Nigel:

Sounds pretty good to me. Hopefully, the guy won't lose it again, if and when biotech hits tough times.

That possibility lies a long time off, IMO.

(very, very big smile)

Still, I will never forget the stance which spawned the original T/FIF thread. A bit arrogant, too, given that recent past and even RELATIVE performance of late. However, net-net, looks like a constructive attitude.

I agree.... yet more liquidity. Assume that a disproportionate share for Europe??

Thanks, all, for taking such good care of the sector while I was gone.

Rick
