Troymister,
I believe the run up will happen fast, that news will be bunched for maximum effect and that whatever price offered for partnership or other by Merck will then be justifiable due to the terms allowing for longer term value being realized in any conversion of stock for stock. I believe Merck and NWBO know that the price of the stock could be driven to the stratosphere by investor groups then a return back to earth and that the long term and short term goals of any association with NWBO could be delayed by waiting for the volatility to play itself out. That waiting might also allow other interested parties to attempt to get involved. Bottom line is that NWBO has the upper hand now and Reddit and others are potentially in the picture and that reality changes the picture so much that I believe Merck will make the offer that is truly fair in recognizing the value that both parties bring to the table long term and that will be looking more like 50/50 partners on future revenue generated by the DCVax platform part of the association than not. You can pick a price to start with but there will be either a very high price soon created by volatility or a very high price driven by growth of a new entity down the road. The way the news comes out will determine the initial price. If you were Merck how would you want it to come out? I think above $25 is very likely based on the delay we are experiencing. Best wishes.
