Andreas,
The second part re BGEN is easier. The stock is holding up because Avonex sales continue to exceed expectations. In addition royalties from Schering are going to improve as a result of robust sales of intron A.( actually Rebif). Avonex now looks like a billion dollar drug and this should carry them through 2000. I am not a huge bull but I can understand the valuation.

On MGI yes I am challenging the group. I guess I expected better initial results in the phase IIs. Shrinking tumors in Pancreatic cancer will not save the patient. Pancreatic cancer is a systemic disease. I am surprised that that do not have a pharma partner since they do not have the resources to take the drug through phase III themselves. Not having a good reason to sell may not be good enough to keep a stock.
