NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

I'm weary of the management but not wary Austin.

Here's why I believe NWBO's management

I think Ms. Powers and her colleagues feel like NWBO is in a war to the knife with Big Pharma and the shorts.

Proof in support of this view of this is in Mr. Goldman's intemperate remarks in e-mails to various shareholders and even the remarks of the independent head of the DMC who said that he has never experienced attacks like these.

I believe they have some right to feel threatened because a lot of people have an interest in making NWBO fail.

Since they feel like they're at war, they're just pulling out a page from Sun Tzu.

Sun Tzu teaches you to hide your "shape" from the enemy.

When strong feign weakness, when weak feign strength.

When you are far away, appear near. When near, appear far away.

You get the idea.

The problem is, with a publicly traded company the only way to hide your shape from the enemy is also to hide it from your shareholders.

I'm not saying they pulled out the Art of War since that book is really just common sense and most people who feel threatened tend to try to control the flow of information whether or not they've done anything wrong.
