my end of year synopsis of TGEN

Every six months or so I look at my stocks and try a quick explanation of the company and my position. It helps me remember why I hold the stock, reminds me what I want to do with it, and lets me check back for changes. I encourage folks to comment and show me other points of view.

TGEN (market cap $0.127B) might be able to tackle arthritis, AIDS, Cystic Fibrosis and have a ton of cash, but they also have difficulties to overcome. The intellectual property picture is not clear enough with their arthritis treatment. The AIDS work is a vaccine that is only just beginning. It is targeted for non-profits first and therefore has a lot longer to go before it gets to revenue. The CF treatment looks good but it is a small market. If TGEN succeeds at any one of these the stock will rise rapidly. I like the management and will HOLD as they work their way through this, but I wouldn't recommend buying until they've gotten closer to crossing a hurdle or two. There is no reason to sell at such low prices besides for tax loses. At this price it doesn't take much to buy.

DISCLAIMER : Not a biotech professional. LTBH since early 2000.
