"Passing on", or calling a "pope"? Passing on, sure! Of course! Last week, anything was moving stocks..... roving bands of daytraders are egging on momentum wannabes. But remember how it went super stale last time? Ugh.

Any fresh, quality news that relates to a small cap is welcome here.

CIPH..... your guess is as good as mine re. what news will move a stock and which won't.

Anti-CTLA-4...... I believe that it will be a great adjuvant, but one still needs to have an antigen. Dr. Allison is very high on the project. I went to a seminar recently, controversial subject, by Polly Matzinger. She proposes that tumor vaccines will work if one continues to give antigen, never letting up and with an adjuvant (like anti-CTLA-4). REGARDLESS!!... you're correct, that's exactly the sort of news that a company like MEDX could package to run their shares during popcorn week.

It's tough to make the "pope" call. However, with downside so drastically limited -- for so many good companies -- it should be easier now than before.

Many thanks to Nigel for playing along with the game today! I figured that everyone was going to say "get lost, Harmon!".
