Regarding your comment of hoping that a cure for AIDS is not found, if I mentioned my opinion of you with regard to that comment, I would likely be booted off SI. You give me more nausia than crixavan mixed with greasy mexican food.

I'll give all my shares of AGPH to anyone who invents a cure for aids--be it this November or whenever!

I am also very bearish on the pharmatuticals. You should put the other 85% in pharmaceuticals and retail stocks. A cure for AIDS within the next year, are we talking about some ancient oriental herbs?

Boris, a cure for AIDS will not put Agouron out of business. The premise of the company is structure-based design, which is being applied to other serious and chronic diseases. I echo others here in saying that I would contribute significant funds to developing a cure for HIV, particularly if it were easily made and could be distributed world-wide to areas where HIV is endemic, without profit to any company. In a healthy world, I will make my money back on investments in the productivity of human beings. The meaning of Viracept, and other drugs, is that more people will be alive to benefit from a curative drug or vaccine, when it is developed. I do not wish for that day to be delayed, and I do not wish for other treatments to fail. Agouron is a strong company and will be so after HIV is eradicated.
