Since we have several "lurkers" maybe some of you are medical professionals who have dealt with Xoma products in Phase II & III trials.....what do YOU think??? I'm sure some of you are investors, but have you seen anything which made you invest in Xoma?? What have you heard, what have you experienced?? Can anyone out there give us some first hand comments on our products.....like "Boy in our hospital we thought Neuprex was astoundingly successful, I think I will buy some of that Xoma stock"....or "Gee, why are they still testing that product, we know it is useless". Surely with all the trials some medical professionals are "talking" about our products...but what are y'all saying?

J, There are a lot of good books out there and I have not read them all. With that disclaimer (just in case the book police are lurking ;-) ): Scheinman: Why Most Investors are Mostly Wrong Most of the Time -- more of a general theme, but does a nice job of putting TA into perspective and does have some good analysis hints. Pring: TA Explained -- should be in everyone's library. If you drop into equis.com you will find Achelis's TA from A to Z on the web site. Has simple explanations of quit a few of the TA indicators. Appel & Hitschler: Stock Market Trading Systems -- eventually ends up with the system they recommend; however, the system is made of of serveral independant TA indicators and they do a fair job of explaining the role and relationship of each indicator. I have other favorites, but each only covers one type of analysis. If you decide to start combining TA with your FA then I suggest also reading up on Gann, Fibonacci, Pring's momentum theories, regression analysis, Elliot Wave, and Candlestick and Point & Figure charting. You don't have to specifically apply any of them. Keep in the back of your head that TA as a group generally measures only three things: market activity, market momentum, market breadth/strength. Hope that gives you something to work with. You can get these books from: traderspress.com elder.com equis.com and of course amazon.com I would look at all four as the first three often have specials. Trader's Press currently has a large sellection of books for sale at substantial discount.
