I first heard of Cytodyn and Leronlimab in the spring of 2020 and purchased my first shares on 4/2/2020. Like so many others, as I began to really dig into the MOA in this MAB, I was thoroughly convinced that we'd receive emergency use authorization for Covid as the "elegance" (as Dr. Jay likes to state and Dr. Patterson expressed in his TED talk) with which this drug operates is so relatively simplistic at its core: block CCR5 allosterically and thereby disrupt the virus or tumor's (as we're discovering in the solid tumor environment) attempt at hijacking the immune system's communication pathway, and now the unimpeded immune system, along with an almost "too-good-to-be-true" cascade of downstream effects, is able to fight back and actually gain the upper hand against these invading forces.
Like many of you, I began to "back up the truck" and quickly found myself crossing milestones that made me both proud (to be supporting a company on the verge of a true medical breakthrough) and aghast: (thinking to myself - now have more invested than...my first car...my first year's salary...what my parents paid for their first house...what I paid for my first house...etc.). Suffice to say, I'm probably in the top bracket when it comes to receiving "damages" from the class-action suit as I hit it hard and heavy during that timeframe.
Then came the slow bleed that led to a near collapse (didn't really think it was possible while it was happening in real-time and thought it would reverse just as quickly as it declined) that we've all lived through the past few years. Looking back, I'm glad my conviction was as strong as it was with the potential for Leronlimab as I was able to continue to add to the war chest and bring my average down from what was $5-6/SH on 100's of 1,000's of shares to a much more manageable level.
Since my very first purchase until today, I have yet to sell a single share and now proudly hold well north of 7 figures. I've been one of many "lurkers" on this site and have read nearly every post since 2020 as I peruse this board daily. The amount of knowledge I've gained is incalculable and heavily contributed to my conviction to defy every sensible investment strategy and put nearly all my eggs in this basket. I can't thank you all enough for faithfully posting your insight and words of wisdom over these many years. I know it's been extremely challenging, at times, to keep the faith but the unwavering commitment of the group on this forum is truly inspirational.
Speaking of inspiration, how about Dr. Jay - to think of where we'd be without him is a thing of nightmares. I truly believe he'll be in line to win numerous awards when all is said and done. And the funny thing is, he couldn't care less about whatever accolades may come his way - he has a servant's heart and is a breath of fresh air amidst a sea of snakes.
I hope you'll forgive my tardiness in coming out of the shadows and welcome me into the fold. The next few months will be quite interesting and I can't wait for the ASCO presentation in January and the full release of the CRC trial's results. Until then, I'm looking forward to becoming more engaged with you all.
P.S. I have one bit of anecdotal insight to share, but I'll save that for my next post as I wanted to try to establish some level of bona fides with you all first.
