Institutional investor

So, what we know vs what we think we know.
1. Anison did/ was the instutional player that bought $15 million + of Onc shares.
2. They are a mutual fund company.
3. They have a broad range of focus, not limited to short positions.
4. Their prime focus is long & long term strategy.

All clearly stated on their web site.

5. They also have a substantial opportunity to cash in on warrants if/ when the price is above much higher than now. I can't recall the exact numbers. Higher none the less.

Now boys & girls.......many have picked up the " shorting" ball & ran with it.
Really?

Mutual funds are " rewarded" on their ability to make $$$. That being with a very long term focus.
unless you are from an alternative universe, shorting one's holdings ( there- by lowing the value of the fund", makes zero mathematical sense what so ever.
Save your rhetoric & stick to the facts.

Yes the PanCan blackout is a major blow. More delays & more confusion.
The Anison $15 million in shares?
We know they bought them. & still own.
beyond that 100% speculation. The shorting thought? Makes zero sense what so ever.

Comment by inthno on Nov 14, 2023 2:32pm
Hello Canada and reasoned thoughts as always. Question.....do we know for sure that Anson managment still owns the onc shares and how many? The latest I could find was September sometime but 2 months has passed since then so we do not know for sure....As for a mutual fund well I guess we can give them that even though they are touted as a hedge fund which openly says that they could hold short ...more  
Comment by fox7mf on Nov 14, 2023 2:58pm
They're unabashed short specialists Canada. They have a well earned reputation of such, and like intheno stated, there's no proof that they've held onto the shares beyond Sept. Hopefully they have.

I agree, on the dates. the trouble with in line ," data," one must read the dates of the data posting & reporting. which both can be different from the actual date of transaction. regarding do they Anison still own the shares? most likely... how can I draw that conclusion? since the date of purchase, that many shares has not traded ( on the TSX ), cumulatively since the deal. volume ...more

Andrew and Kirk are especially at fault, contrary to those who promote their existence in ONCY.
Comment by inthno on Nov 14, 2023 3:42pm
Just a thought canadafan, I do agree it is possible they still own shares and the offering was only on the Canadian side but once you own the shares you can trade on either market. And your thoughts if no deal by year end.
Comment by fox7mf on Nov 14, 2023 4:41pm
Canada, what's your take on the 65% haircut Wainwright gave to Oncy's price target? Will the great news ever stop?
Comment by canadafan on Nov 14, 2023 5:38pm
I have not seen the report & basis for their adjustment. Or confirmation of that either. lid be interested in seeing the updated report. I have seen previous, with pages of estimates etc. I can only comment on readable information.
Comment by Noteable on Nov 14, 2023 6:05pm
If you can only comment on readable information,  then you should have read  then understood that Anson is NOT a mutual fund, as you tried to imply.
Comment by 13X2413 on Nov 14, 2023 6:51pm
Noteable. You haven't been your usual self. You haven't been posting as much.  The bad part is that you seem to have developed a negative tone. Have you lost hope in something good happening with ONC?

Nov. 15/22 SP= $1.56 usd. Nov. 15/23 SP= $1.46 usd. Oh, and 1 year after the first groundbreaking Goblet reveal, Matty hasn't been able to land any BP deal and, in desperation, has jumped in bed with a notorious short fund. Yay.

Defendants launched a public smear campaign against Nano and its management, driving down Nano’s share price so that Defendants could acquire even more shares at artificially reduced prices. Defendants again violated U.S. securities law disclosures designed precisely to alert the market to such activity. 
Comment by Noteable on Nov 17, 2023 9:35am
 In addition to violating federal law, Defendants’ scheme to manipulate the market for Nano ADSs and secretly acquire a controlling interest at discounted prices breached Defendants’ contract with Nano.

Wasn't Leed Jones Gable retained to coordinate the financing deal which ultimately selected Anson as the financiers? ONCY would have the final say, but it would have been LJG that did the research and due diligence on Anson.  Thoughts or comments?
Comment by Azzak34 on Nov 17, 2023 12:27pm
It's very odd and I'm not sure what to think about it.  Being in bed with an unscrupulous bunch, such as these, doesn't make me feel good. However, it'd be a nice change for any manipulation to work in our favor for a change.  I have many thoughts but can't really put them in to a cogent process at the minute. 
Comment by canadafan on Nov 17, 2023 12:31pm
Regarding due diligence on potent share aquiring fund(s)? First, people need to resd both sides of the ledger. Anson, is a multi- avenue mutual fund. yes, they do include shorting. They also have main focus as long term brad based mutual fund investments. They took on a 7%-8% investment of Onc ( Canadian TSX shares only). In the event the get to exercise thier warrants ( part of purchase ...more  
Comment by lonc17 on Nov 17, 2023 1:56pm
Canadafan, It is very unlikely that you will see any record of Anson holding shares in ONC subsequent to their latest reporting. You have to be very naive to believe that Anson has acutally invested about 15 million (CDN) in a lousy little biotech like ONC. In the good old days, a small cap biotech would raise capital in an honest fashion though an offering, inclusive of a prospectus on each ...more

Trying to figure out who has had the better track record over the last 4 years.... the analysts or the forever pumpers?
Comment by Buckhenry on Nov 17, 2023 3:15pm
I have a bigger problem with folks who don't know they don't know than I do with the company itself. I figure things will happen when they happen. All the conjecture here is pure folly. 
Comment by Noteable on Nov 17, 2023 2:17pm
Once again ... Anson Funds Management is NOT a mutual fund, regardless what the Shill keeps trying to suggest. Anson Funds is a privately held alternative asset management company founded in 2003, with offices in Toronto, Canada and Dallas, Texas. https://ansonfunds.com/
Comment by Peladawn on Nov 17, 2023 12:37pm
It’s likely they’re just as corrupt as Anson....probably just smarter.....but unless they’re trying to destroy the company ot take it over, neither of which is scarcely likely, this whole thing doesn’t matter a whole lot if they’re just manipulating to accumulate shares....obviously it hurts the share price for the moment which is infuriating for many, but at some point, the plan will be to turn ...more

Leede Jones Gables assumes a responsibility to act fairly, honestly and in good faith with our clients, which also means Anson Funds Management as a client on the other side of the deal.  That left ONCY to do its own DD. https://leedejonesgable.com/wp-content/uploads/Relationship-Disclosure-July-2021.pdf

Haha Noteable you need to stop. Everyone is a double agent according to you. As I've said, your posts are great, when you stick to the science and theory. When it comes to the Salem with trials you are terrible. Fox ain't on our team, I've said that for a long, long time.

Haha I'll bring your dumb name in whenever I please, tool.  I like how you see a post on here then post the news on Stocktwits like you discovered it. What a little weasel. "Hey guys, I just found out" something that someone already found out. Clown.  Noteable I want it on record that this is a genuine distaste for this idiot and in no way is a cunning ploy.

Exactly. Stick to your strengths & continue your "good cop/bad cop" game with Buck. It's so convincing. Good call Note!!

Oh I don't doubt Bucko is here to FUD for his masters. I'm sure we all appreciate your many, many posts with valuable info and opinion but we're not all plants to wreck the company. Who isn't here to do subterfuge?
