Would be curious why, after saying you like the company and having met three times with execs, you don't own RGEN... Thanks for your comments. Long 5,000 shares today at 2 1/4.

Hi: <I feel that they are rowing against a tough current, but.....> Do you feel differently based upon the news release. I sold my position today, but would like to buy back in on a pullback. What I like is the steady insider buying. Any thoughts? Vip

If their stragtegy (as I understand it) is to identify and produce synthetic drugs for antiangeogenesis and now autism, fund research and development from sales of their blood serum (or replacement), then sign up a big sponsor for future development funds, I think they are very close. I don't quite understand the new autism status - they want to determine the best dosage. That would normally come after Phase I which is to test safety and then get FDA approval for Phase II. I understand that the pig version of the drug has been used a lot, and must have received FDA approval, so I assume their angel is to produce a synthetic version for less cost, faster production, and more availability of product. But I would think their synthetic version would start from Phase I. Any ideas or insight? I own the stock, so I really hope for fast movement.
