Thanks for the link. I sent Barrons an email, to Mr Kimelamn's attention
It was basically as follows:
Dear M. Kimelman,
I found your article on Seeking Alpha interesting and timely.
I am a very small investor. As part of my rather minuscule portfolio, I own a small amount of NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC). I have felt personally damaged by Seeking Alpha’s facilitation of anf the platform they gave to an anonymous writer under the pseudonym of the Pump Terminator.
NNVC is not absolutely perfect in their operations. I know of no company that is. All companies undergo growing pains and new cercumstances that might otherwise have altered their approaches. However, I have followed them for years and believe them to be quite genuine, with good goals in mind and often much more respect for their shareholders than many other companies I have investigated in 40 years of investing.
The recent Seeking Alpha article on NNVC being a house of cards strongly accuses them of wrongdoing and the scamming of investors. It was a hit piece pure and simple. I strongly suspect a crime has been committed and that Seeking Alpha is culpable in addition to the nameless author. This resulted in a significant share price drop and fuels deleterious misinformation about the company and its technology.
The sad aspect is that I believe that NNVC has a remarkable gift to humankind. I have studied science and technology for over 40 years as well. I have designed complex systems and executed million dollar R&D projects. While not in the medical field, I have ties and interest there as well. The Street recently had a short advisor that NNVC could be a stock to watch to triple or more. Making money, however, was not my entire reason for investing in it. The effectiveness of their approach to destroy a viral attack on a biological system is utterly amazing. Notable researchers in medicine, such as Dr. Eva Harris, and others have been quite impressed. Data from lethal animal models shows phenomenal efficacy. Their approach could be 1000x more effective that currently available anti-viral medications. Toxicity appears low to non-existent (properly performed TOX studies are still needed to confirm). The additional amazing aspect is that they can quickly tailor the product to destroy nearly any identifiable virus.
Damaging the ability of this company to pursue its discoveries and potential products is an assault not only on its principals and its stakeholders, but on humanity itself.
