The drug has been around since the 70's (posted it in my originals AK ;) ), but only in like the last 10 years has it moved towards actively pursuing approval so to speak. The management was in alot of trouble back then, and was the problem.


Anyways; regardless of what we feel of StocksHaven, I thought I would add this...If it is Authentic, this would be GREAT for us....

Business Conferences - ACUS, HEB |

Theres a guy on the google board who's been talking to IR there, and asked StocksHaven to see if he can get a CC with IR there. SUPPOSEDLY, the IR person said that Dr. Carter will be attending the CC with the IR represenative, and IF...thats a BIG if, this pans out and is authentic, we will have a good idea of just what is going on at HEB. CC is "taking place" on Friday afternoon...

This appeared on the google boards today which I thought was a nice piece of info.
But this is my point.

This is a link to insider trading if you look over the past 3 months there has been 25 new holdings placed by insiders, I didnt tally up the totals, but eye balling it there is at least 3 million in stock purchases by insiders. Thats about 3 and 1/2 percent of total shares. I like to see that happen,
Even if this is not approved, the insiders are obviously seeing potential in this company.

Guess I should have said, that the appt of the cfo seems to be someone who would stick around with a company going somewhere. This guy is not some slacker of a company about to dissolve into thin air!

[Superfly]

Great post chump, that CFO is a good sign for the company.


I was talking with chuck a few days ago about mffias, and we came to conclusion that we *think* that all of the shares the management have been accumulating are options, not buys (awarded shares). Its positive to see they are taking them and not selling, but at this point, they dont appear to be buys.

Note the number *4* for all of the transactions, thats for option. Look at the symbol when the institutions buy... 13F-HR

We could be wrong, but it seems like the most likely scenario

[chumptochamp]

Thanks superfly, your right if you click on the number 4 and scroll down it lists this as "incentive shares".

[Superfly]

Still doesnt hurt to think positive


I didnt know it either, chuck showed me...lol, u shoulda seen ME when i saw those "buys"XD

I'm actually very surprised that there hasn't been much of a run up as we get closer to the approval date. I know the shares got diluted but at the offering of $1.10, you'd figure the price would hover around there. I'm looking forward to the interview being held tomorrow with their PR spokesperson.

I'm averaged in at $1.08. I hope this baby get approved! XD

[chuckd]

Super, the number "4" refers to SEC form 4 which is what is filed

to disclose any changes in insider ownership of a stock. You can

read the actual filing and determine all the information about

who, what and how the shares were acquired or disposed of.

Hi folks,

I was invited to join yesterday by Superfly and I'm just getting me feet wet here reading through this particular thread so here's my two pennies with of ignorance:

I really happened across this Co. and NDA application re: Ampligen on Sunday while doing what I like to call my "learning journey". A term from my past profession where one was promoted to a new level of incompetence and had to learn the nuances of an upgrade in pay...lol.

Anyway, being the not so quick study that I used to be I've done as much reading as I can on this dark horse over the past few days...and although I'm not holding tens of thousands of shrs (took a big hit on the DNDN debacle because my stop/loss was punched 10pts lower than what it really was) I have some skin in this game for a bit now.

This is what I'm seeing: This Co. has more lives than Morris the cat...

Hemispherx has been around since I was a kid, for some of you that wouldn't have made you a bed stain yet (no insult intended, but I'm old enough to be the father of many of you-and I don't like it either, but the Lord put me here first; what was He thinking anyway?), but longevity aside this IS a Co. that has a history of survival; a very important factor despite it only has one other drug to support itself and even though that's not a producer at the moment.

Ampligen has been has been around since I was 13 and in the forty years since (now half you guys already did the math on that right?) it's had NO luck getting FDA approval. Why is that, ya think?

Let's look at the obvious first. (Superfly has already heard this from me so I apologize for the reiteration my friend)

1) The drug is now being touted as the cure all for CFS a formally unrecognized malady that afflicts mostly women. Now given the fact that most phys'n are trained in the SAME manner with the SAME information doesn't it stand to reason that, for decades, NONE of them would take the symptoms of these woman as being part of a greater causality and treated most of them for Depression; or advised them to exercise more or to take longer naps. Now there's a novel approach to treating FATIGUE...slleeepppp (poppies)

So most of them weren't taken seriously or were referred to a shrink which only served to make most of them feel worst and only more inadequate. For how many years are we talking about now?

OK! Let's move us forward about 30yrs...

Only recently, w/in the past FIVE years, maybe more, has the medical community recognized that CFS actually is a "malady" of unknown origin, but yet a malady in of it's own with a particular set of symptoms that are UNIVERSAL amongst those who suffer with it...

Remember now, that unless one was a trained phys'n from the Orient, Western and European Dr.s are pretty much all trained in the same way with VERY similar information...case in point, up until 30-50yrs ago surgery was conducted with the SAME barbarous tools that they used during the civil war...remember kid's that I'm 53 (did you guys do that math problem before I gave you the answer? lol) and what years were the WAR BETWEEN THE STATES?

A long damn time ago I assure you...

Are you folks following were I'm going with all of this?

Now, given that every medical disclaimer you'll ever sign should you have to ever have surgery clearly states "...medicine is NOT an absolute science..." then why the hell do they cut us up? I digress for a moment...

Since medicine is NOT an absolute science we can assume that many phys'n absolutely don't have the answers that we as patients are seeking most of the time when we enter a Dr.'s office...they are simply adding together the symptoms that we describe to them and they run it through that super computer of a brain that they use to check it against the previous input available already stored inside. If there is no immediate reference then they have to look it up and see what the symptoms fit and then that's what you MAY have; and then they treat you.

If you get better they were right. If you don't your insurance Co. gets another bill...does that sound like an episode of "HOUSE"?

Stay with me cuz I'm having fun now...

Let's get back to HEB in a minute and let's explore DNDN for a minute cuz I think it relates.

Provenge, a drug that has JUST been approved two weeks ago was READY two years ago when I first started to trade and was a $3 stock that I didn't jump on because I didn't have an account to trade; which in retrospect was cool because it shot up to $24 in three days and then fell back to $2 within hours once the FDA didn't give it an OK!.

Why did that happen? Funny your might ask...because there is a Dr. on the board of the FDA who had a LARGE holding and sits on the board of another competing Pharma Co. that, at the time, already had a drug in the pipeline for prostrate cancer and Provenge then and now is a better drug that extends the life of men with advance stage prostrate cancer and slows down the advance of prostrate cancer in men with early signs of that nasty bugger. Something this other drug didn't remotely due...can you say Dr.'s gonna lose his summer home in the Hamptons? I know you can...

Two years later well after the competing Co. lost "it's" lock on the market as the best prostrate cancer drug on the market Provenge FINALLY gets approval and goes from $2-$28 with in that time span...most of which was really $5-$28 within the last six months of that huge ass run...I'm sorry this is so long, but hang with me guys...

OK! How does that apply to what's going on with HEB? You guys ask great questions, btw. lol,

Ampligen is the ONLY drug that has any long term, lasting effects on a malady that has been previously unrecognized for almost ever...think of it like the DSM IIIII saying that sneezing is a new psychopathy that has now been recognized by the psychiatric community and everyone who sneezes needs to be treated with psychotropic drugs and psychotherapy. A new boom in Psychiatrist coming out of med school to say the least.

Now given Hemispherx's history to live another day; and the fact that this drug has already been acknowledged by the FDA to serve a NEED for CFS patients, a now recognized illness with NO medicinal drugs currently on the market; and has already been given ORPHAN drug status by the FDA prior to widespread approval; and that the drug has already been approved for delivery to patients with extreme cases of CFS, as well as for advanced study under controlled conditions; and that there have been independent studies across the GLOBE that all show across the board positive results with NO to negligible side effects in EVERY study; and last but not least, we are seeing huge interest in this Co.'s stock pps from the big guns...

There is little reason at this point for the FDA to NOT give a positive letter of consideration if not an outright approval between now and the 25th/6th.

Yes, Virginia, there IS an outside shot that they could knock it down again, and no, Virginia there is NO absolute here that they will go either way, but this time, just like in the DNDN case I referred to, the Co. has all of it's paper work straight this time, which is why the three month delay, and there is a "substantial NEED" (those are the words of the FDA, not mine) for this drug to be widely provided to those 4mil people in the USA as well as the countless other millions worldwide.

The last tidbit that I'm aware of is that Provenge was given a 65%-75% chance of approval by the FDA based upon empirical data that showed a 4+ month of additional life span of terminal prostrate cancer sufferer's...

Ampligen, on the other hand, has been given an 80% chance of approval by the FDA based upon empirical data that shows a substantial increase in life and quality of life of sufferer's of CFS who have NO effective commercial treatment on the market at this time nor will they have for many more years should the FDA drop this ball again...

And I'm thinking that this new Administration (Obama) unlike that previous pinhead (Bush) administration isn't going to stand in the way of scientific progress for the sake of a few votes from the red states while carrying a Bible around and keep telling these people that they'll get better if they pray harder...

I hope that I haven't offended anyone and I've provided some food (another FDA arena) for thought...
