"Could there be something there, after all, or is this just another come-on?"

It is not often that the CEO doubles up his position in a company if there is nothing positive in the pipeline. I wrote about this insider buy here:
shares-stocks.suite101.com

said "Ding" and disclosed I bought 1,000 shares on the news.

I have been in AGEN since 2004 at 11.60. I have been in and out since then, but after over 5 years of frustation and beating myself up, I've decided to go all in. The latest news is what I have expected of this stock since 2004. Peoples lives are at stake here. Helping sick people, without hope, and making money at the same time is not bad.

As you can see from my older posts, I was also into AGEN until their RCC results caused the bottom to fall out of their pps. I'm still unclear whether there's anything to their science, but I think that if DNDN has anything of value with THEIR approach, then AGEN should also have value. I havnen't gotten back in yet as you have, but I'm looking at it. Hope you make a million!

Yes this has definitely been frustating, but I think we are very close to getting some fantastic results. Check out the Yahoo board. GBWU

Good Phase 2 results.

AGEN Agenus Positive Phase 3 Brain Cancer Vaccine

From Business Wire press release:
LEXINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Agenus Inc. 2 hours ago

Agenus Inc. ( AGEN), a biotechnology company developing novel immune system activating treatments for cancers and infectious diseases, today announced results published from a Phase 2 study demonstrated that more than 90% of the patients treated with Prophage Series G-200 were alive at six months after surgery and 30% were alive at twelve months. Additionally, the median overall survival was approximately eleven months. This compares favorably to the expected median survival for recurrent Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients of three to nine months1-7. The primary objective of this multi-center, single arm Phase 2 trial was to assess the survival rate at six months.

The data was published in a manuscript in Neuro-Oncology, the official journal of the Society of Neuro-Oncology. GBM is the most common and most aggressive form of primary brain cancer. Despite approved therapy patients with GBM face a poor prognosis. Prophage Series vaccines are currently being studied in both newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM.

=====================================================================

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Before the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Release No. 71561 / February 18, 2014

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING

File No. 3-15753

In the Matter of

MICHAEL GORDON,

Respondent.

ORDER INSTITUTING

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS

PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b) OF THE

AND NOTICE OF HEARING

I.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) deems it appropriate and in the

Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) against Michael Gordon

(“Respondent” or “Gordon”).

II.

After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that:

A. RESPONDENT

1. From October 2000 to February 2007, Gordon was a registered

representative associated with Joseph Stevens & Co., Inc., which, at the time of his association, was

a broker-dealer registered with the Commission. Joseph Stevens & Co. ceased to be registered with

the Commission as of August 2008. Gordon, age 40, is a resident of New Jersey.

B. RESPONDENT’S CRIMINAL CONVICTION

1. On April 21, 2009, before the New York Supreme Court in People v.

Michael Gordon, Case No. 1784-2009, Gordon pleaded guilty to one felony count of attempted

enterprise corruption in violation of New York Penal Law § 110-460.20 and one count of grand

larceny in the third degree in violation of New York Penal Law § 155.35. On May 4, 2012, Gordon

2

was sentenced in that proceeding to five years of probation and ordered to pay $46,799 in

restitution.

2. The attempted enterprise corruption count to which Gordon pleaded arose

out of the conduct of a broker-dealer and alleged, among other things, that between March 2001 and

May 2005, Gordon participated in a scheme at Joseph Stevens & Co. to artificially raise, maintain,

and manipulate the prices of certain stocks and to induce customers to buy and sell those stocks in

order to receive illegally inflated profits which were shared between principals and registered

representatives. The scheme involved the securities of various companies, including Cypress

Bioscience, Inc. and Antigenics, Inc. The grand larceny count to which Gordon pleaded guilty

alleged that between March 2001 and May 2005, Gordon stole more than three thousand dollars

from an individual.

III.

In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems it

necessary and appropriate in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be instituted

to determine:

A. Whether the allegations set forth in Section II hereof are true and, in connection

therewith, to afford Respondent an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations; and

B. What, if any, remedial action is appropriate in the public interest against

Respondent pursuant to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act.

IV.

IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on the questions

set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and place to be fixed, and before an

Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 110 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.110.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent shall file an Answer to the allegations

contained in this Order within twenty (20) days after service of this Order, as provided by Rule 220

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.220.

If Respondent fails to file the directed answer, or fails to appear at a hearing after being

duly notified, the Respondent may be deemed in default and the proceedings may be determined

against him upon consideration of this Order, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true as

provided by Rules 155(a), 220(f), 221(f), and 310 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice,

17 C.F.R. §§ 201.155(a), 201.220(f), 201.221(f), and 201.310.

This Order shall be served forthwith upon Respondent personally or by certified mail.
