David,

>Except, it's a promising biotech.

It's really two companies rolled into one. One is a medical supplies company about to resume making money. The other is a biotech that few pay attention to. The fun part is that the present valuation is easily justified based on the medical supplies. That's what Prudential did and they were ever so conservative. So you do not pay for the biotech part at all.

>parting them from some of it would make me very happy

Did you notice the chart lately? And the trading pattern? Looks like the shorts can't find any more shares for their little short attacks.... The pattern has become a lot tighter.

And don't forget that earnings come out March 1 before the open followed by a conference call at 10:30am the same day. And then there's S.G. Cowen starting March 5.... I'd presume they have something to say. This one is metastable right now and it won't take much to push it out of what looks like a very shallow well. I really hope the shorts don't cover all that soon. I'd much rather have them chime in above $25 or so. That way they might compete with the momentum players and the day traders. Plus me of course :-)

It's my single largest holding and I intend to increase it as I can.

Read the Prudential report. It's funny.

Thanks, Torben
