Where's Pfizer? They'll have access to China's markets now too. Perhaps they need ALNY's products and developments first.

Last half hour of trading would suggest somebody got wind of an announcement being made very shortly. However, it wasn't the one they were hoping for. But that doesn't mean there isn't one coming next week. After all, next weekend is Australia Day. Remember Herman during your celebrations.

ASX trying to look like they're on their game by asking about the Make Me a Motza Archa director's options.

The response?

Oops! Don't mind me. I'm just useless. They call me a Company Secretary but I'm only here for the money until such time we back in Make Me a Motza Archa. Make me two at 2.5c.

Alphabet (GOOG) just hit $1tn, yep, trillion market cap.

Who's gonna be BLTs daddy?

Waiting for the Scheming booklet to find out.

Regards to the US - China trade deal, it was worth noting the praise Trump heaped on to his Kiwi in the White House mate, Chris Liddell. When Trump first got elected, he gave a TV interview and passed comment that the Trump win signals the end of the free market, laissez faire style of economic management.

Now we get the US - China trade deal followed by the USMCA while BLT wants to relocate itself to the US.

Make Me a Motza Archa director gets a bunch of BLT options at 20c in four years time.

Hardly inspiring. Reminds me of the old CEO who walked out on the company and left the options at the door. Way more than todays issue too. That was all I needed to know.

US - China deal needs Presidential signature only. USMCA, agreed to by Trump, in fact negotiated by Trump needs a vote in the House ( which accords with my understanding of FTAs and American law).

USMCA was done over twelve months ago. Democrats fought tooth and nail against it. It gets its vote tomorrow. The day after China makes a deal with the US.

Do you think there's a connection between the two?

In the statement below, Trump gives away how involved the US gov't is in taking care of US corporate interests. In this instance its Apple.

It goes without question PFE and ALNY will be getting similar benefits in the trade negotiations. We are yet to see a commercial outcome from it. But I suspect the day we do isn't far away now.

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Jan 14 We are helping Apple all of the time on TRADE and so many other issues, and yet they refuse to unlock phones used by killers, drug dealers and other violent criminal elements. They will have to step up to the plate and help our great Country, NOW! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

US - China trade deal a done thing. During introductions, Trump said he would be meeting with the boss of JP Morgan tomorrow. Just as the JPM healthcare conference is coming to an end.

Lets hope we have an announcement some time soon and we don't have to wait for some impeachment trial to conclude. Australia Day sounds like a good day. But usually, these things come out in Feb. after everyone is back at work and kids back at school and university. BLT's Scheming booklet is due Feb. or March.

Pfizer, whose taking of a licence to use ddRNAi was the root cause of the huge spike in BLT many years ago has now taken a very different stance with its business practices. At that time, FTA's were being signed between countries and America with healthcare terms called TRIPS. Effectively, it was gangster capitalism at its worst. The health and wellbeing of the negotiating country's populace was a leverage point and the pharma companies would extort the highest price possible for their drug. It was an abuse of power by the negotiators and the corporates against sovereign states.
Pfizer tried doing something along these lines in NZ. They couldn't get the price they wanted for their drug from the central purchasing agency, Pharmac, and responded by withholding all sponsorship of R&D in NZ as a punishment for the the crime. They even went so far as to describe NZ as one of the most hostile places in the world to do business in.
Today, it is fabulous to read that Pfizer have agreed to supply their breast cancer drug Ibrance to NZ women for free for as long as it takes Pharmac to move through the procedure of acceptance for subsidy. After which women will be able to receive their life saving drug at a subsidized rate.

Good news indeed but I am still left wondering, what other horses were traded in coming to this agreement.
