I believe that this thread is the most appropriate today in that it hopefully encourages a little reflection and perspective.
Having said that, perhaps the pithiness and "on point" summaries of @reginaldp are the perfect antidote to the plethora of Mesoblast dilettantes plaguing our forum with nothing more interesting or informative than a reminder that it is not only the UK educational system turning out inarticulate buffoons.
I certainly don't wish to "blow smoke up where the sun don't shine" when it comes to @reginaldp, but it takes great skill to be able to communicate succinctly (a skill beyond me as you can tell). These 2-4 line postings from the keyboard amoebae are short because that is all they are capable of. Putting aside the odd typo (guilty as charged), they are barely literate. Anybody reading this rubbish would immediately recognise them for what they are. Putting them on ignore is the best way of dealing with them. Any "newbie" reading through the thread will pick that up if you announce it before doing it. But really if you are going to consider their opinion then you should not be investing a company like Mesoblast.
"focus on the science" as regp says, is the best advice that anyone can expect at this time. Now that would be a good thread while we wait.

We have an earning call shortly, it is a "diarised" event. All the behind the scenes negotiations and examination of data happen when it happens. Yes of course great if it was announce now, but I suggest that if it were not for the earning call date in the diary, this week would not be high in the betting for the release date of "good news".
"Focus on the Science" , if you believe in the Data to date, then everything else will fall into place.

PS
The share price has been incredibly stable since the release of the CLBP trial results. Evidence perhaps that we are not the only ones that are focusing on the science.
I do believe that the market is rigged, Gamestop and Robinhood's business model, has shone a bright light on the corruption that is endemic.

from the London Evening Standard (2 days ago)
IG Index blocks investors from more than 1000 smallcap stocks as RobinHood GameStop saga ripples. Margin trading barred on certain stocks as
IG Index, the giant share trading platform, restricted customers from investing in more than a thousand smallcap shares today in a reaction to surging volumes of retail trading in recent weeks and the RobinHood stock surge phenomenon. Marketmakers reported selling by retail investors of affected stocks as they braced for IG’s trading ban.

IG was contacting clients late on Friday and over the weekend to tell them they could no longer offer margin trading to clients on more than 1000 stocks. Margin trading is where clients borrow to buy shares, meaning they can take bigger bets with more capital, a practice known as “leverage”.From now, clients will have to either put up 100% of the margin on the position or close it out.

While not suggesting that this is part of the corrupt practices, it certainly is a consequence of said actions. So we have investors being forced to sell their position in Mesoblast that they would otherwise be keeping. I wonder if those shorters acting in cohoots with some brokers, will be forced to put up 100% margin on their positions?
