Robert,

Actually, I find it quite interesting that the CHIR CEO bought 100,000 shares in the $94.00 (presplit) range in the spring of 96.

I believe that the stock price has traded down due to analysts perception of declining earnings. Most recent earnings were from a gain on a sale. Actual per share earnings were less than expected. That sent the stock careening. Additionally, analysts were saying that Chir is now a diagnostics company not a biotech company. I feel they got that totally wrong.

I do my own research and I do not believe you should buy a biotech stock for earnings reasons. CHIR has excellent prospects for profitability in the future however. CHIR's true value is in the breadth and depth of their scientific endeavors. For a company with CHIR's market cap you will not find a better group of scientists and research program.

You cannot go wrong buying CHIR at the current price. Just hold and be patient. I have been buying and intend to continue to add to my position on weakness.
