AKASIDNEY....you are spot on....I challenged Dew's assertion
of at least a half a dozen slam dunks and needless to say
Dew's non-reply exposed him to be a flagrant error-ridden
poster....kudos to you for an intelligent factual post..

>>Q-dot: You, as others earlier, are conflating and inflating JP's comments. I'll assume your motives are pure (that is, trying to point out that a healthy level of skepticism is always a good idea in investing bio), but that doesn't allow you to make up facts.

Assume what you like but be careful about throwing around terms like "doesn't allow you to make up facts". You run the risk of looking like a defensive contortionist.

I made up no facts and I did not claim that Podolski said anything 6 times. I quoted two snippets from other posters in a thread where they agreed on the need for some caution in interpreting the CEOs manner and language, and I did so because I agreed with their caution. Clark started his comment with "You are referring to the same thing I said..." so I think it was fair to make the assumption he agreed with Dew's thesis.

You are trying to make this about what element of the trial he was referring to, or the number of times the phrase was used and, in doing so, I submit that you have lost the overall point. That is, experienced and trustworthy CEOs do not say things like "slam dunk" with regard to ongoing clinical trials. Period.

If you can honestly say that his track record of talking up his drug candidates through successive boom and ultimately bust scenarios does not concern you as an investor you are more risk tolerant than me. Perhaps we can just agree to disagree without claiming anyone is making shit up?

Akasidney, excellent work. Its a shame that some posters find it necessary to bash companies in order to make themselves look better.

Aka - Your post from today (castigating Q-dot for 'making up' JP being extremely confident inre safety)

Furthermore, and more importantly, he NEVER used it [the term 'slam dunk'] in relation to the safety of proellex, the fact suggested by your placing Dews quote about pumping next to Clark about safetys.

Essentially you are saying JP wasn't overly sure of safety

But your own quote earlier on JP's view of safety is:

He's absolutely sure of efficacy ("the drug is overwhelmingly efficacious)" and safety, and is willing to wait to get the full value of the drug.

I put to you that whether JP used the words 'slam dunk' to describe safety is largely immaterial to Q-Dot's point. We all heard JP being extremely confident about safety whether he used those words or not.

So Q-Dot is getting the facts approximately right, per your own quote. I am not trying to zap you - but I would suggest that when our opponents get unsupportably accused of immoral behavior it bodes poorly for Due Diligence.
