Ligand will also be covered well in Monday's IBD. They weren't included in the NASDAQ summary, but a table of their impressive financials will appear under the "Up" earnings reports and the table includes a 130% increase in sales. Yesterday's 201% increase in volume captured the #70 slot in the NASDAQ Greatest % Rise in Volume table. Moreover, LGND was #7 in the 15 Most % Up In Price table (and of course they were the only Biotech).

Biotechs as a group also did well. The 2.1% gain for Medical-Biomed/Genetics group was tied for the #2 slot among the 197 industry groups. It looks like the Biotech Boom may have started 1-2 months later than usual.
