Re: the "real progress" on cancer, there could not be a more overstated generalization. The idea that we will someday "beat" cancer with a pill is very, very farfetched. This is my opinion. Definitely this is something to think about and be clear about if one is to invest in VAR.

A magic bullet for cancer is, like Mike says, a long ways away. The misconception of cancer to the laymen is that cancer whether it be breast, lung, colon is all the same. In reality, each separate cancer is a completely different disease, as different as diabetes and pancreatitis. What works for a type of lymphoma doesn't for esophagus.
