I had a lot of SUGN (for me), which I more or less regretfully parted with, and a small amount of SIBI ... Somehow, I have a feeling that this isn't the last time this month either!

Hope so! Sure did take long enough to get rolling. This is a strange one. The VGCC/pain program is worth the MRK bucks alone, and I'm certain that it's the MRK focus.

Sure, but did he have Alza too?
No Alza - if nothing else there was that SEPR analyst that told everyone to sell SEPR and buy AZA. <g>
I've also had a few entrants (fortunately mostly in even smaller amounts) in the "Greatest biotech debacles of the Millennium club." <g>
I take this "bundle" business seriously with that chunk of my portfolio that is not one of my few big bets.

What is all the talk about taxes-- you fellas don't trade in an IRA?
You know, that gain today really saved my butt. One or two more hits, and I was going to convert the portfolio to cash, just so I could walk away with what I started this year. Needed a little breathing room, came just in time. Sorry to see it go so cheap, when it was supposed to have had that ten bagger potential...but survival is acceptable. 55% gains in the six months I've held it, acceptable.
Thanks Rick...and much thanks to everybody else on this thread. What are your favorite neuros kids? I'm holding NBIX--what else is cheap right now? (mainly just chatting it up--I'm not really shopping--I have quite enough of these small biotechs without adding another to worry about...) |

Isn't anyone at all disappointed by this ? Another promising small cap gets bought for a (relatively) miserly premium. One day, someone will make a fortune out of all the science developed by the better of the small biotechs, but it looks as though it won't be those smart enough - like you guys - to have gambled on it early.
It seems to me that the major 'ethical' drug companies are the ultimate insiders in this market. How much upside can there be on the third tier if they get taken out every time they look like getting somewhere ?
Still, the BTRN price action gives me a little hope (thanks Rick).

nig,
Sure I am a little disappointed. However, given that they just had some shaky trial results, one can't whine too much.

Plenty of upside if they can bring a drug or two to market. Looked at AMGN's market cap recently? <g>
Alternatively, if the pharmas go into a feeding frenzy, then prices and premiums will rise.

I was at first [for about 1 hour], but no longer... I've been sniffing around new opportunities and you know what... there are LOTS. Thanks Rick [again] and everyone.
Investing my new found dough into CLTR,CGPI,GLIA... and we've got the INCY court date coming up! Courthouse lotto anyone?
