Welcome to the troll-free, moderated message board, made up of primarily ex-IMMU shareholders.
- IMMU's status:
--It is now a fully owned subsidiary of Gilead.
This board of ex IMMU shareholders who have gained the respect and trust of each other over many frustrating years of disappointment and heartache, yet having a thrilling ending, who still like to check in on what each other is thinking about other biotech investments. On the downside, the IMMU buyout was one of the last positive events in biotech before falling out of favor as a sector, and the efforts to turn some of the cash from the buyout into more growth has been a rough patch. However, most of us have gone through very rough and long periods of frustration and so most are experienced and seem to be mentally weathering this rough patch rather well.
Hopefully the combined knowledge and wisdom on this board will be financially beneficial over time in the biotech sector. I continue to monitor the board to keep it at the highest level that it has attained.
Etiquette:
This board is moderated, meaning the moderator (me) can stop people from posting here if they violate our norms. What are "our norms"? Well, be adult, play nice about sums it up. There are three responses I encourage for keeping the discussion civil and useful when you encounter a post that annoys you. In order of preference:
1> report a ToU violation to the SI admins via the link at the bottom of each post, they're good at dealing with problems.
2> send the person who posted a private message and work it out. Privately.
3> send me a private message. Wait a couple of days before doing so please, I'll usually see the message in that time frame and act (or not).
4> stay focused and leave politics out of it, even by inference. There are numerous forums you can spend as much time expounding on your favorite "why (insert favorite hot-button) is evil", we don't need to reiterate all that here.
5> do not engage in discussions about poster's motivations, etc. First of all, it's unprovable. Second I'd rather not wade through the inevitable pointless back-and-forth over something that'll never be settled anyway.
This board provides a forum for honest, civilized and friendly conversation. It is not a vehicle for spam or hidden agendas. New posters are not only welcome but are an important way to bring additional information and insights to the board. Over the years new posters have been welcomed into the group and have helped make the board successful. However, if you’re a new poster it is especially important to be sure that material assertions, be they pro or con, are thoughtful and supportable. While all posters must abide by the TOU, leeway can and will be granted to long-time posters who have made substantive contributions to the board and whose credibility has been established. |
