it must take time for rumors to get going... the informed investors thing was a few days ago Message 10644383 Actually, there was something in there that was interesting, I take that back about the tape not being worth listening to: McCamant likes the idea of CHIR taking out CORR. and I think this rumor has been around for several months. Of course it sounds more credible coming from Michael King, doesn't it? Oh, I saw that BBRS downgraded MAGN to LTA... gee, thanks fellas...and not a moment too soon <g> Am I whining? Sorry 'bout that.

Uninvited guest? <<<<<<<The Kirk group recently purchased 2 million Scios shares at prices from $3.63 a share to $4.84 a share. The group now holds a 5.2% stake in Scios. Federal Filings reported Kirk has indicated his interest to Scios' management regarding a joint venture, marketing arrangement and a business combination. Any potential transaction would "unlikely" result in a change of control of Scios, according to Kirk.>>>>>>>> This has been reported elsewhere. My point in posting, is it represents an example of "how it used to be done". Perhaps Kirk will go away or perhaps sell out to a real interested party. The only thing one can bet on is that each side will say nice things about the other for some time. Management will listen to him polietly even if they fear him. However unlikely this type of move on a biotech was supposed to be, it has just happened and it is unlikely that we have heard the last of it.
