I have posted before that I have traded lgnd very successfully between 11/12 and 15. In fact my long term hold on it has been made possible from the trades. I was in again at 12 with a batch and am thinking about taking it out now. I have another batch that I just hold for free. by the way, i am the worlds worst trader but just look at lgnds chart.

I am one of those people, I then use the profits to establish a long term position. I bought again and will sell 80 % at 15 this year and the other 20% I will keep. I have a nice position in lgnd now and it is free. It should hit 15 sometime between now and april or may.

It may go to 10 but if history is any guide it will hit 15 or 16 twice in 1998. For you long termers, buy another lot ( smaller ) and trade it. I have one lot of lgnd ( long term ) that has been acquired almost free. Just my opinion. To: +JOHN W.

I know nothing about the biotech field but I do know that you can trade this stock. I have made 8 points on this stock this year. Considering that the stock is now at 14, then I have made 55% or so. It does not move up quickly but with patience, it can be traded, the spread is reasonable and you just have to hang in there when it starts to sink. I personally love the stock and am currently in it, I just bought during the last down draft. This stock could do this forever. Good LUck to all,esp. Henry.
