NorthWest Biotherapeutics Inc (NWBO)

The investigation should not affect Neil Woodford's ability to invest, since he would be a fool not to have done his own due diligence instead of waiting on the investigation. He has to know by now whether he can trust Ms. Powers, the science of DCVax and whether she can execute on that. If he believed he could trust all three, then this is the opportunity of a lifetime and Mr. Woodford would find a way to be buying. I believe that private placements are always possible and yet Ms. Powers keeps doing toxic financing instead of getting help from Mr. Woodford.

Even if Mr. Woodford bought on similar toxic terms, it would be a shot in NWBO's arm a lot like the time Warren Buffet propped up GE by buying preferred shares on tough terms during the financial crisis. Even though Mr. Buffet took advantage of the situation it actually made GE look good because it showed that a historically successful investor was willing to invest in it. That helped GE turn the corner.

So why doesn't Mr. Woodford do for NWBO what was done for GE?
