Since it's timely, I can't resist mentioning one other stock that is in the "ImClone" category.

Isis Pharmaceutical (ISIP) is rapidly approaching the long awaited results of their P3 trials on their compound ISIS 2302 for Crohn's disease. Again, great results on P2 trials and a large target group for this indication.

However, what makes Isis particularly compelling is that they are the lead company in the field of "anti-sense" technology. Their large patent position in antisense will allow them to completely dominate this field of research.

If ISIS 2302 is approved, it will be the second anti-sense drug to be marketed by Isis and will establish beyond any reasonable doubt the "proof of concept" of this technology.

The potential applications for anti-sense are vast. With approval of ISIS 2302 this could be one of the best long-term holds ever.
