Sorta nice for me to see it fall back down to
where I sold it: Had I held my shares none of
the run-up would have done anything for me.

I don't feel compelled to jump back in either--
another quarter of similar burn, pretty soon
they're down to $35M, not much to work with.

I'm a little more interested in buying back my
INFI, if there is support somewhere around $10.
However, looking a little closer at Nereus, I'd
rather own that and don't really feel like I
have to settle for infi. Some overlap which is
interesting there, maybe that had something to
do with Novartis. Of course infi already overlaps
with kosn, hard to know if they really ought to
have gone public. Maybe it is enough I got out
of my dpii and that is the end of that.

Looks like some citizen owners at infi are being
paid quite well, I saw 200k share award for the ceo,
not bad! But still no hedgehog? Quite a bonus...

The last of my three pet biotechs that I watch
is ANDS, which is off 5% today--I think it has
simply drifted up with biotechs in general these
past couple months. Again, just don't feel like
I have to be in any of these since I am bearish
on the market in general.

So, let us say the market declines through the fall
(when that decline starts...well, May is as good
a guess as anything...) --biotech certainly wont
do well in a bear market. Maybe something to be
done with trading ASCO stocks, but I'll leave that
for the experts.

Cashboy was a good alias and I'm sticking to it.

No doubt you have already seen this:
Gene Logic has dismissed Mark Gessler
washington.bizjournals.com

From the latest annual report (which I have not read)
Accumulated deficit (315,680) --That's $315M!

They'll still have something on the order of $30 or $40M
at the end of the year, but it is probably the bottom of
the ninth inning, right? I've no position--I got half of
a potentially great swing trade, so no complaints
here. But you always wonder if they have a rabbit they
can pull out of a hat. I do not think I will go back to
the well however, I haven't been in this most of the past
seven years and have been lucky.

Gene Logic also paid Gessler's personal tax-preparation
bills of $5,000 and annual country club dues of $6,440 last year.


My taxes were filed for a little under $15 this year, nice!
