Zeuspaul, The entire argument is a joke. Fugazi said pick one - something great or the sky will fall. I said the former (and LGND's price did rise). I guess that some think that the sky fell today (maybe it did on the credibility of someone).

If it was just one off-hand comment, I would agree with you, but there was a lot of discussion this weekend about what 'wait until Monday' meant, yet some posters revel in the speculation that is caused by the clear message that 'something great is going to happen Monday. Its all a question of credibility as there was ample time to clear up the 'confusion' -- it shouldn't have taken until Monday, should it?

The sequence of events is clear. If you follow the links, you'll see what I mean:

Speculation:
"Did ligand take the money and run or did they select a drug? Some seemed to be
confident that we'd learn of their decision this week. I guess not."

Response:
"Watch what happens on Monday!"
exchange2000.com

Clarification:
--"Watch what happens on Monday! as in something great is going to happen or
as in cover your head cuz the sky is going to fall?"
exchange2000.com
--"The former."
exchange2000.com

Denial:
"there is nothing specific on Monday for LGND that I know about."
exchange2000.com

And rebirth:
FUGAZI, Watch what happens this Monday.
exchange2000.com

And re-denial:
I don't think that anyone said that there would be a LGND press release
today.
