I've thought about the total silence from the company - starting from before Christmas, and including their own statement that there would be NASH news / results before Christmas.

The only reasonable explanation is that the data / news is excellent, and they are either (i) taking extra time to make sure it's presented perfectly, or (ii) talking with a company about a big partnership (or both). obviously we'll all be fine with these as the explanation of no news.

if it's something else (the data was bad, and they just didn't communicate), i think shareholders will be not happy, to put it mildly.

So, while i'm checking the news every day, i think it could be another week or so for them to organize the message about one of these very positive developments.

DISCLAIMER: over year years, i've made this "no news is good news" prediction 17 times and have a stellar 0-17 track record - but hey, there's always a first time.....
