The Celgene story kind of kills me, though I know it shouldn’t. I was heavily researching cancer treatments (specifically for breast cancer) back when they were reporting very promising early data in blood cancers. I saw multiple examples of thalidomide’s efficacy but assumed the negative story line the writers of the stories would always include would kill its chances.

I wasn’t really in a position sit back and think through the situation. I had purposely sold all stocks I owned so I could solely focus on finding promising breast cancer treatments. A crazy missed opportunity but in actually it wasn’t an opportunity for me at that point in my life.
