Random thoughts....

CRGN/(and eg)ABGX would be a pretty nice fit. Arguing the relative valuation could be an issue. Depending on the structure of the deal, it could run into problems with shorts (cf Shire). Then there's the question of who'd run the show... and the less than auspicious example of CRXA/CLTR. The right merger would make enormous sense, but I don't expect too many to happen anytime soon.

I can't see to many ceos wanting to sell out at current valuations if they're not in cash trouble. (I certainly wouldn't be very happy if eg TELK put itself up for sale now...).

Do hostile takeovers happen much in biotech ? Might be a good time for the bigger fish to snap up some minnows - how much value is left if the employees walk though ?
