I only understand a little of the science with this biotechs...probably enough to get in trouble, heheh. Actually, it is not too hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, but even the best science sometimes cannot overcome poor management. I own one biotech that seems not to have especially strong management, but I continue to hold it hoping the CEO knows best. The science is top notch, nobel laureates etc etc(fingers crossed).
However...I sometimes look at non-biotechs, this one I am looking at--ODIS, Object Design. The thread is quite good, it's one of few internet related stocks actually turning a profit. Here is fresh XML article on Sciam.com:
XML and the Second-Generation Web The combination of hypertext and a global Internet started a revolution. A new ingredient, XML, is poised to finish the job. sciam.com
If any of my biotech stocks are ever fully appreciated, I'll be happy to take gains and move into ODIS...and I would not be surprised if MSFT or somebody took them out. For now, I am a little timid to jump on the XML bandwagon, I was burned in what I thought was a good xml play once, but this one does seem good. Dell uses their software...see the thread if you have a chance. |
