<LGND has a very broad anti-angiogenesis program that targets MMPI's among other things (also selectins). The goal is to cut off blood supply and inhibit formation of new blood vessels by blocking MMPs (matrix metalloproteins)>

Lgnd, as always, is stated to have very broad programs against this diesease and that disease but the stock price never moves up. Here is a prime example that the street has absolutely no confidence in LGND. Lgnd puts out mice model data on breast cancer and the stock doesn't move. Entremed puts out mice model data and they shoot from 12 to 80. Many comments on the financial news programs state cancer related stocks are getting a boost from the Entremed news, but as ussual Lgnd is unchanged. Not good in my opinion for a company whose main thrust is supposed to be cancer. Also saw the CEO from Entremd being interviewed by Joe Kernan. Why isn't Robinson out trying similar tactics to try to earn his huge salary?
