Re: Tamoxifen (On Topic, but who can tell?)

This morning, NBC news is reporting that as a result of a 6 year test, Tamoxifen has been shown to be the first agent to show proof of breast cancer prevention. We believe that LGND's Targretin is an even better prevention agent, though it has yet to complete enough testing to gain the same recognition.

Recognition is all in the stock market. Tamoxifen has a major clinical study to back up its prevention claims; Targretin does not. Furthermore, Tamoxifen is first past the prevention post. Cognitive primacy matters.

Will this news cause a drop in LGND? I don't know. Is this news supportive to LGND? No, and the "Halo Effect" be damned.



p.s. Thank goodness for the Tamoxifen news, as it prevented this thread from falling into complete irrelevance (as it is, the signal-to-noise ratio has collapsed faster than the won or ringgit). Of course, that is the true agenda of the scurrilous, and replying merely encourages their continued blathering.
