V1,

>>I also think that GLFD is significanly undervalued.<<

No problem w/ this or your reasons for considering adding GLFD to the portfolio, in fact I agree. My skepticism is with (1) whether this really reflects a sea change in the sector and (2) with viewing AMGN as a validation or valuation marker. AMGN is still a biotech, one that hasn't had a hit since Epo and Neupo, and one that spent handsomely for leptin and Regneron's neuroscience. I'll feel alot better when I start seeing these kinds of valuations being paid by traditional large pharmas.

<sorry for the break, I'm finishing where I left off last Monday>

I remember a couple of years ago, after the pharma giants each completed picking up their first biotech acquisitions, that the new investment was going to come from mid-size European pharmas b/c otherwise they were going to get squeezed out by the big dogs and their research machines. IMO, it never really materialized and while I see the logic driven by expiring patents, I'm waiting to hear more gunfire before I believe that big pharma is going open season on biotechs.

For what it's worth,
biowa
