Looking at Last Week's Weakness, and What It Could Mean
'ALL CLEAR' alert. This is just like a forest fire out of control, and it will take some months of burning out before anyone returns in great numbers. Many investors have been burned already, so the confidence level is currently shattered. Quality companies will still be the foremost considered when investors start returning, like JNJ, MSFT,GRMN,FAST,NPK, and MKTAY, especially during a recession. Some of the biotech companies are interesting at these new levels, but some need to go bankrupt because they do not belong on the exchange any longer. They have cost shareholders huge amounts of losses, and some do not even have any products, but have huge debt, no sales growth, and investors have watched the stock drop between 85-95% in value over the past 12 months.
They continue to offer HYPED news releases while management still gets paid and receive bonuses.
They need to be weeded out and the research firms that follow and tout them too.
General Discussion on NSTK
MDRNA announced that it has acquired intellectual property related to RNAI.
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS ABOUT AS IMPORTANT AS 'A FLY ON THE WALL'. THE STOCK CLOSED ON THURSDAY, OCT.23rd. AT $.17 CENTS WHICH IS ANOTHER NEW LOW RECORDED FOR THE STOCK.
NOW WHAT IS THE COMPANY WORTH TODAY?
WITH LARGE DEBT AND LARGE EXPENSES AND LITTLE REVENUE, HOW CAN THEY ATTAIN A PARTNER THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED TO SURVIVE? ESPECIALLY IN THIS MARKET ENVIRONMENT TODAY. THEY STILL PAY HIGH RENT FOR THEIR HEADQUARTERS THAT ISN'T WARRANTED, SINCE THEY HAVE 'NO PRODUCTS' BEING MANUFACTURED. BY NOW, THE CEO, MR.FRENCH MUST BE SORRY TO BE AFFILIATED WITH THIS COMPANY. THIS WON'T LOOK GOOD ON HIS RECORD AND AS I STATED MONTHS AGO, DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF HE RESIGNS BEFORE THE END OF 08. IMAGINE FROM $20.00 TO $.17 CENTS? AN INVESTORS NIGHTMARE!
'When There's Blood in the Streets', Buy Biotech Stocks
Jim Cramer has now done a 360 and advising people to sell everything, after hitting the buy,buy,buy bottom for years, and you are informing others about history and for people to consider biotechs now. But part of history is the depression to consider. At a time when global markets are plunging, I do not believe this is safe advice to publish. We are in a beginning stages of a global depression which will take years to possibly recuperate from. So investors are better off for now to hold onto their money, and use it for survival. It is bad out there and we are making new history Mr.Hammer.
Four Value Priced Stocks: Sysco, Eli Lilly, PepsiCo and Johnson & Johnson
IT CLOSED AT $.28 CENTS AFTER A SERIES OF GOOD NEWS RELEASES. WITH MONTHLY EXPENSES FAR EXCEEDING MONTHLY REVENUE, HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THEY CONTINUE TO EXIST? THE MARKET IS CORRECTING AND REACTING TO THE FINANCIAL MESS WE ARE IN AND THAT DOESN'T HELP ALL STOCKS. SO THE TREND IS STILL DOWNWARD AND INVESTORS ARE REFRAINING FROM ANY SERIOUS INVESTING AT THIS TIME. AND IT LOOKS LIKE YEAR END SELLING IS TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW!
EVIDENCE OF IT HAS TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.
MRNA: 9 MONTHS OF STOCK DOWNTREND AND IT IS STILL NOT OVER!
STATS STILL POINTING DOWNTREND IN PLACE.
TOMORROW, SPEACH AT MAXIM CONFERENCE ACCOMPLISHES WHAT?
RNAI IS INTERESTING, HOWEVER THEIR MONTHLY EXPENSE OUTLAY FAR EXCEEDS THEIR MONTHLY REVENUE. HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THIS GO ON TO EXIST AS A COMPANY?
IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN PULLING A RABBIT OUT OF A HAT.
MONEY IS THE FUEL THAT IS NEEDED, THEREFORE A PARTNER HAS TO BE ATTAINED FOR THEM TO SURVIVE. AND IN THIS MESS ON WALL STREET, COUPLED WITH A FINANCIAL CRISIS DOESN'T HELP MAKE A PARTNER WHO MAY BE CONSIDERING JOINING FORCES AND MAKING AN AGREEMENT, SO SIMPLISTIC AT THIS CURRENT TIME.
MDRNA INC(MRNA) FUNDAMENTAL SOUNDNESS EVALUATION SUMMARY 10/03/08
MDRNA INC(MRNA) HEADQUARTERS
3830 Monte Villa Parkway
Bothell, WA 98021
OPINION: I have stated for over 10 months why do they continue to have this headquarters with such a high costly expense item on their balance sheet, when basically no products of significance is being produced. This should have been included in their restructoring plan, and a smaller facility, if any should have been attained..
NEXT QTLY REPORT WILL INCLUDE
THIS ADDITIONAL EXPENSE:
effective on September 30, 2008 (the "Termination Date").
In connection with Dr. Brandt’s termination, the Company will pay Dr. Brandt a total of one year of base compensation as severance (or $376,000),
and, in connection with Mr. Duffy’s termination, the Company will pay Mr. Duffy a total of one year of base compensation as severance (or $249,500)

MRNA: 9 MONTHS OF STOCK DOWNTREND AND IT IS STILL NOT OVER!
GROWTH REVENUE?
RETURN ON EQUITY?
QTLY EARNINGS REPORT?
DEBT?
DECIMATION OF STOCK PRICE($18 DOLLARS TO $.50 CENTS)?
PIPELINE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AFTER 24 YEARS?
ISSUANCE OF STOCK TWICE IN 14 MONTHS?
DIVORCE OF MERCK & P&G?
WHY CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER RESIGNED IN JAN.2008 FOLLOWED BY ACCOUNTANTS ISSUING A "LETTER OF CONCERN LETTER"?
OR THAT THE STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN TRADING UNDER $1.00 FOR 38 CONSECUTIVE DAYS NOW?
WILL ANY OF THE ABOVE BE A MOTIVATION FACTOR TO BUY INTO 'MRNA' NOW?
FROM THIS POINT ON, EVERYONE FROM COMPANIES, TO SECURITY ANALYSTS AND BROKERS, RESEARCH FIRMS, THEIR EXPERTS, WILL BE UNDER A MICROSCOPE
ON WALL STREET NOW AFTER THE WALL STREET DEBACLE RECENTLY.
This posting is for the many investors who lost millions to date and are left financially ruined.
MDRNA INC(MRNA) 09/18/08 FRUITION ONCE AGAIN*NEW LOWS*
While the stock market is facing new tidal waves of new financial woes,
I believe that it is in the best interest of investors to wait on the sidelines
for a couple of months before jumping back into the market. I was correct in posting the "DOW" would be taking a hit on 09/10/08 on SOCIAL PICKS WEB SITE. And companies, investment groups, or Institutions are going to be more on the alert before partnering with anyone at this time than ever before. But I believe that French has found a suitable partner already
for MDRNA INC., by the companies actions making him officially President and one of the Board of Directors. However, a "COMPLIANCE LETTER"
will be issued by the 'SEC' soon and they may have to Reverse split the stock in the next four(4) months in order to comply with the SEC.
Still I have been the most accurate on this prestigious site, and many other sites with my postings, as the stock price continues downward for over 18 months now and with new continuing lows being recorded as I have so stated previously that would happen.
MRNA: 9 MONTHS OF STOCK DOWNTREND AND IT IS STILL NOT OVER!
THE TREND IS STILL DOWNWARD WITH EXPECTATIONS OF A LETTER FROM THE SEC
REGARDING 'COMPLIANCE' (30 DAYS OF THE STOCK BEING UNDER $1.00)
A TRAVESTY FOR INVESTORS!
Top Eight Media Stocks
I believe the market is about to take a hit!
In turn many stocks will go down.
Reasons: bank failures, financial institutions are in trouble, the political climate for electing a president is in turmoil and last but not least, the danger is rising for an attack of some kind marking the 7 year anniversary of 9/11.
Beware the Investor!
MRNA: 9 MONTHS OF STOCK DOWNTREND AND IT IS STILL NOT OVER!
WILL HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECT ON STOCK PRICE!
COMPLIANCE DATA FROM 'SEC'
NASDAQ
Companies listed on NASDAQ are required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. NASDAQ uses the consolidated closing bid price to determine whether a company complies with this requirement. If a company trades for 30 consecutive business days below the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, NASDAQ will send a deficiency notice to the company, advising that it has been afforded a "compliance period" of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements.
Does NASDAQ accept reverse stock splits as a method to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement?
Yes. NASDAQ views reverse stock splits as an acceptable method to regain compliance. If the company determines to implement a reverse stock split, it will need to provide certain information to NASDAQ. See the following Frequently Asked Question for additional information. Furthermore, to inform the market of the reverse stock split, NASDAQ will append a fifth character, "D", to the company's symbol for approximately 20 trading days following the reverse stock split.
FINAL NOTE: EVEN IF THEY ATTAINED A PARTNER THEY MAY HAVE TO REVERSE SPLIT THE STOCK. With a grave yard full of past investors,
does anyone realize the enormous task at hand, to re-establish this company with any creditability, and the amount of unknown 'time' before any potential revenue is generated?

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals: A Falling Star
TO MANY COMPANIES MAKE CHRONIC NEWS RELEASES OVER AGREEMENTS, EXCLUSIVES AND OVER HYPE THE STOCK CREATING ENTHUSIASM AS YOU SO STATED. BUT THAT ONLY LEAVES THE SHAREHOLDERS HOLDING THE BAG FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. IF MR. ALSENAS, SENIOR ANALYST, IS TELLING CLIENTS THAT 'ALYNAM' MAY NEVER DEVELOP A PRODUCT REGARDING 'RNAI', THEN COMPANIES WHO ARE FAR BEHIND ALYNAM CURRENT PROGRESS, REALISTICALLY HAS THE SAME SCENARIO PROGNOSIS.
CASE IN POINT THE NEW COMPANY 'MRNA'(MDRNA INC).
AS MR. ALSENAS STATS RNAI FAD IS GETTING SHAREHOLDERS TOO EXCITED AND A RNAI PRODUCT IS YEARS AWAY.
MRNA: 9 MONTHS OF STOCK DOWNTREND AND IT IS STILL NOT OVER!
What would make the stock price go up from here? Approvals, large shareholder volume of purchases, or institutions purchases,large revenues and positive quarterly reports, insider buying,etc.
But none of this is happening today,tomorrow, or any time soon.
Chasing a low stock price that has been free falling for 15 months is not the realistic answer either. So what is in the investors mind today investing in 'MRNA'?
IS IT RATIONAL, OR LOGIC THINKING,
OR JUST PLAIN SUICIDAL TENDENCIES OF IRRATIONAL BEHAVIOR?
General Discussion on NSTK
THE FINAL ULOGY "THE BURDEN OF SURVIVAL IS NOW ON MANAGEMENTS SHOULDERS." THE SHAREHOLDERS&STOCK PRICE HAVE BEEN DECIMATED! FROM $18 TO $.76 CENTS! THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS SO EXTENSIVE THAT EVEN HAVING A NEW CEO, MR.FRENCH, ISN'T GOING TO MAKE THIS OLD HORSE & FRENCH AS THE JOCKEY, WIN THE KENTUCKY DERBY IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HOWEVER, HIS JOB NOW IS CRITICAL, AND IN ORDER FOR MR.FRENCH AND MANAGEMENT TO SURVIVE AND CONTINUE TO EXIST IN THE FUTURE, HE MUST FIND A 'PARTNER'. I HAVE POSTED MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION ON 'SEEKING ALPHA' THESE PAST 18 MONTHS, THAN ANYONE ELSE INCLUDING JIM CRAMER.
MY NAME SHOULD REPLACE ALL THE GENERAL DISCUSSIONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS SITE INSTEAD OF JIMMY CRAMER.
ADVOCATE FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS!
