NW LA: Truth has summed it up in a nutshell. For all practical purposes...it's over. Malcolm might manage to hold on for a few more quarters, but the company is finished. It's only hope was synthetic DNA, and by Malcolm's own admission there is no market for it. They blew that big time. When they might have been able to mount an all out effort to market sythetic DNA they sat on their asses and expected the market to miraculously come to them. The market went it's own merry way. Vical makes its own synthetic DNA. So does VGX. Every legitimate DNA vaccine maker will do likewise. They don't respect CYGX's patent application and apparently don't expect any widely applicable patent to be granted. Neither do I. As for developing their own products, well, that is beyond their capabilities and finances. CYGX is a shell of a company, undercapitalized in the extreme. IF the former CFO and Vice Pres (Wunderlich and Vasquez) get awarded back pay and a severence package by the arbitrator then that would just about put the company out of business and send what little assets it has into the hands of some schemers in Connecticut. I'm sorry if you're out a significant sum of money. I feel sorry for all the shareholders who got conned by these guys. I know people who are out tens of thousands of dollars. My only remaining hope is that some federal law enforcement branch puts CYGX out of business for good and locks up the perpetrators for a nice long stay in prison. I hope Truthhurts succeeds in helping to see that come to pass. Remember, you can deduct $3000 of capital losses against regular income in any tax year, and any capital losses can be carried over into subsequest years. Say you lost $30,000....you can deduct $3000 a year for the next 10 tax years, or you can offset any future capital gains with your remaining capital losses. It's no consolation prize I know, but it helps to ease the pain a little. Good luck to you.
