GTCB: I believe that someone in Europe with an EMEA connection got a leaked "opinion" from 1 individual, pre-CHMP meeting.
There isn't any other "rational" basis for the trading 2 weeks ago. However, though I sometimes view Dew's locale (NE USA) as a foreign address, it isn't Europe.
I don't blame Dew for anything other than influencing others to invest in GTCB using his informed, intelligent opinion status. It is still every individual's duty to manage their own investment research, rather than just lazily relying on others. I am also guilty of this in regards to GTCB.
GTCB management is CLEARLY culpable, however.
EMEA is CLEARLY guilty of irrational fear over transgenics.
I do not plan on holding GTCB at this share price... "hoping" for a buy-out. If the stock drifts down to, say, $.75 (not likely) I may nibble again, looking towards 18-24 months out.
Never again will I assume a political/regulatory risk, as opposed to the "normal" regulatory risk.
