Its like anything else...you have to subject any serious inquiry to real standards..it is precisely why, despite the many inadequacies of the FDA, I have great faith at what emerges from clinical trials..there should be one set of facts from which we might develop different opinions....

the FDA will state whether Bricidilin is efficacious as a single dose treatment...there will not be some different interpretations of that from "experts" with an ideological driven agenda...how CTIX moves forward with that game changer is a different story and it will be a pretty damn good problem to have

as for Krugman, he, like lots of folks on this board, tethers his opinions to actual facts...theres nothing wrong with being a Keynesian...imho, its not nearly as bankrupt an economic model as free market, supply side economics....the only requirement ought to be that everybody work of the same set of facts because thats the only way to objectively determine what moves the needle

John Williams does "good work" because he skews numbers to fit his economic worldview...I will take it seriously when he subjects his theory to peer review

OK..lets save some lives and make some $$$$..not much better than that!

GO CTIX!

I think you'd be surprised at how many non-traditional sources are used by large firms to evaluate deals and markets. However, to each his own. I've been a fan of several "nut jobs" and their rantings and I've often found those opinions more valuable than the knowledgeable types in the ivy towers. Fringe thinkers are those that offer real insight not found at the consensus level.

To point, the herd isn't betting huge on CTIX at this stage in the game. Too many unknowns and counter logic things going on... one question for example: "if Brilacidin is the cure for the majority of bacterial infections, why hasn't a big pharma bought it up and why hasn't the market reacted more positively?" It's a valid question, no? But I don't think the answer is knowable.

However, those of us who are betting big in CTIX think the market will come around at some point. That line of logic is certainly "fringe thinking". It's the same with my views of the economy and the market. I'm okay being in the minority, it's served me well for many years. Economic theories are just that, theories.

It's my goal not to derail CTIX centric conversations today so I'm officially hanging up my economic and market discussion shoes.
