Rosemary, My favorite is clearly LGND. I like them long and short term. They should present phase III data on Jan 7 at the H&Q meeting and I expect the price to skyrocket. LGND has one of the best pipelines around and its technology is top notch (they have two screening technologies - intracellular receptors for non-polypeptide hormones and analogs, and STAT technology for polypeptide hormones, such as interferons, interleukins, and growth factors). They target most major markets and have strategic alliances with PFE, GLX, AGN, ABT, AHP, SBH, and Sankyo. Long term they should be a slam dunk (Bear Stearns projects revenues above $400 million by 2001 and Robby/Stephens projects $500 million in revenues from its two lead retinoids, Targretin and Panretin (within the next 10 years). Check out their press releases. I can answer virtually any LGND question. |
