Is it simply a real estate investment? The long article by Ms. Eade said other people bought the property to lease it out, and when they did not succeed, sold the property. Ms. Eade stated NWBO bought it for their own use. I don't think attention to this detail is coincidental. Moreover, I think it is telling that it she made a point of calling investor relations about the 500 acre purchase, and IR said they could answer at a later time.
Ms. Powers has publicly stated how large the market for NWBO products might be. I think she stated they constantly mention this -- but it depends on the results. She also showed how large the market might be -- as a complete extrapolation. You'll laugh at me for providing a homely analogy, but when I was young, some of my friends parents started a restaurant. To skip all the details, and get straight to the point, they weren't ready for a surprise front page write up in the local newspaper two days before they opened. They weren't ready for the mass of people lined outside their doors, and they never recovered from the issues caused by that.
The potential market for DCVax products is anybody's guess until results start coming in on trials. There could be overwhelming demand if one is not prepared. I suppose she could have chosen to tell us about what appears to be 460 currently undevelopable acres, but right now, it's farm land with little added cost to the main transaction. If she did discuss it early, could it not be used against her by shorts and local residents for something that may never transpire, and if it did transpire (outrageous success and expansion), the town and investors might embrace her foresightedness when that day came. "Oh that was a good idea Linda, lucky thing you thought of it." Whereas if the dreams do not quite fit reality, the farming land is a low tax expense that could be moved on to another buyer should that day become apparent. It seems like further forbrained risk reduction.
