Bill G.:

If you're going to do this "popup" jazz, try popping up when Tommy talks about ^BTK from the NAZ wall. Teach him what ^BTK is, that it's an average of mostly OPERATIONAL companies, not research boutiques. These companies produce DRUGS, and are therefore relatively recession-strong. The index does NOT represent the biotech sector as a whole; the biotech bubble has ALREADY popped.

CNBC's commentary on the sector is beginning to tick biotech champions off, big-time. BFD, you say? Look for CRIS (Stryker) and Centocor (JNJ) news from yesterday. While Tommy is misrepresenting the ^BTK, biotech garnered two positive results from regulatory agencies. The sector is hot, even if CNBC is lending their ear to those who would misrepresent its current status.

Stop misrepresenting the relative strength of the biotech sector. Start to understand that the sector was "charged" last year, and that the pipelines address recession-resistant markets.

Thanks in advance.
