<Any thoughts on where the stock is headed?>
I'd thought that it would not go below the price paid in that private offering, $14 or $15 I think. So, while I was happy to buy my shares back in the 13-18 range (I'd sold in the lower to mid $20s) I am surprised Tgen shares have come this low. A bit of a shakeout perhaps? MM's shaking daytraders for loose change?
I think the downside risk is small, upside is decent --some good news for the market sneaks out of ASCO (or AACR?) meeting, and maybe you go back to the old highs in short order. I'd thought that there were phase II Cystic Fibrosis trials that were being enrolled this year, whole lung, not the sinus --with phase I... "data from the trial will be presented in a scientific forum in 2000."
Naturally one hopes that you do a private offering and then reward your new investors with positive news flow. I have no idea at all whether good news might be the E1A for cancer, or CF gene therapy, or something that comes out of the blue.
Short answer, biotech sector finds a base, then up again for Tgen. Nasdaq is down ten percent, so if that is considered a correction, things sometimes race back awfully fast. Its all trading and momentum in this market.

Don't know for sure if E1A data is presented at one of these, saw ASCO on the Yahoo thread, maybe so. |
