There were a number of longs who were not pleased that woodford focused on the phase5 report. It had no credibility and did not impact the pps until Woodford sent out his letter asking for an investigation. As the stock fell and as Linda uncovered the conflict of interest, he said nothing. He just watched the pps fall. If he would have said these positive statements then, the pps would not be this low. It is reasonable, imo, that longs believed Woodford was up to no good.
Woodfords statements are more than "slightly encouraging". This is particularly true given that he has raised more $$$ to invest in leading edge healthcare stocks. He essentially said Linda handled the situation correctly and the phase5 report was bogus and that he believed in nwbo's science and future. I remember you, Ready, crying about how Linda screwed up the relationship. Clearly you seem to wrong or at least we know now that Woodford disagrees with you.
I think longs believe in NWBO and its science. That belief will waver ONLY if the science indicates otherwise. Most of us believe the pps reflects the manipulation by NWBO shorts/detractors and has little or no bearing on the science.
just my 2 cents...
