Speaking of misleading posts, todays prize goes to the 'speculation' that "MMs will clear out sellers on news and then price will head north" Clearly todays LGND action on a very positive day for the market proves that speculation of what the MM's are doing is misleading since this speculation appears to be based on nothing more than high hopes. Everyone is responsible for their own decisions, however I hope no one bought LGND at todays high based on idle speculation on how the market works in regard to LGND.

I guess I have to respond since TonyTs post in question was addresed to me. Although I am not defending Tony (I'm sure that against you, he is quite capable of defending himself) it was my opinion in reading the post that he was being sarcastic in response to your numerous wrong predictions concerning Ligand drug approvals. I took the post as being TonyTs opinion as to one potential reason why approval was taking longer than anticipated. Since any number of reasons could have been delaying approval, I'm not sure why you are condemning him for throwing out a potential (although not the most likely) reason. It seems this reason was least to your liking so thats why you brought attention to it.
