I don't subscribe to the anti-Missling thinking here. I like him. He is smart and thoughtful and not greedy. He has made some bad decisions, this is true: he pulled a Daedalus on us and wasn't cautious enough with Rett and AD. But, Anavex is worth multiples of $3 even now and I think they can make good decisions now and turn this around.
