>I could start with Bio-techs. They're hotter than Amazon.com. They just better make sure they invent a cure for baldness, and not for AIDS or Cancer. You think the world's governments will allow one company to monopolize and profit from something like that? Get real. The day cancer is cured the army trucks will roll in the front door.

The bio-tech mania really reminds of me what happened 10 years ago to the same sector. Take CRA, the insiders sold out in the mid 20s. Company is worth no more than 1 billion, to be sure. I think that they can wrap up human genome project in 2 years. After that, they are going to do the same thing to mouse, rice, etc. Are they going to make some $$ by selling sequence to the drug companies? They will. Will that help cure cancer and HIV, etc? Certainly will, but it's very likely those diseases won't be cured before the earth is totally destroyed. It's sometimes really a pity that the wall street and daytrader momos are seriously lacking basic scientific knowledge. Won't be surprised to see these issues losing 50% market cap within 6 months, and dropping another 25% in another 1-2 years. larry!
