considering the insiders have received more stock than salary, they probably don't have the cash to buy here.....unless, of course, they sold some in the past few months. and if they did that, well, that lawsuit is looking pretty good. rhonda

Now that it appears that Bill Clinton will survive the impeachment trials albeit by skin of his teeth, I had a thought. Why don't we get Willie to lend JT his speech writer? When the chips were down, Clinton delivered the speech of his life and that seemed to have saved the day. When JT was called upon yesterday to give his career best, he didn't quite warrant the same kudos. The president showed the other night that it isn't the message, its the manner that carries him. JT was long on message and short on manner and so far nobody has really suggested even one standing ovation. Remembering full well that I'm one of the guys who bought the stock for the "wrong reasons", I nevertheless liked the c.c. I thought that the biotech news was terrific and the financials sounded promising. I felt that he could have massaged the stockholders a little bit considering the beating that we were then and there taking. I would give the effort a B- for choreography in that the staged questions were answered by other executives who acted as though they didn't know they were coming. As for athleticism, it was hard to grade because they were only playing slow pitch softball. OSO

The grass seed industry isn't going to disappear just because JT made a strategic error. In the State of Oregon alone, it is a $340 million per year sector, one of the top agricultural crops in the state. Farmers will still plant forage crops, especially given all the marginal land that has come out of federal farm programs. Meanwhile, home ownership is at an all-time high, which is good for turf grasses. Grass also remains high priority in containing erosion in flood plains (such as the giant Yangtze flood plain). Biotechnology remains the arena that Battelle scientists voted the most likely to have a major direct impact on our lives during the first 10-15 years of the new century. The trends remain in motion, and ABTX remains a viable company for capitalizing on them if management learns from this experience, buckles down to the job of selling seed and developing seed strains, turns a profit, and maintains its distribution channels. The way the search for a partner played out is damaging to the company's reputation, but it doesn't stop it from being a viable business. ABTX can still sell seeds at a profit, develop a library of patents, and get where its headed. It's just not going to get there as quickly as the partner search led us to believe.
