>> so simple, pointing to crappy biotechs << Somewhere around here, ages ago and when RNAi companies began to float, I pointed out that they were being started by those who had become wealthy selling stock, not products. The data described in today's ARWR abstract? The reduction in HBV surface antigen? So meaningless it's silly. I've never listened to conference calls, etc. But from watching twitter, one can assume that management has actually pointed to this abstract with enthusiasm?? Ugly. Meanwhile..... finance.yahoo.com

I'm not a fan or hater of Martin actually :-). I think when he was CEO he bought a mixed bag to rtrx (I've never had a position). As far as rtrx programs again I thought a mixed bag. I thought PKAN was interesting though early. I don't have the problem of him working within the system to hike the price especially if he is true to his word (which some may question) and no existing patients lose access to the treatment. What I did find hypercritical is attacking QCOR and then doing basically the same thing. Thanks for the PTC references. I didn't even realize they had a Hep-C program. Since I am on the fence with whether or not their DMD works to me the SMA program is what I find most interesting. Do you have any thoughts one way or the other on it? TIA
