Each of the replies to your post make good points. It's obvious that WS has no real belief in what AVXL has to sell, therefore no real money comes in. After being here seven long years, I sometimes have little belief myself. But I'm staying long because nothing revealed about the science in that period was sufficient to change my mind, emotions be d*mned. I'm resigned that the powerful forces that are either lined up against AVXL (AF/minions, shorts, BP, dementia mgmt industry, et al) or whose indifference / incompetence (FDA, TGA, et al) stymies real progress might win out and blarcamesine gets buried in obscurity. So be it, life and death go on.
I do think the Nov 8 sweeping out of the many hideously corrupt people now occupying power will stimulate global markets in a positive way, AVXL being a beneficiary. Markets are already starting to sense that there may be hope for this country after all.
