Thanks Dew for your opinions on DYAX.

I was not aware of either Jerini of Pharming. Seems like a fair amount of competition for a small indication.

How do you trade foreign biotechs not listed in the US? I've looked into this, and called several brokers, but it seems like more trouble than it is worth.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Re: DYAX;

What about their libraries program? Seems to be some real value there - but it also looks like they gave up some of the near term earnings from it.

A personal note on DYAX: I tried to place an order through ScotTrade on this stock this morning and was unable to do so online. When I called, ScotTrade said some of these companies are the target of pump and dump schemes - maybe the volume today triggered that with DYAX? I was surprised as it is the first time I have been unable to place an order!
