Yeah, well, can ValiGen expect the same productivity in 'the discovery and development of the next generation of human therapeutics' Dr. Bihain achieved at genxy? Is Goldman interested in take-out fee? Surprising, as at this rate it would only be a few million. --Wilder

<...the next generation of human therapeutics> What a frustrating game for investors--if the next generation is always more interesting. If biotech startups are only good for a few years til the next round of startups emerges, with a new set of IPOs, burn, repeat. And all that expensive great science--Genset's SNP map, rendered mostly obsolete (?) by the Wellcome trust, a protein library, nah, large scale proteomics man! etc etc So now maybe some new companies, Valigen for one--they turn up the sex appeal, and sure, they do some great science, they get their IPO, and then what. Five years from now they pull a Genset. Or the whole thing is phoney. If I have shares at $12 somebody else out there might as well get his at $6. This is cute...my little daughter is tearing up my special Nature, the Genome issue, heheh. Oh heck, I tucked enough away that she is going to any school she wants to many years from now, what is it to me if the stocks I chose to keep are stinkers. I am still the luckiest man I know, so goodnight everybody. Best wishes finding the next hot stock. It ain't easy.
