shero,
I was referring to the ASCO abstract that was posted by GregSL via Yahoo.

Message 9559483

I don't really care much about the press releases. Yes it would be nice to have the stock a little further away from the $1 delisting/financing boundary, but so long as the products are working as well as they seem to be and continue progressing through the trials, I am happy. Eventually the success will be reflected in the stock price.

Once Techniclone is earning the money we expect, everyone will be able to look at their EPS and determine a 'fair' price for the stock - no predicting the market size or understanding of the science necessary. At $4 EPS (profit of about $300 mil.) do you think the stock would still be a dollar? Sometime between now and $4 EPS the stock must go up. To me it doesn't matter when as I am not planning on selling before. As long as they continue to obtain financing for the trials without too much further dilution and the products are successful I will be happy.

However, I do agree that the press release was weak. The key point of the results to me was in the abstract [if what I am quoting IS actually from the abstract], but not in the press release. The press release could simply have read "Cotara - Median survival and time to progression have not yet been reached. 11 of 12 patients are alive. Longest survivor is at 8 months with a pontine glioblastoma." That is the information I wanted to see.
