Biopharm, I don't intend to be presumptuous, but one useful rationale I have heard is, only invest what you can afford to lose. As you likely know, what you wrote about "pouring my last pennies into this" is a high risk move for a high risk stock like PPHM. Those of us who have been invested in PPHM a long time have seen downside surprises just as we are now anticipating some upside driving news.
I hope it doesn't happen with PPHM but a surprise to the "nothing" side is always a possibility. After all, PPHM was being postured for a "nothing" outcome when PPHM reported how that control arm NSCLC Progression Free Survival result was unusually high, negating most of an indicated benefit from the Bavi control arms. Half the pps value was lost within a few days. It is remarkable to me that this pps movement fell in synch with timing for Russell rebalancing and the drop in short interest of four million shares, just as it is remarkable to me that short interest has increased again by 2 1/2 million shares in July, when the pps started rebounding.
Good luck with your PPHM investment.
Best wishes and IMO.
