I think LGND is a good short at this level.

I agree that paptent expirations are also a factor. Most of the big pharmas have a relative small number of real blockbusters and losing patent protection on one or two can have a major impact on the bottom line. LLY's Prozac runs out in 2002 and I think another big money maker loses patent protection in 2003. I think that GLX's Zantac also runs out relatively soon.
