<< I'm going to use that as a great contrarian indicator, and will pick up some more LGND, or LGNDW, at the next price dip, if there is one". >> tonyt, people have got to be laughing at you, like I am, for your difficulty understanding my first sentence in #reply-5279525. It shouldn't be that difficult to understand!? Why the problem, tonyt? I want you to think about it for a long time, and then tell me WHY you have a problem understanding my first sentence in that note! Why tonyt? It can't be that difficult to understand? I want you to go to that note, read it, and report back, to me, what you think my first sentence means! I will understand, if you cannot understand it, since you keep repeating the same tripe over and over again. Perhaps, a remedial reading course could improve your reading ability!? <g> Consider this like a test. I will grade you from A-E on your ability to understand that very complex sentence! <G> If you have difficulty with reading comprehension, it would explain why you can't or won't discuss the pros and cons about LGND, only the price. In the meantime, can anyone help tonyt by telling him what my first sentence means? I am badly hungover today, after having a great pool party yesterday. So, I won't be hanging around here too long today. You might not be able to understand what I am about to say, since you obviously have problems with my referenced note #reply-5279525 but here goes: <====================================================================> LGND is a risky investment. An investor could take significant losses investing in LGND, or any other biotech stock. I have decided to bet my retirement upon the success of LGND. It is my largest holding. Even though I have not been happy with the current price trend of LGND, it does not change my plans to retire, in about 3-6 years, partially, or in whole, from my LGND holdings. Again, invest at your own risk, do your own research and consider LGND a fairly risky investment. "Zooooooooooom"! The sound of this note going over tonyt's head, the same as my other note going over tonyt's head! <g> Even though I won't be around too much today, I expect you to respond to me fairly quickly, so I won't be kept waiting for an answer to my question on Monday. My time is probably worth a lot more than your time! Bob

Another question that you have refused to answer is about AMLN. We all know that you beseeched Dr. Niman to give you his advice about your AMLN stock. He then, very professionally, told you his concerns about their science. You ignored his advice, even though he has expertise in the science, and you probably lost a significant amount of money on AMLN. 1. How much did you lose? 2. How much did you have invested in AMLN? 3. What is your current position in LGND? 4. Why didn't you listen to Dr. Niman about AMLN? 5. Are you sorry that you didn't listen to Dr. Niman, after you beseeched him for advice, and you found out that he was totally correct? 6. Dr. Niman was correct about AMLN. What makes you think that he is not correct about LGND? Don't make me ask these questions again, by you continuing to not answer them. Your credibility, as far as your advice about LGND, is on the line! I'm sure that many would agree that you are misleading potential investors of LGND, if the only reason that you are anti-LGND, is because of your AMLN fiasco! I find it interesting now that you don't want to talk about AMLN (you started the topic by beseeching Dr. Niman to help you).
