HA! I WISH!!!! I guess I should have caveated my post by saying I have a significant amount of shares (FOR ME)--everything is relative, right? Alas, that amounts to waaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaay LESS than over 500K shares but more than 5K!!! :)
At any rate, I do want to go, I'd like to see Geert up close and personal and hear what he has to say. I invested in CVM loonng ago and did get reverse splitted until I finally dropped out with what little I had left over, but always thought the science was encouraging and have kept my eye on this for years. Jumped in, making several buys when I saw it headed back up into the 3s...and have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I like the positive sentiments, even though I am invested with trepidation....I feel like this is CVM's year, it kinda has to be if they are truly going to succeed.
I lucked out with Dendreon, bought it the day the FDA approved it for $4 and cashed out at $58 right before it hit its major snag, but PCYC was my best investment EVER, and yet I kept selling off my positions as the stock kept making its climb (because I kept hearing the "pigs get slaughtered slogan in my head)--I did well, but considering I had bought close to 20K shares when it was trading at $1.19, I probably would be living on an island somewhere right about now, instead of dreaming about it!! I held through the SRPT FDA decision which was hard, because there were so many naysayers, and like a COMPLETE IDIOT, bailed shortly thereafter (when it was like $80/share...they are now at $117, sigh--trying to remind myself that I still made money so its OK. I got KILLED on ONCY or Onty, I forget the symbol, and I jumped out of ISRG, NFLX, AMZN and GOOGLE WAY too soon. I sometimes wonder what the hell I'm doing investing when I obviously don't know a thing about it--I tend to go by my gut and what I read on the boards, which is stupid, I know, but it's worked in may instances--sooooooooo...I've been keeping up with Sushi's Board and trying to ingest everything written here to keep informed. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughtful and informative posts!!!
