perhaps a better term the critics could have used is "shell game" or carnival barkers to describe the past and present comments of PPHM management.
If you had followed PPHM management, you would know that one of their biggest criticisms is that they NEVER pump the stock and let it slide all the way down to .40 without trying to defend the company with any type of fluff PR. If anything, their fault is underplaying not overplaying their hands over the past few years which makes Mr. King's recent enthusiasm as much out of character as anything I've come across with regards to a biotech CEO. It's perhaps the single most exciting part of this story that, with a background in science not sales, Mr. King has seemingly overnight become dynamic and confident in his presentation after seeing the trial data.
Maybe he just slept at a Holiday Inn Express or went to a Tony Robbins seminar. Or maybe...just maybe...bavi works. We'll know soon enough.
