Biosect, I was not suggesting they would or must have an ASCO abstract. I am suggesting that the Industry Theater sets an expectation for news leading up to that event. I highly doubt the Theater is the forum where they will break TLD news. They shouldn’t, it would lack credibility. I believe too that a paper is their plan, but still checked the abstracts just in case (and if we are all honest with ourselves, there was a little bit of hope associated too.)
By purchasing that Theater and putting out an exhibit booth once again they have set an expectation that they will discuss updated information and it is time to deliver. A Direct update would do nothing to appease longs, physicians, or anyone else wanting to understand what is going on with DCVax. That Theater represents the end of a Quiet Period. If that expectation was not their intention, then they should have stayed home. I believe it was, and they hoped that signal would have a positive effect. But doubt has set in everywhere and that foreshadowing has done nothing to lift the stock price.
