I think you ARE looking at the ZACKS number on the Yahoo screen mentioned in the previous post. Went to the Zacks site (they are giving free 1 month memberships) and found they have seven analyst ratings. 3 Strong Buy, 3 Buy, and 1 hold. Still pretty good. The Zacks page did not indicate any changes in ratings in the past week as indicated on the Yahoo screen. I called Investor Relations to see if anything was scheduled for release before XMAS. Chris indicated Formisen (sp) would be a Q1-98 announcement. He also indicated ISIP was lightly staffed heading into the holidays so publishing any data would be doubtful. He also indicated that the important scientific information was more likely to be released at a Scientific confrence than in a press release. The ISIP web site did have reports that several officers are making presentations during the next few weeks. isip.com Also in the past, it seems to me that ISIS stock start to move up in advance of big announcements. I presume this is due to information leakage. In all, any hoped for meaningful breakout may not be here this week. Good luck to all Rob J.
