Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (GALT)

[HankVerde]

My first buys were in June, 2003, (which was three stock symbols ago) for $2.60 and I kept buying through September, 2003, for as high as $5.70. Remember, this was years BEFORE the 1-6 reverse split, so my September buys were for the equivalent of over $34/share at today's prices (but my fairly large position is actually profitable as of now)

I am intimately familiar with GALT in all of it's iterations and various management teams. After I listening to this year's annual meeting and also to this week's presentation I have to say at no time in the 13 years I've held GALT have I been more excited about it. I have a friend who is a nurse practitioner and he believes GALT will be a huge winner.

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours with Jim Czirr, the company's co-founder, about 7 years ago and know his commitment to GALT to the tune of many millions of dollars of his own money. He has the resources to ensure that GALT will not fail due to financial reasons.

I may have been stupid to hold GALT this long (it was as low as 30-cents, adjusted for the reverse split, in October, 2008), but know that in the next 2-3 years this could easily be a $100 stock, so I feel the wait will have been worth it.

Any other very long-term holders of GALT out there?
