Indications:  1 Negative Indication, 1 Positive Indication and 1 Pump/Promote

A daily report may say little or a lot and its final judgement may be inconclusive; yet it serves as insurance that all indications are being examined, evaluated and reported.

I don’t seek fame, do podcasts or give speeches; what I do is write this blog/newsletter to inform investors with facts and supporting numbers focused on what they need to hear that others won’t say or write about - truth!

A DRAFT prospectus is filed … SEC Form S-1/A  …https://app.quotemedia.com/data/downloadFiling?webmasterId=101533&ref=117017206&type=HTML&formType=S-1%2FA&dateFiled=2022-10-27&cik=0001563665&CK=1563665&symbol=0001563665&companyName=Biostage . Questions arise as to draft prospectus statement of non-reliance of past financials?  Hey, CFO Joe some of us have copies of lost “payables”?

 

The BOTTOM LINE: I try to keep it simple … and short while repeating what I did write last night!

Reiterating from this morning, “It’s Thanksgiving Week – supposedly a week to say “thanks”.

But, to WHOM?

NO thanks …to CEO Sue Washer and president (currently) of Applied Genetic Technologies (AGTC) for her “mistakes in management and judgement” during her tenure (let’s NOT forget her “bored” of directors) – who let her get away with such “mis-judgements” to have to sell-out the company for pennies as she executes her “exit package” of $1.5+ million having been paid $1.5 million to “wreck” the company this year.

Key word, uncertainty … “which makes It difficult to predict where the cell and gene therapy sector is headed in the short run.”

Amid the ongoing cell and gene therapy sector volatility, “our” universe’s trend remains " in a constant correction." That means that … lately we are investors are safer on the sidelines.

Reiterating, “The real question that should be asked is how many companies are at the end of sentiments …  leash? I stick to my view of anticipating the risks – as my careers focus has been “warning analysis”.

Insight is about understanding perception and also about putting into context what is relevant to expectation fulfillment
