<< Well, I can't believe this name calling! >>

I agree. I should've counted to ten before sending the note. I would've still sent it, but there was no need to use the name calling.

<< (Note carefully: In the press release the person's title is "Marketing and Business Development." In Henry's spin message it gets changed to "marketing and sales." >>

So you feel that "sales" is more of a hype than "Business Development"?! If Henry was going to be judged on spin, he would not get a very good mark for using "sales" instead of "Business Development".

<< You bring up an entirely different press release about a newly created position, call people dorks, criticize their reading comprehension and just rail on anyone who would dare to criticize Henry's comments about it. >>

If you will read the notes over again, you will see that I was correct on this issue. But, I admit that I overreacted and that it was poor judgement on my part to call people dorks, etc.. I hope, though, that you will permit me to save it for a later use.

I am not really annoyed with posters who post bearish comments about LGND. Not everyone is a lover of biotech stocks. It is one of the most volatile sectors of the market. I just dislike the snide remarks, and I don't think that I am alone in this regard.

I think everyone would welcome bearish, legitimate comments about LGND. For instance, tell me why you disagree with the estimate of earnings for LGND in the year 2006 of $14 per share.

Regards, Bob

Brian, Although the number of press releases has been higher than usual, lately, it is unusual for LGND to issue two press releases on the same night. I don't that this was a coincidence. The "entirely different" press release wasn't all that different and was part of the same message, which isn't that hard to understand, even if you know nothing about the stock.
