John...my question to you is...WHY? I agree with you that Epstein and Taylor are what make this Company but why are they still here with a mangement team that has not even been able to get their treatment into Phase III testing in a timely fashion? Certainly, as Davis says, they have much more science in their collective arsenals but why haven't they taken it to a Company which could make it happen for them? Do they know something that isn't apparent to the rest of us? Two years ago in February this stock was at 7..it is now 1.25...why are we still here hoping an inept management team is going to work miracles with the science which has been under their control for years? We've missed the greatest market this country has ever seen waiting and watching and being disappointed...Isn't that a great feeling for stockholders to have? What more could the Board of Directors have in store for us? Perhaps a drop to 11 cents would convince us that we've been had! Progress? Progress is phase III testing, financing and/or licensing that doesn't destroy the current stockholders and some compassion in the form of communication from a mangement team that appears totally insensitive to the plight of its stock and its stockholders.

Thank you for pointing out the importance of Taylor and Epstein to the company. We are all connected to TCLN in the same way. Like you, I don't believe they would be involved in anything crooked. In fact I used that very same arguement with Celeryroot back, I think in June or July but I'm not going to spend the time to find it. For 15 years I have watched and defended this mgmt and the company. I must say that since the time this summer that the insiders bought stock their actions have been unlike those in any period of the companys' history. Just read any of my post before August. I don't know what changed. Maybe it was because the stock went over $7 and mgmt got too cocky. Its a curious thing to watch grown adults continually take actions that hurt themselves financially. Its an unfortunate consequence that the shareholders have been hurt too. And its tragic when people don't learn from their mistakes but keep making the same ones over and over. Well, its easy to see in hindsight. Did anyone watch the trading action yesterday. Volume was about 260,000. Obviously someone has a large position to sell. Whether it is a group of people trying to keep the stock down, or a large holder who has just given up is a matter of opinion and I'm trying to stay away from that conversation. Our speculation doesn't change things and one day we'll know. But at about 2:30 only 80,000 shares had traded. In the last 1 1/2 hours 160,000 traded, mostly at the offer--that means buyers. Am I the only one who wonders who is willing to buy all this stock? I'm much more interested in knowing who is buying than who is selling. Do you guys realize that if LYM-1 is approved then the market cap of this company is less the the sales of that drug alone? Its like they just put you favorite sports car on sale at a 70% discount. The only question is will it go lower before it goes up?
