hoffy, You don't have a clue as to what you're talking about. Get your "short" hands on today's Investor's Business Daily and read its excellent write-up starting from Page 1. Some of IBD's principal points are: -- Geron has secured over $44 million in research funding from Pharmacia & Upjohn, Roche Holdings, and Kyowa Hakko. -- In 1997, GERN lost $9.6 million or 93 cents a share. For the first six months of this year, it lost 39 cents. -- CEO Ron Eastman hopes to secure more partnerships, which he says could turn the company profitable. Geron has already demonstrated that it can form partnerships. -- "This is a very big deal" said Lana Skirboll, director of the Office of Science Policy at the National Institutes of Health. "The potential of this research is remarkable." This stock's upside is far greater than the downside risk IMHO. Sure you can trade it day-to-day, but most common sense investors will be in this one for the long haul to realize the largest returns. Good luck, Allan
