Well if one of my stocks lights up for 50% I'll take the money and run. I'm down 3% today, about what you might expect with the Nasdaq down sharply. I don't want to say anything bad about tgen in particular--but, I have often wondered if to snag the really big one day gains, you pretty much have to gamble on stuff that is on the junkier side of things. Riskier longs turn into better shorts later, making money up and down. That said, for all we know Tgen's arthritis therapy works and they're going to get bought out for $80M. I'd have sold today, had I not sold several years ago, ha ha.
