I never buy small bio techs on earnings (like clda and ZIOP) I buy them on the potential of being purchased by a whale Their costs related to R & D etc are to be expected They now have enough to carry them well into 2012. They have a lot of good stuff in the pipeline. Good enough that they can get partnered with big Pharmas or better yet , Bought out ! They are losing far less per share in 2010 than in 2009. If it dips early I will buy. I doubt it will take long to run back up. That is if it dips at all.
It is likely that the lower price recently already factored in the news.
