Lucifuge, after this spikes it will surely drop (have a look at NEU), do you think it will hit .07 or round-abouts again or is this announcement such significant event?
Cheers
Who knows what the announcement will be, or what effect it will cause. All I know is that I really like the company and am holding for the long term.
If you feel so sure it will drop, then sell.
The pase 2 trials will take some considerable time.WTF is going on with PRR? a supposedly good news release about a us investor, spiked up to 8c, then sliding down the next day to around 6.5c? what the hell is going on i cant work it out.
Keep in mind they may change the stock at any time say reducing them say if you own 10,000 shares at present and bought at a cheap price they may combine at say 20 to 100 so you end up with 500 shares these small companies tend do that, once they have done this your parcel becomes worthless then they can buy back. I don't fully understand how or why this happens but they seem to get away with it.
I personally now after learning the hard way to only trade in Blue chip stock they are dearer to buy but a much safer prospect with more transparency, you can make a lot more money trading in this kind of stock with much less risk. Make sure you do your research thoughly if you don't your just gambling.
The pase 2 trials will take some considerable time.
If it passes the trial 2 phase with the FDA.
There is a further trail with the FDA phase 3 it will take years yet. If you look at the records of the FDA more products get knocked back than accepted.
It is a speculative stock.
If it does well you will make money.

I don't fully understand how or why this happens but they seem to get away with it. Therefore the investors that were there for the long haul get no dividends and nothing really for supporting the company through the hard times. Its the smart investors that make the money out of these stocks they don't care what the company is doing they are trading that's all. Take a look at IPL for example of what I have told you or eco on delisted.com
.......
However I could be very wrong I am wrong a lot of times please remember I am new to this.
I still can't work out PRR another trading halt yesterday they said it would be a halt till Friday, but today resumed trading, and dropped in share price after the following news release, i honestly don't know what to think of this company.

PRIMA BIOMED SUBMITS CVAC™ IND APPLICATION WITH US FDA
• Investigational New Drug (IND) application major commercialisation milestone
for CVac™
Australian health care company Prima BioMed (Prima) (ASX: PRR) is pleased to
announce that is has submitted its Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to evaluate the Company’s core product, the
CVac™ ovarian cancer therapy vaccine.
The submission of the IND with US FDA is one of the major milestones to be achieved
in the commercialisation process for CVac™, and represents one of the critical
requirements of the product’s development cycle. The granting of Investigational New
Drug status is a pre-requisite for all new drug human clinical trial required for FDA
approval for commercialisation.
The filing of the IND represents the culmination of years of scientific and pre-clinical
validation of the technology and commitment from Prima and its world class medical
advisory team. The IND submission is being managed by former US FDA Deputy
Director of Cell and Gene Therapy Dr. Joyce Frey-Vasconcells, currently Executive
Director, PharmaNet Consulting, and the Company looks forward to delivering the
outcomes of the IND to the market as soon they become available.
Prima BioMed Chairman said: “The submission of our IND application for CVac™ with
the US FDA is a major step forward in the development timeline for this product and
strengthens the potential for the CVac™ cancer vaccine immunotherapy to provide a
positive solution for ovarian cancer sufferers."
"We look forward to working closely with the FDA to continue to advance the
development of what we hope will be the first commercially available active cancer
vaccine immunotherapy product for women with ovarian cancer in the world,” Mr
Gokyildirim said.
The Company continues to make rapid progress towards commercialising CVac™
into the global multi-billion oncology pharmacy market. CVac™ is an ovarian cancer
therapy vaccine treatment which is administered post-surgery and post-chemotherapy
to delay relapse and control metastases. There is a large un-met medical need for
new treatments for ovarian cancer which has a very high morbidity rate, and at
present there are no maintenance-based therapy products commercially available.
I know exactly why this happened on a business channel on austar the night before the stock shot up, a caller rang up to ask about the stock PRR the Broker was all over it, singing its praises. He has stock in the company, so low and behold the stock shot up.
Watched a replay of the business channel show on the weekend. Yes, you were right, the broker was all over the stock.
But, it still went up another 28% today.
How does that saying go "something about smoke and fire"
I think you can all go ahead "day trading" this stock for a while until the next big thing grabs everyone's attention. Volumes will TANK and there will be a lot of sad faces out there in a few months. Fair price for Prima right now is 0.045 - 0.052. I'm going to wait until then to get in.
But I also hope I'm wrong...what a lesson!
Wish I had brought in last week before they had announced the next phase in their trials.
