Peter,
You are right about having a skeptic on board. Nothing like a dose of reality to keep me in line.

Wolfdog,
I apologize if I came off the wrong way on my post. IMO you have posted tastefully and your input is welcome by me.

The point I was trying to make is I don't fully understand why people post on boards of stocks where they have no investment, in be it long or short. The only reason I can see for it is to try to get answers if they are thinking about taking a position. Just my thoughts on this tough day if your a bull and good luck to all.

Other companies are beginning to patent the ICE of their own compounds, going forward. They have seen SEPR's strategy and find they can adopt it themselves. Perhaps that was what the Forbes guy was talking about.

I wonder-still, as a fairly ardent and pleased long, and mostly privately--about the value some of the ICEs will have when they are on the market. I think people are hoping that Prozac II will be a new drug. It won't. Neither is Allegra a superb Seldane, as far as I can tell. Useful, yes. I wonder how sales are doing, actually. I am eager to see what SEPR comes up with for NCEs. For a biotech, they have a really cool cash-flow plan to support their original research!

In the meantime, what I have seen of SEPR is that it is a hugely aggressive company, with scads of aggressive scientists and lawyers. Sure, I'll invest here. ('Specially since I've seen the shares go from 25 to 120 in a year and a half.) Of course Southwell sounds good when he's interviewed! How else could he be the CEO of this particular company?

thanks, Peter,

as usual you said it all.

and thanks to wolfdog for getting our juices flowing

remember, 2001--when David Southwell implied SEPR should see strong profitability--is not far off, close enough indeed for the stock to trade on those numbers.

... Your comparison to Amazon is instructive ...

For this phrasing, I nominate you for the 1999 SI Politeness Award. <g>
