Cancun, what would you consider a little hint?
Beyond saying "we are already in multiple partnering discussions, they are underway" ? ...... I guess he could say something publicly (in general) like "we are currently being valued between $3-8b by BP's, but we are holding out for $15b" ?
How does that really work in "earnest" negotiations though, and why would you say something like that, when you know the long term and bigger investor value is in the "deal(s)" down the road, not the current market day to day?
If you want that information in the streets for negotiation advantages, you leak it ... other than stating you are in multiple negotiations. imho
It has been apparent for a long time, the RVX efforts and energies are going into developing the drug, and partnerships, not pumping the stock and not looking out for the short term and small investors. jmho
