To me, the question is, will his comments help the share price in the next couple of days or hurt it?

AF's thinking on the share price is not far from mine, in terms of the run-up we've had and how that might temper any rise on the share price on good results. The rather large difference being that a lot of biotech investing people follow his thinking; mine, not so much.

If he were merely trying to pump the price up, so as to be able to have his buddies short at a higher price, he would not have thrown in his last comment.

Finally, I doubt that many of those he polled know as much about the company as many here do. Those pollees have to follow too many stocks to get that in depth on one, notwithstanding what Al said about how big this will be!

By the way, I heard a rumor long ago that it was not Israel talking about the big order, but an Arab neighbor - think "petrofrezza."
