<<<<<Intending no offense, this statement, as to the work of Judah Folkman,

......i understand that he is a great man. and i have read about his work. i do believe that anitangiogenesis has tremendous potential to save lives.

.......i just have no proof that the COMPANY will make anyone any money in the next year--that is the wing and a prayer.

........there are so many biotechs that i am in love with due to their sophisiticated technology and their potential to help humanity. but i also want to make money on these babies and feel that without getting closer to pII/III trials it is hard to know what the chemicals will do.

......as an example look at rezulin--great chemical, great diabetic effects and it causes liver damage--who could have known?

......are you certain that these anti-angiogenesis treatments will in fact be profitable and save lives? if so do you buy entremed? sugen? or how about anit-sense? great idea! will it make money? who the hell knows right now--that is a wing and a prayer.

.....sorry if i offended you--i have utmost respect for entremed.
