Lou, why not us? Probably because PPHM management and most longs that I know would not consider a 60% premium to current market capitalization adequate payment for a buy out. I mean this seriously. A $3+ stock with a 60% buyout premium would go for $5 pps or just $1 pps pre split. If you look what has happened to share price for most stocks since the market started dipping in September 2008, there is a long list of stocks that haven't recovered to within that 60% of trading range pre September 2008. The struggling companies that have good salvage value might welcome a "low ball" buyout offer. Perhaps, a stock that has had a good pps run after delivering on their business plan can look at a 60% buy out premium as being in the best interest of share holders. Neither situation appears to apply to PPHM.
As a general note to the board and speaking as Moderator, please focus your posts on your opinions about PPHM and PPHM related matters. Posts that are directed towards other posters, even posters who express strong opinions pro or con about PPHM prospects, are off topic. That is the case even if the post laces personal digs within a poster's opined jewels of wisdom. Personal attack inuendo delivered in such posts simply makes CJ's and my Moderator job more of a hassle. Of course, posts directed against Moderator decisions are subject to removal as off topic. Complaints need to be direct to IHUB Administrators.
PPHM has indicated that they are preparing to announce good things between AACR and ASCO. Let's stay focused on how well PPHM does in delivering on such matters and avoid all of the cross channel put downs or whatever one might call them. It will make for a better board when IHUB Terms of Use are respected and CJ and I don't need to be in there removing posts.
Of course, CJ and I will still be removing posts that don't respect the IHUB TOU boundaries. The ping ponging of several posts today should serve as examples of candidates for removal.
Best wishes and IMO.
