NONSENSE

Down is up. Up is down.
Black is white. White is black

I had a colleague a few years back who was ex Navy. She served on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.  Her job was to talk pilots down for landings, making sure they landed right side up.  Because they often became disoriented on the sorties, sometimes they didn't know which way was up. And which way was down. So she had to tell them, she was their voice of reason, to tell them which way was up. And which way was down.

One pilot, the one she thought about all these years, didn't listen.  He trusted his feelings, his emotions, which after a high velocity combat mission had disoriented him.  He was flying upside down. She told him to flip over, and pull up. He didn't, thinking up was down. And down was up.  He was the only one she lost.

So, here we are. Down is up. Up is down.
Great news, we fall by 8%.   Market tanks, we're up.

Nonsense.

Sense?

  • AP26113, Breakthrough therapy status (one of only eight such cases in 2014). 
  • Pona gets thumbs up from PRAC, kills damn near every mutant, has 5 plus untapped indications - including GIST. 
  • Expansion in Europe is in the works, partnership in Japan is a matter of time. 
  • And there's Denner.
  • And Blackrock
  • And Fidelity.
  • And, best of all, good science. That most of all. 

Nonsense. Sense. Up. Down.

You decide, but trust facts.  And be careful. There are dangerous people out there and they are disorienting, always confident, and occasionally eloquent .  They'll have you  believing that white is black. That down is up. They will convince you that sense, that facts and science and logical conclusions, are nonsense. And ultimately,  if you listen long enough, they will fool you into believing that precious things, those you hold dear, are worthless.
