Jeeze, John, will you ever learn? <g> HGSI is neither overhyped nor is it likely to suffer a demise. Its stock will likely go up and go down, but overall it will go up significantly over the next few years. This opinion is not one you can bank, but one you can bet on with some confidence. I think HGSI might be a little ahead of itself - I sold in the low 50's - but I would buy again if it gets cheap again relative to the present state of its pipeline. In any event, if you do persist in betting against the company with options, then I hope the stock momentarily takes a big dive - you can sell your options and I can buy some shares. Good luck, H

"Well, I am happy for you. I would recommend taking the profits...who can argue with a 50% gain?" Hi John, I'm not a trader -- otherwise I would take a profit. I am in HGSI for the long-term prospects of 1-5 big discoveries. It is stated by most biotech followers that HGSI has the most valuable patent pipeline in biotech. The company also has about $1.8 billion in cash -- and no debt. I hope you are right in the short-term. I just couldn't see your rational that the TA was negative -- when it was up 50% in the past couple weeks. Let's hope it goes down short-term for your benefit, and up for my benefit in the long-term. :)
