RE: SEC Ready to Crack Down on Naked Shorters?and now you may understand better the risks of entrusting money with onc management.
if Thompson is prepared to resuce the pros (ie. shorters) from losing their shirt and simultaneously stick the small retail investor with added dilution, what is to prevent him from screwing the small onc shareholder again in a partnership deal, where he (& coffey, etc.) get a 14% personal cut from any royalty off the top?
aside from the science, one thing is certain - these guys will make a lot of money off the reovirus if it is proven successful - whether oncolytics and shareholders do so isn't nearly as certain.
maybe thats why fund managers are more prepared to step in at much higher prices after a partner has removed much of the risk of these guys running (or perhaps ruining) the story?
