<< Brian, I take it you are new to Biotech investing. If you wait for a profit in Bio's you've waited to long. >> So you are saying that biotech investing is different from regular investing. That it is highly speculative. This is what I am saying. The idea of putting money in LGND as a long term investment is a bad idea. Most of the companies do nothing for a long time. Very risky. Better to identify companies that have strong earnings growth and other characteristics. These are the companies, factually speaking, that are most likely to actually break out and produce great gains for an investor over a period of years. LGND could be OK for people who like to play short term moves in a range, but is a bad investment choice for a long term investment. P.S. I come to SI for investment discussion and hearing different points of view. Not personal attacks, flames and slams. I did not appreciate you opening your message to me with a condescending remark, "I take it you are new to biotech investing." Let's keep our discussions on a high ground please. Thank you.
