I must admit to a passing thought of is it BTH too :-). I understand he probably isn't thrilled with management but a lot (almost all) of his questions really didn't find out much of anything. I don't get the big deal about releasing the 10-k and then the CC the next morning. If I were an investor I'd be happy with that gives me time to look at it and ask questions. I don't know what stocks he follows but most Bio's I see actually do the opposite host the call then days later publish the Q/K.
On Geron I started to take a look didn't get too far may still. I wonder if investors would be happier with them going through a 100 million and running their own Phase 2's?

As for SEC, its people are too busy watching Internet porn.
