Dear J Kniss:

Well, I don't know how Barron calculated its figures. Let's just say the number is right. For $2-3 earnings, a P/E of 10 is $20-30, a P/E of 20 is $40-60 and a P/E of 30 is $60-90. The average P/E for most of the profit-generating biotech companies is very high because the patent deos protect the monopoly for many years (I have to check the exact years) from the day the drug is marketed.

Good Day

D.Right
