[08:28] {Threei} Human Genome Sciences Inc FDA Staff: Questions robustness of Benlysta efficacy findings,
[08:28] {Threei} - Various analyses of the data raise questions about the robustness of the efficacy findings that warrant discussion at the AAC meeting.
[08:29] {Threei} HGSI
[08:31] {RonS} gm all..."robustness" sounds like a truly bastard word
[08:31] {Threei} lol
[08:32] {Threei} robustradness

[08:33] {RonS} proves things can always be worse

[08:35] {Threei} FNSR Reports prelim Q2 $0.41-0.43 v $0.34e, $240-241M v $224Me ($215-230M prior)
[08:35] {Threei} - Guides Q3 R$24-262M v $232Me
[08:37] {RonS} fnsr 15.8 mil sh short...the short site started charging for % of float so don't have...
[08:37] {Threei} this data should be available somewhwre on NASDAQ site
[08:37] {Threei} and if not, ell, float is known
[08:38] {Threei} so it's just one calculator operation
[08:38] {Threei} they charge for lack of education and laziness... kudos to them
[08:38] {RonS} too lazy here...using days to cover off ave vol...3 in this instance
[08:39] {Threei} (US) US Fed's Tarullo: To soon to issue guidelines on increasing dividends; guidance to go in effect Q1 2011
[08:39] {Threei} - Guidelines on dividends to be conservative.
[08:39] {Threei} - Banks will be required to show that divident plans can meet Basel, Dodd-Frank requirements.
[08:39] {Threei} - Modification better than foreclosure for the majority of mortgages; many banks have yet to do more on foreclosure case.
[08:39] {Threei} - Crisis strengthens the point that capital is key to regulation.
[08:39] {Threei} - Most US banks should meet the Basell III requirements prior to the 2019 deadline.
[08:39] {Threei} 2019 eh
[08:39] {Threei} they are not in any particular rush
[08:40] {RonS} does anyone recognize how unreal it is that the Feds are deciding when a private company can pay dividends?
[08:41] {jfjf64} MORNIN ALL
[08:41] {RonS} dictats from The Party
[08:44] {Threei} jf :)
[08:44] {Threei} whole thing is quite unreal
[08:50] {Les} anyone awake over there?
[08:51] {nemo} we're just ignoring you
[08:51] {Les} typical
[08:51] {RonS} a world awash in socialism 3i...
[08:51] {nemo} you blame us?
[08:51] {Les} not really
[08:51] {Threei} awake Les, but questioning the rationality of it
[08:51] {Les} u thinking?
[08:51] {Threei} yes Ron... amazes me
[08:52] {Threei} seems history lessons are really useless
[08:52] {Threei} it's not just a cute phrase
[08:52] {RonS} too big to fail means nothing succeeds...
[08:52] {Les} I think its great
[08:52] {Les} validation of phrase "nothing new under the sun"
[08:53] {RonS} the perrenial hubris of man...trying to control the fates
[08:54] {Les} worse. thinking "this time its different"
[08:54] {Les} I love this expression
[08:54] {nemo} Plu cest change, plu cest le meme chose
[08:55] {Les} mais oui
[08:56] {Threei} it's even more striking in all kinds of face to face conversations
[08:56] {RonS} ...i think i should say: trying to control the fates through dominion over other men
[08:57] {Threei} when people defend all the socialistic solutions, and you try to tell them about zillion social experiments in this area,
[08:57] {Threei} in all countries and centuries
[08:57] {Les} happily there a little pockets of sanity like this room. We know otherwise
[08:57] {Threei} to hear all the arguments they come up with, it's incredible
[08:58] {Threei} "but Lenin and Stalin just were the wrong people for this" being main one
[08:58] {Threei} I say, hey, show me the single right one in all the history
[08:59] {Threei} it can't be that multiple attempts failed all for the same reason, right?
[08:59] {dino} gm agm all

[09:22] {Threei} - A rumor of an imminent 80B bailout of Ireland was denied by gov't officials but the sentiment was building that some sort of deal was perhaps in the works.
[09:22] {Threei} - The timing with the G20 and the euro group appeared to be right and the EU as well as Germany had clarified that a bailout now would still happen under the existing European Financial Stabilization Facility.
