It’s repeating itself like the woman at the party in The Stepford Wives. Also, pipe it through a better language translator. There are many free ones that are much better.
Great take on what typically passes for analysis here. A lot of unsubstantiated speculation, much of it with ill intent.
Thanks LF, for the reply and for following the connections to GAVI, CEPI and the rest of the rogues gallery.
Congratulations to you friend! Anything to it besides momentum plays and a good set of darts?
Nice to see a firm date in writing!
Perhaps this will inspire doctors who saw patients in the trial to pony up their last bets.
I apologize since I should know the answer to this but there is only so much patience I have for watching paint dry when the other stocks in my overly extensive portfolio show so much more action and hold earnings calls quarterly. Hence why I tune out here for months a time.
Does Linda still have an interest in Cognate? I remember NWBO severed ties but how about her personally?
Come on, the Amarin situation with the judge’s ruling was like the devil from hell grabbing your ankle while you took a walk in the country.
Because the only reason anyone could come to a different conclusion than him is if they are a right-winger. He’s been very candid about his logic multiple times.
Harvard-laundering (the next stage of the Lancet scandal)
This post on the Stanford statistical modeling blog makes the point about using reputation (argument from authority fallacy) to launder bad science. Links and comments of interest too.

A cursory review of the Surgisphere paper should have set off alarm bells by the Lancet editors and reviewers—but did not.
Blows a big hole in the confidence we should have in the peer-review process, if it wasn’t already shot. It should be worth following the details of this scandal closely as it unfolds. We may learn a few more twists about how the world operates. Many thanks for the links you posted — a good start in the process of following the leads.
research on ivermectin looks promising. Overall death rate dropped from 8.5% to 1.4%.
Ceres, where the drinks are so strong you can’t set them down or they’ll get up and walk off.
Not sure what Judi traded, which is kind of weird that I don’t know or remember, since I had been reading Jack Schwager’s books around that time. However I was and am an investor vs trader. We mainly connected around tennis and wine. Rhône’s and spicey foods like Thai and Indian — good ol’ hedonistic times, fortunately now long past.
Might have spilled beer on you at Cactus in 1995, lol. Did you know John Judi? I think he was still trading options then.
You’ll appreciate this on the Lucent logo:
Especially upward spirals. Very pretty...
Yep - they had a lot of great engineers who were mismanaged towards the end, unfortunately.
Maybe Rago’s thinking of the old telecom research and equipment maker spun off from Ma Bell.
Yep, it is funny in a gallows humor way. I’m actually laughing about it — gotta keep things in perspective!
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefevre, which is based on Livermore’s life, is worth reading if you’re interested in trading (versus investing) or stock market history in general.
The essence of the story of manipulation and shenanigans still holds (google “Goldman Sachs fined” for an entertaining way to waste some time when you’re bored). In any case, it’s a fun read if the old style language doesn’t get in the way.
BTW, Livermore wasn’t talking about a decade’s worth of patience, which is how long I’ve been sitting and waiting.
Agreed. But marketing, or actually narrative, is everything these days.
Reality is for suckers. At least that’s what Karl Rove tells us.

Truth goes begging for quarters on empty streets.
BTW, I don’t adhere to the liberal-conservative narrative (which has become a divide and conquer phenomenon in the US) so the above was not meant as a slam against conservatives. Everyone with power is spinning narrative.
CogDiss Corollaries to the Feuerstein-Ratain Rule
Our happy little stock is showing signs of life, prior to possible TLD. This got me reflecting on the FR-Rule and led to these thoughts:
Corollary 1:
The FR-Rule requires that the trial in question have a generally accepted concept of a date on which the results might be announced.
If no one has an idea when the trial might end, might as well hang the “Gone Fishing” sign.
Corollary 2:
Conversely, if the market cap of the company to be reporting data rises above $300 million, the odds of success increase infinitely.
This is due to the mathematical result of dividing any non-zero number by zero.
To infinity and beyond!
BTW, I predicted TLD in mid-September, within the four month timeframe of the FR-Rule. Always the optimist.

Sie schulden der Regierung eine Menge Steuern. Möglicherweise möchten Sie einen Lauf zur Grenze in Betracht ziehen.
Umm, no, but I can use google translate.
Found it — it was stuck on a loose rivet near the top of the memory hole:
Must have been worth reading—it’s been disappeared.
Stay out of Maryland or they’ll throw your ass in jail.
Come to think of it Siri better watch where she goes.
To whom it may concern. I agree with your approach overall. May take a little bit to act on — a lot of great stuff I’m working on but suggestion is interesting and worth pursuing.
I’m got into stuff like that, during my hyper-rational-only phase, just to help decode spooky stuff. I’m not seeing it. Maybe I should ask Jared Kushner.
Could be the covid a.....never mind.
This may fall into the same category as the legislative process and how sausage is made.
The move away from breastfeeding in the middle part of the last century (or whenever it was) was a disaster, one of many foisted upon us by companies selling us better living through chemistry. I say this as someone with a degree in chemistry.
There are a couple of Northern European countries that “mandate” vitamin D supplementation, whatever than means, so that plays a role.
Would like to dig into the details of the studies. I had an idea regarding vitamin D, covid outcomes and big data, aggregated by county (or equivalent in other countries). This would still be useful, even with the GIGO / bad data issues we’ve discussed — reality’s been skewed, not necessarily obliterated.
For vitamin D, there are patient blood tests, I think mainly used when managing osteoporosis but in any case, plenty of results that can be anonymized and made available. What is immediately available is an estimate of Vitamin D levels based on weather data and geolocation. Count the number of sunny hours in the weeks before a covid outcome, adjusted by angle of the sun instead of latitude. I believe sunlight angle’s impact on vitamin d production has been measured. This is more accurate than just using latitude because we’re really interested in effective sun exposure, for which latitude is just a rough approximation.
A nice term project for a software developer in a masters of data science program. This is the kind of thing that a foundation could fund for less than a $100,000 in consulting fees and equipment.
