    Until Iliu demonstrates some commercial viability or discloses it's business plans, the jokers who manipulate this on the Pinks can continue to play games. .45 cents is a complete joke after the publicity and publication.

    It's time for our PR person to get going. A reverse split isn't going to cover up a poor execution

    I appreciate your optimism given today's announcement, but I've never seen anything positive come of a reverse split. Usually the kiss of death.

    A lot of people got banged up with yesterday's bloodbath. Anyone facing a margin call was forced to sell out today and IMHO that's why so little upward movement with huge volume. I'm confident that Bruce and Keith bought more and we'll see that when the SEC filing comes out. Long way to climb back and nothing new on the horizon for months. The manipulators should feel damn good.

    Without the ridiculous comments, what does anyone think it's going to take to turn this around? It's a shame that the presentation comes after the market closes. Is it just the presentation and interpretation of data?Before the market opened, everyone seemed euphoric. After Adam's hatchet job, everyone thinks the company is going down the drain... how could that be?

    Fudstein’s negative spin aka..LIE

    Hard to believe that a less than significant writer and bio "expert" could have such a negative impact on seemingly very good data. The boys better hit it out of the park during their presentation and conference call or even Bruce might be a tad less than happy.

    How could this nonsense happen all over again, after seemingly positive headlines and supporting data?

  • skibum1985 by skibum1985 May 31, 2013 4:42 PM Flag

    Basically no one knows anything. You can speculate all you want long or short and you can make the case that SNTA will be 20 after ASCO or 5, but except for the volume in calls, it is apparent that no one knows anything concrete except insiders and presenters and nothing has been leaked yet.. sets up an interesting showdown Monday. It's almost funny how either side can be so so certain without any facts

    Market action in SNTA

    There's no way he could buy/sell or short as a director so close to major announcement. He has a window to trade and it could not be open at this time. You are talking about a sophisticated investor, not some low life trading on insider information.

    You have zero basis for your characterization of data as "so so". They have resisted partnerships but not for a lack of outside influence

    Hard to believe it won't be leaked before Monday evening presentation. It shapes up as a real standoff, with someone going home a big winner or loser. Water shed moment for Snta. Bruce certainly has a lot of chips on the table.

  • If the volume was through the roof, I would sleep better leading up to ASCO. With low volume, but a significant upward move in a down day...it is a positive. Can we read anything into this, or should we wait for Tuesday's profit taking?

    Display of Confidence Moving Forward

    Impressive. The company must believe they have a "plan" that will require some serious investment. The last go around, they only took $3 mil from Delta Dental. The only reason that the stock didn't really move today is that virtually no one even knows the company exists. Anyone know what we have to do, to be relisted on anything but the pinks?

  • skibum1985 by skibum1985 May 15, 2013 8:58 PM Flag

    So for those worried that Snta was going to bail on Asco....I guess you got yor answer. They will be quite busy out there fending off partnership offers.

    How do you know he wasn't? They are not going to disclose that

    Our former President of Research is BACK at Hospira as of today...... now maybe the doom and gloom can be eliminated. The damage is done.. now the long climb back to $10 plus.....

  • skibum1985 skibum1985 May 13, 2013 4:15 PM Flag

    Possibility... or because he took significantly less than his last job at Hospira, he may still have been looking for a greener pasture. He was earning a fraction of his peak income and the job was far less important than his past employment. Basically he was "under employed at SNTA". Be interesting to see where he surfaces and at what level. If its a significant upgrade, he bailed. In any event, I agree that it wasn't based on flawed data. The quick turnaround smells of mutual dissatisfaction. From what I have read about him, he was a acquired taste and perhaps not a pleasing one at that.

  • skibum1985 by skibum1985 May 10, 2013 4:30 PM Flag

    Significant day and close. Seems people believe company is not going down the drain and that the data will hold up. Speculators would have dumped it today with the crawl back since Thursday IMHO... two in a row.. bring on Monday

  • skibum1985 skibum1985 May 9, 2013 9:49 AM Flag

    Based on the opening, someone listened. Guess Roth was busy on the horn with their clients or someone knows that all is well and it kind of leaked out?

  • skibum1985 by skibum1985 May 8, 2013 4:20 PM Flag

    Nearly a third of the market value has been wiped out in two days. Even with SEC restrictions, it would seem that the company has an obligation to post some comment. The silence just feeds on rumors that their data is flawed, which I don't believe to be the case. Don't know if they were expecting this response, but they have a history of poor media and public relations going back to last year's posting of interim data when the Street interpreted the data as merely mediocre, when Snta thought it was great. They need to issue a release

    If you believe in the company ..pick a number.. I did, unfortunately from $8.50 down. Maybe support now at $6.70...we can be hopeful. This sets up all the marbles at ASCO. If they don't hit it out of the park...UGH!

    No response from the company is scary. I guess they can keep their shelf offering on the back shelf...way back.
