Dendreon

Last Analyst Conference Call: May 8, 2014 @ 6:00 AM Pacific Time

Note: I closed out my Dendreon (DNDN) position on August 12, 2014. While I might write a summation article, I will no longer be following the company closely. Dendreon released a 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 without bothering with a press release or analyst conference. While Provenge sales in the quarter were good, and expenses were lower, resulting in the best quarter ever, no one has a plan for dealing with the debt due in 2016. Sad, because Provenge, as the first successful immunological therapy for cancer, was a medical breakthrough. But it did not play out well in the commercial marketplace.
