John,

Is PGNS a good buy at 12?

Historically, biotechs that have cratered have not done well, though there have certainly been exceptions like CNTO and MEDI.

The trouble here is that they now have no credibility, and it's going to be a long, hard struggle back. The coming lawsuits won't help either. If their existing US market is indeed close on saturated (not really clear yet), a lot will depend on the results of their new trials.

On the plus side, at these prices they are a clear takeover candidate; they have plenty of cash and would be clearly profitable if they weren't running new trials. I still have a very small stake left that I'm holding for now.
