Funny thing, many of the people who responded to my email I can't remember seeing before. I'll post everyone's numbers without comment with their handle, probably by Sunday. I was surprised to see Sir P at zero, but it may be his way of saying, he expect the company to be bought out by then.

Anything is possible, but I hope we remain an independent company, perhaps with a BP partner. I believe that's possible at any time after the Journal is published. If in fact they're speaking with one or more potential partners they might even be assisting with the BLA under confidentiality, of course.

I'm sure that anyone who's aware of the trial results is bound not to discuss it, or purchase the stock, as long as it hasn't been announced. Violation of a confidentiality agreement resulting in insider trading can cost people their freedom, as in Martha Stewart and her boyfriend, the CEO of IMCL found out.

I would suspect that if either partnership or buyout occurs it will have been in discussions for many months, perhaps over a year, but we'll never really know for how long. It may be triggered by a certain event, or achieving a certain price, or perhaps it won't happen until after substantial revenue is developed, and at that time the company may not want it at all.

My biggest stock mistake was not purchasing AMGN very early in its existence. I could have had it at about $15, when I didn't, each time it grew substantially it split. After a decade it had split a grand total of 48 to 1 while moving to $100. I believe that NWBO has that kind of potential for growth, and possibly in under a decade.
