Always liked your style, now you've got a great story too. Made my day.

There's an important lesson in your story, however, a sad one. The capital market at this time is leading some great therapies to the drain. The divergence between first- and third-tier biotech has gotten so extreme that a Centocor or an Agouron, with their valuable therapies, might not thrive if they had to do it today.

We now have 40 biotechs with a market cap north of $400 million, and at least 14 north of $1 billion. In contrast, innovative therapies are left wanting for funding among the third-tier, simply because analysts have not been able to differentiate good science from bad....... lambs have been led to slaughter by the "experts", and, to cover their mistakes, the experts damned the sector. Fortunately, we're beginning to emerge from this period where dogmatic bullsh*t ruled.

Baby girl.... I know first hand that there's nothing to top that. Congrats!
