    Gold Going $1100

    yeah i guess, its just too much for me to follow, i'm not into Forex and such.

    you got the Chinese manipulating their currency, the Japanese messing with theirs recently, i don' know, its a lot for me to try and keep track of. but that;s just one aspect when considering this stock. . the US dollar relationship to gold.

    there is a lot to look at when considering this stock. thanks for your input.

    you will get a better picture of where this stock is going in the middle of June.

    Setting price targets and expectations isnt the way to go. why not 10.25,10.00 9, or below 9 like ggn hit in 08? why 9.9? doesnt make sense to me. wait to June to see what happens with the miners and the price of gold then start building a position.

    you think the chinese are going to allow their gold holdings to fall in value that much? are the miners going to settle some of the disputes in South America? you think the value of the dollar is going to keep increasing? i dont know.

    but overall there is too much noise concerning these issues, better to wait.

    lololololololololol, you need a spot on the comedy channel, you're too much!!!!.

    one year fancy, i'm going to be here to at least the 2014 q2 results to see those sales #s.

    i've only been here a few months on this board but we'll see how things go. i bought a few shares at 1.65/1.70 and a few more at 1.16 so whats that, 1.45 pps? but that's barely a position and i don't have the urge to jump out of a window or any of these silly things you people suggest to those who have lost money on this stock.

    if ppl are much deeper then . . .they knew the risk or should have known the risk. if they wanted a nice safe 10% gain they could have gone into DIS KRFT K or something. but we're here to make big money. that's it, end of story. And the MELA story is just beginning not ending like you keep touting.

    i'm actually waiting to see it break below this 1.10 line but ooh well, just have to wait.

    Keep up the good work though, very entertaining.

    i dont know, its more likely to go down some more with everyone talking about 1300 an ounce. the miners rebounded off there lows here but a few are starting to test their 52 week lows.

    this stock is a little tricky to follow, you have to know the stocks in its portfolio and of course its top holdings and problems they face like mine contracts with foreign governments this is one time i can recommend Seeking Alpha and look at demand from china and india but there is a lot to think about when considering this stock. i like the consistency of the payout being .14 or .12 for a number of years and gamco is pretty good.

    but it all depends on your risk tolerance, how you acquire shares/develop a position and how long you are going to hold the shares. if you are going to hold for more than a year than yeah buy here but there might be a lower entry point here soon. good luck.

    Blackout period

    Parsons made the right point on an earlier thread about management getting nice sized options although he was wrong about Yu’s stock count. This is just another reason not to discount people even if you think they’re wrong, because they can lead you to something meaningful.

    I heard that analyst on the call and I really think the key here isn’t about management’s dismal insider buying but really about the compensation board awarding management numerous share options and their low cash salaries.

    Look at IMUC’s 3/11/2013 10-K and see how many options these people get? Bender and Fractor’s numbers really stand out to me. The ceo. . ehhh its expected.

    And not only that, is it me or does anyone else think these salaries are really low? 200k for the ceo, Under 200k for Yu who is the chairman of the board and chief medical officer? The ceo of NWBO made about the same as Yu and Gengos combined!! And why doesn’t Smith point that out? Ooh well that’s for another day. You can argue IMUC management lacks experience than higher paid executives but even then these salaries look low. Was going to compare management’s compensation to other comparable stock companies but doing research on other stocks now and IMUC is fine.

    But overall, I wish that analyst had asked Yu about the low compensation because to me this all this tells me that 1)Yu cares about shareholders by not spending so much cash reserves on salaries and 2) management believes in this drug because they’re taking nice sized compensation in stock options and many of those options can only be exercised at much higher stock prices from this 2.50-2.60 IMUC level.

    you're not funny, you haven't brought anything constructive to this board and i really don't appreciate you going after the people that have been on this board for months (probably longer) and who try to put together reasonable financial ideas.

    if you're going to bring up a negative aspect of this stock, be my guest, and we'll look at it. but this post is
    kiddy nonsense. if you disagree with them, take the time to show they're wrong, not this nonsense. try again.

    i like it better when you just post comedy and nonsense. when you try to get serious it just doesn't work for you.

    what do you think of this 1.10 level? Looks like a line has been drawn in the sand!! Ok this is where you post something funny.

    yep, this goes below $6 its a buy, i regretted not getting some in NOV but i liked a few biotechs that have made some really nice money since then. i started a position at 5.75 today and not regretting this one.

    the stock is fluxing bigtime but im not going to worry about getting a good deal because again anything under 6 is good. i also hold my stocks for at least a year and i know this will be at least 5.75 in 1 year. i will add to the position in a few months.

    laughing at the Charlie Browns, when this stock goes back to 2.75, i wont have to see them whine and get all emotional for awhile. hope it happens soon so i dont have to look at the nonsensical emotional banter posts.

    Its great people are finally talking about other aspects of IMUC but im not happy why this manufacturing issue even came up and I wasn't surprised that the IMUC soft basher Smith is making a big deal out of it.

    If you and Smith want to add this argument to why IMUC will/will not skip the FDA ph3 be my guest but the FDA has made fools out of ANYONE that has tried to predict their actions.

    As usual, I may disagree with your points but I appreciate your contribution to the board and thanks for moving the conversation on IMUC ahead.

    traders come and go,

    how are you expecting to make money off somehting everyone is waiting for and knows about?

    thumbs up for disco yesterday, but that call illustrated that too many people are waiting for news concerning that trial as it had too many bloggers on the line and not enough instituional asking serious questions.

    go long and relax.

    wah wah wah wah wah waaaahhhhhhhh!!! Charlie Brown

    you see what that emotional banter nonsense got people today? Selling at low 2.20's when it closed near 2.40!!!!!!!! 100% muppets!!

    that was easy money. not my buy CYTR at 1.70 easy money but very close to it.

    And i have no idea why so many Charlie Browns are still here on the board, if you dont like CYTR, bail. if you're trying to short this. . good luck. A stock that have low volume and can make 10% moves in a day. . . . good luck.

    but noone should be trying to unload shares now. wait for a cataylst.
