it was the only time and place that i have experienced where you could get high on almost anything that you desired, then they gave you a weapon and ammo, and turned you loose in the jungle where you could take any vietnamese woman you wanted if that was your thing, ravage a village without any ramifications, and kill knowing that no one is going to bother you about it. or be killed all while stoned on great weed. it was as close to the old west as you could get. especially if you were part of a special group and not part of the general army population. but none of that was the reason we supposedly "lost the war".

Webs,
Were you old enough to take her out in her prime? http://www.cinemaretro.com/uploads/jane_fonda.jpg
Maybe now that she's more mature

DNdn FDA news release - for you guys

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm210174.htm

FDA Approves a Cellular Immunotherapy for Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Provenge (sipuleucel-T), a new therapy for certain men with advanced prostate cancer that uses their own immune system to fight the disease.

Provenge is indicated for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is resistant to standard hormone treatment.

Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer among men in the United States, behind skin cancer, and usually occurs in older men. In 2009, an estimated 192,000 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed and about 27,000 men died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute.

“The availability of Provenge provides a new treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer, who currently have limited effective therapies available,” said Karen Midthun, M.D., acting director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

Provenge is an autologous cellular immunotherapy, designed to stimulate a patient’s own immune system to respond against the cancer. Each dose of Provenge is manufactured by obtaining a patient’s immune cells from the blood, using a machine in a process known as leukapheresis. To enhance their response against the cancer, the immune cells are then exposed to a protein that is found in most prostate cancers, linked to an immune stimulating substance. After this process, the patient’s own cells are returned to the patient to treat the prostate cancer. Provenge is administered intravenously in a three-dose schedule given at about two-week intervals.

The effectiveness of Provenge was studied in 512 patients with metastatic hormone treatment refractory prostate cancer in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial, which showed an increase in overall survival of 4.1 months. The median survival for patients receiving Provenge treatments was 25.8 months, as compared to 21.7 months for those who did not receive the treatment.

Almost all of the patients who received Provenge had some type of adverse reaction. Common adverse reactions reported included chills, fatigue, fever, back pain, nausea, joint ache and headache. The majority of adverse reactions were mild or moderate in severity. Serious adverse reactions, reported in approximately one quarter of the patients receiving Provenge, included some acute infusion reactions and stroke. Cerebrovascular events, including hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes, were observed in 3.5 percent of patients in the Provenge group compared with 2.6 percent of patients in the control group.

Provenge is manufactured by Seattle-based Dendreon Corp.

Pete, IMHO only for the short term maybe late to get in. But longer term looks like a very promising investment. They are 25% geared up in their NJ facility and plan to treat first patient next week.

It's more a lesson I'm trying to bring to the table. When it comes to short term investing in biotech, aim for companies that are showing successful Phase III clinical trials and submitting their results to the FDA for approval. A year ago, Dendreon did this but the FDA asked for more info. Now finally gets approval. All of these are long haul situations. Stretching patience for the short term/swing trader like me. I only got into DNDN (for the second time in 2 years) three weeks ago (late but still a gamble) when I realized the FDA decision was close and the data was fabulous.

A lot of people on the Zoo board have been in for years, since it was a 2-4 dollar stock. Check out the monthly chart to see the patience required and all the going thru the wringer. That's why I think it's only a certain type of investor or trader that has the chutzpah to grit their teeth for the long haul. Which is what it takes to invest in biotech. And an awful lot of the biotech stocks you list are definitely not for the short term trader or the faint of heart. And there are probably a lot of winners buried there. I'm just gonna wait till they get further along.

Stock just trading again at around 51 and humongous volume. Still holding.

Hot Tip

Rumor has it that DNDN winners are going to switch to DCTH. Only rumor.

DCTH is another company with a fabulous product waiting for FDA approval and positive Phase III results. Disclosure: I'm in this one too. Dredre was the person who brought it to the board, and I thank him. Worth a look because it just might be on it's way up again, overextended or not. JMHO.

LION-I bought in a couple of weeks ago and have seen nice steady increases to a 36% gain. I believe that this one has a long way to go yet. $18-$20 not out of the possibilities here and the company is a good takeover target as well.

[scanda]

Hey Pete, thanks for the heads up on APKT back in early December. I did my homework on it and got in at $11.40.
Now I need to figure out when to sell?
Thanks again!
