From reading CORX's past notes... it looks like the National Institute of Health studies for CORX's drug on humans began in early 1997.

And there were three European human studies before that.

So, possibly 2-3 years of human testing.

Oh, I also found the NIH link to one of Cortex's studies. CX516 is Cortex's compound. (its parameters):

To answer your question...a lot of the stock price has to do with it getting to the public.

Of course it does.

But a lot of it has to do with what the drug is suppose to help and how many patients worldwide suffer from it.

Alzheimers is a huge disabiltating killer, and costly disease and a lot of money is used to care for these patients.

And loss of short term memory affects everyone past the age of 20.

So if you not only have a drug that benefits parkinsons and alzheimers but also increases short term memory in people like you and me...

That's huge potential.

Hate to rain on the parade but some points before you lose your money.1)small price hyped stocks go up briefly then down-enmd a prime example.2)i was in this stock at much higher prices-ther's a reason its trading where it is.3)In the old bull market days,lots of stocks popped on hype,now people take the money and run.What goes up comes down quick and hard.4)CFO is gone.why? 5)Do lots of due diligence before you take the chance of being whipsawed.
