To all: I think this stock is worth a position now. Fundamentally it is among the cheapest in the Amex Biotech Index [see comparison below] and the recent quarter release was quite positive showing promising growth in a wide range of products. Technically there is a consistent support line at 38 for the last 8 trading days. Also, the stock is trading well below its 200 DMA which in the last year only happenned back in September when it seemed the world was going to end. Net flows are quite strong today and hopefully should continue as such. Here is how GENZ compared to other member of the Amex Biotech Index:
Price/Book: GENZ 2.7X vs BGEN 10.5X, AMGN 13.9X, IMNX 32.5X, CNTO 6x
99 P/E: GENZ 21.5X vs BGEN 39.5X, AMGN 37.7X, IMNX 181.8X, CNTO 55.7X
Price/Sales: GENZ 4.5X, BGEN 12.5X, AMGN 12.5X, IMNX 28.9X, CNTO 7.6X

I think these numbers speak for themselves. I was intrigued by the insider sales but frankly it happens and most concerns on this issue do appear to be reflected already in the stock price.
