Jimmy, I agree. There is nothing asynchronous about Dr. M. and the AVXL story.
"ANAVEX has a story to tell", that is what is going on here, IMO. Unlike other Bio's I have owned where every day hinges on the latest trial/rumors/hit pieces. We may be analogous to the story around the development of antibiotics back in the days when surgeons thought that washing their hands was a waste of time. Eventually medicine pieced a story together but it was RETROSPECTIVE as a rationalization for why sterile instruments made sense, and aseptic processes and suddenly it all made sense to everyone. It took a while to get all the dots connected.
Dr M. is telling a story, the facts are on the table and SO FAR they all say more or less the same thing. Not only does his story blow away all previous theories for effectively treating AD (The Plaque thing)but at least so far, ALL the evidence indicates the same conclusion. Homeostasis as a CNS cell state is a very good thing to establish. How good is to be proven but the thesis holds with zero failures or contradictions to this point. The evidence indicates the thesis is proven to be true.
So, at least in my mind, having a story to tell is far better than treating all of these trials as anecdotes, particularly since there have been no contradictions. It is for example always true that patients with AD die. No amount of testing for alternate theories has ever proven a thing. THE BP STORY HAS BEEN BADLY FLAWED, eventually they all failed.
This story is not yet finished. There will be a beginning, a middle and an end. I am not smart enough to write it, but someone will. As some very qualified people have noted here (A2-73) Anavex is about to change the practice of medicine, just like antibiotics did, maybe more.
