I don't know about you, but I'm buying in size on Monday based upon one of his other posts:

For example, I have been an investor in Digene (DIGE) since it went IPO...They make diagnostic kits. The products are good. They are widely used and they are much easier to get FDA approval for than a new drug.

Such insight!

Notice that he didn't give a single relevant example -- pharma munch of biotech -- to Peter.

He claims to have visited "most" biotechs. That's one hell of a bunch of companies!

Of course a pharma lays off personnel after a pharma-pharma merger..... they're largely dead wood, useless in a real-world situation where one has to react. A pharma must keep it's own handcuffs in order to function. That doesn't mean that it wants to shop for a second pair.

I encourage everyone to read through the entire exchange, and to cross-reference the post that I just made to the Sibia thread. As long as there is such dogma out there -- even better if there are those who are relatively close to the sector who embrace it -- small cap biotechs will yield great returns for those who work hard to follow big science.

A new hit movie...... "Dead Wood Talking".
