Small caps and biotechs are doing poorly all over. GLFD's decline is similar to that of most of the other small caps I hold - nothing remarkable there. Most biotechs (ENMD is a notable exception) do not soar until they have a drug nearing the end of phase III trials. In the meantime, the only way to value a biotech is the 8x R&D example that Michael Murphy uses, which is about where GLFD is. There have been many opportunities to buy this in the 16 - 20 range over the past year, so anyone whose basis is more than that is just unlucky, but hard to claim this stock hasn't held its value as well as its peers. Definitely have to buy this with a long term perspective, but with the idea that it could pop at any time, when/if a breakthrough is announced with one of the several areas they are working on.

Is it going down further in the meantime? It could, but that's true of all of the other stocks I own, and the downside here is a lot less than some of the ones I have, IMO. Bottom line? I'd rather read the scientific reports than the analyst reports - they still tell me this company has tremendous upside, too, and I don't have to worry about how they came to that conclusion!
