DCB--heheh, why not--free money. But I'd be willing to part with my lousy thousand shares if somebody could make a really good case against owning it at $5. I am not neccessarily recommending it for purchase by the model portfolio--I just don't think it is a good short--it's just the sort of thing that could come along and bite you with a breakthrough in a few months after they've done their layoffs and tried to look miserable for a few months while insiders accumulate. {PB: If I knew what the next Microsoft was going to be I would not be toughing it out in biotech:-)} Granted, if I average the gain I've scored for my wife this year, and my gain, it is only 66%, not even keeping up with the Nasdaq I think --and not even close to keeping up with the biogurus, so I'll defer to you fellas on this. I mainly just wanted to speak up against the shorting idea, just looks crummy, betting against success. Yeah, maybe I should wait for all the post crash votes to come in on Isis, but in the meantime, let's see if we DCB back to $8...and then maybe I'll reevaluate.
