Briggy,

You got a target for Immu??

I have free shares--so I will let them ride and see where it goes. If I have them for 3 months or 3 years it doesnt matter to me. I took the base capital out of two small caps and redeployed some of it.

That was a pretty long time ago--like 2 years? That brought back a juicy return in less than 8 months. It's pretty cheap now but the same environment[when gas jacked up] isnt here to propel that thing right now.

I have read 8 a couple of times - I was investing in a company DNDN who was similar and they popped up to 18 a few times then back down to 5, recently they hit 23+ and have maintained it. It all depends on how phase 3 goes and whether or not they get FDA approval but with the partnerships lining up I think this is a good hold for a bit.

This thing will end up going to the 30s I have a feeling over the next 1-2 years. I kind of wish I powered up on this a lot more and I ended up taking base capital out. 17 a point is still 17 a point--not necessary to be greedy.[yeah right ]

A stock I have taken notice of is BIEL. A lot of good press and results around this penny stock. FDA approval is expected by 9/15 and they are going to be filing 3 more 510k soon.

I invest, so Im gonna ride this for the long run.

Incubate good ideas and be patient. I did very well the last year taking small positions on really down and out things.

No house on nantucket yet!!!!

IGOI looks like it might be ready to pop soon. Technical breakout after 90? Needs the vol to do that.

Briggy,

Whats your take on this?
Brian Orelli
August 28, 2009


All but left for dead at $0.84 per share back in March, Immunomedics (Nasdaq: IMMU) is back with a bang. The stock climbed 60% Thursday after the company reported results from a phase 2 trial testing its epratuzumab drug in patients with lupus.

That mouthwatering six-month return may have gotten Immunomedics (back) on your radar screen, but I'd recommend treading lightly, Fools. Lupus is where drugs go to die, and epratuzumab is a drug that has already died a few times and come back to life.

Sure, epratuzumab could follow in the footsteps of Benlysta, from GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) and Human Genome Sciences (Nasdaq: HGSI), and pass its phase 3 trial, but it could also stumble and end up where Biogen Idec (Nasdaq: BIIB), Teva Pharmaceutical (Nasdaq: TEVA), BioMarin Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BMRN), and so many others have thrown their failed drugs.

Then again, epratuzumab seems to be an unkillable zombie, so maybe it would be right at home in the graveyard. In 2004, Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN) gave Immunomedics back the rights to epratuzumab after a four-year partnership because Amgen didn't think it was worth running a phase 3 trial to test the drug in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. A few years later, the Food and Drug Administration put a hold on a lupus trial, since lifted, after a new partner, UCB, became worried about the sterility of epratuzumab made by Immunomedics.

If you've got a high risk tolerance, Immunomedics might be a reasonable bet still at this point -- it's down about 12% today. Its market cap is a fifth of Human Genome Sciences', which is also developing a lupus drug, so there's still plenty of upside, if the phase 3 trial is successful.

But that's still a big if.

Im watching it. I sold all big cap holdings and took a hard short position quad Q. The only stocks I am long pertaining to anything I have said here are GSIT IGOI ARIA and I have free riding shares on IMMU and imph.

Thanks!

Nalod--there are always going to be fish who are able to swim upstream.
Once I saw support levels on the S+P and Nasdaq coming close to being breached I dumped all big caps and Im up nearly 1 1/2 points on the Quad Q short. Right now you want to be 75-90% cash sit back and see where the market can find strong support. I don't suspect anytime soon

Briggs, Do you ever play the gold and Silver Mining stocks? What is your take on gold?

Re: ARIA - From what I read, ARIA is supposed to get a review by the FDA on its new drug at the end of Sept. So that could really pop with a favorable outcome. Meanwhile ARIA keeps moving upward. Now at $2.25...I only have a small position so I am thinking to buy some more.

Gold is way to expensive. I think IGOI is about to really move--resistance was just taken out so it could move to 1.00+ in a hurry. I would really like to see a 1 to 5-7$ type move--it has moved in the past 1 to 13.

I was under the impression we wouldn't hear about Phase III until December?
