My guess is that it is a combination of the biotech rally we've seen in the bigger issues and short covering, as in AGPH and IMNR today. CNTO, like AGPH, has always been a favorite of the shorts, both somewhat unjustifiably in my opinion.

I continue to hold my smallish long position, mostly because I believe the ReoPro/Retavase combination is going to prove a winner.

To all:
bought a lot of Centocor at 37. Will hold after comments of robust Reopro sales, good potential for Remicade and especially pipeline monoclonal antibodies to Interleukin 6 and 12.
I think Remicade will be good for rheumatoid arthritis. Saw an article done in England with very good data.
