  • Invest In Greece Because The Turnaround Has Already Started [View article]
    The normal retirement age in Greece is 65 to 67 years and the early retirement with 30 years work is 58 for some categories.
    Only in a very few other categories, like the law enforcement agency, is reduced around to 50 years.

    Not so long ago, we had for Greece the scenic picture of Mykonos with Athens as a capital and Acropolis with donkeys around as the main public transit. Now we have discovered a nation of lazy crooks.
    We prefer to live in myths and stereotypes...

  • Is This Oil-Weighted Energy Producer Overvalued After The Recent Price Surge? [View article]
    Thank you VD.

    What I like in your articles and responces, is that you call a spade a spade, without any "beating about the bush".
    I would also like to see a seperate article about Tuscany from you.

    I have sold the half of my position in Surge at $4.91...I don't disagree with you, it's far from being overvalued but I took some good profits, which has been made in a short time. For the rest 50%, I'm waiting to see how things turn out.

  • Why You Should Be Investing In DNA Vaccination Technology And Inovio Pharmaceuticals [View article]
    The CEO said in several CC that it's not his intention to sell the company, but they are in late discussions with big pharmas for a partnership.
    He referred to late stage discussions recently in BioCentury Publications Future Leaders in the Biotech Industry Conference, in April 5, the link with his CC is still available I think.

  • Why You Should Be Investing In DNA Vaccination Technology And Inovio Pharmaceuticals [View article]
    To Inovio's stuff, I think could be added Mark L. Bagarazzi, M.D. the Chief Medical Officer of Inovio Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Bagarazzi leads worldwide clinical development and regulatory activities for Inovio's next-generation vaccines for the treatment and prevention of influenza, HIV, other infectious diseases and cancers. He joined Inovio from Merck & Co., where he was Director of worldwide regulatory affairs for vaccines and biologics. He also worked onMerck's ZOSTAVAX(R), the leading vaccine for shingles. He was responsible for global regulatory activities related to Merck vaccine candidates for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. He successfully led the regulatory process through to FDA approval of RotaTeq(R), Merck's vaccine against rotavirus.

    As there is no reason for a reverse split, to wait for it will create a missing opportunity, when another certain positive catalyst like the HIV-1 PENNVAX peer reviewed scintific paper is coming in less than a month and half.

  • Paulson's Big Bets Have Been The Ultimate Contrarian Indicators For 2 Years Now [View article]
    I still own both Surge and Tuscany, I added in my position in Tuscany recently too. I haven't lock any profits from Surge yet, as todays rebound, in terms of volume and pps increase is technically very promising.

    I hope VD will write a new article about Tuscany soon because from his article, many things have changed in this company.

  • A Comprehensive Overview Of Active Electroporation Cancer Trials [View article]
    The bottom line is that you did not know "Inovio biomedical" and "Inovio Pharmaceuticals" under the leadership of Dr. J. Kim, are two different companies. All the rest are explained very well by "Kyle_Ramer" , above.

    Well...
    I understand it will be a long post...but it's only the 6 last months clinical trials of Inovio, with the use of its Electroporation Devices. All successful as you can see:

    1. May 14, 2013

  • Surge Energy: The Baby Has Obviously Been Thrown Out With The Bathwater [View article]
    Value Digger, you had insisted in Surge, repeating many times that you were buying while this stock looked like a "falling knife" and none had the guts to say 'I'm buying", even if he did so.

    CONGRATS.
