Chuckle.

Two good things are happening.

1. Most of the companies that reached ridiculous valuations are back-filling with gobs of offering-derived cash.

This helps to validate this new level of liquidity. While net valuations may be 10-15X, underlying capital is often now 10-20% of such.

2. Given these new, sustainable levels of capitalization and liquidity (not at the 10-15X, IMO, but up substantially), strong "older" companies are going off like popcorn.

Absolute heaven for the biotech investor.

Patience outs.
It is delicioulsy disorienting to remember the discussion less than a year ago when such luminaries as CBST, MEDX, NBIX, HYSQ, RZYM, etc., et al, ALL sold for $<4/sh; when posters dreamed of 10 baggers; when inspired analysts predicted the demise of micro-biotechs.
