Just checking in - got some irons in the fire at Zona and Zitl. Zitl's fun, Zona is like a vampire that took the stake in the 'nads. Furious but a sloppy fighter!
Zona thread is useless for real info. What do you make of this tantalizing Wessels report re the clinical trial? (Is that a Phase 3 trial?)

Hello Bill,

Nice to see you have cordoned off an area where you can do what you do best.

Just a word to others here. A few things you should know about Bill.

1. He takes every negative as if it were the Gospel itself regardless of the source.

2. Since every negative heard is the Gospel to Bill any data or hard evidence, or anecdotal evidence to the contrary is because company 'abc' or 'xyz' is running a scam. This word will appear often here in Bill's posts.

3. Any stock that moves contrary to his predetermined ideas is somehow 'manipulated'. Bill is right. His rumors are right. His flawed interpretation of data is right. Everything else is wrong. Every historical event in the markets that go contrary to his designs are the result of sinister Anti-Wexler forces.

Now back to you, Bill.

You still have yet to explain why the Biotime insiders continue to BUY and have not yet sold ONE share. They have the deepest and broadest knowledge of their business.

You also did not respond with any data to support your claim that Hextend is not superior to Hespan despite the data that came out of the Phase III trials (which, BTW, were not even designed to show superiority - just equivalency). Of the 10 serious complications that were determined to be related to the volume expanders (this determination made before un-blinding took place) only 2 were in the Hextend group while 8 were in the Hespan/generic group. Heart rate after surgery was consistantly lower with Hextend. Hextend patients received less whole blood and less platelets. Hextend patients bled less after and during surgery. Hextend patients maintained much better calcium levels. Hextend patients stayed an average of one day less in the hospital. I know that statistical significance was not reached in some of these areas BUT the fact is that across the board there were NO negatives and ALL positives in these gray areas. I would suspect that chance alone could not account for such a wide sweeping positive outcome from the trials.

Now, back to all here-

Sit back and read Bill's response to my questions and the data and see if this is the kind of guy you would trust with your money.

Jim

Bill, Great new thread! As always, you seem to have many admirers.

ZITL is moving up again ... are they really going to give me more free money? And ACLY is also fun <G>.

This thread is definitely bookmarked!
Regards, Bill

Forecross falling, coincident with Vancouver Sun expose today

Forecross comes pretty close to your DOOM criteria, now on the way down...

The front page of the Business Section (page D1) of today's Vancouver Sun, the leading newspaper in Western Canada, contains a lengthy article by David Baines exposing the sorry state of affairs at Forecross (FRX.U on the VSE). A summary is quoted below from canada-stockwatch.com

"Van Sun says auditor has substantial doubt

Forecross Corporation FRX.U
Shares issued 11763612 1998-04-20 close $9.05
Tuesday Apr 21 1998

The Vancouver Sun reports in its Tuesday edition that Forecross Corp, which bills itself as the solution to the year 2000 computer problem, has become one of the highest valued stocks on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Reporter David Baines says, however, that the San Francisco company has failed to meet its own financial projections and has become insolvent, raising questions as to whether it will survive to the year 2000. Forecross shares, which are quoted in US dollars on the VSE, closed on Monday at US$9.05. With 11.8 million shares outstanding, its market capitalization is now US$107 million, or about $155 million, the fourth highest on the Vancouver exchange. Forecross president Kim Jones and chief financial officer Bonnie Castello continue to take hefty salaries. Auditor BDO Seidman notes, however, that Forecross has sustained recurring losses from operations, is has net capital deficiencies and negative working capital, and there is substantial doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
