Biotech Stocks for a Possible Year-End Rally

While I like the Biotech sector, and there are many worthy companies to purchase, with real potential big gains, in my opinion, Thanksgiving
week should be slow. More sales than buys too. However, more signals point to a fairly large sell off beginning the first week of December. I believe in the best interest of shareholders, it would be wiser to wait until the third week of January to check the pulse of the Dow, before investing any money into any company.
RISK/REWARD TO DANGEROUS FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, WITH THIS PUMPED UP DOW!

BioMed News Bytes: Cytori, Poniard, Alkermes, Spherix, CRXX, HGSI

MIKE HAVRILLA-Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas. Enjoyed your articles all year.
If I may put in the stocking as a request for the Holidays, when you have the time, can you please give your honest straight forward
opinion, at this current time, your realistic opinion on one stock?
MDRNA INC (MRNA)-IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Why the Stock Market Should Crash

CHARLES YOUR ARTICLE MAKES SENSE AND SOME OF THE COMMENTS AS WELL ARE VERY GOOD IN DEED.
The Dow currently is reflecting only greed and not accurate at all.
Things are getting worse in all aspects and the Dow has to collapse
to a 7,000 level before things begin to get better in my opinion.
In the New york areas, many stores are empty, the remaining store owners are suffering financially. People are asking for credit in stores, and in Manhattan,Brooklyn, and Queens areas, you can witness first hand how citizens are now taking food out of the garbage, after people discard what they have just finished eating for Breakfast, or lunch, or Diner. I have experienced an onslaught of individuals stopping in my place of business looking for work.
People come in crying that they may loose their homes, or be put out of their apartments lately. They say the Recession is over, but I have stated for the past 6 months that we are in a DEPRESSION.
To be ahead of the curve, the only way of complete recovery, for all Americans, and our Country, is a very obvious result.
One that will take years, however the outcome won't be pretty at all. And Charles the answer is on the Wall. It is 'WAR'.
LIKE YOU SAID IN THE BEGINNING, OF YOUR ARTICLE,
MAYBE NOT TODAY, OR EVEN NEXT YEAR, BUT WITHIN 4 YEARS, THIS IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM OUR COUNTRY FACES SINCE 1929!
GOD HELP US!

Today's Closing Update: Slim Gains Boost Dow

update:'MRNA'`11/13/09... REPORT, COMPANY BEAT CONSENSUS BY TWO CENTS? STILL $-.17 CENTS FOR QTR.
SIGNIFICANT? SPEACH BY CEO RE:CONFERENCE CALL-
THIS IS HOW THEY EARN THEIR MONEY, AND DAY AFTER,
A NEWS RELEASE, REGARDING A LETTER FROM NASDAQ.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 6, 2009, the Company received a Staff Deficiency Letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on November 5, 2009, the aggregate market value of the Company's common stock was below the $50,000,000 minimum market value required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as specified by Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(2).
In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has 90 calendar days, or until February 4, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement. To regain compliance, the closing market value of the Company's common stock must equal or exceed $50,000,000 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days or for such longer period that Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum market value requirement by February 4, 2010, Nasdaq will provide the Company written notification that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel.
The Staff Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
A copy of the press release dated November 12, 2009 announcing receipt of the Staff Deficiency Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
WAS THIS DISCUSSED YESTERDAY AT ALL?
DID THEY DISCUSS THE EXPENSE MONEY FOR 2010 AT ALL?
OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND!
IN MY OPINION, THE STOCK CONTINUES ITS 'SOUTH' DIRECTION FROM $1 DOLLAR. TOO MANY NEGATIVES,
TOO EARLY OF A PRE-CLINICAL STAGE COMPANY, AND NO SERIOUS EARNINGS REVENUES WITH EPS GROWTH.
TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Chelsea Therapeutics: There Are Safer Rebound Plays

VFC-While your writing articles, and still haven't replied to my posts
regarding 'MRNA', I thought you would like to see my posting of opinion, that was selected and published today, by "MEDICAL NEWS ADMINISTRATION". SOMEONE THINKS IT IS NEWS WORTHY TO POST ON THEIR FRONT PAGE.

THOUGHT SOMEONE LIKE YOU WITH YOUR STATURE WOULD TACKLE A CHALLENGE WITH EASE, INSTEAD OF THE SAME OLD WEEKLY EASY ARTICLES YOU WRITE ABOUT.

Nastech Pharmaceutical Company Inc. Q2 2008 Earnings Call Transcript

update:MRNA, ONE YEAR THREE MONTHS LATER, THE STOCK IS AROUND $1 DOLLAR. NOV.10TH, STOCK WEAKENING, AND STILL HEADING SOUTH OF $1 DOLLAR AS THE 2009 YEAR WINDS DOWN. COMPANY STILL HAS TO COME UP WITH AROUND $24MILLION TO PAY 2010 EXPENSES.
SOONER OR LATER THEY CAN NOT KEEP DOING THIS, AND WHO IS GOING TO BUY NEW ISSUANCE OF SHARES AFTER THE LAST TWO TIMES. BUYERS ARE STILL STUCK AT HIGHER PRICES THAN TODAY!

3 Biotechs, 3 Big Pharma Plays for the Coming Generics Boom

What a difference three months make! ISIS has 20 drugs and plenty of money now. A real turnaround story worthy of mention.
Nov.10th, A great article, although pre-mature, but never the less
a sensational stock it is. I felt the same way about ISIS two years ago, and couldn't understand why a T.V. personality suggested on the air to sell 'ISIS' and buy 'NSTK'(NOW MRNA). TALK ABOUT EGG ON HIS FACE. THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM BACK THEN,
AND WHERE IS 'MRNA' TODAY, ABOUT $1DOLLAR.
SEEKINGALPHA, DOES HAVE THE BEST WRITERS FOR INVESTORS, AND INVESTORS SHOULD NEVER EVER DEPEND ON T.V.PERSONALITIES OR THE FRIENDLY RESEARCH FIRMS WHO FOLLOW THE COMPANY. THEY GIVE CHRONIC 'BUY' SIGNALS AND HIGH TARGET PRICES THAT NEVER COME CLOSE. AND YET THEY DO NOT REVISE THEIR CALLS EITHER.
THIS IS MY OPINION!

Three Core Biotech Holdings: Isis, Ligand and Vical

Michael Steinberg "nice article". Especially about 'ISIS'.
You know several years ago I liked 'ISIS for my own reasons.
Then someone on T.V. said sell ISIS and by NSTK. From $15
nstk went down to $.28 cents since then. They changed the name to 'MRNA', made two partnership deals went back to $3 dollars, and quickly went back down to around $1.35. Today, 'MRNA opens up at $1 dollar approximately. Back when I thought there was too much hype, too much pumping, including the research firms constant buy signals & high target prices. Now as the year comes to a close, MRNA heads back to under $1 dollar for a second time. Sometimes you must stick with your picks and not be influenced by T.V. personalities, or Research firms.
Anyhow Michael, what say you about 'MRNA'?

Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. Q3 2009 Earnings Conference Call

AT $52.00 I THOUGHT 'AEM' WAS A BUY, AND THE REAL GAINS WILL CONTINUE ALL THROUGH 2010.
THE WAY THE ECONOMY IS, THE DOLLAR WEAK, AND THE DOW INDUSTRIALS NOT REFLECTING REALITY DUE TO THE FUND MANAGERS BEING FORCED TO BUY SINCE MISSING OUT EARLY IN 2009, THERE IS MUCH DISTRESS COMING ARE WAY WITHIN 30-90 DAYS. ONCE THAT HAPPENS THE SMART ONES WILL BUY 'AEM' AND DRIVE THE PRICE TO $100 DOLLARS FROM ITS CURRENT PRICE OF $60 DOLLARS. BEFORE CHRISTMAS, THE FIRST REAL SIGNAL WILL BE IF GOLD HITS OVER $1100 DOLLARS.

Today's Closing Update: Slim Gains Boost Dow

'MRNA' NOW $1.07 BEFORE OPENING TODAY, NOV.9TH,2009
FINANCIAL BLOG-WHERE WILL THE COMPANY ATTAIN THE FINANCES TO CONTINUE TO EXIST FOR ALL OF 2010?
NEGATIVES FAR OUTWEIGH THE POSITIVES IN MANY WAYS!
AND EVEN THOUGH THE QTLY REPORT WILL SHOW A LOSS ON NOV.12TH, LISTEN TO CONFERENCE CALL.
YOU WILL HEAR A REAL ORATOR, A PERFORMANCE BY THE CEO TO EARN HIS PAY IN EVERY WAY.
BOTTOM LINE: WHILE STOCK PRICE IS LOW AND SO MANY IN VIVO REPORTS THAT WERE POSITIVE ALL THROUGH 2009, HOW COME INSIDERS DIDN'T BUY UP ANY SHARES?
HOW MANY TIMES MUST MANAGEMENT DODGE THE BULLETS AND COME UP WITH THE MONEY NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO EXIST?

Charlie Gasparino: Another Crash 'Has to Happen Again'

New President doesn't stand strong about America and Liberty.
His appointees are for the most part, just part of his gang sort of speak. Congress, the men&women have had a good thing going for many years, and it is either play ball, or your outed. So it continues onward. The health bill is merely a Tax Bill in disguise and the citizens of America, must brace for yet another screwing in plain English. Citizens are being screwed by Banks, Wall street, and many professional CEO'S of companies, along with their management teams, friendly Research firms, analysts, high target prices, etc..
Bailouts to Banks, aren't helping the potential American buyers
trying to attain mortgages with 20-25-30% down, because they are being denied left and right. It seems as if the Bank want to hold onto their new found cash instead.
The dollar is not as easy to exchange into Euro's in Europe, because many Americans have to travel Bank to bank to find one who does exchange the dollar today. Next, I understand the new trend for oil purchases, like in Norway, is not accepting the dollar for oil. So the movement is on to replace the currency in America,
and probably will take place within 2 years. Money,greed,and power, has reached new highs in America like the Plague.
YOU CAN NOT TRUST YOUR POLITICIANS, CONGRESSMEN,CONGRESSWO... OR GOVERNMENT WITH ALL THESE CROOKS STILL LINING THEIR POCKETS AND CONTINUED BALL PLAYING
GOINGS ON. TRUST IS REPLACED BY GREED, AND GREED
IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. WE CAN ONLY HAVE A NEW BEGINNING AFTER WE HAVE A TOTAL COLLAPSE
OF GOVERNMENT,ECONOMY,THE AMERICAN DOLLAR,
WHICH WILL COME SOONER THAN LATER.

Four Biotech Stocks to Play the Sector Pullback

VFC-I am surprised you didn't include CELEGENE.
I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT YOU LEFT OUT 'MRNA'.
Which I have been requesting you to elaborate on for
the weary shareholders.
But VFC I think after this years turmoil on the stock market, economy, and many getting burnt financially already, it maybe time
for you to take a vacation. Regenerate, physically & mentally and
come back in January 2010 with a new attitude on investing.
Starting with you wearing a pinstripe suit,blue shirt, and red tie,
but sitting behind an oak desk, looking like a successful adviser
to the general public.
TIME TO WAKE UP VFC!

Property Values Set to Fall 43% from Current Depressed Levels

WAIT JUST A MINUTE! THINGS ARE BAD AND SEEMINGLY GETTING WORSE WITH BANKS GIVING 20%-30% DOWN CUSTOMERS A HEADACHE IN A HALF. WHICH IN TURN GIVES REAL ESTATE BROKERS A HEADACHE TOO.
BUT BARRING A COLLAPSE, DEPRESSION, OR EVEN A NEW CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, PRICES ARE BEGINNING TO STABILIZE, AND HOMES ARE SELLING AGAIN. IF THE BANKS BECOME A LITTLE LESS CRITICAL WHEN IT GOES TO UNDERWRITING, AND MORE PEOPLE USE THEIR LOCAL BANKS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR DECADES, THEN MORE LOANS WOULD BE APPROVED.
WITH THE MILLION OF IMMIGRANTS COMING INTO THE COUNTRY EACH YEAR, HOME PRICES NOT ONLY WILL STABILIZE BUT GO UP WITHIN A YEAR, MOST PROBABLY BY 2-3% DEPENDING ON DEMAND.
YOUR ARTICLE IS MISLEADING AND ALARMING TO THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ANY BETTER. THE RATES PEOPLE GET ON THEIR MONEY TODAY, YOUR BETTER OFF BUYING PROPERTY, COLLECT INCOME, AND HAVE A WRITE OFF EVEN AT TODAYS PRICES WITH LOW 5% MORTGAGES.
YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T COUNT ON THE STOCK MARKET FOR INVESTMENT ANY LONGER, ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE CROOKS IN POSITION STILL.
THAT INCLUDES THE FRIENDLY RESEARCH FIRMS, THEIR ANALYSTS, THEIR BUY RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEIR HIGH TARGET PRICES.
STICK WITH REAL ESTATE AND POCKET SOME MONEY, WHILE ENJOYING THE WRITE OFFS.

Biotech Sector Pullback: Good Time to Buy at a Discount

Wed.10/28/09 vfc now while the stock market is anemic,
with compounding bad news from many sectors, I totally disagree to bargain hunt now at all. The market still may take a hit, but even so the recovery if an is years away.
Look at 'MRNA' Today closed at $1.02, and two weeks ago I asked you to discuss the stock, when it was $1.46.
I thought it would be headed under $1 dollar again, and now with barchart giving short,medium,long trend indicators of 100% sell with overall average of 100% sell,
it's TIMBER for this one.
Your new photo soon won't be sitting in a hammock long,
rather most probale postion will on the ground, because the Market is more than set for Clean out of sorts.
This is not a time to bargain hunt, but a time to hold onto your money with both fists.
