Re: Hanging around the 'hood I was wondering why you actually still follow this thread if you don't have time for "funnymentals". Good question! Part of it is that you can only take about 45-65% of what I say seriously (and you may do well to disregard even that). I actually am interested in the science behind Ligand's technology, and may be even when I'm not a shareholder. I get good background on the company and the science here. Henry deserves kudos for his role in bringing a lot of value to those aspects of the thread. I also see my share of technicians, skeptics, and other rogues lotiering around here. I enjoy reading it all, even if I don't integrate it all into my work (e.g. Level II-type stuff). I like to bounce my ideas for trading LGND off of the members around here. Partly that's ego ("If you can't predict well, predict often!"), but mostly it's to help generate and discuss ideas. I am particlarly verbose today. Enough for now, I have to tend to a screaming infant. Pý
