Does anyone expect anything "new" to come out of Needham? Is it typically a place for announcements or for clarifications of past statements? To my recollection it is the later. Reason I ask is, I'm thinking of buying some more shares to put in my sons' 529 plans but not sure when. Was thinking after Needham, Geron might settle down until the next catalyst, but then again, I've NEVER seen Geron behave as it is in my 6 plus years investing in it, except for its mild run up just prior to the hold. Anyone have any predictions?

moot point...according to my broker, one cannot place anything into a 529 plan except a mutual fund. I could do the IBB, but not today.

Scott- I have listened to Geron investor conferences since Q4 2014 and historically speaking Scarlett has not used investor conferences as forums for significant new information. New information may require additional disclosure under SEC rules. Scarlett does sometimes expand upon or clarify research findings. Listen to his tone and the Q&A. Olivia (investor relations at Geron) made a point to mention Needham on the fiscal ‘17 call. Geron was somewhat delayed posting the Needham info on Geron investor relations web page. Not sure why. In lieu of 529 you can invest 401k (Roth) $ in individual stocks and achieve tax benefits on withdraws for higher education. CYA- I am not a tax guy or fiduciary. Do your own confirmation of information.

Difficult to say; I am not expecting real new things and I do believe known things to be confirmed. So in my opinion there is a good change of GERN going up further or there will be little profit taking. Both, on the longer term, are not that significant, so taking the momentum and setting aside something for your sons is not a bad thing, as long as you can miss the money. I did something for my sons too...
