#11088 RE: flipper44 #11078

years ago I was smart enough to buy 1200 shares of the leading sirna(short interfering ribonucleic acid) company called alnylam for around 8 doilars a share but stupid enough to sell it right before it temporarily went to 114 dollars a share. it would have been nice to have cleared 120k especially as broke as I am but as usual I was at the airport when my ship came in. did the same thing with isis which is the leading antisence company. I sold amgen for 54 dollars a share right before it hit 126 a share. I guess warren buffet is right. don't second guess yourself. buy a stock and hold it through thick and thin. I think that works well for a platform biotech with many shots on goal but companies like imuc and nwbo are one shot ponies. if they fail then the game is over and your money is lost. a day trader once told me that day traders never touch biotechs because they are too unpredictable. he said day traders don't do drugs.

Flipper,

It is times like this that I wish my talents rested more towards the likes of Gary Larson exemplified by his Far Side Cartoons.



Finns like me and Gary are best known for our great humor but what would a mammal trying to be a fish know about fins?

Best, Terry
