He totally tried to paint it as horrible, no doubt.

I actually think he may be correct on this one. But, I also think he is failing to see it as a strategic move on NW Bio's parts. At this stage the Company will try to keep the share issuance to a minimum. If the science is successful than using an equity line of credit actually is to our benefit, not our detriment. Instead of a flat out 14 million shares dilution all at once, our shares would only be diluted to the amount of shares that get issued between now and Phase iii report out, depending on their financing needs. They might end up only drawing on a fraction of the shares. No one can control when patient events come in, it's better to have a draw that covers a longer period of their capital needs. I think that may be how they set it up. Using an equity line of credit may end up being a smarter move, verse straight out dilution. With possibly weeks to go before we hear, this insure they can get to the end without running out of funds. And it also should ensure a floor. I personally think if it is LPC than they will certainly risk holding some to go long too. Time will tell.

if people are shorting a stock they do so because they do not believe in the science....they think it will fail and so they should have no financial interest in telling the world that it will fail. It would make them richer if it was pumped up by those that have an interest to see it approved only for it to then fail....opportunity to short and short again because ultimately If the science sucks it will fail......which is ironic as they have more to gain if the stock goes up in the short term. Likewise longs who believe have an opportunity to buy cheaply if they believe the science works...I don't buy any argument where investors do it to help other investors.

Longs should buy this stock to see it through to the end and not to trade in or out as others are able to control the stock in this period of waiting for trials to finish and be approved or rejected. Day trading this stock is very volatile and defies logic.

In the case of NWBO we have some saying they have shorted the stock or don't believe in the science or just predict continued doom and gloom that spend every day posting on here telling us that it's all a big scam or LP is a criminal. It's kind of odd that they do this from a position of shorting however as what they are doing is helping drive the stock price down artificially...with the possibility of achieving bankruptcy which is the only way they can be certain 100% to win if they actually believe the science has some substance. If the short position ( naked included ) was large enough it may be the only way out. So the more these guys scream this is all a big scam and spend their time telling everyone it's a scam (like AF) the more convinced I am that the science is good. It only works if genuine investors stop buying....so in this case it has worked up to a point....will it go bankrupt before a clinical conclusion one way or the other? I am interested in people's opinion on this...

The risk here for longs is bankruptcy....and the ability to raise cash to continue operations as various clinical milestones are reached, which in the end have to come to an end. If you believe in the science you have done so based on evidence or updates previously given then it's safe to assume others will also and some of those invest on favourable terms to themselves and unfavourable to other shareholders but the all important strategy has to be keep the raises small and then the pain is less for everyone else....I believe Mgt have the ability to raise cash as painful as it is because the science works....time will govern how sweet the upside will be for longs. Do we really believe that AF, PhaseV, the lawsuits and all the various attacks have been done in the name of protecting long shareholders or helping to deliver the only way out for those that made a bad bet...
