of Darkness has a stunning discussion of King Leopold II and the Congo.
Shocker: Buffet just bought a gold miner, Barrick Gold. Not surprised he bought Barrick in particular, as mentioned in my prior post, it was the lead indicator that gold miners had finally got religion on managing their businesses as a business instead of as a get rich quick scheme.
Far be it from me to criticize Buffet’s investing prowess, but on the issue of gold, I believe his wildly successful investment approach blinded him to the role that gold can play in a portfolio, especially in terms of reducing volatility while still providing solid investment returns that us mere mortals can obtain without sleepless nights. He, of course, has guts of steel and can stomach 50% drawdowns like it’s just a passing storm.
There are, of course, many ways to use gold as part of an investment portfolio, and the most applicable rationale changes as circumstances change. The best “no brainer” approach is The Permanent Portfolio by Harry Browne: 25% stocks, 25% bonds, 25% cash, 25% gold. Rebalance to targets regularly (annually is fine if you want to go full no-brainer). It’s what I’ve recommended to my investment adverse friends and loved ones. It’s geared toward handling economic expansion and contraction, as well inflation and deflation. The drawn downs are surprisingly manageable, with a 8.54% annual return since 1978. Brown’s period of study went back to 1971 (when gold was freed from government controls) and was over 9% per year.
Here’s an example as implemented:

Here’s the classic Buffet quote:
“[Gold] gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.”
Regarding the ethical implications of investing in gold, or most other things for that matter—quite a can of worms but definitely worth considering, something I’ve thought about for the decades I’ve been investing. It actually goes beyond just strictly investing. Just buying shoes typically involves one in some kind of slave labor exploitation. As the comedian Chris Bliss once said, “Nike pays kids to make our shoes for just pennies an hour, but you must hand it to them, at 80 hours a week, it adds up quickly.”
Re: gold — I’m not sure how adding the additional distance of a neutral fund of some type ultimately solves the issue for me. For example, somewhere along the way, fresh water was polluted and used for essentially a monetary purpose instead of for growing food or keeping people alive. If fresh water were abundant and the pollution remediated somehow, then maybe that issue becomes less of a concern.
More to come.
BS, indeed
He was mixing up the right wing thug from Panama (Noriega) with the left wing, well-intentioned thug, Daniel Ortega from El Salvador.
Of course, the path to hell is paved with good intentions. As well as the path to re-education camps.
Senti, I’m in agreement with the thrust of your take on this. I’m sure you’re relieved to know this.
Regarding my following comments, I’m not being coy, but it’s best to keep things on the general side.
I reached out to a resource (btw, definitely not LL!) regarding this presentation and asked about the slide in question. The impression one comes away with is that the statement that the trial “essentially failed” was his judgment based on the Transitional Medicine paper that was shown in the slide, and not any inside info.
As we know, the paper in question doesn’t come to the conclusion that the trial failed. In fact, the paper states DC-Vax-L “may extend survival.”
Whether his judgment is swayed, as seems to be the case with Ol’ Stuppy based on his past interviews, by his involvement with rival therapies, is left for each of us to speculate on. It could of course be an entirely professional judgment, seemingly made free from overt conflict, that is still bound by a soon to be discarded paradigm that dominates oncology. That is certainly our bet.
Now, now JR, no need to cast ASPERSIONS.
(As you can indubitably deduce, I acquired the companion dictionary on further reflection. The Brittanica Company even included a pocket thesaurus, gratis!)
Sukus assures us he’s a value investor and so such a deal as you propose would be of little interest to him for a set of encyclopedias, though I’m sure we can all agree that $3000 would make an empirically justifiable target price for a scarce share of NWBO in the future.
I too am a value investor, and not just in NWBO—I negotiated the price of my beloved encyclopedias down to under $20 per month with the previously mentioned adjustments to interest rate and term.
Speaking of “unloading,” prior to the frenzied negotiations on price, the salesman had assured me he hadn’t “unloaded” a set in years. That was all that was required to motivate me to make a purchase, for I too am no crowd follower. You should have seen his visage brighten when I said, “Stop right there — I must have them!”
In actuality, he was initially befuddled because he had just picked up a set of Tiawanese steak knives and hadn’t uttered a word about them when I interrupted him in my unbridled enthusiasm.
He mistakenly thought I was interested in the steak knives he had yet to pitch and not the rare books whose sale he had prematurely and precipitately abandoned.
Although in my erstwhile post I complained about the deleterious effect on my cognitive functioning that resulted from listening to the Scotch and Drambuie swilling Mr Nailz, in hindsight, without his unintentional influence, I might not have been in the proper frame of mind to seize the preternatural opportunity presented by the “random” knock on my door by an itinerant salesman.
Armed with a fully indexed trove of immense knowledge and a new found frame of mind, who know what adventures await me!
It could all be yours too for merely $20 per month.
On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into financings totaling $7,960,214 pursuant to this prospectus supplement (the “Offering”). The financings were comprised of:
