It's no wonder that GOG wanted to be involved in phase 3.

Another kind of wonder, Jim. I call it the Zippo Effect from an old-timer telling me that at the depth of The Great Depression a fellow tried to sell him stock in a new outfit called Zippo Lighter.

"I wouldn't put a nickel into anything called "Zippo," said our hero.

Today outrageous names are not a drawback but claims of wonders untold are.

Imagine Prof. Yvonne Paterson from the Penn University School of Nursing trying to tell biotech promoters about how inducing infection with an often deadly bacteria in dying cancer patients with a depleted immune system could save their lives.

The Great Biotech Boom came and went into the Great Biotech Bust and Prof. Paterson whiled away her time in the laboratory and classroom telling of an unlikely wonder that only fools would believe.

I attended the first Annual Meeting of Advaxis with all the other gullibles who could swallow such silly story but even this gullible fool had trouble with a young, naive CEO telling of borrowing money from the largest rat among all predatory lenders. Cornell has since changed its name but seems to have disappeared into the ether with a million other such crooks when Big Banks came into total domination of the financial predation and political world.

I have a fondness yet for the Black Knight who rescued the bled-out corpse from Cornell but was forced into a dark corner himself with lots of funny money financing. Bad storytellers will try to fool you that those lightning bolts that lit up the darkness in a storm were sanitizing sunlight but don't believe such a yarn.

The current routineers helping themselves to a pot of gold before there is even a rainbow in the storms may save the company in the end but I think it most unlikely that a very new platform will again be banished to its grave.

All JMO.

Best, Terry
