Martek appears in trading range between 30 - 35. Thanks for your earlier reply of about a month ago in another discussion group. Sold my MAXBA for slight profit, and got out of Sepracor likewise. Liked the book on Vertex (Billion Dollar Molecule) so much I bought them on pullback and am showing a slight gain. Apparently Vertex (in partnership with Glaxo) actually has a superior HIV protease inhibitor than Merck, which as you probably know has gotten quite a bit of press. Vertex also has highly thought of management with blue chip backgrounds. Concerning management, do you know anything about quality and background of Martek's management? I just went thru their annual report and other than the fact that 2 of their top officiers came out of a consulting group that did work for Martek there's not a lot of other info. My question is that now that they are shifting to production mode with Formulaid, that's quite of bit of a different challenge from doing R&D.....Earlier news that Merck is renewing agreement regarding their micro algae library of organisms is good news for Martek. Ciao.
