    Glad you like the chart, skid, time to move on, eh?
    Hmmm .... So when PEB organized an Investor Day in Hershey and those attending met the staff there and no doubt had some interaction over the day, I wonder if that constitute Insider information?

    I'm sure if any shareholder wanted to attend an investor day or visit the Hershey or Dunedin labs they would be more than welcomed by the companies management. Obviously they would get to talk with employees and lab staff, that doesn't constitute insider information. No different to talking with staff at the annual meeting. At all the meetings I have attended over the years there have always been lab and research staff present. The company has no problems with this.

    I agree 100% with you.

    My comments are really to put things in context :

    1. Don't rely purely on companies to supply you with information.

    2. Information obtained via external sources can be more reliable and more objective.

    It may be a hard game for those who rely purely on information from the company, in which case, you are at a huge strategic disadvantage against others in the market who have access to other sources of information.

    Analysts in the market (be them with broking houses or fund managers) get access to a whole range of information to monitor an industry and a stock proactively.

    This include analysts' visits to a company, meeting with management, competitors, suppliers, customers etc etc.

    That's how fund managers like Milford accumulate big stakes in DIL, BFW etc at rock bottom prices before the rest of the market woke up to what's happening.

    I will stay out of that if you dont mind.

    But look at all the energy us posters spend to try to make sense of all those tid bits of info.
    Its hard to believe that some(of course not you)would not prick up their ears if they had a friend whose cousin was coming for a visit and it happened he worked in the lab in Hershey and had some ''man you would'nt believe''stories to tell.--Actually ,now that I think about it,Im guessing you,and just about everyone else around here would not want to stay out of that conversation.---We should be so lucky.

    we would probably find it quite interesting to hear him say ''the last few months we have been working our butts off'' OR ''i didnt go through Uni to just sitaround most of the time playing cards''

    Of course that would be quite different than attending an open day

    I have taken the time to enquire from my brokers Francois et Ouvert des Cussion. 20 rue des Epancheurs, Neuchatel, Suisse regarding anything from PEB. They said to keep my ears pricked. At least I think thats what they said but something may have got lost in the translation.

    Sometimes that French can be confusing.....Are you sure they werent saying ''quit calling me, you P_ _ _ _"


    On a more serious note--Ive just been looking through the Kaiser Permente web site and trying to find the trial under their research projects---Holy Mac! there are pages of them--tried searching and scrolling under ''cancer''(theres a whole list of topics) but havent had any luck.
    Is it possible a trial is not considered reasearch--couldnt find anything about trials.
    Any one else know where to look?

    I started here

    https://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org...l47vuC0F5nVc!/

    though I might get an idea how close to the finish the study was..

    My estimate is that this would require circa 21,000 US tests to cover costs and to turn a profit, but then as we know, PEB have already also told us that they expect to be “processing several tens of thousands of tests” within 2014 [2].

    And well yes, most informed shareholders would actually see R&D as a positive within a company like PEB full of extraordinary research people and with a history of performing such R&D at one tenth the cost of what it may otherwise cost abroad [3].

    The more well managed R&D, the more products entering the commercialisation pipeline, the more long term cashflows generated, fantastic.

    Come on Hindsight Harry, this is one of your very poor habits, regurgitating old posts months after events have overtaken the content. This is insidious, sneering mockery in my view, entirely uncalled for.

    cease and desist dear boy!

    I have my QC from Rhetoric, Innuendo and Sons on standby
