heh, I think it is: Every bit of stock action up
until a Novartis milestone, or 609 entering the
clinic is noise. There will be a couple steps
forward, a step back--over and over again. On
balance shares will gradually work there way over
to stronger and stronger hands.

There is a presentation dated August 16th on the
SEC website. Most of it is charts of preclinical
tumor graft experiments and such--I trust that
crap about as far as I can spit. Ten years ago
I was dazzled by Targeted Genetics' presentations
with xenograft lab rats and stuff--maybe a Rick or
a Peter or one of those guys can fine a single slide
that means something to them, not me.

However, the list of venture capitalists I like,
it is a nice reminder of the quality of investors
behind Infinity:

Venture Capitalists •
Prospect Venture Partners •
Venrock Associates •
Advent Venture Partners •
HBM BioVentures •
Vulcan Ventures •
Novartis BioVentures •
Wellcome Trust •
POSCO BioVentures •
Tallwood •
Alexandria Equities •
Lotus BioScience Pharmaceutical Companies •
Amgen •
Novartis •
J&J

Now, does INFI warrant a 300M marketcap when it
starts trading? Maybe, maybe not--anything between
200M and about 500M is fair. But the VC investors
in Infinity surely expect a three to five bagger over
three to five years. I'll ride along with them.

Meanwhile some of the daytraders and swingtraders will
extract a little profit--but only from each other. The
PDUFA type traders will do good, but not necessarily
any better than a buy and hold type. The VC's will sit
back and relax. Probably some of the managment staff
will leak out a few shares to buy tuition and vacations,
but that is noise too.

That said, how nice it is that dpii is above $3!
