Hey pfort,

Just some full disclosure that due to this recent development with Woodford trying to push an anti-fraud specialist former FBI agent into the inner circle to examine all secret things NWBO (which I'm pretty sure most of which are unsightly), I've decided this week to sell out of my small NWBO position. I see too much potential negative pressure coming to make a subsequent pop after the hold lifts as worth it anymore. I might rethink that and try again if I see support lower but as of right now my shares are gone when trading opens.

The other issue that does play on my mind is the potential for a random halt for futility coming out of nowhere. I don't think the hold has anything at all to do with an interim analysis being done (especially not for efficacy with PFS primary ep) but it does introduce a perfect moment for the DMC to unblind data and have a futility analysis performed. The DMC has flexibility in this regard. The result of that very well could be a halt for F. So, I'm out. Not worth the risk.

If you would like a small list of stocks I'm very much in favor of and have tried hard to conduct my own "bear research" over and still found them worthy of an investment, feel free to pm me on seeking alpha under Steven Giardino.

Happy Thanksgiving all.
