At the I.I. forum Maderis said something about
Genzyme having to sell shares of Gizzmo as a result
of the whole CEGE thing--anybody understand that?
Maybe they are simply paring down to a be a minority
shareholder, might help keep the price depressed
for awhile, while I for one sort out some details,
like why buy a tracking stock if it all belongs to
Genzyme anyway?

Maderis was pretty adamant that what is under the
roof at Gizzmo belongs to the shareholders, which
is confusing to me--what I see in the Genzyme
annual report suggests that everything in all
the tracking divisions really belongs to papa Genzyme.
See the third paragraph of this post here:

I'd really like to have this clarified:

Lessee, if I swap Isis, which does not seem to
be working too well for the dead cat bounce today,
take my $700 chump change and churn on over to
Gizzmo at $5 maybe that will get me off my butt
on that: I'll write a letter to Gizzmo and Genzyme
investor relations and see if they can clarifiy,
after all, I am a shareholder <g>.

Etrade loves people like me who pull the trigger
and then ask questions, a very bad habit which I
will have to break.
