Jim McCamant's stated reason for changing the MTSL rec on RIBI to "sell over $5" was essentially that he was unhappy with the pace of progress at the company, and that, in his opinion, there were more attractive stocks in the biotech sector where the money could be used (his change of rec occurred a few months ago when all of the biotechs were at their lows). He did not criticize RIBI's products or mention any potential bad news. In fact, he stated that he believed that the milestones that were supposed to have occurred in 1997 would probably be reached in 1998, and of course, significantly, he did not put an outright sell on the stock (which was trading under $4 at the time), but rather recommended selling over $5, obviously indicating that he thought it would appreciate again. My reading was that he was basically frustrated with the pace at which management was moving, and that he is not negative on the products.

Jim has been right many times, but he has also been wrong. I believe that RIBI can and will trade much higher. I have owned RIBI for years and will continue to hold.
