First time leading a company...and yet, he single-handedly saved it from BK and is now debt-free with $150 Million in the bank
Good point.
For the following : we need to wait
First time doing trials...and yet, every trial has been a success
I would define 'Success' as FDA approval. So not yet. Have to wait before declaring.
First time trying to commercialize...and yet, we are 6-12 months away from commercializing A2-73 for Rett
We need to wait and what you suggest will be, once the FDA approves (Hopefully commercializing in 12 months).
First time dealing with regulators...and yet, he was smart enough to hire the top-dog from the FDA to ensure our approval process
Again, it is the combo of data and FDA that ensures we have approval. But I agree that hiring ex FDA guys is a step in the right direction and should only help.
First time dealing directly with shareholders...as it turns out, the largest shareholders of AVXL are institutions.
Depends on how one sees it - when compared to other companies like SAVA, or ANVS or in absolute terms - do any top institutions/individuals (Black Rock, Baker Bros. Fidelity etc. hold a nice % of AVXL shares in their portfolio (as standalone or distinctly AVXL - excluding index funds that are forced to buy a certain % of shares) ) or is the % of AVXL shares held by all the institutions combined a big number? How many / Any insiders have a decent % via buying and not options?
Quite an accomplishment, no?
Seems to me that you are in a hurry , unlike Missling.
