RE: Can someone verify something Well Addison, my unauthorized opinion is that we are not in 'normal' times. A small biotech on the verge of something potentiially very big will not react along wit the general markets if there is substantial news.
If one believes it’s business as usual in the markets and the global economies are not intertwined in a hopeless debt spiral, and that the media is honest, and that global currency debasement has ended, and that inflation is no problem, and that global geopolitical tensions aren’t disturbing, and that the US isn’t in deep, deep debt., and that corruption isn’t viral in business, politics, charities and in all religions…and, and, and….then one would assume that it is business as usual in the markets…and one might assume that one could sell in May and go away. Those who do may not wish to stray too far though. If I owned a small pubic company and a very nice offer was made for a buyout…I would take the money and run because the macro may devastate the micro any time between now and the end of the year.
Here are just a few concerns from today’s events that may stimulate concerns.
