  • Biotech Stocks for a Possible Year-End Rally [View article]
    I see you did leave MRNA off your list.
    MDRNA INC (MRNA) UPDATE NOV.27TH, 2009
    AFTER A YEAR FILLED WITH NEW PARTNERS, DRUG APPROVAL, IN VIVO SUCCESSFUL RESULTS, THE STOCK HAS FALLEN TO $.84 CENTS.
    RECENTLY THEY RECEIVED A WARNING LETTER FROM NASDAQ.
    RIGHT NOW AT THE 12TH HOUR, ONCE AGAIN THEY ARE SEEKING FUNDING OR AS THEY CALL IT PARTNERING, SO THAT THEY CAN KEEP THE DOORS OPEN ANOTHER YEAR AND PAY THE 2010 EXPENSES.
    AHEAD OF THE CURVE, EXPECT YEAR END SELLING TO PICK UP STEAM, FOLLOWED BY YEAR END FINANCIAL REPORT, AND POTENTIALLY ANOTHER LETTER FROM THEIR ACCOUNTANTS, REGARDING 'GROWING CONCERN'. WHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON,
    IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE
    NASDAQ REGARDING COMPLIANCE.(UNDER $1 DOLLAR FOR THIRTY CONSECUTIVE DAYS) OTHER THAN THAT, SHAREHOLDERS HAVE THE ENTHUSIASM OF GOLD MINE PROSPECTORS.
    YET HISTORY SEEMS TO REPEAT ITSELF DECADE AFTER DECADE.
    WAVES OF NEW SHAREHOLDERS CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES. MORE AND MORE MONEY IS LOST TIME AFTER TIME.
    AND YET THIS COMPANY STILL EXISTS AFTER 26 YEARS AND MANAGEMENT STILL GETS PAID WHETHER THE ECONOMY IS GOOD OR EVEN THROUGH A RECESSION. SO IN CONCLUSION, IT IS IN MY OPINION, THAT AS LONG AS WE HAVE SHAREHOLDERS WHO BELIEVE IN THE HYPE, POTENTIAL, AND THE TOUTING, ALONG WITH RESEARCH FIRMS BACKING UP THIS COMPANY WITH HIGH TARGET PRICES, THEN MDRNA INC(MRNA) CAN CONTINUE YET ANOTHER YEAR!

  • Financing Drug Discovery: Recent Deals  [View article]
    The Burrill Report should consider doing an article on "MRNA".
    With the Wind of Words, the fog will be blown clear for all to see
    where "MRNA" really stands as an investment today.
    In need for a 12th Hour injection of funds to pay for 2010 Expenses,
    and to stay open for business another year, it would be interesting to all, to really see what is on the Table for Investors right now.
    So far this Company has kept their doors open for 26 years straight,
    with hardly any products, no serious earnings revenues, and given shareholders the ROLLER-COASTER ride of their lives to date.
    From $20 dollars to $.84 cents, but with more news releases than the White House.
    After several new issuances of stock, warning letters from NASDAQ, letter of growing concern from their own accountants,
    shareholders who are left, perceive this company as a winner?
    PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT, AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

  • Three Recent Biotech Activist Wins by Carl Icahn [View article]
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING MIKE BECKER. I THOUGHT SOMEHOW, I COULD REACH THE EXPERIENCED WRITERS MIND, ON 'MRNA'. THERE HAS BEEN, A SEVERE MISINFORMATION DRIVE FOR YEARS ON THIS STOCK AND A TOTAL INJUSTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS WHO HAVE LOST TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS.
    I CAN NOT GET ONE WRITER WHO WOULD CONSIDER COVERING THIS STOCK LIKE AN ADVOCATE FOR THE PEOPLE. THE SEC ONLY INVESTIGATES WHAT THEY DEEM NECESSARY, AND WILL NOT LISTEN TO A SHAREHOLDERS OR FORMER SHAREHOLDERS.
    SOMEONE HAS TO CARE OUT THERE AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND CONTRIBUTE STRAIGHT FORWARD PERTINENT INFORMATION, AFTER ALL THE CORRUPTION
    THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO LIGHT THESE PAST 14 MONTHS ON WALL STREET.
    THERE IS A STORY HERE, THAT WOULD BE A SCOOP COMPARED TO ANY OTHER INVESTMENT WEB SITES
    ON LINE.
    OR IS IT JUST SELECTIONS AND PERSONAL PICKS OF A WRITERS CHOICE?
    MRNA-COMPLETING ITS 26 TH YEAR, AT CURRENT STOCK PRICE OF $.89 CENTS, NO SERIOUS REVENUES, HORRENDOUS STATS, POOR QTLY EARNINGS, WARNING LETTERS FROM THEIR ACCOUNTANTS, & NASDAQ, PLUS CHRONIC SEEKING OF FINANCING TO EXIST AND KEEP THE LIGHTS ON FOR ANOTHER YEAR. & ALL THIS TIME
    MANAGEMENT GETS PAID, WHILE NUMEROUS INVESTORS
    TAKE FINANCIAL BATHS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
    WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
    DOES ANYONE CARE?

  • Biotech Stocks for a Possible Year-End Rally [View article]
    While I like the Biotech sector, and there are many worthy companies to purchase, with real potential big gains, in my opinion, Thanksgiving
    week should be slow. More sales than buys too. However, more signals point to a fairly large sell off beginning the first week of December. I believe in the best interest of shareholders, it would be wiser to wait until the third week of January to check the pulse of the Dow, before investing any money into any company.
    RISK/REWARD TO DANGEROUS FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, WITH THIS PUMPED UP DOW!

    If I may put in the stocking as a request for the Holidays, when you have the time, can you please give your honest straight forward
    opinion, at this current time, your realistic opinion on one stock?
    MDRNA INC (MRNA)-IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

  • Why the Stock Market Should Crash [View article]
    CHARLES YOUR ARTICLE MAKES SENSE AND SOME OF THE COMMENTS AS WELL ARE VERY GOOD IN DEED.
    The Dow currently is reflecting only greed and not accurate at all.
    Things are getting worse in all aspects and the Dow has to collapse
    to a 7,000 level before things begin to get better in my opinion.
    In the New york areas, many stores are empty, the remaining store owners are suffering financially. People are asking for credit in stores, and in Manhattan,Brooklyn, and Queens areas, you can witness first hand how citizens are now taking food out of the garbage, after people discard what they have just finished eating for Breakfast, or lunch, or Diner. I have experienced an onslaught of individuals stopping in my place of business looking for work.
    People come in crying that they may loose their homes, or be put out of their apartments lately. They say the Recession is over, but I have stated for the past 6 months that we are in a DEPRESSION.
    To be ahead of the curve, the only way of complete recovery, for all Americans, and our Country, is a very obvious result.
    One that will take years, however the outcome won't be pretty at all. And Charles the answer is on the Wall. It is 'WAR'.
    LIKE YOU SAID IN THE BEGINNING, OF YOUR ARTICLE,
    MAYBE NOT TODAY, OR EVEN NEXT YEAR, BUT WITHIN 4 YEARS, THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE BIGGEST
    PROBLEM OUR COUNTRY FACES SINCE 1929!
    GOD HELP US!

  • Today's Closing Update: Slim Gains Boost Dow [View article]
    update:'MRNA'`11/13/09... REPORT, COMPANY BEAT CONSENSUS BY TWO CENTS? STILL $-.17 CENTS FOR QTR.
    SIGNIFICANT? SPEACH BY CEO RE:CONFERENCE CALL-
    THIS IS HOW THEY EARN THEIR MONEY, AND DAY AFTER,
    A NEWS RELEASE, REGARDING A LETTER FROM NASDAQ.
    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
    On November 6, 2009, the Company received a Staff Deficiency Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on November 5, 2009, the aggregate market value of the Company's common stock was below the $50,000,000 minimum market value required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as specified by Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(2).
    In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has 90 calendar days, or until February 4, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement. To regain compliance, the closing market value of the Company's common stock must equal or exceed $50,000,000 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days or for such longer period that Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require.
    If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement by February 4, 2010, Nasdaq will provide the Company written notification that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel.
    The Staff Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
    A copy of the press release dated November 12, 2009 announcing receipt of the Staff Deficiency Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
    WAS THIS DISCUSSED YESTERDAY AT ALL?
    DID THEY DISCUSS THE EXPENSE MONEY FOR 2010 AT ALL?
    OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND!
    IN MY OPINION, THE STOCK CONTINUES ITS 'SOUTH' DIRECTION FROM $1 DOLLAR. TOO MANY NEGATIVES,
    TOO EARLY OF A PRE-CLINICAL STAGE COMPANY, AND NO SERIOUS EARNINGS REVENUES WITH EPS GROWTH.
    TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

  • 3 Biotechs, 3 Big Pharma Plays for the Coming Generics Boom [View article]
    What a difference three months make! ISIS has 20 drugs and plenty of money now. A real turnaround story worthy of mention.
    Nov.10th, A great article, although pre-mature, but never the less
    a sensational stock it is. I felt the same way about ISIS two years ago, and couldn't understand why a T.V. personality suggested on the air to sell 'ISIS' and buy 'NSTK'(NOW MRNA). TALK ABOUT EGG ON HIS FACE. THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM BACK THEN,
    AND WHERE IS 'MRNA' TODAY, ABOUT $1DOLLAR.
    SEEKINGALPHA, DOES HAVE THE BEST WRITERS FOR INVESTORS, AND INVESTORS SHOULD NEVER EVER DEPEND ON T.V.PERSONALITIES OR THE FRIENDLY RESEARCH FIRMS WHO FOLLOW THE COMPANY. THEY GIVE CHRONIC 'BUY' SIGNALS AND HIGH TARGET PRICES THAT NEVER COME CLOSE. AND YET THEY DO NOT REVISE THEIR CALLS EITHER.
    THIS IS MY OPINION!

  • Three Core Biotech Holdings: Isis, Ligand and Vical [View article]
    Michael Steinberg "nice article". Especially about 'ISIS'.
    You know several years ago I liked 'ISIS for my own reasons.
    Then someone on T.V. said sell ISIS and by NSTK. From $15
    nstk went down to $.28 cents since then. They changed the name to 'MRNA', made two partnership deals went back to $3 dollars, and quickly went back down to around $1.35. Today, 'MRNA opens up at $1 dollar approximately. Back when I thought there was too much hype, too much pumping, including the research firms constant buy signals & high target prices. Now as the year comes to a close, MRNA heads back to under $1 dollar for a second time. Sometimes you must stick with your picks and not be influenced by T.V. personalities, or Research firms.
    Anyhow Michael, what say you about 'MRNA'?

  • Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. Q3 2009 Earnings Conference Call [View article]
    AT $52.00 I THOUGHT 'AEM' WAS A BUY, AND THE REAL GAINS WILL CONTINUE ALL THROUGH 2010.
    THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS, THE DOLLAR WEAK, AND THE DOW INDUSTRIALS NOT REFLECTING REALITY DUE TO THE FUND MANAGERS BEING FORCED TO BUY SINCE MISSING OUT EARLY IN 2009, THERE IS MUCH DISTRESS COMING ARE WAY WITHIN 30-90 DAYS. ONCE THAT HAPPENS THE SMART ONES WILL BUY 'AEM' AND DRIVE THE PRICE TO $100 DOLLARS FROM ITS CURRENT PRICE OF $60 DOLLARS. BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE FIRST REAL SIGNAL WILL BE IF GOLD HITS OVER $1100 DOLLARS.

  • Today's Closing Update: Slim Gains Boost Dow [View article]
    'MRNA' NOW $1.07 BEFORE OPENING TODAY, NOV.9TH,2009
    FINANCIAL BLOG-WHERE WILL THE COMPANY ATTAIN THE FINANCES TO CONTINUE TO EXIST FOR ALL OF 2010?
    NEGATIVES FAR OUTWEIGH THE POSITIVES IN MANY WAYS!
    AND EVEN THOUGH THE QTLY REPORT WILL SHOW A LOSS ON NOV.12TH, LISTEN TO CONFERENCE CALL.
    YOU WILL HEAR A REAL ORATOR, A PERFORMANCE BY THE CEO TO EARN HIS PAY IN EVERY WAY.
    BOTTOM LINE: WHILE STOCK PRICE IS LOW AND SO MANY IN VIVO REPORTS THAT WERE POSITIVE ALL THROUGH 2009, HOW COME INSIDERS DIDN'T BUY UP ANY SHARES?
    HOW MANY TIMES MUST MANAGEMENT DODGE THE BULLETS AND COME UP WITH THE MONEY NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO EXIST?

  • Charlie Gasparino: Another Crash 'Has to Happen Again' [View article]
    New President doesn't stand strong about America and Liberty.
    His appointees are for the most part, just part of his gang sort of speak. Congress, the men&women have had a good thing going for many years, and it is either play ball, or your outed. So it continues onward. The health bill is merely a Tax Bill in disguise and the citizens of America, must brace for yet another screwing in plain English. Citizens are being screwed by Banks, Wall street, and many professional CEO'S of companies, along with their management teams, friendly Research firms, analysts, high target prices, etc..
    Bailouts to Banks, aren't helping the potential American buyers
    trying to attain mortgages with 20-25-30% down, because they are being denied left and right. It seems as if the Bank want to hold onto their new found cash instead.
    The dollar is not as easy to exchange into Euro's in Europe, because many Americans have to travel Bank to bank to find one who does exchange the dollar today. Next, I understand the new trend for oil purchases, like in Norway, is not accepting the dollar for oil. So the movement is on to replace the currency in America,
    and probably will take place within 2 years. Money,greed,and power, has reached new highs in America like the Plague.
    YOU CAN NOT TRUST YOUR POLITICIANS, CONGRESSMEN,CONGRESSWO... OR GOVERNMENT WITH ALL THESE CROOKS STILL LINING THEIR POCKETS AND CONTINUED BALL PLAYING
    GOINGS ON. TRUST IS REPLACED BY GREED, AND GREED
    IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. WE CAN ONLY HAVE A NEW BEGINNING AFTER WE HAVE A TOTAL COLLAPSE
    OF GOVERNMENT,ECONOMY,THE AMERICAN DOLLAR,
    WHICH WILL COME SOONER THAN LATER.
