THC - (1) If I had Tax reasons to sell - I would sell. I have none. (2) If you do have a better place to put your money, e.g. something was going up 50% in a week, its logical to sell and invest in the alternative. (3) the real me is illogical and irrational. Something got lost in all this bullsht this week. I accept the ODAC numbers just like they are. I dis-accept (yeh-no such word) DEPO's cheery picking. Where does it leave us? In round numbers it leaves us: 3 to 1. Depocyt kept a small population - remember thats a negative - alive 3 times longer than a control group. Its like if you did an experiment whose end point was to make gold, and the experiment didn't make gold, but as a by-product it made dimonds, would you throw it out? Nope. DEPOCYT failed the endpoint, but there is no negating the resultant increase in length of life or slow-down of disease progression. There is no amount of bullsht anybody has in their lungs that can talk around this. Thats why in real medicine your warned - get a second opinion. I think the ODAC blew this one. Lastly, did you ever play baseball? I think the ODAC tried to steal 2nd base in the last inning with 2 outs and the FDA at bat. i.e. they took the AT BAT away from the FDA. Which is a too long way of saying, I'm going to hang. Merry Christmas! Regards, John
