JimB. I enjoyed reading your post. A couple of questions please. >>>He has a BA,MBNA,PHD Business Administration<<<< Does the Dr. hold a medical degree or just business degree's?? >>>Under this he was able to get the first generation product of their blood substitute approved by the Japanese FDA. The ONLY person to ever do this with this type of product. Many many people were tested on this 1st gen. product with no complications. However, do to a problem with paperwork through the Japanese FDA being handled improperly, SGNC was forced to refocus its efforts in the American market.<<< I can't tell buy this if the product was/is actually approved by the Japanese FDA. It seems unlikely that a paperwork error could result in the banning of a product that could save so many lives. >>>>These investors have of course been getting shares in return. But by far, we've seen no evidence of any stock dilution<<<< Just a clarification. Issuing stock to raise capital IS dillution. This statement is grossly misleading, but I am sure it was not intentional. >>>>Also, he mentioned that SGNC in 1994 had merged with a VERY small company that had been around for decades. We didn't really get to touch on why they merged, but he did say that that company was pretty much dead along with its stock price. The shares were transferred into SGNC stock and many of these people have waited 4 years for prices like we've seen recently on SGNC; thus, some of them are most likely selling.<<<< This VERY small company must have gotten quite a few shares to depress the price of this stock so significantly. I guess they must not understand (similar to Green Cross, the Japanese FDA, and most major research institutions) the true value of this product. >>>At first, I thought that BATTELLE had given SGNC the money to do this, but actually there are private investors that have funded SGNC now for some time and it is they who gave SGNC the money to pay BATTELLE to do continued research on PHER-02 (SGNC's 2nd generation product).<<< Here is where I sense a credibility issue. Your two most prominent rumors when pushing this stock were the credibility of Bastelle and their desire to fund the effort resulting from their faith in the product, and secondly the institutional investors (of which none of influence were on hand in Utah) who are lining up to invest. Finally: >>>Buyout for SGNC in 6months to 1 year continues to be VERY strong and LIKELY.<<<< Don't know how you can say this with any confidence given the product has not finished any meaningful evaluation. jmt
