What's not to like--I'd like to think that if I have to deal with an oncologist years from now, she will be able to put together an antigen cocktail just for me... that seems to be the direction Gizzmo is heading with their vaccines...but I will check my notes again too--it is a bit of a jumbled mess in my head tonight, too eager to post perhaps.
But getting back to the keynote speaker-- Lee Hartwell of the Hutch: You are best off preventing cancer, let's all say that ten times. I replayed that in my head with each new presentation and I'm certainly not going to raid the family nest egg to go chasing cancer cure stocks--oh I've got some mad money in there, you know the symbols, and you can be sure I've bookmarked this thread once again, but I probably wont be making any trades off this II forum on Monday.
Just saw JB's message--I don't have an answer yet except for this snip from the annual report. Genzyme continues to hold title to all of the assets and is responsible for all of the liabilities allocated to each of its divisions. Holders of each series of Genzyme common stock have no specific claim against the assets attributed for financial statement presentation purposes to the division whose performance is associated with the series of stock they hold. --I'd have run that quote by Gail Maderis if I could have found it, buried under all my notes stolen from Rick's contributions to this thread, but couldn't find it at the time. Gail was very clear that she feels what is GZMO's does belong to GZMO shareholders, well who is that, time to check the law on these tracking stocks, it is not clear to me how GENZ is going to divest itself of their shares...and the quote above...well I'm stumped.
Now, could the stock spike up because of the presentation, yeah, a good chance. It really was one of the best and the President of GMO really should inspire confidence for shareholders...a great speaker, probably an extremely smart person, just terrific.
