Hi jm,
I don't often have this strong of an opinion on a company's "story" and products. But for NNVC, it is crystal clear to me. They have no viable product. They have no chance of developing anything that will be useful for any disease at all. Zero.
If I could get shares to short, I would short the holy shinola out of NNVC. That company will not exist in a year or two IMHO. It just depends how long they can effectively con people into believing in their hopeless snake-oil story. And along those lines, you can count on earthshaking "results" from their animal studies, since they are performing those studies themselves, or at least "overseeing" them.
Partly, they are capitalizing on people's interest in nano-anything at all. Nano has become a hot buzzword, and they know it. People think nano is superior, and cutting edge. It can be, but not necessarily.
Now, this is not to say that fortunes might not be made---and LOST----with NNVC. In my view, the whole reason for NNVC's existence is to enrich certain people at the expense of retail shareholders who are taken in by their BS. In other words, somebody's after your money and mine. And they will be successful in that, as so many have in the past. Personally, I don't plan to be among the victims. Others might share collateral gains by jumping in and out periodically, but anybody who buys NNVC expecting a huge, long-term payoff when some imagined "breakthrough" products gets FDA approval and is widely used in medical treatments might as well burn their money right now, or simply mail it to NNVC principals.
Maybe what they are doing is technically legal in every respect, I don't know. Frankly, I doubt that. But regardless, they are scum and cons, IMHO, the lowest of the low because they know full well they don't have a product or even the hope of a product. They are intentionally and actively misleading people with the object of enriching themselves at the expense of others who are gullible.
So they will never save grief and lives and they don't even want to, instead they will cause a lot of grief.
Bird flu will not be an easy target at all. Viruses seldom are just because of their nature. Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is, and putting "nano" in the word doesn't change that fact.
