Very well said and I agree with you on communication to shareholders and updates when timeline is being pushed out even if it was just an email.

I understand your frustrations. There are times when I want to kick the heck out of Linda and staff. I think they could communicate regularly with shareholders and should have the common respect for shareholders to deliver on their promises. For example, it is inexcusable to continue to say they will report on the investigation in months and not do it in a year. The same with the halt and a number of other promises. If you can't deliver on your commitments, at least communicate the reason why and provide a new eta. But to say nothing and act like it did not happen is inexcusable. LP and co need to know that a 90% fall in stock price and the lack of communication is unacceptable. They need to feel more than a bit of heat. Some of the comments made regarding NWBO management is understandable.

With all of that said, however, I think any company that is trying to bring about disruptive technology is in for one hell of a fight. This is particularly true when you are raising money from wall-street which is completely motivated by unbridled greed. I have given, and will continue to give, the benefit of the doubt to NWBO management as I do not have privy to a lot of the behind-the-scenes details that are the basis of their decisions. I do not believe Linda or Les wants to fail. They certainly have more to loose than I/most of us do. I do believe they are doing what they feel they can to bring about the success of the company. It doesn't mean they don't make mistakes, are perfect in this regard or have 20/20 hindsight. I believe that given the shit NWBO has been through for the past 16+ years or so, they have weathered the storm and have continued to do so.

IMHO, too, a lot of people tend to major on the minors and blow shit out of proportion. Bankruptcy, for example, is a non-issue. It ain't happening-- at least not before p3 announcement. Dilution IS an issue but if the P3 is successful, there are ways this can be dealt with. Right now, some of you are saying NWBO has not accomplished anything for the entire year of 2016! How can the company be on the verge of a successful international, multi-continent trial and not have done anything for the year? absurd!

Here we have a trial that has been going on for 6+ years (with patients with the deadliest form of cancer) but have not hit 75% of events yet!!!! We have a Pseudo-progressive trial, an informational arm and a direct trial-- all with potentially outstanding results....but NWBO has done nothing this year!

Our investment has taken a gigantic hit. But all of the evidence regarding the science STRONGLY suggests we will get paid!!!!!
