I was an original investor in Genzyme and feel quite familiar with Henri Termeer. In the early 90's he spent half the annual meeting discussing GTC and its' future in addition to showing a 20 minute video before the meeting. It has been my feeling that he would wait until the use of transgenics is approved (Atryn)before he would act on bringing GTC back into the parent company. Genzyme divested itself of GTC in order to clean up their income statement to meet earnings projections.
My feeling is analyst Phil Nadeau of Cowen stopped following GTC because he knows there will be no further financing before Genzyme decides whether to take on GTC.
Genzyme did this with Biosurgery which was a tracking stock unlike GTC.
