Robert, "Ed. I hang on cause I know it works naturally. Literally. BPI could be bigger than one can imagine" Maybe, you could share your reason for optimism. I know bpi works in the test tube, but thus far evidence of in-vivo efficacy is ambiguous at best. If the effect of bpi on bacteria was zowie, we'd have seen it by now. Personally, I think it's reasonable to surmise that the body mechanisms that govern the production and antibacterial effect of bpi are far more complex than merely injecting the glop into one's veins. As for the theoretical potential of bpi, I've never doubted it. Certainly, there will always be a ready market for any medication that can tackle the problems of bacterial meningitis and sepsis which bpi has failed to do. Ed

Maybe alive wrong !!!, "fair value" is dead right, the tech-internet-telecom bubbles were not enough for you !!!, then just look at the last biotech bubble that sent the celeras and milleniums of the street way up to later miserably crash small investors. Just look at your xoma, the reports about former xanelin sent the stock to $18, NOW with Raptiva, with full THREE phase IIIs completed, TWO phase IIIs well advanced and a decent phase II in another indication on the way (bpi wrohn's phase II is the indecent type) AND at the FDA DOORS with a BLA xoma is barely $3.99 !!! You are dismissing that xoma has now 70 MILLIONS shares, and nicely on the way to 100 MILLIONS shares !!! DEAD RIGHT !!! Just waiting for the 1st Raptiva $billion !!!
