Well after losing $50k in this stock, I still follow it because I bought my son some stock and am hoping for some recover some day. Small potatoes to my $50k loss. I learned some good lessons thou.

Since VZ knows they can't sell Citgo before getting the sale blocked to pay Exxon and GRZ claim, they are now trying to raise $2.5 billion against the Citgo assets to keep things running down there. They will fail to repay this debt....mark my words. Basically they now think they might possibly extract $2.5 billion out of an asset worth 10 to 15 billion. Desperate people do desperate things. The people of VZ need to wake up and effect change. We will never see a penny here. Too many crooks involved here. Lesson learned!!!

Thanks for starting this board! I had only been visiting the MNKD board on Agoracom. I was stuck with Yahoo board for EXEL. Way too much trash on the board. I'm not a science guy so I can not add much but do have $40k invested with EXEL. Been through the ABGX, MEDX meat grinder and came out great. I tend to buy into (gamble) with biotech where I believe the science is good. What a learning curve this has all been. I'm not a day trader and buy and hold for the long term. The cycles of biotech stocks is starting to become clearer but I have never shorted a stock and never intend to. Timing of news cycles, run up to results, sell the news, and the unexpected buy out make this process frustrating and exciting. High risk with high reward. Basically I have my mad money account that I play with and have learned a lot along the way.

Too bad for note holders. Can't post link.
