XOMA Corporation (XOMA)

I said nothing would be announced at this conference, but that never stops the unfounded hype from pulling things out of thin air anyway. Nothing will come from the December conference as well as should be expected. If you want to possibly look forward to something, then focus on the JP Morgan Healthcare conference in January of 2016. Otherwise known as the Super Bowl of Healthcare conferences, an announcement there would carry more weight and have much greater exposure. Clearly many people who have no clue about this sector trade it. Based on what, I have no idea. You attend conferences to build your network and update or reaffirm your pathway targets. You announce meaningful progress and or results if that data can be shared, and you do it where you have everyone's attention as to get the most bang for your buck. This constant immature dribble that something has to be announced at any event attended by the company or its disappointing clearly demonstrates a total lack of understanding as to how the industry works. My question remains, what information do you possess that makes you have such expectations? Are you in the board room? Are you an executive with the company? Is it any wonder why most investors never make money in stocks? The company will release data when it is available and understood. You and I will never know when that will happen, and as with all trials, the science is not exact, just like all patients do not react the same, and just like no two fingerprints are the same.

When did common sense leave the discussion on Xoma? If you are disappointed for not getting some juicy tidbit of news, then why are you even here? To have that expectation going into this week, makes no sense.
