OSIP well in the green right off--although balanced out by an equally large red number in you-know-what, heheh--yeah it'll do okay, thanks for the nod Rick. You know, I can't even say for sure what all led up to those stocks being on the list--one forgets how you get to your destination when you're really just exploring along the route. I would not be surprised if it was mainly the Aris Persidis in Nature Biotech from November of last year that set me on this, er, pathway. Of course I'd feel alot better now if I'd gone with Sugen somewhere along the line, and Vertex should have made it in there, but somehow got skipped. Ariad has a been a big pain in my backside--quote now is ~84x88 cents, and that means that the series C guys will get more even more shares this month, I could just puke. Of course it does not help that BBRS has had a buy out the whole time...and I don't see anybody doing any buying, except me of course. Actually, what seems to happen is the MM will walk it down on low volume, and then a big batch will change hands at the new lower price. What a scam. Of course you don't know if it's a deal a couple of fund managers have worked out ahead of time to swap stuff super cheap, or whether it's the same block of shares going around the MM circuit. Who can say, but it sucks. But now I'm maxed out--and by buying too much ARIA too soon I've managed to nuke all my gains for the year... yup, for the second time this year (the other time being post-Magainin) I'm right back where I started--a big ZERO for my gain on the year. Rant rant rant. I like to put something nice at the end of my long posts, just for those kind enough to slog through all my bickering. If you folks have not already seen it, here is a freebie online genomics journal: physiolgenomics.physiology.org I had trouble opening some of the links...for instance, I had to right click on some urls and open a new browser-- you may have to do that to get at "Functional genomics: technological challenges and opportunities". Or go here: physiolgenomics.physiology.org --A good one for biotech newbies especially.
