Jagman,

No one on earth is a more expert practitioner of the art of getting wrong answers with plausible solutions than the Motley Fool.

I got particular enjoyment out of this comment:

Oh, how I hate Motley Fool!!! Here is a guy with a position in DNDN stating that a blood draw, dendritic cell purification, antigen pulse, and then reinfusion of the modified cells back to the patient, all done aseptically, are LESS BURDEN than flash freezing an already-excised tumor, FedEx-ing it to a core lab, and then receiving sterile-filtered vials of HSPPC vaccine for SubQ injections???

There is reason to worry a lot about autologous drugs of all kinds getting marketing approval from the FDA. The FDA likes off-the-shelf standardized drugs, not personalized medicine tailor-made for an individual. Drugs - or vaccines - made from a patient's own tissue or blood have a rough time with the FDA.

Some partisans even deny that their beloved DNDN has an autologous vaccine like the accursed AGEN does. I was a bit surprised myself by that scientist's claim of a more elaborate process for producing DNDN's autologous vaccine. I have found John over the years a very knowledgeable and reliable poster though he does not appear to be overly prescient in his picks.

The Motley Fool is not notably different from any of us in letting his biases color his prognostications but no others I can think of issue bulls announcing the infallibility of such prejudice.

I challenge anyone to produce a weaker reed for support of bad investing ideas than the Motley Fool.

All JMO.

Best, Terry
