Hi Mark,

Does anyone understand the current craze going on with many of the biotech companies these days?

The market is a hope meter, not a rational analysis algorithm. Speculators have moved into bio because most new players have no memory of the debacle for biotech investor in the early '90's. But they will when they retropectively try to figure out how they lost all that money in investments in the 'future'.

We are told that Mr. Market is rarely wrong, and never wrong in the long term.

A couple of thoughts. Warren Buffett says that in the short term, the market is hope meter, but in the long run it is a weighting machine.

J.M. Keynes said: "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

You must realize that CREE has been 'in play' for a long time. As such, price level of the stock has nothing whatsoever to do with underlying business realities.
