The Jones take on "some" SRNE and INO, and a few sayings I use here.

 

Stock Talk

Today, there is an FDA update on the Phase 1 clinical study trial on Sorrento's single dose of STI-1499 in hospitalized patients with moderate Covid 19.
 
 
I will leave it up to the interested reader to think what just a few speculative shares in the 10's would be if the study results in patient recovery faster than normal and/or prevents them from progressing and death. This is a speculative notion and I use my favorite word "some" with caution and some optimism - cautious optimism. 

Caveats do not need to be said, however I will repeat.  not "too much" and we already know here- " something always happens".

All the above said,  "If the If's happen - "some may be enough."

From the Sorrento website: 

COVID-19 Treatment: COVI-GUARD (Neutralizing Antibody – STI 1499)

Sorrento is developing a Neutralizing Antibody which binds to S1 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein. COVI-GUARD Fc region is engineered to eliminate interactions with host Fc receptors, thereby potentially decreasing risk of Antibody Dependent Enhancement of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

 Inovio Update:
 
Meanwhile, the market waits to see how things go with Inovio's progress in answering questions on the device called Cellectra to administer their DNA vaccine INO4800.

I am in "some" of both SRNE and INO  after trimming a few shares of INO on that severely  disappointing whipsaw from the FDA hold on the very day we were led by the overly confident CEO to expect a Phase 2/3 start.  As far as C19 vaccines go, I still believe that Inovio's INO 4800 has the potential to be the safest and most effective and practical-  to provide protection against C19 and the new variant.
