Oh, I don't know about that--it's going to take awhile just to get through the ibisrna website. Impossible to value the thing--up til now I've merely selected a few biotech stocks which seem to have a lot of potential--and happen to trade close to book value. I figure that makes them takeover targets, and perhaps a good value if they manage to survive on their own as well. However...this has not paid off this year--so I'm starting to expand my interests. Maybe Isis is a terrific bargain here--but there are always dips, and I don't like that it's so far from book--negative book no less. And of course the science will hold me back. If a person should understand a bit behind the companies in which he invests, then this one obviously has more to understand. Maybe it is just a bit easier to conceptualize replacement gene therapies, instead of this anti-gene approach. Maybe I surf some more through their website I'll have a better idea how they find their targets, and how they screen for the darts to hit those targets. I really should stay away from here til I've read a whole lot more.
