New poster

Greetings:

I have been invested in Bioniche for almost a year now and have been seeking to gather information from this bullboard without posting anything.   My observations are simply that most posts are from only a few very regular contributors and the vast majority of them have little information of value to anyone who may be researching the company.   May I just say that I picture a number of you being plain old angry old men with huge grudges.    Just saying.   And I cannot nor have the desire to figure out each of your experiences.   My sympathies to anyone who has been long invested and has been disappointed in the past - however, you should have done something else over those years (just sayin)

 

Having said that:

My personal investing strategy permits me to purchase up to 4% of my assets in what I term as lottery ticket investments - companies with a product in development that could return many multiples or that could be worthless depending upon circumstances.   Yep, Bioniche fits the profile.  Each individual company is limited to a max of 1%.   I limit myself to the 1% as the high risk aspect means that any bankrupcy or product failure is limited to throw away money.   The other 96% of my investments are in very secure banks, BCE, energy and very stable funds.  

I use a broker (Dundee which informed me of Bioniche) as well as having my own online self researched account. 

 

My current lottery ticket holdings include:

Bioniche, Bombardier, Avivagen and CRS.

 

Current decisions I am pondering:  Do I sell my Bioniche NOW for a small profit or wait for a possible multilple?   Obviously, I am waiting on the multiple.   So my next question is, what is my target sell price?   Should the FDA put the stamp of approval on this drug I would expect that the company would indeed be bought out by a large global pharma.    Since I am well below my 1% threshold, should I purchase more or buy more of my other lottery ticket holdings?   

 

I am guessing at a share price of between 75 cents and $1.50 when FDA gives the approval in new year.   It is very difficult to evaluate due to a lack of actual sales as the company currently is structured.

What do you others think?
Would others like to provide their projections for this company?   

 

p. s. Raging Bull person; don't bother responding.  None of your posts are worth any of the time spent reading them.

p.p.s. I only have 10,000 shares of Bioniche so nobody create theories of stock manipulation either please.

Thanks and I hope the discussion begins to produce meaningful information
IWillRetireSoon.

Dear Will Retire, You have $2,600 invested in Bioniche.  Your total portfolio value, managed by a professional advisor,  is approximately worth $260,000.  I don't get your question. You are asking this board for their opinion?   Opinions are offered here everyday, in everyway, both positive and negative and still you need more? My suggestion is that if 1% of your ...more

I had hoped that responses would be productive and informative and not adolescent material.... Your math is off.   The managed part of my portfolio is in very sound investments so I don't worry about them.   My lottery ticket money is the fun money - not worry money... thus a loss is not something to be worried about.   And Bioniche is less than 1%.  ANY ...more

First of all good luck with your investment . You sound very sane and responsible,welcome aboard.  As for your purchase, you probably got in at the right time, we have new management , less debt and a product that will make a difference for people with bladder cancer. In my opinion most of your assumptions are correct in the short term (  6 mths.-1 year ). But a lot higher, unless we get ...more

Thanks for mature response. So you think $1.50 is too low?   Please give your reasoning?   I am NOT being critical but just curious. Thanks,

Phase III study done. ( should be 1.50-2.00 now ) New management !!!! Lower burn rate. Nasdaq. listing ? Orfan status ? FDA approval ??? Name change ? ( will take away the STENCH of previous mgnt. ) There's lots more, maybe Retail Rube or Beech could explain more to you. They are very knowledgeable and TRUTHFULL. JMHO

   Also add clincal data publication in a high impact urology journal to expand KOL network and clinical support for MCNA approval as a near term catalyst.   This along with Orphan drug status approval are near term and I believe will get us to a buck buy the new year. Our previous management were not able to provide and publish legitimate clinical ...more

Hey Retiresoon. Welcome. I'd say there are several near term bullish catalysts and only one downside catalyst. Downside is FDA refusing our BLA submission or new trial needed. Potential upside catalysts are: Orphan drug approval, Journal article, MCNA partnership with up front funds, hostile bid, EU submission (have never heard anything about that -just surmising) FDA Special protocol, name ...more

Hey Retiree, I would listen very closely to what Beech says. If you go to the RVX ( Resverlogix ) board you'll find one San Francisco. Beech is our "San Fran" You're in good hands with Beech...an honest, hardworking, inforamtion gatherer and distributor. Good luck friend and listen to Beech...you'll do just fine. FWIW, Sqr
