Great post, Wigster.
Things look very grim when looking at the SP and time that is passing by. But very quickly things can turn around. A long shot and dream perhaps, but imagine if we were announced as a STRIVE candidate for outpatient taking up where ACTIV left, and simultaneously announcing a second P3 trial that will run alongside it for inpatient but sponsored/JV'd with J&J. All of a sudden, don't things look better.
I've always said the odds are against us but I still see POTENTIALLY very big rewards here, albeit perhaps not the numbers hoped for in the depths of Covid.
Back to that SP... perhaps best not to focus on the SP too much. It can play tricks with your mind and make you think irrationally. if you hadn't been able to see the SP for the last few months and didn't come on LSE, I'm sure we wouldn't feel quite so gloomy. Amazing what a SP can do for your mood, even on a long term hold. For me, what factual negatives have there been other time passing by with no confirmation of a trial (hopefully as yet)? We haven't had a cash raise, we haven't confirmed we are not on a trial, we haven't had resignations or cost cutting.
Instead, we have had a new senior job advert, an observational trial presumably progressing nicely with Janssen, the NIH and ACTIV confirming "we merit further investigation", one of the top guys in this area (Rick Bright) singing our praises...
All the while we are valued at cash in the bank and therefore worthless. IMO I don't think we are worthless. Not just yet, at least.
