The biggest mistake NWBO made was not to raise a large amount of money when the PP's were 12 just like DNDN did on approval. The Vultures wouldn't be attacking the company and wouldn't have to get this financing.

Afford, I am limited to one post per day. Here's my response to your comments.

Please show me where NW has never made an investing mistake. He could have been fooled like some here believe they were.His top notch research team also puts their pants on one foot and then the other. His investment team is no better or worse than our team on the boards.

First, what difference (as to whether “NW has never made a mistake”) does it make with regard to his $180 million NWBO investment ($30 million AFTER the screening halt, mind you)? Are you implying that if NW was ever wrong in the past, he must be wrong now or could never be right?

Second, I take issue with your suggestion NW and his investment team are equivalent to mb posters. NW, managed the Invesco Perpetual High Income fund for approx 25 years and achieved an annual year-on-year return of more than 13%. NW Has 25 years of stellar returns; 25 years of developing and honing his investment methodology, investigatory processes and industry contacts and billions of dollars and influence to boot. NW ain’t your average MB investor.

Third, my point in discussing NW’s investment was not to declare he could not be wrong or was always right. My purpose was merely to imply that given NW’s insight, experience, resources and 25-year stunningly-stellar track record, it is clear he learned something spectacularly positive to invest $180 million dollars (which was approx 50% of NWBO’s market cap but only 27% of outstanding shares). People like NW don’t give away money for free. They do their dd and, unlike us, they have the money, contacts and much more access, to perform their dd a whole lot better than mb investors.

Please show proof that NWBO's product(s) are proven that they work.

The only definitive proof that NWBO’s products work is FDA approval. Of course I can’t show that and I never said definitively that NWBO’s products work. What I said was, “if DCVax-L or Direct works, Nwbo will get to the finish line” and “The results from the open (arm) trial is not speculation. The sickest of the sick benefited from DCVax-L. This doesn't mean NWBO will definitely win the fight for FDA approval. But to say they won't, given the evidence we have (even though it's limited), is clearly speculation.”

When you take into consideration, DCVax-L open arm trial info and Germany’s and England’s EA programs, I believe again, there is evidence (though limited) that DCVax is likely to be efficacious.

I did not say what you imply I said—that DCVAX works. Please read my comments above again and inform me of the “holes”.

But the proof that is glaring is that they failed to adequately and timely funded their Company when they successfully could have....mgt is nowhere to be found imho.
They seem o pay all their bills including their large salaries (for a bk eminent company) to owners and paying exorbitant transfers to their related company imho.
They appear bold and stubbornly cocky with NW imho based on how they handled him. They seem to use the current Big Pharma/Gov't conspiracies to their own convenient needs in hiding behind their wall of silence imho.
They seem to be giving the long finger to everyone that invested in them even giving the impression that they will go BK if they have to, go big or go home, do anything that they have to , finish the trial even if an agency says they can stop etc imho, so there are multiple warning signs that they themselves are alluding to but no one here wants to see it or accept it. This is all my opinion.

I won’t argue with you on these points. NWBO does “seem” to be doing all of those things. I have no explanation for their silence except for (1) the pending lawsuits and (2) the blinded trials. But, even these explanations should not prevent Linda from advocating the company publicly with regard to it’s unblinded open arm trial. I’m not a lawyer but I would think it preferable to be sued five years from now—after approval—then to let the stock fall from $10 to .85! I can think of no excuse to justify their silence!

But, I am sure you understand that you and I do not have the insight or info that Linda does. Everything we “feel” or everything that “seems” wrong is merely speculation and as you said, “opinion”.

I wish we were at $12 and NWBO had some mgmt that took advantage of the timing of those all time highs. They knew what they had then and where the pps was and that they would need finding and what did they do. Did they think NW would keep investing, how can that be since some here say LP was afraid that nw would take over the company. So many contradictions. I really feel some here are shorter who bash and some here work for the company as plants. All I know is when bk comes or a stock split most of you all will disappear and my life savings will forever be gone. yes I am the fool for investing.

Hindsight is 20/20. We can’t go back. We can only learn from our “adventures” and apply what we learned in the future. My lesson from investing in NWBO is to not get too greedy. If my investment doubles, I'll take my original investment (and perhaps 10- 20 % profit) off the table. Stock prices seldom go straight up.

I’m sorry for your life’s savings. But, you are not a fool. You took a risk, a calculated risk. Sometimes it doesn’t pan out. But, it’s too early to say right now with NWBO. The prospect for NWBO’s science has NEVER changed! I am still hopeful and am not selling one damn share. In fact, I’m accumulating!
