In the "Why not at this price?" mode, I returned to MCDE at the close, to the tune of 7 9/16. I re-read the H&Q report from 12/2/97 where they issued a "buy" at $10+, and the 9/97 "strong buy" from Cowen at $13+. The stock is roughly 50% of its IPO in 1996, while having made significant progress in its R&D in the interim. From talking with a company rep. it was clear that they are "motivated" to move their first antibiotic into the clinic this year. He also stated that they have significant interest from large pharma in their fungal program. I don't profess to know when MCDE will rise again, however with a market cap of <$85 million, and 1/2 of that in cash, in an area with a worldwide market of $23 billion, MCDE seems worthy of consideration. I assume the risk-reward to be quite favorable at this level.
