I agree we are undervalued but I would think today's news must be part of the reason for today's move. Roche is up 6%.

"Some 70 percent of the drugmaker’s $6.8 billion in Herceptin revenue last year came from patients who might benefit from the combination tested in the trial, dubbed Affinity."

Not too long ago, we had a $20 handle when biotech was in favor, then it wasn't and down we went. Now the wind is in biotech's sails again so any good news gets amplified instead of ignored. Near term $14.38 is major resistance.
Good luck
