Good Morning Henry:

Can you explain why Lgnd is trying to use Panretin & Targretin in combination with drugs such as Tamoxiflin(?spelling), Evista etc. when it appears from studies that Ligands drugs can produce the same or better results on their own. My guess is that it has to do with the high cost to develop a sales and distribution force. Can you comment..

I wonder if Ligand keeps enough of their pipeline for themselves to grow to a real huge company in the future. Lets say 20 to 100 times the current market cap.

I am somewhat disappointed that the respective pharma partner gets the majority of the earnings of the outlicenced products and indications. But of course I know that this is inevitable and many people think that Ligand still spends too much for research and development.
