I think it is nice that you put down your thoughts of your brother...I think our online investment/ trading club here on SI is starting to develop a little character when folks post their thought for the day, rather than just their stock of the day. I suppose when you lose someone it can feel like--with this much money sloshing around how can people still die of disease? But I think in my lifetime we are going to see spectacular progress: I'll bet cancer is beat back halfway in the next twenty years, and many of the neurologic disorders will have more reasonable pharma therapies. The monogenic disorders such as CF and Hemophillia will be cured in the next decade, maybe soon, and other genetic therapies will start to succeed. Tissue regeneration with stem cells may even come to pass, if our Congress doesn't muck with the research. Touching on your comment about living a "good life". Hopefully those of us who are making decent gains in this market will do something useful with the money, go back to school perhaps, help others-- I don't think that the majority of us playing these biotechs are here to get the Mercedes and Mansion-- money certainly does not buy happiness in and of itself, although I don't mind saying I'm doing a little shopping --just a couple toys if the wife will let me <g>. A Good Man-- The best man I ever knew was my Grandfather. He was a mason and a carpenter, knew the value of a dollar and worked hard most his life. His greatest joy was his family...and berry pie. One of the smart ones too. Thanks Tex, I wouldn't have thought of him this morning if you hadn't shared your thoughts.

TexasDude, im sorry to hear about your brother. Often in society th emedia world focuses on on world leaders and sports figures as almost demi-gods when most people should just look around them for the true heroes in life. These are the hard working people with strong principles and it sounds like your brother was one of them. Your post has made an impression on me. May he rest in peace and eternal happiness with god and all of his people and may god watch over you and your family in time of need . God bless you wallstreeterww
