<< It might be worthwhile to factor in past performance of LGND in the 1st half of '96 and '97 (spring and summer historically are not good times for biotechs -- however, past performance, is no guarantee, so '98 could be different). >>

LGND's stock rallied from $11 to $20 from March 96 thru May 96; and also rallied from $9 to $14 1/2 from May 97 thru Jun 97.

Fidelity's FBIOX "biotech" mutual fund also had a nice rally from May 97 thru July 97.

That's two years in a row, in which Ligand has rallied during the 1st half of a year. Which historical year(s) are you looking at? And, what kind of sophisticated analysis tools are you using to reach your conclusion?

Regards, Bob
