Patterns - review of 4th Qtr report market.

Feb 5, 1998 was the 5th day after the correction low was put in at 10 7/8 on 1-29-98. On Feb. 5, there was slight selling pressure, testing the low at 11 1/8. Then closed at 11 1/4, down 1/16 on the day.

After the close, LGND reported results. The loss was narrower than expected,

The next day, 2-6-98, LGND gapped up to 11 1/2, traded 965K shares, and closed at 12 7/8, up 1 5/8 on the day. Over the next few days amid some positive test results on Panretin and Targretin, LGND rallied to a high of 16 on 2-12-98, close at 14 1/2.

Yesterday, 5-13-98, was the 5th day after the correction low of 13 11/16 on 5-6-98. Yesterday there was some light selling, retesting the low of 13 11/16. LGND closed at 13 15/16, down 3/16 on day.

Earnings are due out after the close today. Will the pattern continue to repeat, with an ok earnings report, and an explosive rally tomorrow?

Good luck longs,
Herbert
