WOW!!!!

Thats awesome news. Thanks for posting that info. I've had a gut feeling for sometime we would see Pona marketed sooner than later, and you just confirmed it.

[BTH]

Is all of this just semantics though? What I mean is, I am sure there are lots of "boiler plate" pieces to an NDA that just require 'cut and pastes' ...or, are things REALLY moving quickly, and Berger isnt just playing to shareholders. Heck though, if he wants to put on his extreme marketing hat and ramp this thing up to 15 quickly, by all means, please do, Harv.

Thanks for the comments from the meeting, btw.

The foreshadowing on pona may just be too irresistible to institutional analysts. If you project to pona approval $11 is a bargain. Maybe even "easy money". By the end of the year, a mutual fund could crow about a 20-40% gain.

Not questioning what you are saying but is there any way to verify this? Why would Dr. Berger blurt this out? What advantage would he gain by doing so?

[Jesspro]

but why would he blurt out that information in an informal gathering unless he has an ulterior motive for doing it...meaning he wants big pharmas to hear it. For whatever reason, I hope he really did say it.

That’s the kind of hype that turns off some investors. Given his checkered history, Berger would be well advised to tone down the rhetoric a notch.

Did Harvey say anything about an imminent partnering of Pona, other???

Wondering what's holding us up here relatively speaking.

Because we're not really seeing any significant institutional selling.
