No way, let's sit tight on AVIR and see what the FDA has to say. It isn't like we get to use the loss on our taxes. I still think there was a massive overreaction and they'll work it out with the FDA. I'm in this one for the long haul and I think biotechs are on the road to recovery.

BGEN is a rocket!

Man there are some bargains out there. GSII trades at less than 70% of book value, and 75% of cash value. 40 million in cash with a 30 million market cap and products in the market. Granted they are slow to be adopted, but they are still great products. Time for someone to step up and acquire these sorts of companies. Looking to acquire any med devices any time soon?

Vector1,

Avonex sales for this quarter will be at least 102M, up from 87M in Q2. Analysts are raising the estimates and price target. I believe current avg. estimate for 1999 $2.33 are too low. they should be able to deliver at least 2.50.

As for price target, as long as drug Cos are considered safe heavens, BGEN should trade between 30 and 40 times 1999 earnings.
