Response to "dead money" reference. This is a common pattern in developmental stage companies. People get ahead of the game when expectations run high, followed by a return to earth, long basing...
When the company actually starts to make it, the market is slow to respond. Three other biotechs I own, TRIBY, VICL and ISIP are still way off their Spring 96 highs. The sector as a whole is not dong well.

The big question now is will these companies continue to be "dead money", and if not, how far out is that. I think there are a lot of lurkers ready to pull the trigger when the companies get closer to profitibility, and they see a coresponding turn in the trend.
I'm betting pretty soon, but then I could be CNS impaired too.
IMSCO, Scott
