I look at this contest as a way to introduce folks to your pet picks.
AXPH--McCamant gave Axys as his pick this month in Worth magazine. Axys and Genset (GENXY) were doing pharmacogenomics before a gaggle of new sexier companies stole the spotlight these past couple years. Speaking of Genset, here is a blurb to read: biospace.com
TGEN is a gene therapy stock, like Avigen AAV is their vector. But look to their E1A product for their first profits. I've owned Tgen since below $2, sold out, and tried to get back in carefully. Will probably double my position soon, but I'd like to see a little bit more of a shakeout. Maybe a failure of their Cystic Fibrosis gene therapy would make for a good entry point, not that a person should hope for that of course, but it is an exceptionally tough problem, near as I can tell, and tough odds.
KDUS, costs less than cash, the name Carl Icahn must keep people away. The deadline for Sibia (Merck) to go to the supreme court is past, not that they would bother for less than 20M. The fact that this trades for only a buck is spooky, watch your step. I own a shit load of this one.
SNAP, wild card. Another poor biotech that did not capitilize on the frenzy a year ago. But they seem to be looking in the right place, and did some work with LLY at one point, and others, so good science for sure. Plenty of crummy biotechs out there, but this one is real. Drugable targets, I understand. See their IP for fun: synapticcorp.com If Synaptic doesn't pay off, hey, just take some Prozac and call it a learning experience, heheh. As far as I can tell, there is just me into SNAP here on SI, there was a fella shorting it, and maybe one chemist here on SI still has his shares. Get yours today!
