CALPERS "CORE" BIOTECH INVESTMENT: 500 million

Unfortunately $500 million doesn't go as far is it once did. The recent $200 million VRTX convertible alone would take 40%, not to mention the HGSI $1 billion shelf offering.

To my mind, the spate of follow-on offerings, while quite logical from the companys' viewpoints, is acting as a significant cap on further price appreciation across the sector.

One key question is the mysterious Acqua Wellington. They must have put about a billion into second/upper third tier biotechs over the last year, and I'd dearly love to know if they are long term investors or if they're going to be selling anytime soon.
