oh, and you might notice I tend to discuss with Bucky rather than argue or attack. But open forum which allows folks to express ALMOST anything.

So for example, one could suggest that: the NO KINGS rallies, coupled with the Trump B'day bash/parade (potentially rained out though - keep an eye on the weather in Washington DC) coupled with events in LA, coupled with Ukraine war ongoing, coupled with the no actual deals on trade wars, coupled with the DOGE cuts then rescinded via the courts, coupled with now Israel kicking the Iran hornet nest ... plus more, is adding very real risk to the ability of the company to attain its strategic objectives. The global markets may be perceived as being jittery (in golf terms - have the yips) and with the escalation of things going haywire - allegedly, the money in international entities like Big Pharma is more likely to become more stringently / conservatively applied (i.e. they bunker down to ride out whatever is before them). NUZ is working extremely hard to get the FDA to lift the hold so having the FDA under transformation, even if it is not directly in the team/s managing our application, it is reasonably assumed to be unhelpful. Having oil prices potentially surge as a result of a middle east war (correction - 2 countries having a disagreement because we are in a no wars era) is probably unhelpful, etc etc etc. This very long list of unhelpful things happening in the USA or globally could go on for a very long list.

All the company can do is keep pressing forward and presenting for the best outcome. I too am very frustrated that we are still hanging out there but I will add, I feel this is closer to a solid positive shareholder event than ever, far more so than the potential doggie deal of years ago, far more than cancer and covid and whatever. So I move on from my disappointment and focus forward noting we have a completely different board driving a completely different agenda.

I can appreciate where bucky comes from and some of his comments knowing there is a little bit of truth in everything.

But I generally (not always) choose optimism and positivity because anything else would be counterintuitive IMO given the amount of money I have put into this venture and knowing the highs and lows of the game.

I have even ruffled the feathers of some folks on here when they speak crap and I accept when I am picked up for anything I put out there that is more BS / wacky than some can stomach.

At the end of the day, let Bucky and others banter as it fills the void between announcements and it fills the thread with information - the good, the bad and the ugly. If you are so offended and feel the need to ahve a post mediated (removed) then maybe go have a cuppa and watch netflix. It has been very rare that i see anything on PAA/NUZ that truly goes too far. Most is just harmless banter. But given you don't hold and feel so obliged to share your wisdom, fine will read but apply the same amount of weight to it as the volume of skin in the game you have.

TO be fair, I have even seen Bucky slide into positivity once in a while... I can't wait for me to be right more than wrong with my positivity but until then, he can continue to have my allocation of negativity as he is more experienced at it and I will let the good times flow.
