THIS IS A TEST

The current price action is a test to see if you know what you own, or if you will dumbly hand your shares over the wiseguys.

Do you know that the company's own management - in addition to their largest investors - just put more of their own money back into this company at $4 LAST WEEK? Or that that management is among the best and most experienced in the industry (and just sold a $20 Billion company), and that much of that management has just come on board in the past few months? Do you know that this company has been working at this science (and earlier iterations of this science) since the 1970's? That they've been trailblazers, with a ton of patents, and an intellectual lineage that reaches the earliest stages of some of the most exciting biotech science around? Or that in less than a year this company has grown 10-fold in market cap, and in the past six months (since their last clinical trial results) they've gone from under 5% to more than 50% institutional ownership? Do you know that if their technology can do what they say it can do, they will be one of the largest biotechs in the world, while right now you can buy in at a $300 million valuation?

If you don't know this, then perhaps $4.50 will scare you out of your shares? No? What if we can push it down to $4.25? What about $4? Will you sell your shares to us then? Huh? Will you?

Pass the test, and you get to ride the rocket.

So, do you know what you own?
