The whole matter becomes with each week more and more messy. I was and I am always impressed about the expert's input here on the board as I have no clue about Biotech. We have here on board good knowledge about the medicine and the process with FDA.
Most of us have got the opinion we have a great medicine with Pro140, but to get it into the market we need a partnership for financing and production/distribution. Or we need a company who buys the medicine (eg Gilead was named here). Most hoped this will take place rather sooner than later for a SP between 5 to 50$.
Management was all the time in-transparent, not informative and many times messy (eg how they handled the warrants for the last 4 months). They announced well in advance (why?) the long expected RS. Experts were right and RS run the SP down to 0.5. Well done!
Chaotic (? in this case) as they are (or just seem to be), they cancelled the RS. We have actually 2 very contradictory info which let me believe that someone is not telling the (complete) truth. Why?
Info out of a letter (posted by Saltz) of Nader 1 day before announcement of stop of R/S: "Furthermore, the path to NASDAQ has been considers several times in the past and we changed our mind due to the conditions not being favorable (in our assessment).
Info from Tonysd54 from a call with management: " They postponed the RS because they couldn't meet the capital requirements. Hopefully lesson learned. "
If they really postponed it as they couldn't meet the requirements, then these are a punch of hopeless managers, better we sell. Do we really believe that with having the highly appreciated expert from Gilead on board? Doesn't sound realistic. So I intend not to believe the message which Tony got.
If they postponed R/S for not favorable conditions according to Nader, then these are hopeless managers as the talk about R/S for many months and years. Can we believe this? I don't believe the message which we got from Nader's mail.
They learned about these problems only during the last 3 weeks??? Why the announcement so early??? Why to keep the door open to come back with a R/S??? Nothing fits to each other except for 2 reasons: they are chaotic greenhorns (I don't believe so) or everything is just half truth to keep us in the dark while they make a deal.
However we might find out during the coming weeks. This type of navigation for a company is whatever the outcome will be very strange.
Let's stay ration and put the puzzle together. What picture do the pieces create.
Waiting for Godot continues. We don't know when and if and we don't know how he looks like, so when and how we will know.
Maybe the novel "the castle" from Franz Kafka is another suitable comparison for what we experience.
