Re: Hmmm, Red Herring for Thanksgiving? >> It does raise questions about their motives. As does an inordinate number of posts in a thread where the poster indicates no financial interest.<< I agree with you on that point! No one on this thread has disclosed their financial interest in LGND. But you are among those people! And long, whether 1% of portfolio or 50%, is something I can fathom. I can't understand your motives, which is how this whole line of messages started! Pý

<<I agree with you on that point! No one on this thread has disclosed their financial interest in LGND. Many have said that they are 'long on LGND', but what does that mean? (My nephew is 'long on CPQ' with 100 shares!). Many have said that LGND is a significant portion of their portfolio, but again, what does that mean? That 100 shares of CPQ is a significant portion of my nephews portfolio. And without the possibility of vefification this is all meaningless as anyone can say they have $500k in LGND.>> Tonyt I have 1,812 shares of LGND, 209 shares of CCI and options on 500 shares of CCI. I cannot touch my CCI shares for another 12 months, thus I'm considering myself 100% LGND. In fact my LGND holdings is barely more valuable than your nephew's holdings. So what ? That still makes me very interested in LGND's performance. You're right in saying that verification is meaningless, so if you want to check I'll forward you my account statements as well. Now that I've disclosed my interest, would you care to disclose yours as well ? I promise that I will believe you, if you say you own (or plan to own when LGND hits 10) not $500K worth but all the outstanding LGND shares, less my 1,812. If you want to reply only to me (which I doubt, as I believe that you're only talk talk talk) you can access my e-mail address on my SI profile. This is not a personal attack, but if anybody should complain about people who say they're long on LGND but do not disclose their true interest (I know, I know, what good is it, if it can not be verified), you are the last person that should do it as you don't even provide your e-mail address. (Well, this one can easily be verified if you provide one.) Good luck in LGND, whether you're long, short or whatever. Alper
