<<It's ironic that its a disease that people want to control and have less of... but some companies have it as a growth vehicle for profits.>>

Yea -- shame on Merck and AGPH for wanting to give AIDs patients some quality of life. And shame on me for being an AGPH profiteer.

What I find potentially "ironic" is that there are people shorting the heck out of companies doing cancer research. And, by shorting those companies, those "investors" actually make it harder for the companies to do research (i.e. leveraging their stock for purposes of...say...enticing researchers or keeping them inhouse with options packages). The "irony," of course, would be if any of those "investors" actually get cancer themselves.

BTW, what disease do people want MORE of?
