Check out ADXS

It's worth taking a look at ADXS. The stock is at a 52 week low as a result, so says the rumor mill, of a well coordinated short attck.  It lost over 40% of its market cap in a matter of days without any  material news or events, either good or bad.  Additionally, the board booted the CEO that wanted to go it alone and replaced him, months ago, with an  "interim" CEO that is on loan form a firm that specialises in health sector mergers and acquisitions...any of this sound familiar, Ariad fans?  Making matters more interesting is solid science, a diversified pipeline with four major franchises, and partnerships with four of the six major biotech firms (including Amgen).  My reading of the tea leaves is that they will sell the company in the next three to six months, a year at most for around $1b, or about $21 pps. This is pocket change for Big Pharmas that are hungry for new products as older lines go off patent or are replaced by innovations, parti...

The art of forgetting

Forget AUPH.  Really.  Just forget it.  Get busy with pottery, or gardening, or take a bike ride. But forget you own this stock, because if you don't you might start trying to trade the waves, or maybe sell and buy something shiny. And you'd regret that, when the rest of us are overjoyed when we wakeup one fine morning when the company has been sold at $40 per share. So just forget about it. TC

Buy Out Soon?

Do we really have a two year wait?  My guess is we do not. I believe that big pharma is watching, they understand the science and the gold mine that this company is sitting on. They are not going to wait two years, as they would miss the boat. This is going up for sale in 6 to 12 months. Hang on to your shares for dear life. TC.

Partnership in AUPH's future?

AUPH: Now that Ph3 for LN is underway (AURORA Trial), where do we go from here...   Aurora Trial update:   -Phase 3 has commenced and off to a strong start having 26 trial sites already enrolling patients, and expected to have upwards of 200 sites total for a full enrollment of around 320 patients.  -This is a fully blinded study, with no interim data. Enrollment is expected to take 12-18 months, and top-line data is expected following the 52wk period of the last patient enrolled.  Any other catalysts in the meantime?   -CEO Dr. Glickman has informed everyone that they plan to announce this fall their plans of seeking additional indications for VoC.  -VoC has been studied in over 2600 patients for various conditions and indications. VoC has performed very well in a few of those trials. For various reasons when AUPH was formed they decided LN was the best opportunity for their first approval.  -Glickman confirmed they will be seeking multiple...
