Doc, If that's the scenario, don't you think they would have positioned themselves by now? This week was indeed an excellent time to buy if the stock was going to take off like a rocket. Nor would I expect them to sell soon, because if the stock started a significant move, there'd be a bit of a squeeze. Nope, your scenario doesn't scare me at all. By the time they sell, I'll likely be out of here. Certainly we'll want to keep our eyes on the SEC filings between now and decision time. While none of the info is terribly meaningful when compared to actual FDA approval/disapproval, they are obligated to say something about it. Doesn't indicate anything. I don't expect much from the CC, but you never know. So are you putting your money where you mouth is now, or are you going to wait till tomorrow? Since CLPA is back to my cost basis now, I'm debating hedging half my position today. This morning's little bounce could be an anticipatory run in hope positive news, and the overly optimistic might sell tomorrow if they don't see an obvious home run. Check ya Later, Tuck

Oh puh-lease, Auric knew nothing about CLPA when he called for shorting it - he didn't even know about the private placement (Paul Allen vs Goldfinger, that's a no-brainer). And guess what - there's not a word about CLPA on Auric's thread since his "doom date" passed with good news rather than bad. Too much to expect him admit a mistake, it seems. Plus when doom date passed, he then tried a story about CLPA's previous NDAs being dodgy - not knowing this was their first! Great DD. Dr. Seuss, you've been used. itss

Doc, Now have half my position hedged. CLPA has used paid news services pretty much all the time. It's just their method. It doesn't mean they're being dodgy. It means nothing. Neither you nor Auric has taken the five seconds it would take to support his claim that management has a "promotional nature" WRT to NDAs in this or any other company. I was beginning to respect you guys. But now I see y'all are technicians who move often too fast for good DD. Sometimes that works. But when things don't pan out, y'all try hot air. That WON'T work. If you have profits here, Doc, you'd best take them. We may get a little downward bounce tomorrow if the CC disappoints a few optimists, but if it doesn't, well, it's going to be the longs savoring the aroma of charred pork. Cheers, Tuck
