Silence by the company just makes this board go crazy. There are so many unanswered questions for the few answers we have that it is as easy to spin a negative response as it is to be positive about things. I am in such a hole that it would make most of the older investors on this board have a widow maker. Most certainly the moment I told you how many shares I have and how much I am in a hole. I have a lot of January 2017 calls that are way out of the money. The price points I hear some of you on this board are at and are frustrated is nothing compared to me(sounds like I am bragging, but I am actually kind of crying). When this thing was going up about 15 months ago I thought there is no way this is going back down. So I converted all of my shares at that time to leaps. I only bought shares as the price tanked. I am so disappointed in management right now I don't have the writing skills to express it. The thing that I won't do is be angry at them yet or name call. There is just too much I don't know. I really really believe in the science. I had my own hand in the early vaccines at UCLA. I know they work, without question. The vaccine I was involved in did not have a good enough response rate and the trials failed. I saw miraculous things with patients on occasion though, just unbelievable. Pat Hoon had just left my program before I was a fellow. I still remember a conversation my chairman and program director were having one of my first days there when we were waiting for tumor board to start. They were pissed off at Pat Hoon for leaving and selling the rights of Abraxane and becoming a multi millionaire. He actually donated money for a beautiful new oncology wing in the hospital I operated at. Not quite sure how he pulled that off keeping the rights to himself. It is pretty amazing to see what he has done since then.
I have spoken to neurosurgeons who have trained at UCLA and some other surgeons. No one has said that it has not worked, no one. I will say that a lot of surgeons have said it really seemed to be effective on certain subtypes. This is before I knew too much about the different subtypes including mesenchymal.
As Maverick has said, there is so much more to investing than just the science. It really should be as simple as the science. I am learning though that is not the case the hard way. I have spoken with several posters here privately and truly appreciate your help and encouragement when I have needed it. I am living a poor existence right now. I was also warned of putting myself into that position. I really do have mortgage money in this stock. If I didn't live in California that would not be the case, but here it is. I wake up with a knot in my stomach every morning waiting for news. Now we are really close to needing more money and not a word from the company. To think that this board will have no new information to debate until possibly September(except dilution) if that is even the case makes my stomach more sick. Where is this board gonna go by then? I really hope this company does something positive for us soon. No matter how you look at it, this wait is becoming ridiculous. So many people I know have put money into this stock that have asked for my advice. It has really become hard to keep telling them to be patient. I have spoken to Les, he was very kind. The thing is he really can't say anything to you that is not public. I actually ended up a little more frustrated because of it.
I am not even sure what the point of this post is. I am just sitting here while my girls are sewing clothes with my wife. I guess I just feel the anxiety building up and I needed to let out some of the negative energy I was feeling. I just really hope we hear something material in the next few weeks. These negative theories are just too much to read and there is only one way they are going to stop. That is for the company to prove them wrong. Thx for letting me vent:)
