> my point is this, you haven;t contributed much in the way of real information > to this thread. Well, depends on what you want to hear. I watch the activity of many stocks, LGND is one of them. Awhile back, when I noticed a lot of big blocks going off at the bid, I shared that information with this thread. I didn't tell anyone to sell, or buy, I just passed the information along. That information was met with quite a bit of resistence, and I was accused (as you are now) of having a 'grudge'. It was obvious to me that someone was selling big-time, however few here wanted to hear that. Do you recall those posts? > do you have a position in lgnd? Although it is none of your business, and although you will dismiss what I have to tell you as a 'lie', the answer is that I trade LGND and LGND puts and calls, (as well as many other stocks). LGND is a stock that can make you rich now, not 5 years from now. My only regret yesterday is that it didn't hold $16 long enough for me to but Mar puts. Just watch the tape (and try not to get emotionally attached to any stock).

bob, I'm not sure that you will get much of a response. Some posters think that just about anything can be said on the thread and there is no accountability. One posted an imaginary short position which changed a couple of times between the initial post and the expiration of the 15 min editing time. A similar tactic has been tried again fairly recently. Sometimes it seems as if they put up misinformation, its all right, because it then dimishes the credibility of the entire thread. Speaking of imaginary, some have no E-Mail address and rely on the anonymity to put up just about anything, since they don't believe most of what is posted and are surprised when others take their post seriously (actually, I somewhat surprised also). They even tend to accuse others of writing to the webmistress or do their own writing in a pre-emptive strike. Good luck. But this ground has been covered several times in the past, without much relief.
