Off Topic - Sonny - just an fyi about something ..... Remember Sepracor? Well that was / is a real company. What follows is an entirely different kinda thingie within the biotech umbrella. Some rules: Cancer Kills Cancer Drugs do NOT stop death from cancer. There are minor exceptions here and there but at the end of the day 1.5 million or whatever the number is now - will die from cancer. All that current cancer drugs do now is keep you alive awhile longer - maybe upto 4 or 5 years - but more than likely in less than 2 years you are dead. It depends on the cancer. Finally, there is nothing on the horizon that will change this. Nothing. The purpose of this post is to state that one of the worst kinda cancers is brain cancer. Its got several flavors and there all bad. About 9 months ago I caught a news release from a NOT FOR REAL company that had developed a cancer vaccine for brain cancer. Lets be clear about the word vaccine. We think of vaccine i.e. polio as something we take to PREVENT something. However, in the context I am talking I am talking about creating a vaccine from the blood and guts of someone who ALREADY has something. Anyway this company had screwed around with their thingie and it showed some positive signs. I am NOT talking about a CURE .... just some amorphous positive signs. The net of the story is that about 6 months ago UCLA said to the company - hey let me try some of that stuff out. In about another 3 months or 6 months UCLA will -- probably -- come out with a statement as to how the vaccine did. Again, we are NOT looking for saving a life, but we are looking for things like how much longer did the patient live or length of time to disease progression and other techie concepts I don't recall. The stock symbol of this company is NWBT.OB. I don't know their name. The stock price usually swung between 30 cents and 60 cents and about 6 weeks ago I put a STINK BID in for 10,000 shares at 21 cents. I connected today. Tomorrow I will put in another bid (STINK BID) in for 10,000 shares at 17 cents. And if I get it I will stop at 20,000 shares. Now here is what it all means: There is a 99.99999% chance that UCLA will come back and say that there was NO EFFECT or a WORSENING EFFECT. By some miracle though - should their vaccine have helped someone then this thing could explode to as high as say 1.50. And please note if UCLA came back and said something positive it would STILL take another 8 years to run thru all the Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials (at huge expense) that would be required to get an FDA approval. Just wanted you to know all this ..... and to emphasize this is NOT A REAL COMPANY .... but you never know. Tell pumpkin head I said hello. regards, John
