Wild speculation. If LP steps aside in favour of Dr. Duffy at the eleventh hour after all these years she has put in, that sends a powerful signal that the trial has either failed or the results are mediocre at best. Not much value for Dr. Duffy to shop. I doubt very much that LP will step aside at this point. That is like admitting defeat. She is not a quitter.
I don't know what "interesting" or "very interesting" means. It may be interesting but have no to negative effect on the share price, but interesting never-the-less.
Bottom line, LP/LG have come to the end of the line. What counts is TLD and "very interesting" meaning stellar results. If they have not unblinded by the time of the ASM, I am quite certain they won't announce a partnership or other collaboration.
To long suffering investors, the only thing that is very exciting/very interesting is TLD. Everything else follows that. LP and LG know this. They also know that the string has run out and they can't shuck n' jive anymore. They have drawn the line at the ASM. Big P, at this point, is not going to do anything until TLD is revealed. Everything hinges on TLD. Other than that nothing is "very interesting and exciting".
Since LP scheduled the ASM for April 18th, two months hence, so that shareholders could make plans to be present, I wonder about the venue of the meeting. Surely, it will not be held at their lawyers' conference room as in years past. If it is the latter venue, you can bet its more of the same shuck n' jive. Shareholders are in no mood to "stay tuned" anymore and I think after the ASM announcement wrt to "interesting" and wanting as many shareholders as possible attending the meeting, LP has got to produce. I think there will be great disappointment if TLD is not announced by then. It is my feeling that if TLD is not announced prior to or at the ASM, a date certain thereafter won't be announced either. Keeping true to their strategy, NWBO will not want to telegraph to nefarious forces such a date if they want to catch them with their pants down. Between now and the ASM is the time to do so if there are nefarious forces at work as LG has consistently averred. If LP disappoints yet again at the ASM, raising money will be difficult and very toxic. What credibility management had will be gone with a blown, bottom line and stay tuned ASM. No doubt, LP/LG understand this very well.
Accordingly, I feel fairly optimistic that "very interesting and exciting" means TLD and well timed PRs/filings. JMHO.
