Who’s Touting Cytodyn Now? (CYDY)

Pink sheet retail investor AIDS-turned-Cancer-turned-Coronacrap favorite Cytodyn (CYDY) has been quite the darling of the stuck-at-home newbie trader crowd lately. It seems not a day goes by without some form of stock promotion. And today, 28 April, is no exception.

Presenting an absolute howler of a puff piece on Seeking Alpha, entitled “Finding The Kink In COVID-19’s Armor – Preventing ARDS” by one Theodore Zucconi.

Here’s his bio on Seeking Alpha:

Ted’s piece this morning hypes up not just Cytodyn (CYDY), but also Galectin (GALT), and Ampio (AMPE) of all things. He’s written a few other times hyping CYDY as well.  Remember the 13 shots on goal laugher? “CytoDyn’s 13 Shots On Goal De-Risk Investment

Here is his disclosure statement on today’s article:

Ignore the fact that he is long, focus on the last sentence, and keep it in mind, dear reader, as you continue.

  1. I don’t own any CYDY, but isn’t there a chance that their drug works? Also, technically his disclosure is accurate.

    [Could it work? Incredibly amazingly unlikely, just read the NEJM letter from the other day for yourself. As to the disclosure, in the opinion of everyone here at BuyersStrike! HQ, it seems a bit light. A former CEO and Board Member not disclosing his relationship? One that only ended around 2 years ago? – Editor]
