CP, I did not specify SK's "year end" partnering comments being his only comments. There were numerous comments in the many quarters prior to that. Maybe Frustrated or Corp have been keeping tabs and can help me out with the exact numbers! : )
But I would argue that SK's comments of partnership over the long term have set certain investor expectations. Why else would analysts ask about it in the cc? Why else would Peregrine have hired Worsley? And why would they have Worsley on the agenda of a cc specifically commenting on partnerships? They know there are expectations that have been set. How many investors on this board look at the pre-market action of PPHM in hopes that this is the day a deal is finally announced? Much of it is due to Peregrine's CEO continuously insisting that partnership talks are in existence.
As far as investing in PPHM because of King? I cannot say he would be a reason I invested in a company. He is not CEO material in my opinion. A good lab manager? Yes. But not CEO. He may have co-invented Bavi but he has not communicated a clear business strategy. I cannot excuse his lack of leadership to being gun-shy due to Fargo. He may be a good guy at the office, and a good guy in person but he is not, in my opinion, a CEO.
