I am surprised by the lack of analysis taking place on the negative possibilities of the next several catalysts. No investor on the long side is ever injured by good news. Its the potential for bad news that the longs need to focus on. I suggest we slap each others back after the checks cash.

I had a substantial (and overweight) position in GCVRZ. The consensis among the better informed longs (Chris Demuth's SA Forum) was that recommendation and approval was a 90% certainty. This was in my lifetime the most dedicated and informed group forum I had ever participated in. We were competently lead by Chris with substantial DD. The day before the FDA recommendation panel conveined, I sold 40% of my holdings at the CVR's high. It is never a mistake to ring the bell and pocket gains. The next day I awoke to find the remainder of my position $30,000 down, wiping out the gains of a reasonably successful 2013 in pre market.
I am a believer in NWBO. My wife and I lost our 12 year old son to GBM at UCLA 3 years ago. He was inoperable. He passed 60 days after diagnosis. There was no chance. The team at UCLA is the "A" team. I believe DC VAX (L) has a substantial positive impact on approximately 30% of those treated with it, and a positive impact on another 30%. This is not the beginning of the end for Cancer, but it is the end of the beginning cancer treatments.
