TexasDude,

My instinct is that LGND isn't a prime candidate right now. (If that isn't enough to produce the "X acquires LGND" headline in the next few days, I don't know what is <G>).

First, LGND has a complex web of partners. This doesn't make a takeover impossible, but it certainly makes it more awkward.

Second, LGND is complicated to understand and big enough so nobody is going to casually buy them without a very thorough understanding of what they have to offer.

Finally, LGND would get a much better price if they wait until they are profitable, which (if you can believe them, which I'm not sure I do) is just around the next fiscal year corner.

LGND has always seemed to have more IP than resources, so a takeover would ultimately be a win-win. I just don't think the time and circumstances are right yet.
