The glasnost comparison was a good one and happily NWBO is in a much better position than the Soviet Union.
NWBO is a rising power, after all.
Even when I disagree with their media relations strategy I trust the management with my money.
You may be right, and we don't have all the facts that go in their calculations ironically enough because of their limited transparency.
But here is what I know:
NWBO's management has the science right and they understand the importance of cost effectiveness and are taking both challenges equally seriously.
When our product goes to market it will save lives because it is both effective and affordable.
Whatever the effect on the short term share price, management's whole approach will be very good for all of us in the long run.
After all, the single digit price has given me an extra year to accumulate shares.
I might keep expressing frustration at the media and investor relations side out of natural impatience.
But I know that Ms. Powers' has an eye for the main chance and we are likely going all the way and even if we don't are ability to go all the way will mean our buyout will be enormously lucrative.
Sir Neil Woodford is only the most famous of the people who agree with me about where this company is headed.
