My take on this--worth exactly two cents:
I would suggest that if folks bought this just for the potential milestone payments, you are in this for chump change, and there are plenty of other things to play for that kind of action.
When I learned of that dividend payout awhile back, I took some trading gains, cut and ran. But guess what folks, this thing has a new lease on life. I buy shares for investing AND more for trading--I bought a third today as soon as the dumping momentum slowed, another third when it was even cheaper a little later, and if it sells off some more in the next week I'll do a little bottom- fishing for a final third-of-a-position with which to trade. If the whole lot ends up off 20% I dump two-thirds, at least that is my rule, sometimes I don't stick to the stop losses.
So far this year only the trading has paid off, but I'm sitting on ten micro and small cap biotech stocks and any of them could pop at any time. Gosh I sure hope so anyway, I'd hate to think the only way to make money is daytrade.
cnsi is one of three neuros which are very interesting to me, but sure...it has a very good chance of just fizzling out and going to zero over the next few years.
But...this deal gives investors a reason again to own shares in this. If you want to double your money overnight, too late--that action was already played by the pump and dumpers--hell, if I'd known of the news on friday I've had played it that way too.
No, you buy a thing like cnsi because you know that a few of these in your collection will pay out more than enough to cover the ones that go to zero. What has changed for cnsi is that the odds are now a little more in your favor. I'll take it!
Oh, if anybody should care, my other two neuros are sibi and ntii. I expect one of these three to pay off handsomely, ten-bagger style as they say, one will just tread water, and one will go out of business. I've no freakin idea which will do what.
