A view by a patient and investor

I have been a Geron investor since shortly before J&J discontinued the partnership. I have since viewed my investment purely from the lens of an investor until my diagnosis with AML back in June 10 which by far was the worst day of my life. After initial shock and good deal of fear I have been in an...

Good Bye

I am beyond disappointed. The CC yesterday showed Geron leadership is out of touch with competition, markets, and science. it seems they go through the motions, continue their fat pay checks and when it is over they will disappear. Any prudent biotech CEO would have secured a combo partnership by no...

Re: FTSV acquisition by GILD

Correction: MOS not MOA. I also meant to mention that, IMO, if the stock is not attractive for investment then the underlying issues makes it also unattractive for partnering and or acquisition. I think what we need is a competition centric leadership that is eager to try innovative, progressive imp...

Re: FTSV acquisition by GILD

Bill , Thank you for posing an important question. I have wrestled with the same thought quite some time. The conclusion I reached is that experts funds and institutions consult with do not appear to recommend investing in Geron. I know for fact that funds and institutions do not invest millions of ...

Re: Full Separation from Janssen???

Ryan, I have the same concerns. I think this would be a huge event in terms of share price appreciation. In the annual shareholders meeting someone I know who attended the meeting shared with me an informal comment by Scarlett that without full separation funds and institutions hesitate investing in...

Re: Imetelstat: The First Disease-Modifying Drug for Myelodysplastic Syndromes?

Bp, I totally agree that the disillusionment and disappointment that accompanied the Janssen rejection most definitely contributed to the low valuation. However, it does not help, for example, raising very small percentage of the cash at hand at 1.30 giving the impression that there will no catalyst...

Re: Imetelstat: The First Disease-Modifying Drug for Myelodysplastic Syndromes?

I have no intention to be disrespectful to challenge the opinions of smart and well informed people. However, I am really puzzled by your reasoning about the stock price being in the cash value range stemming from three year wait to approval and impatient market. Furthermore, possibility of a provis...

Re: New Post on Seeking Alpha

No matter how its sliced, we have good science and bad/very bad management. Best thing that can happen for patients and long investors is a new management/new beginning. If the latter has a chance to occur, share price will appreciate significianly on that news alone. It is time for investors to giv...

Sadly, I was wrong. Data does not excite Wall Street. And, there does not appear to be any new ideas/plans going forward.

Re: Tues conference

Bp, I agree completely. They are not organizing this event just to repeat the already published trial results. I believe this event has huge significance to dispel the bad omen created, as a consequence of J&J's discontinuation, about the commercial potential of Imetelstat. I hope that investor comm...

Re: The 2019 Annual Shareholders Meeting: My thoughts.

In my view, beyond the obvious, the most recent presentations reflect two pivotal points: a) Confirmation and emphasis of the effect of Imet on the malignant clone; b) Accordin...

Secret Thrid Arm: Thank you for raising good points in response to my post. I do agree with you that approval of Imet for MF is certainly in the horizon and imminent at some point. I am also encouraged that most recent trial results warrant further investigation of Imet in high risk MDS in addion to...

Re: The 2019 Annual Shareholders Meeting: My thoughts.

Bp and Hunt, I wish I could share your optimism and enthusiasm. Sitting on close to ½ million $ loss begs optimism and conformation bias to keep sane. Unfortunately, I do have concerns going forward. I think false optimism (I do hope your optimism is in effect a “real” optimism) is as dysfunctional ...
