Jim,
I notice that you're always around to defend any skeptical posts on BTIM. It seems like you lurk around just to counter any negative statements on Biotime/Hextend. It all seems very strange to me, because you seem way too logical too be: 1) that emotionally tied to this [or any one] stock, 2) long on BTIM, 3) believing your postings could influence anyone, 4) using ad hominum attacks (e.g., against Bill Wexler), etc.
I know you're not some BTIM shill. I don't believe there are such things. People are paranoid. I can't figure out why you're saying things I know you don't really believe in. It's like listening to Elanor Clift on "The MacLaughlin Group" :).
Similarly, I'm confused by the Form 4 purchases by Milton Dresner and Hal Steinberg (of 4.5k and 3k shares BTIM, respectively, on the open market). Why would Hal Steinberg buy 3k shares on the open market when he has 475k options at a strike price way below the then market value?! It doesn't even seem worth his time. It's way too obvious a move for him to believe that anyone would infer bullish insider sentiment. It's all so confusing.
Jim, this is not a flame, I know you're a bright enuf guy. I just wanted to post these obvious thots to get any insightful feedback on this puzzle.

P.S. I'm short on the stock, but my position is tiny now. I've made a few $k, and really don't care what happens with the stock price anymore. I should be thinking where to invest my 50% cash position. I am interested how this whole story will end. This should make an interesting magazine article one day. |
