Oldguy, your words are profound and meaningful ...
The problem is that true to the American way, most participants here need a "quick fix." They view 2,5, or 7 years more as a failure. They probably should not be invested.
They don't understand that failure occurs when one quits, not before.
Arnold provided a perfect example the other day in his post, # 52127. It illustrates what the hurdles are, and what the time frames are, that a biotech company has to overcome to be successful.
Everyone should read that, and if it's too long for many to read, then let them eat cake.
The point is that it's brand new science. It will take time.
And unfortunately, the lack of information leads to negative suppositions.
My circle tells me that the company will have the financing it needs. There's a great deal at stake. So I have no worries in that area.
Would I like to see multi-millions in my portfolio sooner than later? Sure would. But ... I can wait.
Good luck to you sir.
Stay well,
