Hi Biocqr,

I am not sure how much you know about $ICOTF or ICo Therapeutics, but I can tell you that I have known this Co for 5 years and have been in and out twice before finally putting lots of dollars almost 18 months ago.

The problem that iCo has had was that it is one of the largest US based trials done by a Company that does not trade there. The Company has changed that last December by getting listed on the US QX exchange, but still pending DTC.

The idea of being a Canadian biotech and trying to get a Vancouver crowd to give proper valuation has proven to be weak and hence the migration to the US side. The Company started a run earlier this year, which was stalled by a financing that gives the Company enough cash to run to Q4 2015. The funding came through 3 US based funds and it was done through HC Wainright.

If you check HC's transactions, you will see that they only take high profile mandates.

If you look at what they have to with Rexhan or IGX tech our of Canada you can see how powerful they can be.

See below who bought in that latest financing and that may give you more comfort.

Happy to discuss more.
