IF I WERE A RICH MAN ---------------------
Time for all of you whiners to drop the chalupa and move on then. Not enough to buy a taco .... sheesh ! Stop whining and look at the big picture .....
If you have the money to speculate with, PPHM is one of the perfect ones .. but you have to be patient and willing to take a loss if you are wrong. Whining and threatening lawsuits and shaking your pitchforks at the BOD or management will get you nowhere -- all the news has been reported, nothing has been held back -- if anything management and this site have given more info than most of us can possibly absorb -- and if you are playing with lunch money you have no business here anyway and will get no mercy in the courts or the SEC if the whole thing collapses. No broker would ever recommend this stock EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO because they would be violating every prudent man rule on record. If you are a PPHM shareholder are on your own.....
But ...... just remember, before all this "shorting" started Swartz bought shares of this puppy for his IRA -- he wont have to pay taxes on that part of his investment until he retires EVEN IF THERE IS A BUYOUT -- so much for "stupid management".
These "stupid guys" are waiting for Phase II results when everyone will know that the odds of their meds working are much much higher than now ..... Why take 3 when they can get 11 if they wait six months to a year?
If you know the science is good why NOT wait for full value ? Only greedy retail accounts with scared money will take the money and run -- and why should THEY be rewarded ?
And when have they EVER been rewarded ???
With the Dow and the S&P making new all time highs, what the hell are you and your scared money doing here if you don't believe in the science ???
And as far as hedge fund shorting, what a perfect way to play this ... if the science isn't there, they gain when the company runs out of money and goes bankrupt ..... If the science IS there, they gain by the volatility play when the stock gets near its takeover price (of at least 11) -- the stock will go up more than its current price during any HOUR after the feeding frenzy hits -- just as a pure volatility play (It ALWAYS happens that way ... now I know why). The days that follow any takeover or partnership announcement will give the hedgies ample time to buy back their shorts and then sell to the pharma that buys PPHM at a profit -- probably many times over what they originally risked ....
For those who are puking their guts out here and whining like babies --- also remember that rich folk can let their money sit - which is how many of them got to be rich in the first place --- if PPHM wins they will win big, if it doesn't they take a small loss and move on --- they don't mind the dead money for the possibility of a huge payoff. And losers are almost always impatient. If you can wait this is as riskless as you can get if you are short.
I have watched other stocks play this game differently -- and they buried their investors while the rumor mill went wild -- worse yet the "management" sold out at the highs leaving the little guys holding the bag when reality hit.
These guys aren't playing that game ... why risk the lawsuits and have to answer insider trading charges if things go right?
They don't need or want retail investors -- nothing but trouble. What they DO want is time for the anticipated Phase II to play out. All YOU need is patience (and a tranquilizer).
One more thing .... as for the multiple Phase II trials .....
What a helluva way to have the stock go up on good news six separate times when and if the good news hits .... I will bet (and I have by buying PPHM so I have been) that the shorts will be nowhere to be found after the first positive Phase II results are disclosed ...
and then Look Out Above ......
all my opinion of course ...
but that and a share of PPHM won't buy me a taco .....
