The trouble with paying $31.50 for that article is that it now has a perceived worth to the owner that is more than if he read it for free. That was a petri dish project that will take 5 to 6 years to deliver results, and at this point, isn't as valuable as you think.

Remember, even Tim C indicated indirectly at the annual investors meeting that the next molecule could turn out to be nothing at this point.

BTW, One poster from your so admired camp quoted these -

1. "In three years, if it somehow survives, it should do OK."
2. "Biotechs are event driven, period.."

He has given up ARIAD....

I'm not sure who wrote that, but he is spot on.. :^)
