I understand this is subjective and although I don’t think the guy was overly nervous, I did detect a slight inflection in his voice when he stated that they were still reviewing the data. He could have been thirsty, perhaps he was slightly nervous for a different reason, after all, lots of people are watching and listening- it was a very high profile event. Or maybe my ears were playing tricks on me.

FYI, not sure if the webcast is still available but the question from the Barclays rep (at least I think it was Barclays) regarding Imetelstat was asked at about 1 hour and 4 minutes and 30 seconds into the call. The question started to get answered around 1 hour and 5 minutes into the call.....in case anyone wants to go to the JNJ site - perhaps other folks would have a different opinion (if it’s even available anymore).

But either way unfortunately, whether the inflection was present or not, it doesn’t buy us much in terms of our bet.
