Jeff,

The LIPO news should have come to no surprise to people who follow the stock. I think it was overdone. This news was already built into the price. At $10 I would think it was a good deal; at $11 I'd want to see some more gain.

LIPO does have other drugs in the marketplace. They are a profitable company with what most people believe is a valuable technology, even if this EVACET drug never flies. There is a pretty steady rumbling about someone buying them out if the stock does not rebound soon, but who knows about these things.

I am far from an expert on biotechs, but given the renewed interest in the sector, and the profitability of this company, it seems a lot less risky than many. I am still long LIPO with some FEB calls written at 12_1/2 and 15. Looks like I'll get to write another round of calls in a couple of weeks. Eventually, I'll break even on this one. <g>
