lotsa research premium..... on my "event risk" list. one of those that might dive, given any little breeze on margin?

george pointed at a new issue. I looked at it, and it's running on mezzanine money, not proceeds from the broken IPO. that is, the current market cap is only about 4X cash in the bank, pre-IPO. many of those among your falling knives?

Amount nvs paid for the hcv program is stunning. $75M upfront for the HBV program. $35M in HBV milestones. Not only $525M in hcv options and milestones, but from private s/h bought $255M in stock for their 54% stake and will toss them another $357M in milestones if hcv hits. Why invest in public bio's when you can get deals like that? :-)
