Unless you're new here, you know about priority review vouchers (PRV). Designed by Duke University economists as a means of encouraging the development of drugs for unaddressed tropical diseases, PRVs were made law in 2007. Essentially, they are transferable go-to-the-front-of-the-regulatory-line “chits” awarded to companies that develop approved drugs for these orphan diseases. Estimates of the financial value of these chits range from $200 million to well over a half billion.

Someday, I'm going to take a week off. I wanted it to be this week, because I've reacted to a corticosteroid given to me after my eye surgeries, requiring draining of excess fluid -- sometimes twice a day. But this isn't the week for a vacation. Not only is next month's issue nearing completion, thanks mostly to my colleague Ray Blanco, but I also find it necessary to deal again with the ongoing short attack on Star Scientific The reason that I feel compelled is that two friends of mine sent me messages saying they had lost money on Star, despite the fact that neither had sold shares. This came after I had explained the incredible science behind Star's platform in two previous alerts, so I'm going to go over the basics of transformational investing once again.

It's that time of month again, which means that my editorial staff is once again undoubtedly complaining that I'm late with this month's issue. So I had planned to write a short note updating Protext Mobility Inc. and then call it quits. I'll talk about Protext first, but events require that I talk at least a little about remarkable new developments from BioTime.

Star Starts Enrolling for AD Study and More on NanoViricides’ Huge Oral News

In my last alert, I promised an update on the NanoViricides (OTCBB: NNVC) announcement regarding the oral form of their influenza drug. I was going to send it out last week, but it appears that Hurricane Isaac is going to be in my neighborhood by the first of next week. So I've asked my colleague Jessica Comitto to delay this. At the time of writing, however, the weather is beautiful here in southern Florida. On my second computer screen, however, I've got Weather Underground's Isaac page open. The television in my office is tuned to The Weather Channel. I've never become jaded by the technological wonder of the Web, by the way. Being able to plan and prepare for an approaching hurricane with access to real-time radar and computer projections is of incalculable value.
