@Pledge,
Yourmessage rambles a bit, but I sense you're still worried about 3-Dmanufacturing. The company told us everything we need to know atthis point in the February announcement. Manufacturing hurdlecleared with the FDA. It's big news, surprised they didn't give itits own PR, but imagine the lawsuits then. Worrying aboutmanufacturing now is like worrying whether they're going to put anHVAC system in the new high-rise going up down the street. Puttingit in too soon ties up capital if there's a building delay. Butunless they're trying to replicate a 12th centurycathedral, you can be sure there will be heating and air conditioningwhen the building opens... and probably the installation will occurwithout a lot of fanfare. Compared to everything else for investorsto worry about, manufacturing is a BACK BURNER issue at this point,imho
Investingacumen / judgment is a theme under discussion. The things you worryabout, or howl about to sew **, are revealing. I'm posting onthis thread at your invitation. I don't follow the board closely,but I just read that you're into the penny stock Cynata, which would clear things upa lot. I first heard about that company soon after I posted on HCfor the first time almost a year ago. And I'm thinking now maybe itwas you who asked my opinion on it? I can't remember who it was forsure, but I said then that they were years behind Mesoblast and not athreat. One year later the CYN chart looks like a kangaroo mud pie,and my assessment hasn't changed: years behind, no matter what “goodnews” they may post. Years behind means years behind in allscenarios. Reminds me of Abundance of Cav pumping Athersys on theMESO board under the guise of “portfolio diversification”. LOL. All opinions and ulterior motives welcome, no accusations intended,but my interest in your invitation is fading fast now.
Bythe way, when I said, “it's likely I'm wrong” I was talking abouttrying to time price swings with options. Not the underlyinginvestment. I wouldn't be buying calls if I thought they didn't havesome chance of success, even if less than 50%. Option contracts area positive force for any market, imo. They're a form of terminsurance that allow transfers of risk on the underlying asset. Imagine the real estate market or the automobile market ifhomeowners' insurance or car insurance were outlawed or unavailable.Options are a useful component of the investor's tool kit and I wasnot aware they don't trade in Australia. I celebrated by buying moreMay and June calls along with some more MESO shares today, all onsale. No one wanted my puts, which I interpret as a good sign.
Timegrows short and readers' interest thin. The formatting problem annoys me. I'm moving on to otherthings, but if the fates allow I'll be back after the close on May 21to give a report on the May calls, positive or negative. Good luckto all true Mesoblast longs.
